WAR TAX PROVISIONS
. CAUSE OF DISCUSSION

Washington, July l0.-The treas
ury departments proposal for war
taxes, by placing the nation upon a
strictly economic basis was today laid
before congress-
It provides for the doubling of tax
es on beer, liquor, tobacco, which is
generally approved. The suggestion
of taxes on automobiles already pur-
chased is opposed, as is the sugges-
tion doubling the taxes on movies on
the grounds of injuring the morale
of the people. There is likewise op-
position to the 10 per cent tax upon
all leased telegraph lines on the
ground that it would injure the COM
munication of war news and also the
morale of the country.

CR00KSTON SHERIFF
ARRESTS BOOTLECCERS

Crookston, Mimi, July 10.-An-
other plan, whereby liquor can be car
ried into dry territory, was frustrated
by the local sheriff, when he caused
the arrest of four Mcintosh men,
Mike Burns, J. r. O'Donnel, John
Vest and Simon Moen, who were car
rying liquor through this state and
intended for the Dakotas, by means of
a hot water bag.
The party, all of who were asleep,
were arrested about nine miles east Of
the city. The car was then searched
and a half gallon of whiskey in a hot
water bag, together with several bot
ties were found. When questioned in
court, one of the men replied that he
intended taking the half gallon of
whiskey through Dakota, by tying the
bag about his neck and concealing it
under his shirt. He stated that he
had at one time made business of
blind pigging and had always carried
it on in such manner.
Each member of the party was
fined.

PAN AMERICAN VICTORY.
(By Ed. L.. Keen, United Press Co

respondent
! London, July 10.-Kuhlman's res
ignation is interpreted as a pam
American victory. Admiral Won
Hintz is reported as the successor.
He is a friend of i. the kaiser and a
supporter of Admiral Won Tirpitz and
leaders of the Belgian annexation
lists.
However, it is considered Hintz is
not dangerous to the allies, like
Kuehlmann, whose masked peace
plans constantly gave allied pacifists
debating material.
Hintz Is generally chacterized as
the most notorious master Of intrigue
in the kaiser's diplomatic service.
His first notoriety was when he was
minister to China when he was with
drawn. Then he was sent to Mexico
and became involved in plot for
furnishing Huerta with, American
arms during the American embargo.
Finally he was sent to China again
when diplomatic relations were brok-
en- there. Norway next saw him
where last summer he became in
volved in plot to smuggle bombs to
Norway to blow up allied merchant
men.

Washington, July 1O.-It may
be quite an event in the young life
of a private to be assigned to guard

But it has it's disadvantages.
There's this saluting thing.
When an officer passes a soldier on
guard, the private must stop in his
tracks, face his superior, and bring
his rifle to present arms"
OF course that isn't hard work
just now and then
But when officers from the neigh
boring war department pass almost
in a steady stream, it keeps said pri-
vate busy saluting.
So, guarding the President may be
some honor, but it's also some work.
