There is marked shortage In New
Zealand in the paper supply covering prac-
ticany all lines. and especially common
print and book papers. This is compelling
some publications to cease and curtaliing
many others.

come mere units. War cannot be fought
with weapons alone; propaganda is
necessary"
The publication Of such views in
Germany at this time Is certainly sig
niflcant. II war , is an infectious
psychic state, 1t seems to follow that
peace may be equally manifesto
ton Of mental suggestion. The In.
ference Is not stated In the book, but
in view of the political and military
situation the peace. suggestion Is very
thlnly yelled.
The publication Of such n persua.
sive argument in Germany Is GER
tainly first hand evidence of an In.
ternal change which will probably
soon be seen In other directions. 1t
is one more sign that the war cpl
demic in. Germany Is subsidlng and
that peace epidemic Is invading
the mind of the nation.

Special Despatch TO TEE sus.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Republicans
with clubs hidden In their sleeves Joined
with the Democrats in the House to-
day In passing the most recent corrupt
act The club will be kept UP the MI
nority sleeve until Congress shows a
Republican majority, when It will be
brought out.
With tho bill passed to-day--it has
been passed by the Senate--it Is made
a Federal offence to promise. offer or
give or cause to be promised, offered
or given any money or other thing OF
value" to any one either to make him
vote or withhold his vote or to vote for
or against any candidate for Congress.
A penalty Of $1,000 or a year In Jail or
both is provided.
G. o. r. to Turn Tables.
1t is the intention of the Republicans
when their present minority becomes a
majority in Congress--and that is ex-
pected-to make a few highly important
amendments to the act They intend to
make II an offence to prevent quail
fed man or woman from casting his
vote.
The effect will be that many in the
Southern delegation in Congress will be
retired.
For Instance. in one district in Mis-
sissippi the Representative Is elected
every two years by a vote of about
1900 because about 100000 negroes are
In his district and practically only a
sprinkling Of white men. The many
negroes who meet all Of the educational
tax and property qualifications for
voters there thus far have been unable
to cast votes because OF the use Of
double barrelled shotguns to keep the
vote pure white.
The act was intended as a sort Of slap
at the Republican party. but Representa-
tive Good Qowa) turned things around
quite a bit before the bill was acted on
He began his speech by referring to a
letter he recently had printed In the
Congressional Record written by the
secretary OF the Iowa Democratic Club
| to a postmistress in Mr. Goods district
Letter In Accusation.
THE letter said in SO many words
You owe us $50 and you must pay.
That was in violation OF the criminal
code which imposes a fine Of $1,000 and
Imprisonment for one or two years OF
both for such an offence" said Mr.. Good
THAT letter is in my possession. I,

tiers and other public officials in violation

That letter states that that committee
Is turning over to the Democratic Ma
tionla Committee $130,o00 a year, and

There have been no prosecutions for

THE COST PLUS SYSTEM.
why the Contractor Docs Not Want
to Spend Too Much.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sn: i
notice in THE SUN a letter by ~. c. D.
In which he states that the cost plus
10 per cent" basis on which the Gov
eminent Is giving out many OF its ship
contracts wastes public money. as
ina nufacturer naturally wants the arti-
Gle TO cost as much as possible. for the
greater the cost the more his ~ per
cent. profit comes to-"
~. C. D." evidently cannot be famil-
lar with the cost plus 10 per cent"
contracts. as the tendencyls absolutely
opposite to that which hs describes.
For arguments sake We will say that
the Government estimates the cost OF
q destroyer as s1,500.o00. and gives the
contract on the cost plus 10 per cent.
basis. II the destroyer. when built. Is
found to have cost s1.s0o,000, the ship
company receives the total cost, which
is no gain to them az the material is
checked UP piece by piece by navy ON
cials during the ships construction, plus
10 per cent. OF the $1,so0.OOo, or $780,
900.
on Inc OtHeE udHu, IL thS ocstAosS'
cost but s1.so0,0Oo. the ship company
receives the cost plus 10 per cent. OF
the estimated cost ($1.5e0, o0o), and fur
thermore. the difference between the
actual cost and the estimated cost
t$2Oo. 0e0) as a bonus.
In other words, IL the company builds
the destroyer for s1.Soo.o0o its profits
are $3.50, 200. but II It builds 1t for II, :
300, 900 the profits are s33o,Ooo. or nearly
twice as much.
Therefore It Is naturally to the build
er's advantage to make the article cost
as little az possible, for the moro proh'
to him and less expense to the Gov
eminent.
~. C. D." should become more IA
miliar with his facts before he makes
any such rash statements as wasting
OF public money" " c. II.

and eighty from the United States at
large, twenty of whom were to be
recommended by the President rs
honor graduates from military insti-
tutions. Provisions were also made
for appointments from the National
Guard and the Regular Army. It
was planned that the corps of cadets
would thus be increased from $50,
its size at that time, to 100 or
800, and that between 200 and 300
cadets would be brought into active
service each year.
The. present plan will Increase
even this number. The War De-
partment expects that West Point
will furnish TO the army at least
] 900 well trained officers a year for
the duration Of the war. Through
the shortening Of the course the
purely cultural studies will be ellmi-
mated md the time will be devoted
entirely to subjects specifically mill
tary. The training will he Intensive,
MS will also be the instruction; the
work will be harder for the cadets
as well as the instructors. The ca
diets will have the unusual advan-
tage Of practical instruction In the
most modern methods of warfare
from the men who have had actual
experience on the battlefield. There
Is, too. an Inspiration to excellence
In the deeds OF their immediate pre-
decessors in the service.
The present plan Is the result of
the abnormal demand for thoroughly
trained officers. Despite his fewer
days at the Academy. Young America
will meet this demand efficiently and
ably equipped for his duties.

FARMERS ARE HARD HIT


WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. - The Senate
Committee on Finance. working under
high pressure and filled with resentment
that their course Of thoroughness and
close attention to the $4,000, 900, 900 tax
bill should have been charged as delay
made to-day a material change in the
provisions governing returns OF Income
tax payers Hereafter. IL the change is
sustained by the Senate and accepted by
the House, all married men living with
their wives shall make income tax re-
turns II their gross income exceeds
$4,000 and all unmarried men o. mar
ried men not living with their wives shall
make return II their gross income ex-
ceeds $1,000. The bill as drafted by ire
House and the existing law took into
consideration only SUCH prospective in
come tax payers whose net returns ex.
ceeded figures given.
The change proposed by the Senate
will increase the number Of income tax
returns under the new law. 1t Will en-
compass a vast class or earners in in
dustry whose gross incomes exceed the
$1,000 or the $4,000 exemption, but who
by reason of numerous permissible de-
ductions have not been forced to make
any returns.

Rural Districts Hit.

Farmers in particular will be hit by
the new provision. 1t is the committees
belief that a material increase in the
gross amount of revenue return from the
income tax can be effected If broader
requirement Is written into the law and
thereby a broader opportunity for
scrutiny for returns is furnished the In
ternal revenue bureau.
The comm1ttee Is now enmeshed in tho
most highly technical portion of the In
come tax law. 1t ploughed through the
maze of technical paragraphs and wrote
In scores of minor changes.
In addition to providing for the gross
income to be the basis of the return for
individuals, the committee also provided
that fiduciaries shall be governed BY the
same regulation and the fiduciary shall
make return in accordance with the
gross income Of the estate or trust.
The change wrought yesterday in 70
gard to the deductions for amortization
Of the property Of individuals under
which the % per cent. maximum rate Of
allowance for depletion was removed for
individuals was extended to day to cover

The provision affecting individuals

chase OF non-taXabe securities (e%cert
Liberty bonds) was extended to cover

When American soldiers, blinded in
battle, recover from their impedate
wounds at the base hospitals IN France
special work for them is commenced.
Later they are brought to the United
States Military General Hospital No.
z, at Baltimore, for further medical
and surgical treatment and special
