NEW YORK OPPOSES
TAX ON STATE BONDS
Wires Governor OF Virginia To Inter
yene Against Passage of Income
Revenue Measure.

The new revenue bill which has just
passed the lower house OF congress
bids fair to kick up considerable
rumpus. inasmuch as it's income TEA
ture VIII carry income taxes on the
holders of state. city and county
bonds.
Charles l.. Craig, comptroller OF the
city of New York has addressed tele-
gram to the various governors OF the
states expressing great alarm about
the matter, and setting forth that the
various commonwealth and their
Subdivisions will suffer great distress
as consequence.
The telegram as sent to Governor
Westmoreland Davis liz in the follow
ing words:
The new revense bill now before
congress contains provision Tor tho
taxation of income from state, nuni-
taxation of inrome from state. mdni-
cipal, county. village, school. district
and other similar bonds Such TAI
will seriously cripple state and local
governmental functions. IT is IN enect
a tax upon public schools. hospitals.
charitable and penal institutions, FIRE
and police protection, water supply
and other vital and indispensable pub
lie necessities.
Moreover, the effect Of such tax
would endure for many years after the
war. me power 10 Lax IN WIG PV"SA
to destroy. The problematAcAl gain
from such a tax cannot onset the In
jury to state and local governments.
All these desire to support the vigor-
Gus prosecution OF the war and to
avoid legislative errors. This tax Will
not help the sale OF liberty bonds, but
1t will prejudice state. municipal and
county bonds.
Please Immediately telegraph your
senator's and congressman to have
such provisions eliminated from the
revenue bill and request like kilograms
TO be sent by the various cities. couy,-
ties, school districts and other local
subdivisions In your state. Quick ac-
ton will be effective"
The governor turned the telegram
over to the state council OF defense
and asked the immediate considera-
ton of the matter.
Whereupon the council passed the
following resolution;
Resolved, That the telegram Ad-
dressed to his excellency. Westmore-
land Davis, governor OF Virginia by
Honorable Charles l.. Craig, comp
troiier OF the city OF New York. be
referred to the delegation in congress
for such attention and action as 1t
may deem proper to take after con-
ference with representatives OF other
states as to local action on the sub
ject matter OF the telegram, IT being
the opinion of the Virginia council OF
defense that recourse should not be
had to this method Of taxation ex-
cept as last extremity of the federal
government"

'CAMOUFlAGE DUMPS

Some OF the most renowned artists
are commissioned for this work. Nor
is this a soft job Much 'of their
duties are discharged at the very edge
Of the firing line. The artists Of all
allied countries engaged In this work
have shown great bravery. Some have
paid with their lives for putting up
camouhage at particularly exposed
points.
Piled high at the camoufiage dumps
are stacks of underbrush and saptingA
stripped burlap and rolls of chicken
wire, enormous sheets OF canvass
painted to represent meadows or
titled ground or patches OF thicket.
These are used to cover biiiets or
aerodrome tents. The chicken wire,
laced with stripped burlap is used to
screen the roads.

for instance. there is fencing twenty
feet high extending for fifteen or more
hkilometers. Every yard reminds you
that you are observation by the enemy

Unity of action in Washingto on is
as essential now as unity of military
command in France is one of the
striking statements of the democratic
chairman and he concludes with this
modest appeal to the American
voters:
1.-THE presidents party confidently

In the face of the recorded votes
and actions. 1t is idle for the repub-
lican leaders TO assert that the repub-

constructive. The contrary is the
case.
just as the federal reserve law,
the tariff commission act and others
were enacted over republican oppo-
sition: the shipping bill. three war
revenue measures. and. indeed. the
war resolution itself were put through
over stubborn opposition OF the

Dozens of war measures could be
cited To show how democratic sup

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

Premier LloydGeorge set forth
Great Britain's war aims In speech
before delegates OF trades unions at
London. He made II clear what the
British nation and empire would re-

This, he declared, must be achieved
by the re-establisnment Of the sane
