WAR REVENUE BILL
TO Be ENFORCED
Great Variety of Taxa
ton to go Into Ef-
feet May First
DIFFERENT TITLES

On May first a great variety of
federal taxation goes into effect
| under the new war revenue bill.
| This bill reaches into every busi-
ness and touches nearly every article
of merchandise used by man or wo-
man. 1t takes up under titles the
following departments: Income tax,
war profits and excess profits tax,
estate tax, on transportation and
other facilities, on insurance, cigars
and tobacco, excise tax on automo-
biles, tires, firearms and general mer-
chandise; on admissions and dues
with respect to associations and
amusements; special taxes and stamp
taxes; on employment of child labor.
According to their quality, cigars
will be taxed at rate per thousand
of from $3.50 to 1920. A 10 cent
cigar will cost just about cent
more, that is, l cents. Tobacco and
cigarets come in for their full share.
A tax of 10 per cent will fall upon
all admissions to theaters or other
places of amusement. Members of
a social, athletic or sporting club or
organization will pay 10 per cent of
their dues, if the dues amount to
more than $40; this includes initia-
tion fees. Organizations operating
on the fraternal lodge order are ex-
empt.
Excise Tax
This is the one that interests
everybody. 1t is section 900 and
reads:
That there shall be levied, as
sessed, collected and paid upon the
following articles sold or leased by
The manufacturer, producer or i'm
porter, a tax equivalent to the fol-
lowing percentage of the price for

handise:

BOLSHEVIK
BY J. w. T. Mason
Continued from Page ~
lWritten for the United Pc,

written for the United Press.)
Now York, April 12.-No present
danger threatens the American troops
along the Archangel front while they
continue fighting on the defensive.
The b0lsnevik army confronting the
Americans is far from its base and is
showing no eagerness to develop a per-
sistent offensive. 1t is engaged in moth
ing more serious than harassing tactics
not far removed from guerilla warfare.
The bolsheviki are more Intent upon de-
stroying the morale of the enemy by DO.
%litical propaganda than by MAJOR mill
tary strategy. If the bolshevikl had
skillful military leadership at their dis
posal and if they were intent on a rig
orous campaign, the situation facing the
Americans might become alarming. But
throughout the winter months the boil
sheviki have been reluctant to risk their
livesto recapture Archangel though they
haveoutnumbered the Americans.
Ice Blocks Retreat.
The American retreat has been block
ed at Archangel by the fact that the
harbOr was icebound. But, if necessary,
the Americans ean escape westward in
to the Murmansk district. The port Of
Kola in the Murmansk area is lce-free
the year around. 1t is now in the pos
session Of the British. A railway CON
structed during the war runs avutnrast-
ward from Kola. This railway Is ABOUT
$50 miles west of the American Arch
angel front. Once astride the fsllua
the Americans could join forces with
the British who are now being rein
forced by troops from England. A re-
tirement of this nature would find the
Americans leaving behind much of their
material and stores at Archangel. This
doubtless will not be done except as a
last resort. No crisis has yet arisen
south Of Archangel of sufficient gray
ity to warrant such action being taken.
Instead, the present outlook ~indicates
that the Americans can p-vpau-y hold
their positions for two months longer
when A~rehangel will be sufficiently
free from ice to permit transports to
enter the harbor. The troops can then
be embarked and all the stores saved
and the unfortunate expedition will be
able to come home.

which the foreign office is prepared to
dispute, prisoner questions, the block
ade, the Polish boundary, but which
are regarded more in The light Of pro-
tests rather than fundamentals, though
the Polish boundary question worrier
Germany extremely. The series or pro-
tests both from the foreign office and
the armistice commission are considered
part of the game of saving as much as
possible. A. .e
These claims and this policy on the
part Of the Germans, carried out by
and through the foreign office, may be
termed either "imperialistic," or
simply "'selfish." IL will depend upon
the point Of view you have. II you
look at it from the entente perspective
and feel that the Germans expect to
get everything they claim, which could
hardly be more if they had won the
war, you undoubtedly will term the
claims "imperialistic."
On the other hand, after talking to
members Of the foreign office, you find
that even they do not expect to get
what they are demanding nor do not
anticipate results from Their protests.
They feel that they are doing the only
thing possible to save something pos
sible for their country. They do not
feel that they are imperialistic, and
feel their claims are purely defensive.
From this point Of view it is selfish.
Every condition forced upon Germany
is take bitterly, and the motives Of the
entente are mistrusted in the extreme.
An incident in the foreign office after
the renewal Of the February armistiee
will illustrate the feeling. A group of
secretaries were e~xpostulating against
the h%arshness Of the terms, and tfter
arguing the various motives, asked an
American present if be thought the

terms were hard and what the entente
wanted to do with Germany.
81 suppose the entente wants to make
Germany modest" he replied.
"DOn't you think VIC Gre modesto"
they asked in surprise.
Frankly, no, / don T." said the Am.
%erican. The answer caused great amaze
ment among the Germans.
In this connection II is interesting to
note that few Germans believe they
were defeated militarily. Invariably
you ere corrected, if you make a break
by mentioning "thc defeat Of the Ger
man armies" and you ere put right
in the following light: Germany quit
because she accepted the fourteen points
of President Wilson and because she
was hungry, and because there wa a
change in the spirit of the people, or
rather the pacifists got into power and
threw out the militarists. But the arm
les were not defeated, say the Germans.
Germans argue, therefore, that they
should make peace on a basis OF equal
ity, and sly their present d%efenseless
position is due to the idealism with
which they disbaBded their armies, feel.
ing the entente would do the same.
When you first hear this line Of reas-
Oning you are inclined to thing it is a
bluff. But the constant REPETITION by
intelligent men and women finally con
vinces you that the German people be-
lieve they were indicated in the field,
and they think they are in their pres
ent predicament because the entente
was not faithful to the armistiee terms.

that the first armistiee was signed on

whose army had collapsed. or the pub

of the plant would be sl3,7S The
Pacific Telephone company now has
2719 subscribers but MIR. Busselle fig
ured that the municipal telephone would
not OILY ret all of these but enough
more to make the $500.
Figures were presented BY ar. Bus
Selle showing that the construction cost
per telephone as installed by the Pa
eifie Telephone & Telegraph company
in Salem was sl06, while the Independ-
ent company at La Grande installed for
ST, the home company at McMinnville
for S64, the Albany Home Telephone
company for sol, Home Newberg com
pany for $55, and the Corvallis indie
pendent company for S3S.
The claim of Mr.. Busselle was that
if Salem would put in 5000, 900 on a
municipal telephone company, that the
present rates could be reduced, which
would be a material reduction from
what the people are likely to get by the
time the public service commission
makes its decision on the increased
rates now asked by the Pacific tele.
phone company for its Salem service.
The telephone company in Salem claims
it is losing money, something over 8 per
cent on its investment.
At the next meeting of the city eoun.
ell the whole matter will come up for
discussion and if the city fathers are
inclined to favor a municipal telephone
and the issuing Of 5000, 900 city bonds
with which to install a municipal plant,
the voters will be given an oppOrtun,
ity to finally decide the question.
