Monologue Artist Srores.
Opinions may vary as to which of
the two Hughes sisters Is the more
fascinating, but there can be no two
opinions about the Hughes sisters'
clever little vaudeville act on the Hip
podrome bill that ppened yesterday.
One of the pretty maids plays a violin
quite, differently from the majority of
maids who follow the bow. - -The other
pretty sister plays a big golden harp,
and the two present soles and duets
that delight. The violinist sings, too
and her smile should be copyrighted. "
A moneloglst who has a new fund
of fun material is Sam Jv. Otto. He
chats -'affably about personal affairs
and reaps, a harvest of laughter with
his accounting of his wedding, the de
tails of which he gets wildly confused
with another event in his life when he
was sent to jaiL Otto has personality
and puts his act over in great style.
"A Rural Delivery" is the title of a
little comedy skit that adorns the bill.
It is offered by Eldredge. Barlow and
Eldredge. One of the trio is a cjever
artist who appears as postmaster, con
stable, express agent and chief of the
fire department. He introduces sing
ing and dancing in between his pro
fessional activities and elicits gales of
laughter. It's a clever act.
One of the keenest acrobatic acts In
seasons is that of Matilda and Corpus,
one an athletic, quick-as-a-rattler ac

they balance head on head while the
girl plays a mad tune sets applause
going.

816 INCOMES HARD HIT
SECTION , OF SEW ACT SLIPS IX
THROUGH CONFEREES.
Business. Prafeawtonal aad Salaried
Men Who Have Income o f More
Than 60M a Year to Pay Twice. '
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. The new war
taxes designed to raise two and a half
billion dollars under the provisions of
the revenue bill signed yesterday by
President Wilson went into effect to
day. In the form of levies on incomes, ex
ceett profits, liquor, tobacco, transpor
tation and Various luxuries "and amuse
ments, the law either directly or in
directly nffects everyone in the coun
try. One of the first results is the ad
vance in: distilled beverage prices
caused by an assessment of $2.10 a
gallon.
It had been- estimated by the Treas
ury Department and the Senate finance
committee that the law during the first
year of its operation will raise from In
dividual and corporate incomes- 8K1,
000,000; excess profits, SI. 000,000. 000:
distilled spirits, $135,000,000; tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes. T61.500.000;
transportation, J0, 000,000: amusement
admissions, SsO.Qft.OOO. und automobiles
and motorcycleur $40,000,000.
Business and professional men and
salaried men as well, who have incomes
of more than $6000 a. year, face a war
profits tax of 8 per cent, in addition
to the income surtaxes, -under the pro
visions of a section which has been dis
covered in the war tax bill.
The section was not introduced on
the floor, nor discussed In -either house
of Congress, but was inserted by the
conferees while they were working in
secret session to bring out the per
fected bill.
The war profits section of the bill
lays a tax of 8 per cent on the net in
come of a "business or trade" when it
exceeds $3000 a year in the case of a
corporation, and $6000 in the case of a
partnership or an individual. A subse
quent section Just discovered declares
that a trade or business includes "pro
fessions and occupations."
If this interpretation stands, profes
sional, business and salaried men will
pay two taxes on their incomes.

anxious to hear abaut what action has
been taken and assume that Secretary
McAdoo will make a statement "n hen
he disposes of It.'
The administration of the bureau has
been under investigation by a commit

by Representative Jeannette Rankin,
