TAX BILL WILL TOUCH ALL MEN, EVEN UNBORN From Talcum Powder to In heritance Is Range of Levy by War Legislation WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—The $2,700.- | 000.000 war tax bill, which is up for final action in the house, •"catches" al most everybody from the cradle to the grave and, for good measure, levies a few new taxes on the heirs. Baby’s first dash of talcum will, un der the 1 per cent manufacturer’s tax on cosmetics, help Uncle Sam carry on the after the payer s death he fed eral collectors will be on hand to get the inheritance tax,*at advances on the present rate of from 1 per cent on $50,- 000 per cent on $1,000,000. Between birth and death most of man’s activi ties would be taxed, voting a proxy at a meeting of a cemetery association be ing one of the few specifically ex empted. Those who have profited most by ths war, the recipient of enormous excess war profits, will pay the most to help carry it on. Almost half the total amount of the bill, or about $1,110,000,- 000, Is to be collected from them. The person who writes a postal card will be caught, for cards will sell for two cents each by the provisions of the bill. Letters will be three cents. One will be taxed when he goes to a moving picture show, if the admission is over five cents, one-tenth of the cost of the ticket. That rate will affect all who attend amuse ments. from the man In the gallery to the one in the box. A host of stamp taxes, designed to raise $30,000.0000, also will get the man with little money In many ways. His greatest consolation is that the consumption taxes, which would have made him pay on coffee, tea and sugar, were stricken from the bill. The man of moderate means, as well as the wealthy is affected by the income tax section. Normal rates have been doubled and exemptions lowered to sl,- 000 for single persons and $2,000 for married ones. Surtaxes, for incomes above $5,000 ranged from 1 to 50 per cent, the maximum applying to incomes over $1,000,000. This section is expected to raise $600,000,000. Included in the taxes Imposed on manufacturers are levies of one-quarter a cent a foot on motion picture films. 2 per cent on the sale price of chewing gum and 3 per cent on automobiles, musical instruments and jewelry. Even drowning one’s tax troubles in drink or sending them up in smoke will cost more, for-the levies on all kinds of drinks and tobacco soar. The new rate on whisky Is $2.10 per gallon, and beer, $2.50 a barrel. Wine taxes will be about doubled, and even grape juice will be taxed a cent a gallon. A person cannot escape taxes by travel. Eight per cent is assessed on passenger tickets, and steamer tickets also pay a tax. Some confusion an misinterpretation has arisen out of the wording of the section imposing stamp taxes on nego tiable instruments which has been mis construed to mean that a tax has been placed on bank checks. The bill sa> s ‘‘drafts or checks pay able otherwise than at sight or on de mand.” etc., two cents for each SIOO. The official interpretation of this sec tion is that as a check is payable at sight and on demand, it therefore is ex eluded from tax.

Kuhn l>oeb & Co. subscribed for $lO,- OOv.ooo. nali ot it for the Union Pacific • any ..nd half for the iScu.iiern Pacific . •York City’s opening drive the campaign to raise at least half, and as much more at pos ! sible. of the second Liberty loan in the • second federal reserve district—sl,soo,- 000,000 In twenty-four working days— was ushered in today by the ringing of ! church bells and the shrieking of whls i ties from factories and harbor craft. To accomplish the project, probably one of the most stupendous feats in popular finance ever attempted by any municipality in the world, it will be necessary to obtain an average of $62,- 000,000 on each -day of the campaign. Enlisted in the work are thousands of highly trained bond salesmen, great In dustrial and financial y establishments, .many thousands of school children and ' school teachers, well organized Boy Scouts and hundreds of patriotic organ izations of men and women. The opening of the campaign was sig nalled by a parade of bond salesmen and other workers from the sub-treasury building to the eity hall, where Mayor Mitchel addressed them. The women of the federal reserve dis trict, led by Mrs. John T. Pratt, the’ district chairman, and Mrs. Courtlandt D. Barnes, New York state chairman, raised a banner across Fifth avenue, i which carried this message: “Mothers who have given their sons to end this war ask you to buy Liberty bonds.” The city IS placarded with thousands of posters, some of which read; “The Germans can’t halt our Sam mies, but unbought bends can;” "Post pone that dinner party—buy a Liberty bond.” and “Enter Liberty bonds; exit kultur.” The first milllon-doUajr subscription to the new Liberty loan was announced here today by Bernard Scholle & Co., who subscribed on behalf of the firm and its clients Second Call Expected To Yield $5,000,000,000 WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—Americas second call for volunteer dollars is ex pected to yield $5,000,000,000. All over the United States today—in the tiniest hamlets and the largest cities - machinery was set in motion and hu man energies unleashed to fill democra cy’s war chest. Ten million people are called upon to respond to the second Liberty Loan. Three billion dollars must be recruited by October 27—the day the subscription books close —and an over response of $2,000,000,000 is looked for. Each the country—divided into twelve tederal reserve zones—has re ceived complete directions from- head quarters here. From the New York dis trict with Its quota of $900,000,000, or 30 per cent oi the entire issue, to the Dallas district wi(h its $75,000,000 as signment, every community knew what was expected of it. The history-making toll of the Lib erty bell set whistles, gongs and bells ablest throughout the nation—officially starting the campaign. At noon here all business stopped two minutes in recog nition of the opening drive. The second Liberty Loan will profit by the experience of the first—and will differ from it In many ways. It will be fairer to the humbler purchaser; it will appeal to the farmer, the laborer, the housewife and the man in the street, as well as to the wealthy investor. It will be saleable “over the counter" with in ten days after the campaign starts; and it will bear 4 per cent interest In stead of 3 1-2. There is no rigid limit to the amount of the loan. Men, women and children, millionaire banker and Boy Scout are arrayed to make the second loan a success. Newspapers, magaines and all other mediums are called upon to help. Pub lic speakers will tour the country head ed by Secretary McAdoo, who makes his first speech in Cleveland, Ohio, today. I These will be on the road until October ; 26—tfie day before the great campaign j ends. McAdoo Opens Campaign For Bonds in Cleveland CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. I.—Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in Cleveland today personally sounded the battle cry for the second great Liberty Loan Which is expected to raise $5,000,000,000 by October 27.

I.—The congress of non-Slav nationalities at its final session at Kiev adopted a resolution declaring that Rusisa must be a federal democratic republic. Every nationality comprising the population of Rusisa. in cluding the Cossacks. the resolution, says, must be granted a large measure of autonomy, the basis of which should be laid down by a constituent assem bly especially- convoked by each nation ality. The ministry of foreign affairs it adds should immediately establish a special commission composed of representatives of every nationality in Russia to pre pare to defend their national Interests at the peace conference.

J' BOARD OF GWINNETT WORKS FOR AIR SCHOOL Body of Atlanta Ciitizens Ap pears Before Commission ers at Monday Meeting The board of commissioners of Gwin nett cou*nty, Georgia. Monday morning pledged every aid in their power toward securing the location of the proposed government aviation field and training school near Grayson, in Gwinnett coun ty. A committee composed of Atlanta citi zens who have been active in the prelim inary work of securing the aviation school appeared before the commission ers at their meeting Monday, asking their co-operation. The Gwinnett commissioners agreed to construct and keep in good condition the road from Lawrenceville to join the Decatur road at the DeKalb county line near Tucker, Ga. They also agreed to put in good condition the road in Gwin nett county from Lawrenceville to At lanta byway of Stone Mountain. There is already a good road from Grayson to Lawrenceville, and the action of the commission Monday assures two good ro_ads from the aviation camp to At lanta. The commissioners also agreed to di vert the present road that runs through the site of the proposed camp to an other route nearby. According to the government requirement, there must be no road in the aviation field. The commissioners, while believing that as a body they could not legally engage in the work of helping to grade the field, nevertheless as citizens they promised to help work up sentiment to secure funds to have this done. The Atlanta committee was composed of Ivan E. Allen, president of the At lanta chamber of commerce; Walter G. Cooper, secretary, and J. R. Smith and J. H. Ewing. The board of commis sioners of Gwinnett county is made up of some of the most prominent citi zens of that part of the state. They are Victor H. Allen, of Buford; S. J. Phillips, of Harbin s district, and J. H. Britt, of the Lawrenceville district. Engineers of J. B. McCrary and com pany, of Atlanta, arrived at Grayson on Monday to begin the work of making a topographical map of the proposed field which will be submitted to the gov ernment authorities.

W. W. INFLUENCE BELO RE3PDNSIOLE FOR TROUBLE i / ■■ ■ w . ■ ■ ■ ■ » Agitators at McClellan Dis missed From Camp—Fed eral Probe Ordered (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) camp McClellan, anniston, oct. I.—Efforts of agitators to get skilled laborers to leave Camp McClellan con tinue, despite the prompt action of offi cers in every ease. Earlier last week the quartermaster's department, by pre senting the real facts to confute the specious arguments of the agitators, dissuaded a trainload of carpenters from going to Lake Charles, La., where they had been led to expect better pay and other advantages not borne out by the facts in the case. Saturday further evi dence against certain men was found, and they were run out of the camp. All evidence points to I. W. W. in fluence In these cases, as well as in the attempt to stampede the carpenters soon after the camp work was started. On that occasion, Major Charles L. Dulin followed about five hundred men to the union depot at Anniston, and by appeal ing to their patriotism and showing up the real nature of the disturbance In duced them to return to work at the camp. A few weeks ago two men who ac knowledged membership in the I. W. W., spread false reports of smallpox and yellow fever in the camp, in an effort to Induce workmen to leave. This attempt failed and the agitators were summarily driven from the camp. The third ef fort, during the past week, was also frus trated, even after the leaders had made arrangements with the railroad com pany for a special train from Anniston to carry the men to Lake Charles and New Orleans Both civil and military officials are working on the matter, and It is under stood that federal secret service men have also taken a hand in it. The officers are particularly interested in solving the mystery involved in the plentiful supply of money in the hands of the agitators who are now at work in the camp, as they belong to a class who usually have little more money than sufficient to meet their Immediate needs. While the disorganizing forces may persuade a few of the men to quit, it is not believed that their efforts will have any important effect on t,he work of the camp. The officers expect most of the carpenters to remain on the job as they have shown on several occasions their real patriotism and their pride in mak ing a record-breaking job of the con struction of Camp McClellan.

This man was once our agent, but we have dis charged him and will not be responsible for any more subscriptions given to him He has collected for a good many subscriptions this summer, but has never sent them to us.

Following the investigation which con sumed a week, it was freely predicted that the officersjwould be reinstated. It was generally understood that all of the instances cited to corroborate the charges were clearly disproved.

Wit nesses testified the private was not hurt and during the investigation he testi fied In behalf of the officers. It is understood that the board also took up matters pointed out in of inspectors, and that the officers showed they were not responsible for the con ditions referred to, and had done aJI they could to remedy them.
