ELECTION HOLDS UP
TAXATION SCHEDULE
Senate Labors Over Clumsy
Features Of Assessments
on Incomes
THE TREASURY
is FORCED TO ACT

WASHINGTON. oct. 2-Business anC
the people Of the country cannot posi-
bly, know definitely the amount Of Tho
taxes they viii be called on 30 pay unit
after election. This is now conceded
by members Of the Senate Finance
Committee. When the committee sd-
journed yesterday II was only part way
through the income tax title Of the new
revenue bill the first Of its lengthy
titles.
The delay Of the Ways and Means
Committee and the House in acting on
the bin giving the Senate a chance OF
the Liberty Loan drive made II neces-
sary for the Treasury Department TO is
sue S6.0OOO00,0O0 loan instead Of q
s5,OOO,O00O00 loan. Had the bill been on
the statute books before September 2S
as repeatedly urged by the Secretary OF
the Treasury, It would only have been
necessary to issue a S5.O0,0000O0 loan al
this time
Authority for this statement is found
in the testimony sent by Mr.. McAdoO
before the Ways and Means Committee
urging Chairman Kitchin North Caro-
lina) to use every means OF eXpeditlng
the passage OF the bill. On August IA
Mr.. McAdOO said TO the committee:
If we should be able 90 get the bill
through before September 2s / think
we could rely upon the sale OF certifl-
Gates on indebtedness maturing at the
tax payment date or dates to reduce
the next Offering of bonds by 100000
600, which would be a happy thing for
the country"
Mr. Kitchin did not get the measure
through the House until September 90
TO follow out Mr.. McAdoo's desires this
left just eight days, including Sundays,
for the Senate Finance Committee. the
Senate itself and the conference between
the Senate and House 10 go all through
the bill, correct its inequities and have
It signed by the President. Manifestly
this was impossible,
The Senate Finance Committee is en-
tirely out Of harmony with many Of the
ideas Mr.. Ktchin wrote into the bill and
the committee is expected TO make inn
pOrtant changes. The real fight on the
measure undoubtedly will come in con
ference when Mr.. Kitchn will make a
protracted last stand for leaving in the
DILL the Objectionable excess profits
taxes and the differential on distributed
and undistributed corporate income.
The silver lining to the cloud in hay-
ing had the bill delayed in the House
until it was impossible TO comply with
the urgent request Of the Adminlstra-
tlon is the fact that it is admittedly inn
possible to get the measure out OF the
way in a hurry now, and the Senate
Finance Committee will take its time in
seeking to correct its absurdlty and de-
fects. At the rate at which the Finance
has been proceeding II is
probable that several weeks will elapse
before the bill Is ready for the Senate.
Allowing two weeks for the Senate to
pass the measure the necessarily
lengthy conferences with the House
rannot begin before the middle Of No |
Vember As the period for election cam
Daigns viii start about October 20 10 is 1
,afe to say that little will be accom-
)lished from the time the Liberty Loan
irive ends until after election.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-Slacker raids ,

OF Justice, if the President approves
the plans of Attorney-General Gregory
which have already been indorsed b,
the War Department. The raids will be
conducted in a number of eastern cities
as we'll as on the Pacific coast.
There has been lull in such actiyi- .
ties since the raids in New York, which
preceded the last registration OF men
from is TO 45 years. Following the
stir in New York, however, different
methods will be pursued in the new
raids. They will be conducted by quail. =
fed agents of the Department Of Justice
with the cooperation of the military
and other forces. Arrests will not be :
made except by duly qualified officers
deemed by the department TO have
proper discretion. Investigation OF tn,
New York raids showed members o.
cooperating agencies were exercising

i. 5. Will NOT
ORDER CUT IN
auto OUTPUT
Manufacturers Committee
Assured Of Fair Treat
ment for Industry

New York, June 1.-The story that
the government intends to order a
rs per cent reduction in passenger
automobile production was exploded
at the meeting in this city of the
directors Of the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, whose
members include every important
motor car maker in the country ex-
cept Henry Ford. The story didn't
exactly explode; 1t just fixed out
when a pin was stuck into il.
1t was announced that no state
ment had ever been made by gov
eminent officials or by any Of the
constituted boards that it was in
tended to cut passenger car pro-
duction to that figure Of any other
figure. What is more, the motor
car makers are pretty well assured,
as a result of conferences the early
part Of this week in Washington,
that no formal order curtailing the
output Of passenger automobiles is
to be issued.
Furthermore, it was learned, the
motor car manufacturers committee
was assured at Washington that no
order had been issued to steel makers
to stop shipments to automobile fac
tories. ANY such step taken by steel
makers is apparently on their own
authority. The government repre-
sentatives in Washington assured the
automobile people at the recent con-
ference that they had no prejudice
against that industry or any other
industry, and that the only action
taken which might affect automobile
or other production would come
ABOUT solely through prior needs Of
the government for its war program.
With this condition, of course, the
automobile people are in perfect
agreement, because they, as well as
other patriotic business men of the
country, want the war to be won, re-
gardless Of the way it may affect
their individual prosperity.

KEEP DOWN LICE.

1t means more eggs and better
growth in chicks. Lice kill profit
Body lice live and multiply on the
body Of the chicks and fowls. To
destroy, these dust the hen and chicks
with a good insect powder. Hens
with chicks should be busted every
two or three weeks or as often as
necessary until the chicks are
weaned.
Head lice attach themselves to the
head Of the chicks. Head lice can
be killed and prevented by greasing
the head with little lard or vase
line. This may be applied with the
fingers on the head and neck.
Mites feed upon the birds at night
leaving them during the day. They
live in the roosts. cracks, nestboxes
and nearby woodwork. They cause
great suffering and spoil growth.
They can be killed by painting the
roosts, nests and floors of chicken
coops with kerosene or some strong
disinfectant.- J. Peterson, Ex-

France, April 21st, 1918


MY Dear Hal: acknowledge re-
ceipt of your last two letters and the
packages which made the long jour
ney over the line Of communications
safely and In good order. 1t is a
course of constant regret that can
not write more often and that can
not make letters interesting. The
reasons must however, be apparent
to you. This is indeed a strenuous
life, leaving little time for CORES
pondence and the censorship rules
are so rigid that everything OF in
terest is prescribed.
Doubtless the restrictions are wise
and necessary, but it is inconvenient
when we wish to relate the interest
ing things we see or tell Of exciting
experiences through which we pass.
Though my duties were not usually
aFduous at home, there were many
times when I thought was indeed
busy; but this life makes the routine
at home seem like a long, joyous hol-
fday. It is not bad at all, for war.
and we seldom hear q complaint; but
whenever one gets alone for q few
moments, as is sometimes the case
late at night, and goes out under the
canopy OF heaven and meditates on the
friends at home and the memory Of
through the mind it makes you long
for the smile of old acquaintances
and the hearty greeting OF friends.
Doubtless you can understand that in
the reorganization of an army, SOL
diers are shifted hither and yonder,
as best NETS the necessity Of the SER
vice, and we are therefore, among
strangers most OF the time. pre-
sumo one who has had as great a
variety Of experiences as /, can hard
~ be said to be homesick-but there
are moments when an almost mex
pressible longing for familiar faces
and sights overWhelms one-and the
remedy is to get busy and forget it.
We don't have to look about much
for the opportunity to get busy. In
fact it has been constant work of one
sort or another every day since we
landed in Sunny France and that
means Sundays and holidays as we'll
as week days. 1t has been said that
there is no Sunday in the army. That
is undoubtedly true in campaign;
though you can ordinarily go to a z.
M. c. A. meeting on Sunday even
ing and the Y is everywhere and al
ways busy. 1t Is wonderfully inter-
esting and helpful work that the in
stitution is doing here in their
''huts."
wish could tell you Of the prep
arations that are going on here to
finish this job thoroughly, but you
will have TO let the honorable secre-

ployment in the armies in the field
and the service of supply. Though
the methods are vastly changed, the
personnel, both enlisted and commits
stoned, is much the same, capable,
willing, self-respecting men, who are
trying conscientiously to live up to
the best ideals Of our country and

of this distasteful task. We undoubt-
eddy have some black sheep in our
midst, but the excellent conduct of

ments made TO him. The newspaper
| man in question was called IN and he
told the automobile manufacturers
that he was responsible for the nlis-
| take and that there was no official
| basis for the Is per cent figure.
| Which clears UP things as far as the
Washington situation is concerned,
but hardly makes up for the damage
| to the Industry and its dealers
caused by the publicity given to the
''75 per cent" story the country over.
The automobile people were told
that the war needs Of the govern
ment naturally came first and they
as far as labor, materials, supplies,
transportation, etc, were concerned,
| would have to be filled 100 per cent
before the calls Of any industry could
be considered.
The automobile and other indus
tries will not be put in the position
Of having to wait until every gov
eminent need for the full program
is satisfied before any materials are
available for nOn-war business But
all orders for non-war goods will be
taken subject to government priority.
Some Reduction Expected.
Directors of the chamber OF COM
merce said that under the circun1-
stances some reduction in passen-
ger car output is natural, inasmueii
as getting materials in quantity is
uncertain. Some things will be easy
to obtain and others difficult, and
the part of wisdom will be to order
throughout in moderate amounts, In
order to avoid unbalanced inven-
tories and the possibility of hav-
ing production thrown off its base
through having a complete supply Of
say 80 per cent Of cars elements
on hand, with little or no chance
Of rapid delivery Of materials for the
remaining 20 per cent.
A letter covering the foregoing was
sent out after the meeting to the
companies members Of the chamber
OF commerce. The general advice
given was that the companies would
have to form their own judgments on
how to proceed in the situation, but
that it would be a case of "go slowly
and watch your STEP
At the meeting there were present
also executives to the leading auto
mobile tire companies. The prob
lens Of production Of the motor car
makers are necessarily those OF the
tire manufacturers, because reduced
output in automobiles means fewer
tires for factory equipment as well.
The tire men conferred with the d.
rectors regarding the commercial
economics boards plan to reduce the
number Of rim and pneumatic tire
sizes to be used in motor car pro-
duction for 1919 and 1920.
