EARNINGS TAX
IN QUAKER CITY

PHILADELPHIA "A sweeping
IL per cent tax on all wages, in
comes and business earnings was
law in Philadelphia today.
The drastic levy, believed one
Of the first Of its kind in the ma
ton, was passed by city council
this week and signed by Acting
Mayor George Connell.
The impost hit an estimated
1000, 900 workers and was ex-
pected to bring in $4,000 900 an
nually. The ordinance did not
even exempt WPA workers.
Employers must deduct the tax
from the pay envelopes of their
employees, and professional men
and others who earn profits in
unincorporated businesses were re-
quired to make returns and cal
culate their tax on the basis OF
their 1889 earned incomes. Or

He was her childhood friend and
sweetheart Of 40 years ago-but
as a husband he was not as she
had hoped.
An even month Of married life
was enough for 60-year-old Mrs.
Malvina LaBonte, she made 1t very
clear in a divorce action on file
in Pierce county superior court
Friday against 63-year-old Edward
LaBonte, of 1922 So. C st.
Forty years ago, said the elderly
bride in her detailed complaint,
LaBonte went west from New
England. Each married. Her
husband passed on Jan. l. 1899;
the first Mrs. LaBonte, in October,
the year before.
In August, this year, he went
east and renewed his friendship
with the plaintiff, who was residing
at Worcester, Mass, and persuaded
the plaintiff to come to Tacoma
and marry him." She did on
Nov. 16.
Given Assurance
He promised, she complained,
that he would make a good home
for her and assured her he
would do all in his power to make
the plaintiff happy :"
She now complains that since
the marriage he has failed, refused
and neglected to give her any
money; that although her shoes
are worn out he has refused
to repair them that he has
refused to buy her clothing but
insists she wear what clothes were
left by his first wife, although his
first wife wore size 81 and the
plaintiff size AZ.
Calls Him Miser
THAT instead of being thought
ful of said plaintiff the defendant
is extremely abusive to her and
addresses her in vile and vicious
terms that he has become a
miser and refuses to spend any
money although well able to do
so
That said defendant refuses to
open any windows in the house and
that all the windows are nailed
shut and as a result the house is
never aired and the plaintiffs
health is endangered because of
said stuffiness.
That the defendant has refused
to allow the plaintiff to play the

Destroyers Seeking
Control Of Sea in
Drive on Subs
Hope to End Torpedo
Menace, With Depth
Charge Best Weapon

With depth charges, popularly
known during the first World War
rs &c. Leans" racked on their stern
launching rails, British and French
destroyers again are on patrol in a
duel with German submarines for
mastery of the sea. Submarine
hunting, with the toll in torpedoed
ships mounting daily, has become
again the most vital phase of naval
warfare.
For Great Britain's continued Sc
curity the submarine menace must
be abated. Already, in less than
three weeks of warfare, she has lost
at least 80 merchant ships and an
aircraft carrier to German subma-
rines. Unrestricted submarine war
fare during the World War nearly
brought Great Britain to her knees.
Already the toll of submarine
warfare has mounted to heights it
did not reach until the first World
War had been in progress for two
years or more. At the start of this
war the German underseas fleet was
vastly more powerful than in 1914
and 1t has been put to work from
the start on commerce raiding.
When the World War began in
1914 Germany had q U-boats in op-
Grafton. At the start of this war
she was credited with so built and
Il more building, all of them new
vessels of the most modern types.
Unofficial reports indicate 100 may
be in operation.
Russia, according to the latest
available figures, has more than 134
submarines which she could add to
the German underseas fleet at once
IN case Of joint military action by
the two powers.
Against them the British have 55
submarines built and 10 building and
France rs built and q building. ac-
cordlng to the latest available fig
ures, giving strengths as of July /.
Italy Has los Subs.
Italy, one of the strongest of un-
dersea powers, has 1O5 submarines
built, of which SO are listed as mod
ern. "underage" vessels. and "a
building. No figures for Japan are
available later than 1896, when she
mad 80 submarines completed.
The United States, by wav of con-
trast. has a total of 80 submarines
81 OF which are obsolete, oyeraee
types and 81 of which are laid IN
and not available for operation
This country has total of So oper-
atlng submarines, many of them
overage.
Experience indicates that only
one-third of the submarines of any
naval power can be kept in OPERA
ton "at the front" at one time. the
other two-thirds being in yaros
undergoing repairs, replenishing Of
supplies and equipment, or en- route
back and forth between battle sta
tions and home ports.
This means that If Germany has
so U-boats available for service.
perhaps not more than 20 of them
actually are patrolling the sea-
lanes on the prowl for victims at
one time, in the opinion Of naval
officers here.
The speed with which the Ger
mans have resumed submarine war
fare in this war apparently has re-
suited in their stealing a march on
the British and French, who have
not yet had time to re-establish the
complicated anti-submarine de-
lenses they had built up by 1918.
