and plate; upon slaughtered cattle,

bonds, banking institutions and in

pay of officers in the service of the
United States; upon advertisements,
income and legacies and an extended
list of stamp duties.
From this it may be seen that his
system was very similar in nature
to the war time system now in vogue
and that the new measure Of the pre-
sent day may be said to have been
modelled upon the Civil War bill.
Owing to the unsettled condition of
business the returns from this wide
reaching revenue bill were disap-
pointing and for the fiscal year of 1862
SO but $3764O,OO was realized
instead of the $15O,OO,OOO that had
been anticipated. 1t was therefore,
found necessary to make change
in the policy of the bill and this was
done in 1864 when the rate was radi-
;cally increased, being doubled and
even tripled in many cases. Distilled
spirits and tobacco were hit hardest
by the bill for the rates on the former,
(which had been twenty to sixty cents
a gallon, was increased to $3.50 and 81
a gallon, while cigars, which had
been assessed at maximum rate of
$3.50 a thousand were now taxed at
$40 a thousand
Industry and commercespeedily
adjusted themselves to the new
conditions and during the fiscal var
of 1863-64 the interal tax system
yielded a revenue of $109,746 900 and
in tn following year the return was
5000, 464,OOO.
1t may seen from this that the
revenue needed for the Civil War
was very modest proportion and it
was modest when compared with the
billions required to finance the presnt
world conflict But it must be re
:
membered that aside from the reve-
nue. derived from taxation vast sums
were realized through a series of
loans.

THE PERlscoPE

| If the popular conception of the
periscope and the manner in which
it is brought to the surface and low
cred, were accurate, chasing subma-
rines would be much easier task
| than American destroyer commanders
have laid out for them. They do not
see a pipe four or five inches in diam
eter with lenses at the top swishing
through the water or disappearing
during rather slow process of sub
marining a U-boat.
Instead they see, if they are for
tunate enough, slender pipe not
more than one and one half inches in
diameter shoot up above the surface
and disappear within a few seconds.
T. is the telescopes periscope that
may be operated from a depth of sew
eral feet. All underwater craft now
are equippepd with them rather than
the old type which, through photo
graphs and drawings, has been i'm
pressed upon many people.
The operation of the periscOpe is
controlled 10 a large extent by very
delicate instrument which denotes to
the U-boat commander the condition
of the sea at the surface. If it is com
paratively smooth which enhances the
danger of detection he need raise the
periscope only few inches above
the surface. If it is rough he must
raise the "eye" higher but he real.
ly is not in as great danger as if the
water was calm because it is diff
cult for an observer on another ship
to see the small instrument in heavy
sea.
The instrument is controlled by
water pressure which varies with the
height and violence of the waves and
shows actual surface conditions on
an indicator in the ship.
In one successful fight with a u
boat it was estimate that the peri
scope was visible less than ten sec
onds. It came up very close to
destroyer doubtless a great deal clos
er than the submarine commander ahd
reckoned, and when he realized his
peril he attempted to scurry away.
But depth charge was dropped and
German submarine power decreased
by one loaf.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
HISTORY OF INCOME TAX

The income tax as a means of
raising war revenue really is nothing
new to the American people.
1t was inaugurated in 1861, at
time when money was needed to
finance the Civil War, and it continued
In operation until 1872. The first tax
on incomes was authorized at rate
of three<percent on all incomes above
$500 per annum. This was increased
in 1862 and again in 1865, until in
comes between $500 and $4,000 were
taxed at five per cnt and those above
$4,000 at ten. percent.
There were few, if any evasions
of the tax according to financial his
torians, and in 1865, despite the fact
that the entire country was in an
abnormal condition because of the war
$32.O50,0O was realized by that means.
But the spirit displayed by the patriots
of that day in meeting the obligations
of the income tax, is but typical of
the willingness which all of the people
of the country showed during that
sad period. to rise to the emergency
in the matter of shouldering the
burden Of extra taxation.
A foreign minister, noting this
zeal remarked to Secretary Seward
81 am not surprised to see your young
men rushing enthusiastically to fight
for their flag. have seen that in
other countries. But l have never be-
fore seen a country where the people
are clamorous for taxation"
This clamor for taxation on the
part of the people was largely due
to the fact that at the beginning of
the war Congress seemed to delay
when came to the question of properly
financing the struggle A new tariff
law-the Morrill, bill-which had
been framed during the peaceful days
of 1860, was enacted March 2.1S61.
and while the revenue derived from
it would have been adequate had the
commerce of the nation remained in
a normal condition, it was entirely
inadequate when the commerce be-
came disrupted.
Secretary Chase of the Treasury
rather thought no extraordinary taxa
tion was needed beyond that neces-
sary to meet the interest on the new
loans authorized and to reduce a small
part of the debt annually. His tax
recommendation of December, 1861.
was intended to yield only a small
fraction of the amount expected from
the loans, but he did ask for internal
revenue duties in January, 1862, Con
gress adopted a more determind pol
icy and announced its intention to
enact a revenue measure which would
yield $15OO0O,OOO annually.
The Principle of this measure was
to levy moderate duties upon a large
number of commodities rather than
heavy duties upon few. 1t included
rates upon luxuries represented by
spirits, ales, beer and tobacco; liccen,
ses upon occupation. duties upon
manufactures or products, auction
sales, carriages, yackts, billiard tables

Plea Is Made For
Student Nurses

Surgeon General w. c. Gorgas. of
the United States army, has issued
the following statement to the young
women of the country in relation to
the nursing campaign. which in Colo
RADIO is being conducted by the Wo-
mans Council of Defense, and in
Crowley county under the direction of
Mrs. VIM. Broadbent, the county
chairman of the county council:
II want every young woman in
the country, every woman between
nineteen and thirty-five. to read care
fully what l have to say, and TO give
which every girl ought to welcome
help the nation.
THE army and the country face a
shortage of nurses.
THE army alone will require some
thing like twenty-five thousand nurs-
es by the first of next January
We have secured about thirteen
thousand more. We have got to have
them or the army will run short
and this would be an outcome in
credible and intolerable to the Ameri-
can people.
"Only graduate nurses who have
been thru the full course of training
are available for this high service.
These nurses have to be taken out
of the hospitals and from care of
the sick at home. This means that
when we recruit our full quota for
the army, their places in the civil
communities must be filed. Hence
this call for student nurses-to fill
the vacancies, prepare. for profess
sional service. and meanwhile to
make 1t possible for our hospitals
both civil and military. to carry on
and for the American people to hold
the health standards of the country
as high as they have ever been held
in times of peace.
"If l were young woman and
wanted to do my country the greatest
service in my power, l should go at
once to the nearest recruiting station
of the Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense and en-
roll in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve. This enrolment
would at once make me a candidate
for the Army Nursing School or for
one of the civilian training schools
for nurses. I cannot conceive of 8
more valuable service, more wo
manly service. l can give every cir
who enrolls in the Reserve my per,
sonal assurance that she is making
herself count, and l should be asham.

Building Need Not
Halt Says Contractor

j. H. Peck, local contractor, is not
the least pesimistic about building
operations thruout the country dur
ing the war. He states that the only.
or principal thing at least. is for
those building to use the abundance
of material which they can secure
and not use certain things which are
either hard to get or which the gov
eminent wants for war purposes.
"The question of brick" says Mr..
Peck, 'is no reason for building
operations of any kind to be deferred.
Brick material is plentiful, but brick
is hard to get merely because the
government allots the amount of fuel
the brick factories may use and this
of course cuts down the brick sup
ply. But why use brick" he asks,
when a great many of the buildings
can almost wholly be erected from
a building material just as good and
in many respects better"
Mr. Peck's reference to a material
to substitute brick is cement brick
and cement blocks. "If cement brick
are made right and made with the
right kind of machine" he says,
they are every bit as good as the
other kind. Except for building fronts
and certain facing brick can be done
away with and cement brick made
right at home. This would put into
use considerable of our own material
which we have in the raw state.
LAS for steel to be used in build
/ ing structures" continued Mr.. Peck.
that can be readily handled. Even
had the government not taken steps
to discourage the use of steel in
buildings. there was getting to be a
good many methods used which did
awav with the steel on the average
smaller structure. 1t would be sur
prising to know to what extent build
ing operations can go on without in
terferring with wartime needs" In
reference to steel. however, Mr.. Peck
stated that he had just received a
letter from big concern stating that
they were in a position to supply all
the steel for buildings that he might
need. and added, "send in your or
ders.''
