The Excess Profits Tax

The final draft of the new tax bill contains the
excess profits tax.
The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, ma
tona organization poed the local Chambers of Commerce
and other trade organizations taxation majority
favor the retention of the profits "but with in
equaltes removed"
In plain English, the profits tax is
Taxation by of which the small stakeholder

arragned as above by the secretary of the treasury

It cannot be to raise the money, because this same
money if collected in the form of profits taxes
would be distributed dividends and similar amount
could be raised by direct the income of the stock
holders of these corporations.
One thing course, is certan-that this tax, which

POWDER FOR THE NEXT SHE'LL
SPANISH INFLUENZA
STILL ON THE JOB

Yesterday there were about 25
cases of Spanish influenza in Pull
man and large number of men were
in the college gymnasium, which is
being used as a hospital. Thus far
most of the cases here have been
mild, though few patients are seri-
ously i'll. DR.. Gilleland talked with
State Health Officer futile Wednes-
day and was informed that the ban
against opening the schools and the
churches or holding public meetings,
will not be lifted until the epidemic
has died out. New cases are devel-
oping about as fast as old ones are
reported cured, but there does not
appear TO be cause for serious alarm.

GRAIN DEALERS WILL
DISCUSS FEED PROBLEM
Meeting Called at CoIfaN TO Devise
Ways and Means of Meeting
Serious situation

County Food Administrators En-.
erson has issued me following call
for a melting of Grain dealers to dis
cuss the feed problem.
A meeting has been called at Col
fax, Wash, for October Is by the
county food administrator, to devise
ways and means TO meet the feed
problem.
The feed situation has been con-
siderably relieved by the permission
to feed wheat grading lower than
No. 3 or that winch is not of good
millable standard. where special per
NIT has been issued by the county
food administrator.
The situation will become exceed
ingly difficult unless dairymen, feed
ers of stock, feed dealers and all 9TH
ers concerned will cooperate in Sc
curing shipment in Whitman county
sufficient coarse grain and other
feeding the dairy and stock animals.
The above mentioned meeting has
been called at tic request of the
United States ID administration,
asking the assistance of every person
who can possibly attend and help in
solving the problem.
In the abnormal feed situation ii
will not he safe 10 depend upon the
ordinary channels to supply the feed
requirements of our county. I'm
doubtedly the grain dealers and feed
dealers will be the agencies for car
rying out the plans determined upon
by the county convention.
A special feed committee consist |
ing of VIM. Sutherland of Colfax;
Carl Grief of Uni3ntown; P. Jennings |
of St John; James Emert of Pull
man, c. W. Mcfarland of Palouse, |
l.. w. LanEing Of Winona, A. G.. |
Whistler of Garfield, Roy Jones of
Dusty, James Henderson of Cakes
dale, H. G. Tay:Cr of Pennington,
and Mr.. Lawrence Of Tekoa, has been |
appointed.
On account OF tae necessity of
keeping up the milk production the
mill feeds must &C TO the dairy COW,
and all other stock must be supplied |
with other than mill feed. Corn, |
barley and off-grade, non-millable
wheat must be supplied for the other
stock.
There has been no more serious
situation put up for the food admin
istration to solve than the feed prob
lem in the Northwest and we must
have the cooperation of every feeder
of stock
The meeting win be held in the
court house on Friday. October IS,
at 1000 a. m.
