 Il laborers, registrants by or in re- spect of whom no deferred classified tion is made or claimed, registrants who fail to submit questionaires and in respect of whom no deferred clas- sification is claimed or made, and all Iregistrants not included in any other division of the schedule.
 The plan would place upon the un- attached single men and married men with independent incomes most of the weight of military duty, for the aggre- gate number of men in the other di- sions of Class is very small. General Crowder finds that the first draft surpassed the highest expecta- tions.
 General Crowder says that 9,586 ,508 men between the ages of q and 31 registered in the first draft. Up to late in December only 5,97O arrests had been made of those who had sought to evade registration and of that number 2,263 were released after having registered and there remain only 2,095 cases to be pros ecuted. The report says it will be shown that only .O0026 per cent of the men within the draft age eyad- ed registration.
 A rough figure of 8.2 per cent is given as the number of registrants who failed to appear when called by their local boards, but General Crow der says that most of the men al- ready are in Europe in the Ameri- can, British and French armies.
 "The final data will undoubtedly show General Crowder adds, "that the number of those who wilfully failed to appear for examination is insignificant"
 Of the total registration of 9,586,- 5G8 the number called and examined was 3,O82,949 and of these 1,057,- 363 were certified by the boards for military service. Since the first call was for only 6S7,O00 men, there remain 370,363 men awaiting sum- mons to the mobilization camps.
 Of all men examined, 730,756, or 23.7 per cent, were rejected for phy- sical reasons. That, it is said, shows an encouraging imp1 ovement in the physical condition of the young men of the nation.

Dlncome taxes This
 D1evy is imposed on individ-
 With no capital, or with only nominal capital, such as professional men with money invested in books, dentist and physicians instruments, or other equipment.
 Another kind of tax is laid on excess profits of businesses having invested capital II this basis, taxes on net incomes or profits in excess of certain deductions are at the rate of 20 per cent of the amount of net income in excess of the deduction and not in excess of 15 per cent on the invested capital. On this basis, taxes amount in excess of 15 per cent and not in excess of 20 per cent; 35 per cent on the amount in excess of 20 per cent and not in excess of 25 per cent; 40 per cent on the amount in excess of 25 per cent and not in ex- cess of B per cent; and 60 per cent on the amount in excess of 33 per cent.
 Before tax is levied on excess profits, for 1917, business is per- mitted to make the same per centage of profit on it's invested capital that it made on it's invested captal during 1911, 1912 and 1913, the so-called "pre-war" period, providing this is not more than nine per cent, and $3,- 900 additional for a corporation or $6,O0O for a partnership or indivil- ual These are the deductions which are not taxable.
 Definitions of terms, particularly the items making up invested cap- ital," have been made in number of recent regulations issued by Com missioner Roper.
 Excess profits axes and income taxes may be imposed on the same earnings, if they are sufficiently high The law specifics, however, that the amount of tax payable under the excess profits provision may be deducted from gross income, before determining the net income on which income taxes are paid.

 From excess profits taxes, the gov ernment expects to realize about S1,22O,O0O,0OO before July 1.
 The rate of tax for married man or the head of a family is 2 per cent on the amount of his net income exceeding $2,0OO, but less than $4,- 900, and per cent on the amount of his net income above $4,000 but less than $5,OO0 An unmarried person not the head of family will pay 2 per cent on the amount of net in- come above $1,OOO but less than $3,- 900, and 4 per cent on the net in- come above $3,000 but less than $5,- 900.
 An extra levy, or surtax, in addi- tion. to the normal tax, is imposed on incomes above $5,000, so that the amount of income between $5,000 adn $7,50O is subject to total in- come tax, including both normal and extra, of 5 per cent; and between $7,50O and $1O,000, 6 per cent. The surtax further increases with higher incomes, so that amounts of $1,000,- 900 are taxable at 65 per cent with one per cent additional for each half million up to two million dollars. All incomes over the latter amount are taxable at 67 per cent.
 Typical income tax Nwies on heads of families are as follows: Income of $2,5OO, tax is $10; income of $3,- 900, tax is $2O; income of $3,5OO, tax is $30; ipG61u s1noQ, tax is

Yes Russia is good deal disorganized

Russia has found something which her
and their fathers and grandfathers and great

own a part OF it, to live lives of order.
