THE NEW REVENUE BILL

The new war revenue bill, which Is expected to raise eight billions of dol, lars. and which Is now in the hands Of the senate finance committee, having passed the house and been transmit ted to the senate yesterday, is the largest ever presented to any legisla- tive body. 1t was first taken up by the ways and means committee on May 2S. and was reported to the house on September B. This is considered a speed record in view of the magnitu" of the legislation The scope of the income-taX provisions of the bill IS q wide one One innovation is the taxing of the income of the President and other officers of the federal gov Crnment Corporations pay an income tax on incomes over $2,000 subject to various exemptions and deductions, of 12 per cent of the amount paid in dividends and interest on bonds and of IS per cent on income not so dis trbuted. Income taxes may be paid for the calendar or fiscal year, and in installments. The tax-payment dates, on the calendar year basis, will be March 15, May Is and July 15 of the succeeding year.
 Instead of the old eXcess-profits tax corporations will pay tax upon either "war-profits" basis or an ''ex. Cess-profts" basis, depending on which yields the more revenue. The ''war.protits" tax is so per cent on the income of a corporation after an exemption of $3,000 in addition to it's average earnings for the pre-war pc riod 1911, 1912 and 1913, has been deducted, For the "excessproiits" tax there is an exemption of $3,000, plus per cent of the invested capital, and the remaining profits are taxed on q sliding scale of from 35 to 70 IT., cent.
 InheritanCes are taxed by a system of surtaXeS equivalent to tax rate estates over $lO,0O0000.

Usually crisis has occurred after two or three days, with rapid and complete recovery. In many cases there has been a harsh cough with a scanty sputum; occasionally more severe bronchitis and even bron- cho-pneumonia have developed: but among the young and healthy there seem to have been no serious conse- uuences, and no definite statements are made as to the death rate, which low Gastro.intestinal disturbances have not been observed.
 The observers on whose authority these statements are ventured do not agree as to the baCteriology of the disease Blood cultures have not yielded any definite results, and so far no immunologic tests seem 10 have been made. In editorial com ment the British Medical Journal states that the influenza bacillus has been found in many different places, especially in cases with bronchitis and pneumonia and that the general opin- ion seems to be that the pandemic is due to the bacillus. This opinion Is by no means unanimous. however, and the bacteriologic and other evidence nt hand certainly does not warrant it's acceptance. Much further work is required before we can feel sure that we understand the true nature and cause of this and similar pandemics.
 "The treatment remains symptom atic-rest in bed, free movements of the bowels, and light diet are the most important measures
 No doubt the spread of the infeC- tiOn, whatever 1t is, would be limited considerably if the dangers of drOplet infections were recognized more widely and guarded against"

 The democratic governments of the world also have been assuming vast industrial functions since the war and it is possible that some of these functions will be permanent. But these activities are not based on any state doctrine taught the people by governments. When the people have felt a need, the state has been their servant to supply that need-whereas in Germany it is the people that are the servants of the state. In America it is our state, and we are fighting to show not only that it can do every thing that the German state has done, but can succeed where autocracy has failed
 11S iS NIldt Nt tll AiGiiiAio M However humiliating it may be, we did not seriously aim at the maximum of national efficiency in government and industry in time of peace. Only the frightful punishment and curse of war could bring the democratic peo- ples to exert themselves to the maxi mum as nations. Not only are we obliged to do our best now to remove every national weakness. The enemy gains still more from the baseness that has fingered among us-the betrayal of our own democratic principles.
 We are fighting, then. not for what democracy was at it's worst. but for what democracy can be at it's best. No; this is not negative war. It is war to advance democracy. And the only way We can advance democracy even in war time-is to develop it. only in this way can we administer to the enemies of democracy a lasting Dhy sical mental, and moral defeat.

POPULATION OF
 NOME DECREASING

The Nome Nugget of November 10 says:
 Conservative estimates place the population of Nome at the present time as between eight and nine hun dred people. According to the report of the Customs House, published in another column, the number of people arriving here during the season was 7S7. The number departing during the same period according to the report was 1.343.. TO which must be added eight more who were taken aboard the Umatilla after the report was made up, making the total number of departures 1851. Taking the differ ence between the arrivals and depart ures it appears that the population is about 500 less than last year. It must be remembered however, that not all of the departures were from Nome Many old timers of the Candle Council and other districts who have not been outside for years are includ- ed in the list As no figures are avail able it is impossible to more than es- innate the number of outside district residents who have departed but it is thought that they will number close to two hundred, leaving the excess of Nome departures over arrivals at ap- proximately three hundred. As the population of the camp last winter was estimated as being between elev- en and twelve hundred, the deduction of three hundred from the minimum number leaves balance of eight hun dred as the present population. It is probable however, that the actual population is closer to nine than eight hundred as many persons have arriv- ed here from interior points to take up permanent residence here.

All reports coming in indicate that there will be an abundance of fox and mink this winter in various sections of the Seward Peninsula. Not in years have fox been so plentiful and this plenty is in marked contrast to the lack of ptarmigan and the failure of the rabbits Further another inter esting fact in connection with Arctic animal life here is that field mice and moles were never so abundant. Their mounds are literally to be seen every where. As these furnish the foxes with food, their plentifulness also means that the fox Will be fat and plentiful also. Old tin crs explain the matter of the excessive numbers of mice and moles as due to the fact that there have teen no tundra fires owing to the inclement weather, pre- venting them. These fires usually are very destructive of field life helped to overcome the normal fecundity Of these animals.-Nome Industrial Worker.

ALLIED WOMEN MEET AT
PARIS HOSTESS HOUSE
Y. W. c. A. Aids Strangers to Obey
Police Rules.

New York-When you leave for
France have your autobiography
ready for the time of your arrival at a
hotel in Paris, for no matter what the
hour, you will have to give it as you
sign the register, that the police may
look over the record the first thing in
the morning.
This bit of advice comes from Miss
Blanche Geary, construction expert of
the Y. w. c. A., who is home on leave
niw after having opened Hotel Petro-
grad the Y. w, c. A. hostess house in
Paris.
When a college reconstruction unit
or q group of Red Cross nurses arrive
at Hotel Petrograd on the 1870 train,
Miss Geary says, secretaries there
sometimes sit up most of the night
officer who arrives each morning at
$50.
Hotel Petrograd is really the head
quarters for allied women in Paris.
All of the college groups doing recon-
struction. canteen. or refuge work in
France make it theor headquarters
when in Paris or use it asa clubhouse
Women of the telephone unit of the
American signal corps are taken there
until space is found for them in their
own hotel. just established by the Y
w. c. A., or until they are moved to
other cities.
Red Cross nurses stay there before
going on to base hospitals and Y. NJ.
c. A. canteen workers are lodged
there. Women workers come in from
the front and from base hospitals to
spend their leave at the hotel and
rest before returning to active duty
1t is an old fashioned structure,
about forty years old. and horses be-
tween $50 and 1856 women. 1t is in
the center of the busy district, near
several subways and the big railroad
stations, and whenever word comes
through the Red Cross or any other
organization that gronp of women is
arriving, a secretary is always at the
station to welcome them, and Hotel
Petrograd is made their home while
waiting in Paris for orders or equip
ment.
In the tearoom each afternoon can
be found uniforms of many lands and
orders, for Paris is a city of uniforms
and the hostess house is center for
them.
1t was Miss Geary who found the
hotel, opened it, and put it on a run
ming basis. She is authority on econo-
mics. having written several books on
practical family budgets and dealing
with economic problems of ordinary
family life.

Our Yankee boys over on the West

at least like to look at some of those

Two trains are being routed through
the Fourth District for three weeks
between September 20 and October
ID, so that you all may look at these
trophies Of the war. The trains are
to be known as Uncle Sans War Tro-
ply Trains. On each will be a COM
plete equipment Of the uniforms and
arms issued to sailors, soldiers and
marines Of the allied nations, captured
field pieces and rifles used by the Hun
until the Yanks at Chateau Thierry
took them away, depth bombs which
our sailors use in their hunts for u
boats, aerial bombs such as the air.
men Of the allies drop on the NUM-
lions bases and railroad stations in
the cities along the Rhine, anti.air
craft guns and all Of the other impedi-
menta Of war.
A detail Of fighting Yankees will be
with each train. The War Depart
mont has assigned them to these tours.
Each train will also carry a corps of
crack salesmen and speakers to tell
the story Of the power Of money in
the war and to get the pledges Of the
hundreds Of thousands the trains are
expected to attract to buy Liberty
Bonds Of the Fourth Loan.
On each train will be an "air raid
alarm" siren. They are the sirens
which strike terror to the hearts Of
the citizens of the towns which are
visited from time to time by Hun
planes with their deadly freight Of
bombs which they drop on hospitals
and which STAY women and children

land. The sirens on the trains will
blow as the trains approach their stop
ping towns and herald the message OF
the Liberty Loan which the speakers
will deliver.
Would you travel forty or nifty
miles to see the helmet which one of
your town boys carried back across
No Mans Land on the top Of his bay

saving in the dietary of more than
100000 men, has been organized thru
joint action of a committee of the
Federal Food Administrators for
those States, cooperating with Col
Brice p. Disque, Signal Corps. Unit
ed States Army.
Lieut. Thorfnn Tharaldson has
been detailed by Col Disque as direc-
tor of the regional organization,
which will report to the Food Admin
istration at Washington. Through the
Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lum-
bermen the food-saving campaign is
being linked up with patriotic drive
to bring home to the men sense of
their responsibility for the successful
conduct of the war They are engaged
daily in getting out vast quantities of
timber for ship and aeroplane build
ing.
Moving-picture machines have been
secured and lectures will be given by
prominent speakers. The Loyal Leg
ion recently passed resolutions pledg-
ing its heartiest support TO the Food
Administration.
Plans adopted for the food-saving
drive by the committee, which has
wide powers, call for establishment of

STOCKER CATTLE
DAY AT COUNTY
STOCK SALES
Next County Court Day in Maysville
vile viii BE One of the Biggest
the City and County Has Yet
Seen-EXpert AuctiOneer
To BE On Hand.

Plans for the October County Court
day stock sales in Maysville are 60
ing forward rapidly and those at the
head of the arrangements for the
sales report that there is every reason
to believe that this next sale will be
by far the biggest sale ever held in
Mason county in recent months.
The next sale will be Stocker cat
tie sale and the Maysville butchers
have promised to purchase as much of
the cattle as is offered and will serve
their purposes. Arrangements have
we'll known auctioneer of Fleming
county to be the official auctioneer
for the day. He will be at the stock
yards early and stay late to sell at
public auction any cattle that the
farmers might bring to the city.
A large number of full bred boar
pigs will also be sold to farmers who
desire to keep a male during the COM
ing season. 1t is understood that some
of the best in the county will be here
to be offered for sale and those who
are looking for a sire for this season
will miss it if they are not on hand at
this sale.
Farmers will likely be over their
tobacco housing rush and will want to
talk to each other to find out how the
crop turned out and this too, is ex-
pected to attract many farmers to
Maysville.
