GARAGE NOW Is
SCHOOL BUILDING

A large garage building which was
rented during the war-boom times
as an overflow school building at
Penn's Grove has had to be leased
again for the remainder OF the pres
ent school year by the Board Of
Education OF the powder town TO
provide for a surprisingly large en-
rollment~of pupils.
At the opening of the term in Sep
tsmber the schools were started with
four less teachers than year ago.
It being presumed that the large mi-
grafton Of families Of powder work
ers would greatly reduce the enroll
ment. What really has happened has
been that families forced TO leave the
temporary houses built during the
war at CSrney's Point and many Of
which have been razed this year.
have taken up residence in houses
vacated by other families In Penn's
Grove.
The result has been that the class
rooms have become overcrowded.
some of the teachers having as high
as 20 pupils under their care. The
garage building will provide four ex-
ira class rooms and this week the
Board Of Education employed three
additional teachers.

TAX DOOMED
Senate Votes to Abolish Col

CORPORATION TAX
UNDER DISCUSSION

WASHINGTON, oct 27.-Repeal
OF the excess profits tax as OF next
January first was made certain yes
terday with adoption by the Senate
without a record vote of provision
in the tax revision bill providing only
for its collection this calendar year.
The provision adopted is a substi-
tute for the excess profits section OF
the existing law.
Before accepting the original pro-
vision in the bill. the Senate voted
down, AZ TO 81. an amendment by
senator Reed. proposing that for
1921 and thereafter the excess profits
tax be twenty per cent on the net
income of corporations between Is
per cent and fifty per cent OF the
invested capital and forty per cent
on the net income in excess OF so
per cent Six Republicans joined
with the solid Democratic minority
in supporting the amendment They
we're Borah. Johnson. Kenyon, La
Toilette. Eorbeck and Norris.
The Senate also voted down 40 TO
,s3 another amendment by Senator
Reed proposing that the excess
profits tax be twenty per cent OF
The net income in excess OF fifty
per cent OF the invested capital
Eight Republicans-Borah. Capper.
Johnson. Kenyon. LaFollette. Nc
Nary. Norbeck and Norris-support-
ed this amendment, and one Demo-
crat. Glass. opposed II.
Having disposed OF the excess
profits section Of the bill. the Senate
proceeded to consideration OF the
corporation income tax section under
a unanimous consent agreement
that It would dispose today OF all
amendments TO this section except
chat offered by Senator Walsh.
Democrat, Massachusetts,. The Walsh
amendment proposes in lieu OF the
. per cent income tax on corpora
tions recommended by the fnance
committee. graduated tax as fol-
lows:
Twelve and one-half per cent on
the net income up 10 100000; IS
Der cent on the net income between
100000 and $500. 900; twenty per
cent between $4,000 and $500. 90
and rs per cent on the amount in
excess OF 100000.
A committee amendment limiting
after next January first. the $4,000
exemption now allowed corporations.
20 corporations having net income
OF $4,000 or less, was adopted
without objection on record vote.
As result OF the unanimous con-
sent agreement. the Republicans held
in abeyance their plan to force a
continuous session and the Senate
adjourned at $50 p. m. until IL a.
p. today. Majority leaders said
however, that they had not aban-
doned this plan and that the ques-
1on OF putting II into execution
would depend on developments from
day to day.
Senator Penrose. OF Pennsylvania
in charge OF the bill. reiterated the
prediction that the measure would
be passed by the end OF this week.
He declared that the backbone OF
careless and frivolous discussion and
opposition has been broken"

THE PEOPLE PAY

Since the advent of the new ad- ministration there has been no little talk of tax revision and the excess profits tax and it's substitute now seem to have the center of the stage. It is generally agreed that the excess profits tax must go, because it is impossible to collect even a fair proportion of it.
 With the needs of the government for the coming years of still greater revenue it is proposed to levy sales tax of per cent on the sales of all business concerns. This method, ac- cording to city editors, is simplicity itself in assessment, cannot be evaded to any extent worth mention ing and would provide a steady in- come for the government that could be relied upon. That sounds fine for the government---but how will it affect the poorer class of people?
 We are not familiar enough with the working of this proposed tax to state it's effect upon the individual, but according to former Secretary of the Treasury Houston, the per cent of taxation borne by the work ing people would be more than doubled. The New York World states that even if this sales tax was pyramided along to the consumer, retail prices would be increased only 39q6 at the most.
 Regardless of who is right or wrong, the government needs money, lots of money, and it is going to get it. The people will provide it; some more, some less. In either case it will make little difference hundred years from now.

JUSTICE OR LAW

The case against Samuel A. Her man for subordination to perjury, has attracted state wide attention. It was concluded on Friday afternoon when the jury failed to agree and even though the case should not be reopened there is bound to remain a certain stigma against the good name of MT. Herman. It was unfortunate indeed that the jury disagreed.
 While the case itself was an un- usual one in this state, the outcome is only similar to that in many other cases. Many times have we followed the proceedings of various cases and it has seemed that justice was super seded by law.
 Since early boyhood we have known Mir. Herman as an attorney and as man. We believe he is innocent of the charges brought against him and trust that tLe time will come when he can prove it to the people at large.

TWELVE-CENT EGGS

That was a fine story from Win sted about the 12 cent eggs people enjoyed some 120' years ago, but it loses it's flavor somewhat when we read further that then laborer got only 57 cents for ten or 12 hour day. Then a man worked ten hours or more for five dozen eggs, while today he can earn 10 dozen eggs !n eight hours, with time and one half for overtime. -Pittsfeld Eagle.
