E BILL TAXES
E
Mr. Man Will Bump Into War
Levy From Time of Rising
L. Until He Retires.
MORNING BATH IS START
Practically Everything .Except Cot
ton From Sonth and Prime Prod
uct of Standard Oil Com
pany ' Included In Bill.
OTtEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 19. Every man. woman
and child in the United States will be
bllwed to "pay- his bit" when the
Kitchin war tax bill goes into effect,
unless it is radically amended by the
Senate, and even with probable Senate
amendments the law will be one that
few can escape entirely.
If the bill was designed to reach oat
and tax every inhabitant of the United
States, rich and poor, it probably will
accomplish its purpose, for if anything
has escaped taxation under the bill
other than the sacred cotton of the
South and the prime product of the
Standard Oil Company it has been
through oversight on the part of those
who drafted the Kitchin bill.
It has been said, and not. without
truth, that a man will bump into this
war tax from the time he rises in the
morning until he crawls Into bed at
night. Following Mr. Man through an
average day, it can be seen where and
how often the tax will overtake him.
On arising, he brushes his teeth with
tooth paste that pays a 6 per cent
tax. He shaves, and his shaving soap
pays a tax of 5 per cent. His bath
soap pays the same.
Breakfast Is Taxed.
As he breakfasts he- is reminded of
the war tax when he sips his coffee,
and if his mail Is brought to him at
the table he again sees evidence of
the war tax in the 3-cent stamps on
his letters and 2-cent postcards. May
hap he will read an out-of-town news
paper. If so, he pays another tax, for
the mall rate on newspapers is ad
vanced. And again he pays a tax
when he lights his after-breakfast
cigar and starts for the office In a
new automobile that has paid a & per
cent tax.
On the first of the month Mr. Man
finds he is charged a 6 per cent tax
on his telephone bill and his electric
light bill. . His income tax. if he paid
one, has been more than doubled, and
if he paid none heretofore, he proba
bly will pay -one under the new law;
comparatively few will escape the in
come tax.
He has packages to send by express;
on each he pays a tax of 10 per cent,
and if he ships by freight he pays 3
per cent.
Mr. Man sends a telegram; he pays
a tax of 5 cents on that, and if he
receives a collect message that costs
htm 6 cents extra. There is a long
distance phone call to be made; that
carries a 5-cent tax also.
Mr. Man must pay a war tax of 8
cents on each $100 for which he Is in
sured, and fire insurance, like health
or accident insurance, carries a tax of
1 cent on each dollar of premium.
Travelers Must Pay.
Mr. Business Man is called out of
town. He buys his ticket and pays
Uncle Sam 10 per cent of the price of
his ticket; he buys a Pullman chair
or a berth and pays another 10 per
cent tax, and he cannot escape the
tax by traveling by water, for the tax
Is there just the same.
If he has wines, or beer or cordials
with his dinner, he pays a war tax,
and he does not escape by substituting
prapejulce or mineral water. After
dinner another cigar and tax then
a bit of phonograph music, and with it
a tax, for even the records pay a 6
per cent tax.
The family may want a bit of
amusement. Mr. Man takes them to
the moving-picture show and there
he finds the admission advanced, be
cause the theater man is paying a
tax of 1 cent a foot on the film he Is
exhibiting. Moreover, Mr. Man finds
that Uncle Sam has imposed a direct
tax on tickets of admission.
Levy Put on Sports, Too.
Mr. Man may go in for sports. If so,
he meets the tax at every turn in the
road: tennis racquets, tennis balls,
golf balls, baseballs, bats, fishing rods
and equipment, all carry a tax of 5
per cent. He pays a 5 per cent tax If
he owns a pleasure boat. And, if he
belongs to a country club, a social
club or an athletic club, he pays a 10
per cent tax on his dues. . -
These are only a part of the taxes
the average citizen will encounter, if
the Senate lets the House bill pass in
anything like its present shape. There is
Tip accounting here for the tax on manu
factures, excess profits, various docu
ments, etc. The bill reaches out t
strike all lines of industry and men (
aim women in ail walks of life.

Corvallls, May 19. (Special.) Presi
dent. Kerr, who has just returned to

weeks at Washington, in the interest
of the food production and conserva

recommendation of the conference of
more than 180 colleges and university
presidents and Federal authorities, held
on May 5, that the state colleges and
universities be linked together into a
great articulate force serving the Na
tion during the period of the. war. and
the critical years following the war;
declaring their faith in the supreme
importance of applied science and
technical courses as a means of fur
thering the Nation's aim In prosecut
ing the war; urging all young men be
low the age of 21 not recommended for
special service to avail themselves, if
possible, of such college courses, and
strongly advising that all students now
pursuing technical courses, such as
medicine, agriculture and engineering.
continue in their pursuit of the sub
jects, since they can thus render to

and efficient than if they were to en
roll in military or naval service at
once."

BOOTLEGGING FIGHT OPENS
Marshficld City Attorney Plans
Cope With Situation.
to
MARSHFIELD, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Declaring that Marshfteld was a
beehive of bootleggers. City Attorney
J. T. Brand obtained two amendments
to the vehicle ordinance. City -orney
Brand said an officer had been intimi
dated by six men, presumably bootleg
gers, and the situation was one of out-and-out
lawlessness.
The amendments provided that spot
lights on automobiles may not be used
within the city limits, for as the City
Attorney explained, the bootleggers cast
their rays on the side streets and dis
covered the hiding places of officers
behind telephone poles and other ob
structions. The second amendment gives
all officers of the city power to stop
any automobile which they believe vio
lating any of the city ordinances.

view of the fact that the season here
Is backward and all the farmers are
busy for the present time getting in
their crops. A trip to Lakeview at the
present time would greatly Incon
venience all of them.
MODESTY IKES HIT
Marshal Joffre Captivates
Harvard Students.
HERO IS "H0BS0NIZED"
Pretty Boston Miss Wins Coveted
Kiss From Defender of France. .
President Lowell Much in Com-
pany of Noted Commander.
BT LAMAR TOOZE.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. May 19. (Spe
cial.) If General Joffre's recent visit
to Cambridge and Boston is a sample
of what he has been undergoing since
his arrival in America, he has un
doubtedly wished many times that he
were back on the western front, di
recting the armies of France. These
banquets and receptions and parades
must be so unnatural to the rotund,
ever-smiling Marshal, who has been
used to the shrieking of shrapnel and
the smell of gunpowder on the long
French front for three years. His
whole demeanor indicates that all the
fuss the people everywhere are mak
ing over him is not to his liking. He
givea you the impression of "grit your
teeth and stand it." And he does
it and well.
No wonder that the Germans were
stopped at the Marne. Who would
waver an Instant with the knowledge
that this old. fatherly soldier was at
the helm?' No wonder his soldiers and
the French people call him "Papa"
Joffre. A face that looks not unlike
that of ex-President Tart and a smile
that makes you feel good all over in
spires in you a feeling of absolute
confidence. The Marshal. Is not very
tall, but his circumference makes up
for the deficiency in altitude. He has
somewhat of a roly-poly appearance,
but sturdy. His physique must be very
much on the Napoleonic lines.
Marshal Is "Hobsoulsed."
The "hero of the Marne" met the
fate of all returning heroes he was
"Hobsonized." A pretty Boston girl,
speaking in French, won a coveted kiss
from Joffre. The old man got through
the ordeal just like he is getting
through all of the other duties of a
hero well.
Joffre's modesty is the secret to his
popularity. He will talk when he has
to. And he has no difficulty in- find
ing the appropriate idea and the words
to express It. In a musical, soft
French voice he addressed the 4000
Harvard students with the ease and
bearing of an experienced speech
maker. He spoke but two minutes, but
he covered the ground another Na
poleonic characteristic. His voice was
not loud, but every word could be
heard. As he stood on the platform
with the colors of the allied nations
in the back ground he seemed to sug
gest the fortitude of a war-scourged
France uncomplaining, resolute and
hopeful.
Dress Is Simple.
' When the regimental band struck up
the "Marseillaise." the Marshal came
to attention and executed the French
salute. This salute lacks the snap of
the American salute, but is no less dig
nified. He stood at attention until
the final note of the French anthem
had died away.
Despite the fact that he is the only
Marshal in the French army, Joffre
wore a very simple uniform. In fact,
the five French officers who have been
detailed to train the Harvard troops
were dressed much more elaborately.
He wore a blue coat with a single
line of brass buttons and was not be
decked with the many decorations he
has been given for his military
prowess. The trousers were a bright
red and disappeared in the tops of
a well-worn pair of high boots.
Hearts of Americans Won.
Joffre tried to be as inconspicuous
as possible. At the reception given in
his honor at Faneuil Hall, he succeeded
several times in getting out of the
circle of which he was the center. He
seemed particularly to enjoy the com
pany of President Lowell, of Harvard,
due to the fact that the president,
among his other accomplishments, is
a ready speaker of the French lan
guage, as well as being familiar with
the customs of that country.
General Joffre has won a place next
to La Fayette In the hearts of the
American people. He will carry back
to France the tidings of an America
which is ready to do its part in up
holding the forces of democracy against
the incursions of a military autocracy.

ABERDEEN. Wash., May 19. (Spe

country after being detained there four
months by inability to get passage
home. .
"Bread tickets are Issued everywhere
in Denmark." he said. "It makes no
difference how much money a man has
he can get only enough bread for his
subsistence. The government watches
all the foodstuffs closely." Mr. Wunseh
came home by way of Norway and he
says the vessel leaving Chrtstiania car

HEAVEN AND HELL
GRADED CONDITIONS IN THE HEREAFTER
BY DR. JAMES E. TALMAGE
Of the Council of the Twelve, Church of Jesus Christ of Lattcr-i
Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The destiny of souls in the hereafter
Is a subject of persistent Interest and
concern in human belief and specula
tion. Even pagan literature and the
languages of heathendom testify to a
general though ofttlmes vague concep
tion of two widely separated places or
strongly contrasted states of future
existence, which are tn the main equiv
alent to the Heaven and the Hell of
dogmatic theology.
The Holy Scriptures generalize the
future estate of the righteous as
Heaven, and the opposite as Hell, with
out giving warrant, however, for the
belief that but two places or kingdoms
are provided, to one or the other of
which every soul is to be consigned,
according to the balance sheet of hit
life's account, and perhaps on a very
smalt margin of merit or guilt. Equal
ly unscrlptural Is the inference that the
state of the soul at death determines
that kouI's place and environment
throughout eternity, forever deprived
of opportunity of progression.
When left to his imagination, with
out the guidance of revelation, man
conjures up a Heaven and a Hell to
suit bis fancy. Thus, to the mind of
the savage. Heaven Is a hunting
ground with game a-plenty; to the car
nal. Heaven promises perpetual grati
fication ot senses and passions; to the
lover of, truth and the devotee of
righteousness. Heaven is the assur
ance of limitless advancement In wis
dom and achievement. And to each of
these. Hell is the eternal realisation of
deprivation, loss, disappointment and
consequent anguish.
Divine revelation Is the'only source
of sure knowledge as to what awaits
man beyond the grave, and from this
we learn that at death the spirits of
all men pass to an Intermediate state.
In which they associate with their
kind, the good with the good. the
wicked with the wicked, and so shall
endure in happiness or awful suspense
until the time appointed for their res
urrection. Read what an ancient pro
phet said:
"Now concerning the state of the
soul between death and the resurrec
tion. Behold, it has been made known
unto me by an angel, that the spirits
of all men as soon as they are de
parted from this mortal body. yea. the
spirits of all men. whether they be
good or evil, are taken home to that
God who gave them life. And then
shall It come to pass that the spirits
of those who are righteous are re
ceived Into a state of happiness, which
Is called paradise: a state of rest; a
state of peace, where they shall rest
from all their troubles and from all
care and sorrow. . . . Now this Is the
state of the souls of the wicked, yea
In darkness and a stale of awful, fear
ful looking for the fiery indignation
of the wrath of God upon them: thus
thev remain In this state, as well as
the righteous In psradise. until the
time of their resurrection" (Book of
Mormon. Alma 40:11. 12. 14).
It is plain that Paradise la the dwell
ing place of relatively righteous spirits
awaiting the glorious dawn of the res
surrectlon. The final judgment, at
which all men shall appear before the
bar of Ood. is to fellow their resurrec
tion from the lead. We shall stand in
our resurrected bodies of flesh and
bones to receive from Jesus Christ,
who shall JudKe the world, the sentence
we individually merit, whether it be
-"or, ye bleaet of any t'atbrr," or
"Depart from me. ye cursed (see
Matthew 25:31-46).

Here is conclusive proof of varied
conditions In the world beyond; and
the teachings of Paul are Incisive as to
the state of resurrected souls: "There
are Im eeleatlal bodies, and bodies

tial Is one, and the glory of the terres
trial Is another. There Is one glory of
the sun. and another glory of the

Far below the lowest of these king
doms of glory Is the fate or place de
creed for the souls who have sinned In
the full lltrht of knowledge and with
onnficlollft arullt. OinitA vhn. havlnv re
ceived the testimony of Christ, have
ruthlessly and wantonly denied it In
the interest of temporary gain or grati
fication, who have fallen bo far In
transgression as to be known by tho
awful name, "sons of perdition." for
whom no forgiveness is promised (see
Doctrine and Covenants, section 76:
32-SS).
Thus It is provided that every soul
shall Inherit according to his deserts
under the Inviolable law of God. Salva
tion Is relative. He who attains tho
Teleattal state Is saved from tho fate
of utter Perdition! he who wins a place
in the Terieatt lal is raised above the .
lesser glory, and those who merit exal
tation In the Celestial kingdom are su
premely blessed, for they shall dwell
and servo with God and his Christ eter
nally. For the Book of Mormon, tho Book of
