When we left Texas he said he was

as soon as he could get permission
this morning he went over to the "Y'

While coming up, the first state
we hit which showed real patriotism
was 0hio-no, 1t was Indiana, when
we crossed the Mason and Dixon line
ct Louisville, KY, and the Ohio riv-
er. After that we were in the United
States. One of the songs OF the SOL
diers always love to sing is My In
diana Home" and Of all the states, in
the Union like It the best-better
than Oregon, perhaps.
1t is the greatest agricultural state
we passed through. Oats and corn
are the chief products and there
were thousands and thousands OF
acres OF each. The prettiest corn
saw along the road, even and green.
The same way with oats. One side of
the road would be oats in the bundle
While across the way in another field
they were as green as grass.
In each and every town and little

Dear Folks:
Now at Long Island, y. Y. Who
ever thought year ago that would
ever see New York City. See It? No,
net exactly. Just viewed 1t is all.
We came in on the west side of the
city yesterday afternoon and took a
ferry around the city from the Hud-
son river over and across the Long
Island Sound, and then took a train
which brought us over here to camp.
Arrived late, had supper at 10:3O
and went to bed at 1880.
What saw Of New York was rath-
er beautiful in a way. There was a
great deal of smoke and mist, and the
sun shining through this gave the
buildings a sort of golden color. and
10 gaze upon the towering buildings
for miles and miles was all very won
derful to me. The great Woolwortr
building. Metropolitan and Statue of
Liberty attracted my attention. +
didn't, however, get to see as well az
| should have liked to as had 70
stand guard all the way on the boat
If remain here long enough | am
going to really see the city, then I
shall write you all about it.
One of my good friends, George A.
Marsh, who had been a good tent
mate of mine ever since left quaran-
tine in Camp Kelly, and who was n
good friend of mine while there two
weeks, asked me a long while ago
when showing me some pictures of
mis- folks, to go home with him IL he |

change the relative situations.
The German government has drain.
ed the German people of their gold,
even their jewels and hcirlooms, and
yet the Imperial bank of Germany
COW has but little over $4,000, 900
OF gold in its vaults.
The United States has made no
special effort to obtain gold, has
made no call upon the people for
the precious metal, and yet today has
in its treasury vaults practically
81 100000 of gold coin and bull
lion.

CARROLL

Mrs. c. T. Payne of this city re-
ceived the following interesting let
ters recently from her son, Homer,
who is with the SIND aero squadron.
He is now stationed at Hampstead

Dear Mother and All:
We are speeding northeast. You.

but can't say in this letter. II Is
i1:45 and We only had breakfast
half hour ago. We came through
Louisiana yesterday afternoon and
last night. The country along the
way was real pretty. Dense forests
of cypress and underground higher
than the telegraph posts. 1t GER
tainly is fine sight after being in
Texas so long. The southeastern
part is good because there is plenty
of water to keep the fields green.
We crossed the Mississippi river on
a ferry at Baton Rouge, the capital of
Louisiana. We got off the train and
were welcomed by the citizens. The
tanteen girls were fine to us and
treated us to post cards, gum and Gig
arettes and soda pop. The canteen is
on the lawn at the foot of the ridge
on which stands the state capitol
building.
About two hours after leaving we
we're transferred from chair cars to
Pullmans. There are 600 men of us
on the train in four different squad.

We had had only three or four houfsi

DEFECTS IN THE INCOME
TAX LAWS

In The Intelligencer's news columns
today appears a synopsis OF an e3'
tremelr interesting discussion OF the
income and excess profits tax law.
nrenared by Hon. NJ. e. Spery Of
Clarksburg. Mr.. Sperry Is a Ver5
able attorney. possessed OF keen ana
lytical mind, and his dissection OF the
absurdities and contradictions OF the
excess profits law is particularly in'
teresting. Mr.. Sperry's constructive
suggestion that the tax ralSerS go
back OF the corporations 70 the lndi-
yidual stockholders approaches equity,
but The Intelligeucer fears thar II Is
almost unavoidable. TO require
stakeholder TO pay in cash large taa
on his proportionate share ot excess
nrofitS, which have not been diStrlb-
uted. is clearly impossible. To burden
the individual shares appearing on the
books Of the corporations with claims
that in the nature Of things would
have to be carried for years. would
be provocative OF endless confusion.
In the judgment OF The lntelli-
gencer. constructive suggestions being
in order. The present income and OK
cess profits laws would be greatly lin
proved by three things;
First, a sharp increase in the in
come tax rae on individuals, and eI-
ira impoSitions on incomes derived
from fixed Investments. over and
above the rate on incomes derived
from labor or from salaries
Second. reduced rates on the in
comes OF corporations as whole. and
particularly on those portions OF the
income retained for necessary de~el-
opment Of business.
Third. heavy tax on all corpora
ton income net distributed 70 stocn-
holders and not needed for legitimate
business development.
These principles. written into our
tax legislation. would bear far more
equitably and justly on Tho great body
Of income tax payers. by reaching
the individuals tbt government will 20
directly 10 ,hr ultimate beneticiarleS

on incomes no. derived from labor. a

steel, FOR WAR WORK

II is estimats! that At the present
time the demands of the government
take 90 per cent OF the entire steel
output OF tha country. or this small
measure that does not find its way di-
rectly into war material. probably a
great part is in some manner used for
war work. 40 other grca; industry in
lhs country is so completely occupied
with war making. The greater part
OF The food We Grow Is consumed at
home. in spite, OF the heavy demands
from our Allies, and the immense
shipments abroad. Our coal goes into
a thousand uses, having TO do with tho
comfort and daily lives OF the people.
Steel production. on the other hand,
is almost exclusively for war work,
ami most Of the material from the
mills goes directly TO either the army
or the navy.
In \ s~nS.. therefore, tn" workers
in the iron and steel mills can per-
Sunallv fool themselves little nearer
TO and little more closely Identified
with the great world WAT. than work
i,rS in other lines. The hungry can
non are waiting fer the shells that are
being made now. Our trained avia-
tors are waiting for the airShipS that
are being built. The great steel fleet
is calling for the plates and beams
that are now beng rolled. The win
ming Of this war rests on all America

work can afford 10 be a Stacker. bat
