ALLOTMENT AND ALLOWANCE
CHECKS

There has been change in the sys-
tenn of the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury in the matter
of allotment and allowance checks.
This results in some of the checks
sent out by the bureau being for
smaller sums than heretofore, but the
amounts omitted from the checks sent
out by the bureau will be included in
checks sent out from other sources.
The new system will simplify the
work of the bureau and is expected
to accelerate the payment of allot-
ments and allowances.
Prior to July last the War Risk In
surance Bureau took the compulsory
allotment of SIS month and what
ever additional sum the enlisted man
chose to allot to his family, and the
whole amount, together with the Gov
ernment allowance for dependents was
included in one check and sent out by
the bureau. Beginning with the July
pay the bureau will collect and send
out only the compulsory allotment of
SIS month and the Government fam
lily allowance.
The excess allotments over the COM
pulsory SIS allotment and the allot-
ments to persons not entitled by law
to allowances will not be handled by
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, but
by the War or Navy Department, the
Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, ac-
cording to the branch of service to
which the enlisted man belongs.

Washington Letter.

Washington, August 2O.-(Special
correspondence)- THE Democratic ma
jority in control of the Ways and
Means Committee finds itself up a tree
with respect to taxation of profits,
and we have just had the disgusting
spectacle of these gentlemen, Consti-
tutionally charged with the duty of
raising revenue, running to Secretary
McAdoo to learn what to do. This is
due to two reasons, First they find
themselves quite incapable of drafting
the legislation, and second they fear
to assume responsibility, but prefer
to let McAdoo do it, and shoulder the
blame on him if the country exhibits
resentment. This is the brand of
craftsmanship which has the unpar-
alleled effrontery to request the coun-
try for continuance in control of
Congress on the ground that it is best
fitted to aid the President during the
war 1t is doubtful if in the whole
history of Federal taxation this coun-
try has had such band of incompe-
tents paving over its revenues as it
possesses today when we are confront
ed by the most acute situation in the
annals of the U. S. A. The stuff
which America has had dished out to
it in the way of taxation during the
past five years has produced mental
dizziness and nausea which would
send many a good man to his bunk if
the storm went on, and the ship in
danger. The band, captained by Car
olina Kitchin, is even more ruthless
than Mr.. McAdoo would dare to be,
for he, at least, has had considerable
association with business conditions
and he is not an absolute. vandal in
his dealings with the American indus
trial structure.
There are on the Ways and Means
Committee several gentlemen who un-
derstand how to coax eggs from the
goose without Sitting her weasand.
There is Fordney, of Michigan, for in
stance, senior minority Member, whose
experience in the lumber business, and
in tariff legislation, the outcome of
years of patient investigation, admir-
ably qualities him as wise revenue
legislator; j. Hampton Moore, of Penn
sylvania, whose knowledge of the steel
industry is encyclopedia; William R.
Green, of Iowa, and Charles H. Sloan,
of Nebraska, who know the farming
industry from the furrow to the coun-
ty fair; Nick Longworth, whose ac-
quaintance with Ohio industry ranges
from the Merino sheep to the National
cash register; George Fairchild, of
New York, whose knowledge of Amer
lean business is so prodigious, and
legislative deliberations so sane, that
McAdoo himself was moved to urge
his unopposed candidacy in the next
Congress; Martin, of Louisiana, who
can't be foored on the sugar ques-
ton; Sterling of the great manufac-
turing State of Illinois; and Tread
way, of Massachusetts,, the State
which boots and clothes perhaps so

man from this district, is held in
Gratiot county, says the Gratiot Her.
: aid. No man ever has, no man ever
can serve the county or district, the
state or the nation more faithfully
more efficiently than he. No man has
displayed in this great national crisis
higher type of patriotism nor a
more far reaching view of the future
needs of the nation.
Through all the years of his services
as a congressman he has constantly
increased in strength and usefulness
until today he stands at the head of
bis party representation on the great
est committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Ways and Means COM
mittee, the committee charged with
raising revenues to carry on the war.
He is now bending every energy to
this great task. In letter to the
Herald, he expresses his regret that
he can not come to this county or dis
trict before the primary, and meet the
people personally as he has done so
often in the past, but to do so now
would be to neglect public duty and
this he has never done and will not
now do.
Though Joe is a Republican and
everybody knows it, he has stood with
answering loyalty by every measure
of the Administration which would
help to win the war. None more loyal
than he. Patriotism not partisanship
has directed his every action.
He has given proof of his loyalty in
the most practical way man can
do. TWO OF HIS SONS, a SON-IN-
LAW and TWO GRANDSONS are
now in the service.
His continuance as the foremost
congressman from Michigan is greatly
needed at this time and it is mighty
fortunate that the voters of Gratiot
county can have another opportunity
