TTTE MORNING ORE GONI AN, SATURDAY, AUGUST I, 1917. POSTOFFIGE ASKS . FEW EXEMPTIONS Qualified Distributers Alone Are Held Indispensable to Government Service. PAY MAY GO TO FAMILY n-orost Marshal-General Calls Atten tion of Exemption Boards to Fact That $30 a Month Is in Addition to Subsistence. "WASHINGTON. An. 3. A ruling Issued today by the Postoffice Depart ment shows that department officials will make few requests for the exemp tion of postal employes from military service. Postmasters are Instructed not to ask exemption for carriers or labor ers or for clerks In second-class offices below the 11000 (Trade, clerks in first- class offices below the $1100 grade or any above these grades unless they are qualified distributors of mail. The ruling is the first formal one by an executive department In compliance with President Wilson's order direct ing that department officials indicate exemptions and the requirement of in dlspensability be rigidly enforced. As generally construed the postal ruling shows the purpose of the ad ministration to make the Government departments leaders In freeing valu able employes for war service. Mall Carriers Not Exempt. The entire mall carriers' force, numbering thousands of men, of whom a considerable percentage are within the draft-age limits, is excluded from exemption except for physical reasons or because of dependent families. Kvery portion of the country is reached by the ruling an even the rural car riers are included. The department's ruling leaves rail way mail clerks within the exemption classes, as they are highly specialized distributors. Jovost Marshal General Crowder took steps today to reduce the number of exemptions because of dependent families. Instructions were sent to the Governors of all states pointing out that the minimum pay of soldiers is now $30 a month, and that local boards must consider whether a man's de pendents could not be supported on that amount. The telegram follows: Soldier' Pay S30 or More. "Please call attention of local boards to the fact that a soldier's pay is not less than $30 a month, and that all clothing, subsistence, medical treat ment and housing are furnished him. Under the law he may allot any por tion of his pay to a dependent. Many soldiers receiving $30 a month are easily able to allot $25 monthly to the support of dependents. In case of death in line of duty the Government will pay to the beneficiary designated by the soldier six months' pay. "Section 4 of the selective service act provides that those in a status with respect to persons dependent upon them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable may be discharged, but it does not require that they shall be discharged In all such cases. The discretion of local boards is invoked by this provision, and such boards may well take the facts recited above into consideration in deciding claims for discharge due to dependency, with a view to deter mining whether, as a matter of fact, the person claiming such . discharge will not be in as gooC or better posi tion to support his dependents after selection for military service than he was before. If such is the case, of course, the discharge should not be granted." General Crowder has suggested to the Governors that each assemble the full membership of all district boards in his state for a general conference to insure uniform procedure regarding appeals. The Governors were asked also to appoint an official in each local district to file appeals. County attor neys were suggested.

GASOLINE SCARCITY NOTED Wholesalers Refuse to Guarantee Future Deliveries. The fact that local managers for at least one or two of the big wholesale companies have notified their retail dealers that they will not guarantee to make future deliveries of gasoline has led motorists to wonder what de velopment is apt to take place In the gasoline market. The reason given for tne warning that gasoline may not be available per manently is that there is a shortage of tonnage for moving the fuel oil from California points, but the local retail dealers feel certain that there must be some other reason back of the new de velopment.

The war tax bill, under revision since May 24, was put into final form today for report to the Senate by the finance committee. It provides for approximately $2,000, 000.000 in taxes to meet war expenses, but makes no provision for further bond authorizations. The bill was increased $133,000,000 over the total as it passed the House. About $327,000,000 was added during the last week because of the latest war estimates. The final re-draft will be presented to the Senate as a bi-partisan measure Monday. Senators La Pollette, Gore and Thomas plan a separate re port advocating higher tax levies. The new Increase of $327,000,000 over the committee's original draft Is dis- j tributed approximately among the fol- j lowing additional levies: Additional Sinu Raised. On corporate Incomes, $162,000,000; additional surtaxes on individual in comes of $15,000 and over. $27,500,000; distilled spirits, $5,000,000; beer, $12,- 500,000; wines, $17,000,000; war excels profits, $5,000,000; bank checks, $2, 000,000; floor or stock taxes on sugar. coffee, tea and cocoa, $6,000,000. Additional taxes on Incomes of cor porations apply also to partnerships. Joint stock companies and associations. Including life Insurance companies. Their normal Income tax is increased to 6 per cent, 4 per cent more than the present law and 2 per cent above the original House and committee pro gramme. Increased sur-taxes fall entirely on individuals having Incomes of $15,000 or above. They range from 1 per cent on $15,000 incomes to a maximum of 33 per cent on incomes in excess of $500,000. The following new surtax rates on Individual Incomes of $15,000 or over were adopted: Between $15,000 and $20,000, 6 per cent; $20,000 and $40,000, 8 per cent; $40,000 and $60,000, 10 per cent; $60,000 and $80,000, 12 per cent; $80,000 and $100,000. 16 per cent; $100,000 and $150,- 000, 20 per cent; $150,000 and $200,000, 23 per cent; $200,000 and $250,000, 26 per cent; $250,000 and $300,000, 29 per cent; $300,000 and $500,000, 31 per cent, and over $500,000 33 per cent. Another new provision adopted pro vides for a flat $5000 exemption for in dividuals from the war excess profits taxes. Liquor Taxes Increased. An additional $1 per gallon tax is imposed on distilled spirits withdrawn from bond except those used for in dustrial purposes, increasing the tax on distilled beverages to $3.20 per gal lon as compared with the present rate of $1.10. The committee's prohibitory tax on grain, molasses and other in gredients of whisky to stop further manufacture also Is retained. Beer would be taxed $3 per barrel. double the present rate. Wines would bear virtually treble their present taxes. The House levy was only $6, 000.000 on wines. The $5,000,000 Increase on war excess profits was added by minor changes in the schedule of such taxes providing for a total revenue of $528,000,000. The $2,000,000 additional from bank checks would make $10,000,000 in all from that source. The committee originally planned to tax only checks of $5 or more, but decided today to extend the 1-cent rate to all checks. The Tiew floor or stock taxes on sugar, tea, coffee and cocoa, at the same rates proposed In the new con sumption taxes, are levied only on wholesalers and retailers having large accumulated supplies.

The minister for Finland took tne manifesto to Helslngfors and delivered It to Goverr-or-General Stakovlch, who read It to the Senate, after which he made a friendly speech in which he said: i "This manifesto is the most demo cratic action yet performed by the rev olutionary government, for It makes Finland's people masters of their own destiny."
