department OF the Ways anc

3 radical change in the taxation OF So

on (he thoatcr and motion picture in

The memorandum suggests that the
taxes be imposed on retail sales and
on the manufacturer and producer.
Both forms OF these taxes would be
passed on TO the consumer. and. In
the opinion Of members Of the WAYS
and Means Committee. the tax would
be tantamount to an indirect consum'
ption tax on many OF the necessities
Of life.
In relation TO the second class the
memorandum points. out that rev
new sources OF revenue are suggested.
but the first class in recommended
mot only TO raise additional revenues

tion and unnecessary production"
Taxes on the manufacturer or pro-

tions will include motion picture

that the foot tax Of IA and IL cent

cent on the rentals received by the
producer and . double TAI rate on ad'

The long suffering clerk dragged out
his stock frequently in an effort to
satisfy her. But in vain. One day,
in desperation, he resolved upon a
scheme to unload upon her the piece
of damask they had had the longest
in stock, one from which they had
sold the most cloth. She surveyed
the display as before. At last with
a great air, the clerk said, "Now,
madam, | am going to show you some
thing verynew and most original, just
in and extremely choice" He bent
down under the counter and with
great impressiveness produced the
timeworn pattern. "Now, madam"
said he, 81 want you to take particu-
lar notice of this original pattern.
The central design is in the middle,
while the border runs around the
edge" His customer in ! delight

linked with desire to help the coun-

WAR GARDENS

At recent meeting of the
Montana Council of Defense, it
was ordered that all mayors of
towns and cities within the State
be requested to urge upon the
inhabitants thereof, the neces-
sity of planting and maintaining
war gardens. Those who read
the daily newspapers. and | take
it that all the citizens of Plenty
wood do, will have no difficulty
in seeing the urgent need of ev.
cry one having his or her little
war garden. Many towns and
cities throughout the nation
J have set apart certain tracts OF
land, giving the school children
an opportunity to plant such gar
dens under the leadership and
direction of the local teachers
and school superintendent. So
far, to my knowledge. no effort
has been made in that direction,
which in a measure is regretta-
BILE, if conditions were and are
such that it could have been
done, here in Plentywood.
The manhood of the nation
has gone forth to the battIefields
of Europe to fight for the cause
Of right and justice. The supply
of food-stuffs to feed these
fighting men and their comrades
our Allies, has through the sub
marine warfare aided by partial
crop failures, been reduced to a
point where it is absolutely nee
essary for~us all to do every
thing in our power to supplement
that which the farmers usually
and in more happy times SO
abundantly supply. 1t is true.
We are giving our share in Red
] Caoss aid, in Y. M. C. A. aid, in
} purchasing Thrift Stamps and
, in responding to the call for
Liberty loans; but all this will be
OF no avail to us if we neglect
!. the most important Of all-the
supplying our soldiers with food.
Food is the staff of life. and our
soldiers must have it or they
l cannot fight.
