EARNED INCOME
Is TAX PUZZLE
COngressmen Must Decide What
It Is
By gibson GARDNER.
l, e, Staff CORRESPONDENT,

Washington. D. C. Aug 30.-How to
work out a just tax on unearned in
comes as compared with earned in.
comes is one Of the knotty questions
t'eing up the revenue bill.
Defining an unearned income is no,
an easy task, the committee finds. It
recognizes the difference between the
income from property inherited and
from property accumulated by the
owner. AS general principle, how
ever an unearned income is made up
of interest, rents and dividends.
while an earned income is received
from business, profession or person
al labor, mental or physical. This
would include also the profits from
trading, promoting and specializing.
Secretary McAdoo before the Ways
and Means committee urged higher
rate than II per cent on unearned in
comes. The committee has been
trying to carry out this recommend.
alton. A majority of the committee
are agreed in the matter of taking
80 per cent of war profits. as urged by
President Wilson.
The treasury Department figures
show that the governments outlay Of
money for war purposes is now con-
sidera5ly over $1,50S, 100000 month.
At this rate, with the increase ex.

THRESH LATE;

ABUNDANT NOW
First Wheat Marketed Here
Loses Grade Because of
Dampness

Evident That General Yield will
be at Least Ten to the
Acre
RUNS ~ BUSHELS EASILY

The DeltoX Grass Rug Co., and east
ern concern which has 5O0-acre farm
five miles east Of Bismarck, is the
first in this vicinity to market 1918
wheat. Its grain is Of high quality
and would run No. generally but
for the high moisture content, which
has knocked off all the way from one
to three grades in samples taken of
grain brought in thus far. The com
pany will have about 600 bushels of
spring wheat. 600 of Durum and 500
Of rye, and the wheat is averaging
10 to 12 bushels the acre.
"It would be much better for all
concerned if threshing were not done
too early in this vicinity said c. A.
Baker, manager of the Russell-Miller
Milling Co.. with whom this wheat is
being marketed, today. Wheat thac
has been properly stacked for two or
three weeks will show comparative
" low moisture content, but the mois-
ture in wheat that is thresked now
will run high, and at the present
prices of wheat, when a grade is
knocked off it means a loss. The
Deltox Co. is the first we know of in
this section to begin threshing"
There is a wide range in wheat
yields apparent within the area of a
single field, where actual threshine
tests have run as low as five bushels
and as high as %, in the neighborhood
of Bismarck. All Of the grain appears
to be of an unusually high quality, ex-
cept as to overabundance of moisture.
which can be corrected by stacking
and delaying threshing.

why HOOVER
ASKS YOU TO
SAVE SUGAR
BY MILTON eRoNNER.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 30,-Why
has Herbert G. Hoover taken SO much
of the sweetness out Of the lives OF
the American people?
Answer: So that he can put more
sweetness into the lives of the Ameri.
can troops. the allied armies and the
allied peoples. 80"
The East Indies source is cut off
because of the lack of shipping.
Sugar can come only from United
States, Cuba and Hawaiian islands.
We used to consume all that sugar
ourselves. In the old days we used to
eat up S,21S,582,0O0 pounds per year.
Sugar is a necessary part of the hll.
man diet. Since the war began we
have been eating too much and the al.
lies too little. Italy got down to 8
pounds per person per year and
France to 13.
If our people will save one-third of
what they used to consume. it is
hoped by the food administration to
give England and France 20 pounds
and Italy IL pounds per person per an
mum.
And what is perhaps more import
ant if we save, there will be ample
sugar for the American, British,
French, Italian and Belgian armies.
The only way to get this sugar is
to save, it. f
The food administration won't 90
into every American kitchen to find
whether he is only using two pounds
of sugar per month, but there is a
check in another way. Sugar is allo-
Gated each month to each state ac-
cording to population. For a state
with 100000 inhabitants 100000
pounds is allowed. Every person who
dishonesty and unpatriotically uses
more than the allotted two pounds of
sugar, robs some other person of his
sugar allowance just as surely as il
he entered the others pantry and car
ried away the sugar bowl.
The worlds sugar situation is best
illustrated by a comparison of the
wholesale prices per 100 pounds for
sugar in the great cities: New York,
$3.50; Montreal, $780,; Paris $12.2S;
London, $3.50; Rome, $3.50.

that the room situation has been cas-

.SHAKE-UP in DRAFT
LISTS IS IMMINENT
CROWDER ORDERS A CLASSIFI-
CATION INQUIRY. CLASS 1
NEAR EXHAUSTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With the
double purpose of increasing the
number of men available for military
service and of insuring fairer admin
istration of the selective service law,
Provost Marshal General Crowder to-
day telegraphed governors of all
states asking immediate re-investiga-
ton of the draft classification lists
everywhere.
Glass l, already exhausted in some
localities by the repeated calls, con-
tains 28.7 per cent. of all the regis
trants, according to the national
average, but percentages in the $500
local exemption board districts vary
most materially both up and down
from the average figure.
Some Claims Ungrounded.
By Stacker marriages" and un-
grounded claim of right to industrial
or agricultural exemption, General
Crowder believes, some registrants
have imposed upon the local boards
to escape service, while in other dis
tricts an application of the regula-
lions has been perhaps stricter than
IS intended. The governors and the
appeal agents are asked to investi-
gate and upon evidence to ask boards
to reclassify men. Assistance of the
public through supplying information
to the boards also is asked.
1t was said today that with the
gradual exhaustion of class unskill-
ed farm laborers whom the boards
have been allowed to place at its bot
tom will have to go to environments.
There will be no change in this poll
cy and the only relief, it is declared,
will come from enforcement of the
work or fight" order generally.
