CANNOT DRAFT LABOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. -
Officers of the United States en-
ployment service state that no
affiliated board has the power to
draft unskilled labor in the re-
cruiting for war work.
1t is stated that "the United
States employment service is not
purposing to use any form of
compulsion in such recruiting 9TH
er than the appeal to the pa
triotism of the worker and the
employer"
No board connected with the
employment service can order
worker to cease employment in
non-essential industry.
The power to close up non-es-
sential industries rests with the
war industries board which has
the authority to shut off sup
plies to any of these concerns.

Do YOU READ THE
THE CASUALTY LISTS

How do you read the casualty
lists?
Do you begin at the top, turn
to the right hand column and scan
the heroes by home towns. Or do
you look at the names, and, meet
ing a familiar one, look to the ad-
dress to see if it is the boy you
know; and, if it is, then read the
subhead to see his fate?
Perhaps you start with the slight
~ wounded and read up to the deep
err tragedies where you glance gin
gerly as on dangerous ground hop
ing and full of faith that none of the
names there will bring you face
to face with a supreme sacrifice
made by one close and dear tc

When the list has been reaC

WAR PROFITS TAX AND
EXCESS PROFITS TAX

"By a war-profts tax we mean a
ak upon profits in excess of those
realized before the war.
'By an excess profits tax we mean
a tax upon profits in excess of a
given return upon capital.
"The theory of a war-profits tax
is to tax profits due to the war.
"The theory of an profits
tax is to tax profits over and above
a given return on capital. The ex-
cess profits tax falls less heavily
on big business than on small bust
ness because big business is gen.
orally overcapitalzed and small
lied.
"The war profits tax would tax
all war profits at one high rate;
the excess profits tax does and for
safety must tax all excess profits
at lower and graduated rates"
The above extract from Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo's tes-
tinmony before the House Ways
and Means Committee gives his diff
ferentiation between war-profits and
profits taxes and explains his
position in urging upon Congress an
excess profits tax with an alterna-
tive war-profits tax in the forth
coming revenue legislation.
To the average citizen Secretary
McAdoo's position seems we'll taken.
Most small and local corporations
are capitalized at an actual valua-
ton. Many of the very large cor
porations are greatly overcapital-
lied; the stock of some of them has
been repeatedly watered. With
only an eXcess-profits tax a cor
poration earning 10 per cent on
grossly watered capital will pay
the same tax as another corporation
not overcapitalized earning 10 per
cent on the real, actual valuation of
the money and property invested in
its business. The profits of the first
corporation might be 80 per cent
on its actual valuation, and it is
to cover such cases that war
profits tax is urged.
AS many of these large corpora
tions are engaged in Government
work and drawing huge sums from
the United States, it seems partic-
ularly just that they should pay
taxes on the same actual basis as
corporations not over-c apitalized. A
tax that taxes equally 10 per cent
profit on watered capital and a
10 per cent profit on unwatered
capital is not equal and uniform
and scarcely just

MOONEY LOSES APPEAL;
SUPREME COURT NEXT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81
For the second time the state su-
preme court has refused Thomas
j. Moneys plea that the trial
court be ordered to rehear his
case because he was convicted by
improper methods.
The court reaffirms it's posi-
ton that it can only act on the
record of case, and as the i'm
proper methods charged are not
included in the record of this
case, because they were discover
ed after Mooney was convicted,
no relief from the death penalty
is possible.
Friends of Mooney announce
that an appeal will be made to
the United States supreme court.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. -
Officials of the United States su-
preme court are quoted in local
newspaper as expressing the opin-
ion that the Mooney case cannot
reach that court unless writ of
error is granted by a supreme
court justice, acting as judge of
one of the federal circuit courts
of appeal.
In this case such a request
would go to Justice McKenna,
who represents the ninth judicial
district, which includes Califor-
MIA and other Pacific Coast states.

NEAT PRODUCTION
MUST BE INCREASED
INSTEAD OF PRICES
Demand and Growth
of Population Causes
Shortage

Washington, April 9-The new meat
commission appointed by President
Wilson at the request of Food Admin
istrator Hoover, met here today to
plunge into twin problems of inereas-
ing meat production and holding down
prices.
While prospect of actual government
operation of packing plants is beiiev-
ed to be remote,radical steps may new
ertheless result from the probe now
on.
Investigators will consider both pack
ing and livestock industries from the
point of view of meat prices, produce
ing costs, labor and shortage, transpor-
~tation difficulties, speculation and
marketing and middlemen s margins.
If meat famine in Europe and at
home is to be averted,beef and pork
production ust be boosted tremendous
ly and without delay, experts declare.
Department of agricultural officials
openly admit the meat situation is IN
satisfactory; stock men declare they
are losing money, and food administra-
ton officials concerned with distribu-
ton of prices, openly fear flights OF
retail prices that will mean no meat
for the laboring population who need
it most.
Prompt action will avert danger,
stockmem hold. Over 1000, 900 meat
animals were added to America s food
resources last year, but the number OF
cattle is still five million head short
of that ten years ago. Population
growth has leaped thirteen million and
beef exports have trebled in the de-
icade. Per capita consumption of meat
has increased. Pork exports are sixty
per cent greater than pre- wal ship
ments.
Hogs should be increased fifteen per
cent this year. Officials believe pork
is the form of meat which can be in
creased most rapidly. Depleted live
herds in allied countries growing less
with each year of wal are throwing a
constantly growing burden on Ameri'
ca. Food administration officials de-
clare that unless production is increas-
ed and marketing stabilized, meat will
be boosted out of the reach of the
masses at home because of heavy al
lied purchases.

HINDENBURC CANNOT
Continued from page One)

Within a few days Hindenburg has
haated his Amiens operations to attack
the French fifty miles southeast along
the Ailette river, and has curtailed his
efforts there to assail the British front
nearly 100 miles further north.
The old Hindenburg spirit of dog
ged pursuit along a we'll mapped out
course is no longer apparent. Harried
indecision has taken its place. Hin
tenburg' IS activities, in fact, are sug-
costing more and more the idea that
the new west front has barred him in
and he is rushing about his cage, vain
ly seeking some way Of breaking the
bars and gaining liberty of action.
In this situation ii is General Foch 3

wear himself out. Since the German
general staff seems to believe there is
still a chance of capturing Calais and
B0ulogne, it is admirable strategy for
the allies to encourage the kaiser and
add to his reputation as the extermina-
tor Of human manpower.

1y safe. The more Germans are killed

TINA H. PRATT.
Mrs. Pratt S experience has been
that of thousands of others who after
suffering untold tortures for years
and spending huge sums in doctor 8
bills and treatments without success
have at last found relief and freedom
from pain and discomfort simply BY
taking a teaspoonful of Bi-nesia in al
little hot water after meals or when
ever pain was felt. No matter how bad
your case may be-no matter how
many remedies or treatments you may
have tried-you should give Bi-nesia =
trial. Get a fifty cent package from
your druggist today and after your
next meal take a teaspoonful in a lii
tie hot water and note the freedom
from the pain that usually follows taxi
ing food. Take it the mex time you
have that terrible pain in your stom-
ach; then look at your watch and note
how quickly the pain disappears. And
best of all, remember this, if the test
fails it costs you nothing, for every
package of either powder or tablets
contains a binding guarantee of salts

IMPORTANT - The Bi-nesia mep-
toned above is a harmless but wonder
fully effective remedy which you can
make at home or any druggist can pre-
pare for you by mixing III ounces BIZ

guarantee of satisfaction or money
