WORK OR FIGHT"
rule WORKS WELL
Large Supplies of Labor Directed
From NOneSsential to Essential
Industries.

Work or fight" regulations have
been highly effective in directing la
Dor from nonessential to essential oc-
equations, according to reports that
have reached the Department of La
Dor.
Draft-board members also believe
that the regulations have had the full
result expected of them. The work
or fight" rule went into effect July l,
and large numbers of store clerks,
theater ushers, bartenders, and wait
ers were confronted with the alterna-
tive of finding employment in war
work or being indicted into the Army.
BY October, it is expected, the full
effect of the measure can be perceiy-
ed, for by that time doubtful cases
will have been cleared up and the En-
ployment Service will have had an OPP
portunity to show what it can accom-
plish.
Many clerks and others who were
thrust out of their former jobs were
really much pleased once they had
adapted themselves to the situation,
for they found larger pay awaiting
them in their new work, and con-
seriousness that they were serving the
Nation directly proved an inspiration
to service.
One problem was presented in the
case of clerks, men who were skilled
in stenography and typewriting. They
had worked indoors for many years,
and were not adapted to heavy work
in the open.
"They have been sitting at desks
and are not overstrong," draft Of
| fetal explained. at is hard to get
them work where they will earn any
where near the same amount of
money"
Another difficulty developed in some
States through laws forbidding the
employment of women in restaurants
at night. Yet walters were ruled as
holding nonproductive jobs, and the
restaurant keepers said they were I'M
able to find men above draft age to
do the work
Men were given 30 days to find new
jobs. Those who failed to find them
were allowed extensions of time, if it
was shown that they had actually
made a serious effort to obey the pro-
visions of the regulation.

Thousands See
War Trophies
On Loan Trains

The Yanks on the other side would
glow with pride II they could hear the
shouts which are greeting the two
Uncle Sans War Trophy trains
which are touring Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Kentucky carrying
trophies captured by the Yanks and
their allies from the Huns.
The trains are on tour under the
auspices of the Central Liberty Loan
Committee of the Fourth Federal Re-
serve District, and are out to stimulate
interest in Liberty Bonds.
Many Of the thousands who have
crowded about the trains this week at
their various stops in western Penn
sylvania and along the Ohio valley in
Kentucky and West Virginia were
given their first chance to actually
gaze on one of the famous French
"75s," the guns that held the Hun at
the Marine back there in the early
stages of the war when this country
was still a neutral nation.
The trains are carrying most of the
contrivances of modern warfare
aerial bombs, depth bombs, anti-air.
craft guns, trench mortars, gas masks,
etc. They also have exhibits of med
ais and uniforms and rifles taken from
Hun captives.
Each train carries on 1t siren such
as is used abroad to warn townsfolk
that the enemies airmen are coming.

REVENUES FROM
TOBACCO PRODUCTS
SHOW INCREASE
Report Of Internal Revenue Collector
Shows Great Increase in Manufac-
ture In Past Fiscal Year.

The record of the tobacco manufac-
turing industry of the United States
for the fiscal ear ended June 80, 1918,
according to figures compiled by The
Enquirer from the monthly reports of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
seems to indicate rather forcibly the
burden which the war taxes have
placed upon it. Although no material
curtailment of production was record
ed for any particular line during the
fiscal year decreases in the outputs
of large and small cigars as well as
smoking and chewing tobacco were
sufficient to show that manufacturers
were inclined to restrict their produc-
ton to the actual demand and not to
create any surplus stock. Even cigar
cites, which previously had been
showing large gains from month to
month, ranging from 20 to 40 per
cent, were not so active after the war
taxes went on last October. From
the statistics at hand there seems to
be justification for the opinion that
the new war taxes about to be i'm
posed on tobacco products of every
description will do much to curtail
the production still further. Doubt
less the Governments revenue will in
crease, but it seems scarcely possible
that it can come up to the amount
which the industry as whole is eX-
pected to produce.
The month of June, 1918, from the
Governments standpoint, was quite
satisfactory, the total internal reve-
nue. collections amounting to $14,252,-
S9S54. an increase over the CORE
spending month last year of $4,7S0,-
92247, or so per cent. The total col
lections for the entire fiscal year
amounted to $15O,4OO,O55.52, an in
crease of $4S,579,554.66, or AZ per
cent, contrasted with the preceding
fiscal year.

COTTON ESCAPES
TAXATION IN new
REVENUE BILL
Cotton Goes Without Taxation Al
though Other Products Are
Heavily Taxed.

Washington, d. c., September 81
Cotton, one of the major crops of the
United States, has escaped all taxa
ton in the new House revenue bill,
thanks to the Southern congressman,
who are able to prevent the pricipal
agricultural product from their states
paying any direct part of the war ex-
penses.
The question of taxing cotton was
raised during the discussion of the
$S,000,000,000 revenue bill by Repre-
sentative ]. Hampton Moore, of Penn
sylvania, republican member of the
Ways and Means Committee, who
made fight to include cotton in the
things to be taxed.
He suggested that as more than H.
100000 bales were produced in 1917, a
tax of $500 per bale would raise $780,,
100000 in revenue. and relieve certain
other commodities that bear a heavy
burden of taxation The motion was
beaten by a solid De.NA, ratio vote.
There is nothing personal or sec
tional in this proposition" said Mr..
Moore, in statement today,
1T is simply a question of levying
taxes equitably very much as was
suggested by President Wilson in his
address to Congress.
at does not seem fair that so much
of the $S000,0 100000 should be raised
in so few states and it does appear
from the Treasury statistics that the
three states of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and Illinois pay about so per
cent. of the total.
This is due to the fact that most
of the money raised comes from in
come, corporation and excess profits
taxes.
1.-THE taxing of cotton, while the
representatives kof the growers OBJ
! ject to it and have beaten it in all
recent legislation is not new.
Cotton has been on the protective
tariff list and also on the taxable list
1t was protected by tariff duty from
1898 to 1866. Three cents pound
was then levied against cotton i'm
ports. That helped to build up the
wonderful growth of cotton in the
United Staaes. 1t has been upon the
free list, however, since 1888.
During the Civil War and for some
time thereafter cotton was taxed at
the rate of three cents per pound, a
much higher rate than was proposed
by my amendment which the Demo
Gratis defeated"

TWO NICHOLAS COUNTY BOYS
MAKE SUPREME SACRIFICE

Carlisle, Ky, September 25-Two
golden stars adorn Nicholas county
service flag. Within the past five days
two Nicholas county boys who were
in the United States Navy have made
the supreme sacrifice. The first Mich
olas county boy to die in service of the
Government was Michael Bryan
Laughlin. at Philadelphia. Shortly
after his death was reported, Mr. and
Mrs. John Stone received a message
announcing the death of their son,
Aquillar Durham Stone. who has been
stationed at the at the Great Lakes
Naval Training station. Aqulla Stone
left Carlisle during the month of Au-
gust. A few days before his depar-
ture he married Miss Shannon. Both
of the Nicholas county boys were
members of the 1918 class of regis
trants. The bodies will be returned
to Carlisle for burial.

ACTUAL EXPENSE OF
WAR NOT So GREAT.
ECONOMIST SHOWS MONEY GOES
INTO PERMANENT
INVESTMENTS.

The actual expense of war, the
money spent for purchases which are
destroyed in the making of war, is
considerably smaller than 1t is being
reckoned by the press and the public
of the country.
Theodore H. Price, economist and
financier, explains in "The War Costs
and the War Debt" in the current
number of The Outlook, that the
United States Is better off financially
than the bare statement of war ex.
penses" would indicate.
A very large percentage Of the $780,.
000,000,000 given as our cost Of two
years of war, has gone into permanent
construction work, of which the value
will not be lost when the war is won
and the country back on a peace basis.
In speaking Of this fifty billion,
Price says: -
I'VE are not spending any such sum
for war, and much of what we are
spending is being invested in the in.
terest-bearing obligations of our allies,
and in ships, shipyards, terminals,
warehouses, railways, and other
things that will be valuable and pro
ductive long after peace is declared.
Probably we shall be well within
the mark in assuming that our in.
vestment in ships and shipyards a
hnnna will no % 81 60 mn
900, and this will not include the
enormous additions that have been
made to our navy. Then there are the
military warehouses that the War De
partment is constructing in the United
States, and the docks, warehouses
and railways that have been built in
France as In some other European
countries"
These investments, of course, will
be productive when the war is ended
and are subject only to the normal de
probation which affects any peace
time investments.
"In the case of a private corpora
ton, such investments would be
charged to capital rather than to ex
pense account, and would be reckoned
as an Offset against any resultant in
crease in liabilities" he states.
Price estimates our irrecoverable
war expenditure at only $1S,331, 702,
40, which, while a fair-siZed sum il
itself, is decidedly different from the
fifty billion we have heard about.
The result of our policy, however
OF considering the total expenditure
as dead investment, while not so en-
Notwithstanding at the time, will
undoubtedly be, believes Price, thai
the obligations Of the United States
government will be the most besough
investments in the world the momen
that their further issuance becomes
unnecessary.

LOAN RALLIES SET

HARVEST HOME. FESTIVALS TO
TAKE FORM OF BOND
REJOICING.

Harvest Home Festivals will be cele-
brated in all Of the schools of the
country this fall, at the combined re-
quest of the Treasury Department and

in a letter just received by Gov
ernor Fancher of the Fourth District
Federal Reserve Bank, L. B. Franklin,
Director Of the National War Loan Or
ganization, asks that this celebration
be made also Liberty Loan rally, and
that 1t be held on October 18th, Co.
lumbus Day.
Franklin points out that there is a
logical unity between the Columbus
Day and the Liberty Loan and that a
Harvest Home Festival is a particu.
larly appropriate form Of celebration,
when the people of a community
recount the fruits OF their summers
labor they will naturally ask them
selves what share of them they ought
to invest in Liberty Bonds" said
Franklin. when they come to real
ize what the discovery of America has
meant to them personally, what 1t has
meant for the cause of freedom and
democracy, what 1t will mean for the
salvation of the world in the present
world tragedy, when they begin tc
feei~ all this, they must Of necessity
say: This is worth investing in
worth fighting for. worth making any
sacrifice for To create this state Of
mind is the purpose of celebrating the
discovery Of America.
1T is our hope that the nationwide
celebration will stir such enthusiasm
over Americas mission in the world
as TO enable each community to reach
at Least Its quota by that day. Lei
every local community make this IL
goal and on Liberty Day announce the
achievement and rejoice over H."
