BELGIAN FUNERAL
NOTICE Of KAISER

Los ANGELES, Calf. Dec. %
Residents of the city of Client, Bel

the former German kaiser. Satire has

great relief of humanity.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.
(By Cong. P. D. Norton.)
New Revenue Ri11

washington, ID. C., Sept. 12.-The
House has had under consideration
the past week the new Revenue Bill.
BY this measure it is proposed to
raise, during the present fiscal year,
eight billions of dollars to meet part
of this years war expenses. The
Government, it is estimated, will ex-
pend, during the present year, for war
purposes, about twenty four billions
of dollars. The difference between the
amount to be raised by the new rev.
enue bill and the amount to be ex-
pended, will be issued through the is
sue and sale of government bonds. It
will thus be seen that the Admins
tration plans to issue and sell, during
the present fiscal year, sixteen billion
dollars of bonds. Some idea of the
magnitude Of eight billion dollars may
be gained when it is recalled that the
entire cost of the Civil War to both
the North and the South, during the
four years it was carried on, amount
ed to less than six billions of dollars.
Twenty-four billions of dollars rep
resents considerably more than one
half the value of all the farm prop
erty, both real and personal, includ-
ing live stock and machinery, used on
farms in the whole United States.
The new revenue bill has been largely
framed upon the sound principle of
taxing those heaviest who can most
easily bear the burden of taxation.
This principle is we'll illustrated in the
income tax provision of the BILL On
the income of a married person whose
net income is $5,000.O0, the rate Of
taxation is $50 per cent. On SINH
lar income of $50,00000, the rate Of
taxation is 2499 per cent, and on an
income of $5OO,OOOOO, it is 5942
per cent. In comparison, under exist
ing laws in England, the income tax
rates are, on incomes of $5,00O.OO, Is
per cent, on incomes of 100000,
41.88 per cent, and on incomes Of
500, 100000, 51.44 per cent. Never be-
fore in the history of all time has any
raise by taxation in single year any
such enormous sum as eight billions
of dollars. The wonder, pride and
glory of it all is that in this land of
free people, this vast amount will be
raised through taxation cheerfully,
without any great difficulty, and
without being heavily burdensome on
any Individual citizen. This stupen-
dous amount of money will be contrib
uted to the war chest of the nation
with fullness and readiness of heart
by rich and poor alike to carry on to
success the great conflict in which we
are engaged and which will terminate
only when the power of autocratic and
monarchial governments is crushed
and destroyed.
Amedment to Bond Bill.
On recommendation of the President
and the Treasury Department, bill
amending the Liberty Loan Bond bill
and designed to stimulate the sale Of
Liberty Loan Bonds, was passed by

JOHN RASMUSSEN.

Co4A4S NfAoNA -
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Rasmus-
sen of this city who was reported kill
ed in action probably in the great
Chateau Thierry fight, where the AM
orleans drove the Germans back with
such disastrous results to the Huns,
turning the tide of battle in favor of
the Allies.
Altho Mr.. Rasmussen was but 81
years of age, he showed that he had
the real American fighting qualities.
His friend, Oliver Perry, on of Mr..
and Mrs. E. C. Perry, of this city,
writes that he saw John bring in two
German prisoners himself, captured
by the plucky Minot soldier single
handed. John was reported to be
slain on the field of battle next day,
with a bullet wound thru the head.
John was engaged in scouting and
drawing maps of the territory over
which the army expected to pass, and
it is presume dthat it was while en-
gagged in this work, or else in attempt
ing to capture machine gun nest
that he gave up his life. He has made
his record, one of which any soldier
could we'll be proud. The war depart
ment has not officially reported him
dead or missing. The only news
comes from Oliver Perry, his boyhood
chum. The father, S. J. Rasmussen,
wired Washington, but the war de-
partment has heard nothing of his
death. The department wired Mr..
Rasmussen Monday that it had cabled
France and it is expected that some
thing definite will be known this week
No letter has been received from the
soldier lad since June.

L. G.. Hardie has purchased the
Soule ranch, consisting of 100 acres,
and located about eight miles north of
Towner. Mr.. Hardie takes possession
about the first of October. The con-
sideration was $4,000 including this
years crop, which is proof conclusive
that McHenry county soil is still
worth real money.
Farmers may buy a years supply
of flour after October l, now that linn
it's on quantity sales have been re-
moved, according to an announcement
made by the Federal food administra-
ton. New rulings provide that one
pound of substitute flour must la
bought with each four pounds Of
wheat flour. An exception to this
rule may be made in the case that
farmers produce certificates showing
that they have already had sufficient
substitute flours ground.
Corporal Ben Harbour, with the
Americans in France, formerly a res
ldent of Crosby, is the hero of
striking story from the war zone
Corporal Harbour led his squad of
men into clump of trees during re-
cent heavy fighting on the scissors
sector, the men climbing the trees
and from their point of vantage pick
ing off German machine gunners who
were raking valley through which
the Americans were advancing. For
his bravery, Corporal Harbour was
mentioned in the orders.
Word was received at Rugby last
week of serious auto accident which
had befallen Mrs. C. H. Sannan, of
that city and Mrs. w. J. Jennison,
while autoing from Fairview to Glen
dive, Mont. They were accompanied
by three other friends of Mrs. Jenni-
son one of whom was killed instantly
one injured about the head while one
escaped without scratch. Mrs. San
nan sustained a broken elbow and a
badly sprained foot and Mrs. Jenni-
sons jaw was broken in three places.
They were taken to the Glendive hos
pital, where they are at the present
time.
