PRINTS PRIMER ON
EXCESS PROFITS
Bureau of Internal Revenue
to Distribute Thousands of
Copies on Tax.
URGES PROMPT RETURNS

For the information and assistance of
taxpayers the bureau of internal revenue
has had printed thousands of copies of an
excess profits tax primer for distribution
by collectors of internal revenue. The
primer contains fifty-one typical questions
and answers covering every phase of the
excess profits law. A careful reading of
the pamphlet will render considerably less
difficult the fling of an excess profits
return.
The excess profits tax is an income tax
in addition to the regular income taxes
provided for by the act Of September S.
1916. and the war revenue act of october
3. 1917. 1t is more than a tax on war
profits as it reaches all income in excess
Of stipulated normal deduction.
The tax falls into two classes:
I. An per cent tax imposed by sec
ton 2o9 upon trades or businesses having
no invested capital or merely a nominal
capital. This includes doctors. lawyers
and professional or salaried persons in

DAVIES FOR SENATOR.

AS the News pointed out the other
day in an article the selection of Hon.
Joseph E. Davies as United States
senator from Wisconsin to succeed
the late Senator Husting would not
only be gratifying to his many friends
in this section Of the state where he
was born and reared but would be
welcomed by men of both the big po-
litical parties as unfolding the admin
-lstration in its conduct of the war and
placing in the senate patriotic citi-
zen who could be relied upon in any
emergency that might arrive. He
would be in direct contrast to the
present senator from Wisconsin whose
attitude in that body has been the sub
ject of justifable censure and repudi-
alton by the people of Wisconsin. 80
If Mr.. Davies be selected as the SEN
atorial standard bearer he will receive
the almost solid support of the demo-
Gratis and republicans Local repub-
licans have expressed themselves as
we'll satisfied with his choice at this
time. That he would be opposed by the
socialists and La Toilette followers
seems assured, but there would be but
one result-the election of Mr.. Davies.

Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder fav-
ors increasing the draft age to As
years. If this goes into effect it will
include many men not now available.
The draft of the older men should be
mainly for skilled war labor, but also
10 distribute the burdens of the war.
There are plenty of young men for the
hrst line fighting, Crowder has shown,
but he also points out there is a dan
ger OF "injuring he coming genera
ton" by taking away too many of the
progressively patriotic young men"
Out of the 1858, 249 men between the
ages of 81 and As, Crowder estimates
3,525,472 are unmarried and that 80
per cent Of the latter figure, or 1885,
800, would be accepted for service
All men for the war armies still to
be raised by the United States will
come from class one under the new
selective service plan That means
the nations fighting is to be done by
young men without families dependent
upon their labor for support and I'M
skilled in necessary industrial or ag-
ricultural work.

Band on Meat Partly Raised.

Temporary suspension of the meat
less meal and of the special restric.
tions against the use of pork on Satur-
day was announced by the Food Ad-
ministration as readjustment of its
food conservation programme. In
creased meat production and the ne
cessity for still greater saving in
wheat, it was declared, make the
change advisable. The suspension is
made effective for an indefinite period,
and it probably will last for three
months or longer. Since all restric-
lions on consumption of mutton and
lamb had been lifted previously, the
Food Administration now asks the
public for the time being to deny It
self in meats only beef and pork on
one day week-Tuesday. Increased
meat consumption, Food Adminlstra-
tlon officials believe, will of itself cur
tail the use of wheat and for the pres
ent there is no intention to add to the
restrictions already in force against
the use of flour.

less the people would be willing to be
taxed heavily for it. My opinion has
been entirely changed in a day. If
any intelligent man in Adair county
will make trip from Campton juno
tion on the L. & N Railroad to
Campton, the County seat of Wolfe
county, he will be absolutely convinc-
ed in my opinion that railroad is
very practical proposition for Adair
county. The road of which 1 speak
is the Mountain Central and it be
longs to Mr.. Floyd Day, of Winches,
ter, KY. 1t is narrow guage road
the kind l think most practical for
Adair county. Mr. Day might be in
duced to build one from Columbia to
Campbellsville or Greensburg or if he
did not promote it he might give very
valuable suggestions and advice on
the subject. Mr.. Geo. W. Harden,
Johnson City, Tenn, Vice President
of the narrow guage road from John
son City to Pineola, N. c., might also
give valuable suggestions. The
Mountain Central r. R., runs through
123 miles of the most barren noun
famous country ever saw. 1t makes
two or three Y's in climbing a long
mountain. 1t has been IN operation
ten or twelve years and certainly pays
or Mr.. Day would not continue to op-
crate it. 1t charges cents a mile
passenger fare, but it is better to pay
6 cents per mile than to have no rail
road. In my opinion the traffic would
be five or six times as much in Adair
county and the cost of building the
road should be fifty per cent. less and
should cost much less to operate it

There is a tomato canning factory

An Estimable Lady Dies.

We desire to extend our sympathy
to Mr.. J. M. Howell, of Greensburg,
who lost his beloved wife Sunday
night Of last week. She had been an
invalid for more than a year, every
effort being made by noted physicians
who lived in the cities to restore her
to health. She was a woman of Low.
able disposition, one who will be great
ly missed by the residents of Green's
burg. This is the greatest sorrow
that ever came into the life of the
devoted husband The four small
children left, God bless and protect
them They should be taught to re-
member the loving admonitions of
their dear mother, and when old
enough to understand. guide them
into paths of rectitute, ever keeping
before them the goodness of their
heavenly Father. After a while when
they will enter the potals of the cell
estrial city they will meet their dear
mother and will be made to under
stand.
Before her marriage Mrs. Howell
was Miss Leachman.
