Bo many Inquiries have been' received
from persons affected by the nejr war
revenue bill and conflicting; tatmnts
from time to time, that Milton, A. Mil
ler, collector of Internal revenue, has
prepared the following- statement that
Individual Incomo tax payers may be

, 1116, vis: between January 1 and
March 1, 1918, and returns must be
filed with the collector of internal
revenue by March 1. 1918, unless an
extension of time Is applied for In
writing and (ranted by the collector
for caue.
Exemptions Are medaced
"The new act reduces the exemptions
of unmarVleU persons to 81000 and re
duces the exemptions of married per
sons to 12000, no that an unmarried in
dividual will pay a normal tax upon
his net Income In excess of 31000 at
the rate of 2 up to 83000, and at the
rate of on his net Income in ex
cess of 33000; while a married person
will pay a normal tax on his net In
come In excess of 32000 it the rate of
2 up to 34000, nd at the rate of i
nrtrmal on his net Income in excess of
81000.
Under the provisions of the new act
the aiir or graduated tax commences
at 8&000, while under the existing act
of September 8, 1918. only Incomes in
excess of 820.000 are burdened with
the sur or additional tax, so that for
the year 1917, individuals whose net
income Is In excess of 85000 will pay
the graduated or sur tax under the
schedule of rates provided In the new
art only up to and including 320,000,
and those individuals having a net In

dened with the sur or graduated tax
under the combined rates of the two
acts.
Under the new act, returns are re
quired of all unmarried individuals
having a net income for the year 1917
of 81000 or over. and of all married
Individuals having an Income of 32000
or over.
rresent Tax Ltw Stands
No withholding of the tax on miscel
laneous Income (such as rents, sal
aries, etc.) Is required under the pro
visions of tha new act, but remains the
same as heretofore under the existing
act of September 8, 1918. Income rep
resented by Interest upon bonds and
mortgages is not subject to the with
holding provisions under the new act
until on and after January 1, 1818, and
thereafter only one of 2 normal tax
ahall be deducted and withheld at the
source.
The new act does not in any manner
take the place of or absorb the exist
ing Income tax law, but is wholly in
addition to the tax provided by the act
of September, 1918.

don's Interpretation today of the news
of German Minister of Marin von
Capelle's resignation.
Berlin dispatches received via H1
land declared the man whom Oriid
Admiral von Tirpitx, father of se
frightfulness, picked as Ma successor
in ruthlessness bad formally asked bis
retirement of C&ancellor Michaels
and that Michaels had telegrapned
this resignation to the kaiser.
The same dispatches indicated that
Mlchaells, blmsal'. was perhaps tot
tering to a fall.
Kaval Chief Blamed for Mutiny
The direct cause of Von Capelle's
retirement was undoubtedly his relchf
tag revelations of the German, nava!
mutiny. The navl chief was blanud
first for permittiag conditions to x
1st in the navy under which such a
mutiny could grow and he cam in for
the radicals' displeasure when he
Joined what apparently the liberal ele
ments in Germany have begun to le
alize was an attempt at a coup to bol
ster up Mlchaells' fight for Vice Chan
cellor Helfferlch.
The greatest interest was manifest
her today in why the German relchs
tag's adjournment period was length
ened so much beyond the usual recess
period. The German parliament ad
journed Thursday, not to meet again
until December i. It was believed
here that Chancellor Mlchaells realise!
his falling grip on. the majority ar.d
put over a long rfess period to post
pone a showdown and' bis possible fail.
Spirit of Satiny Prevails
Other evidences have been trickling
out of Germany of late. Indicating
gradual realisation by the public of
the failure of the submarine warfare,
despite the glowingly optimlsuc
statements of government heads. Oae
reason for the open outbreak at Wil
belmshaven, acco-ding to one repjrt.
was the naval policy of forcing sailois
to work in submarines. One Holland
dispatch asserted that a number of
sailors who refused this hazardo-14
duty had been severely punished.
That this spirit of mutiny is still
prevalent was indicated in another re
port of the execution of four or five
men for the same reason.
Heavily increased pay, special leav.s
of absence and special food ashore,
all offered for submarine duty, have
failed of their attractions for the U
boat crews.
The kaiser is cot expected back in
BerlMl until the latter part of October
and iiOmt German dispatches indicated
that von Capelle's resignation, as well
as the future of Chancellor Mlchaells
would not be decided until then.
GERMAN SUBMARINE
CRISIS IS BELIEVED
TO HAVE BEEN MET
Washington, Oct. 13. (I. N. S.) De
tailed information reaching the gov
ernment has confirmed the opinion in
official circles that the ' submarine
crisis is past
Germany, building more U-boats
than ever before, is obtaining less re
sults than at any time since, and even
before, its proclamation of unrestricted
undersea warfare.
This Information includes figures as
to the number of submarines captured
and the number believed to have been
sunk. Officials declare that the total
would give a thrill of astonishment
and satisfaction to the allied peoples
should the figures be made public.
While it la admitted that Germany
probably is increasing its fleet of
U-boats, the destruction being less
than the reported output, the new U
boats show the depreciation of Ger
many's resources. They are merely
shells with engines in. them, compared
with the powerful submarines she had
in the early months of her campaign.
Many are lfttle better than death
traps, it is declared, and the opinion is
expressed that many German subma
rines are lost through the risks of the
sea which, if added to the allies' toll,
would throw the balance th other
way.
The situation is still serious and
there is no attempt to underestimate
it, but the belief here is that the Ger
man tide is receding on sea as well as
on land and that while sinkings will
continue and seriously handicap the
nations fighting Germany, the danger
point has been left to the rear.

Buenos Aires, Oct. 13. (I. N. S.)
Riots that had been expected at Fri
day's neutralist and radical demonstra
tions, which coincided with the celebra
tion by the Spaniards and Italians of
Columbus day and the president's an
niversary of assumption of office, -lid
not come to pass. There were numer
ous minor disturbances in which the
police charged into parading crowds,
but, on the whole, the day passed
quietly.
The parade was participated In by
4000, mostly Spaniards and Germans.
The city was not flagged. The bands,
which were composed almost exclu
sively of Italians, refused to render
their services.
A Bilent, sullen crowd watched the
marchers and the general atmosphere
was decidedly hostile to the advocates
of continued neutrality.

CHEERFUL, GENEROUS
DOING OF DUTY BY ALL
IS
Cardinal Gibbons Points Out
People Can Thus Best Aid
Selves and Nation,
Washington, Oct. 13. (I. N. S.
All Americans can do the greatest
good to themselves and the country
by a chesrful and generous perform
ance of their duty as it Is pointed
out to them by lawfully constituted
authority, Cardinal Gibbons asserted
in a letter to President Wilson accept
ing the honorary chairmanship of the
League for National Unity.
The cardinal's letter, made public
at the White House Friday, follows:
"In these days of the gravest prob
lems, which have ever weighed , upon
our American government, our
thoughts go out to the chiet executive
warmed with a heartfelt sympathy
for the heavy burdens of office which
he must bear, and freighted with the
unwavering determination of loyal
citizens to stand by him in his every
effort to brine success to our arms
and to achieve these ide&ls of justice
and humanity which..' compelled en
trance into the war.
Obedience Hot Servility
"Guided, as we -are, by the sublime
teachings of Christianity, we have no
other course open to us but that of
obedience and devotion to our country.
Our Divine Lord tells us, 'Render to
Caesar the things that are Caesar's
and to God the things that are God's'
and t. Paul, following the steps of
his master, says, 'Let every soul be
subject to the higher powers, for, there
is no authority but from God, and those
that are, are ordained by God. There
fore he who resisteth the power, re-
sisteth the ordinance of God, and they
who resist purchase to themselves
condemnation.' We wish our people to
see, and we are striving to help them
to realize, that they owe unswerving
loyalty to the rulers whom they have
elected to office, and that in doing so
they are not acting in a slavish man
ner, for obedience is not an act of
servility we pay to man, but an act
of homage we pay to God.
Education Is Object
"We are working to the end that
our countrymen may see the folly and
grave disobedience of unjust and ill-
tempered criticism of national policies.
We are bending our efforts to point
out to our fellow men that they In all
probability see the present situation
from only one angle, whereas the gov
ernment sees It from every viewpoint
and is therefore alone in the position
to judge of the expediency of national
affairs.
"In a word, we have been exerting
every effort, and will continue to do
so, to persuade all Americans that
they can do the greatest good to them
selves, and their country by a cheer
ful and generous performance of their
duty, as it is pointed out to them by
lawfully constituted authority." .
President Expresses Thanks
The president replied:
"May I not express my very deep
and sincere appreciation of your letter
of October 6? It has brought me cheer
and reassurance and I want you to
know- how much I appreciate your
own action in consenting to preside
over the important and influential
group of men and women who have
so generously undertaken to support
the administration in its efforts to
make the whole character and purpose
of this war and of the government of
the United States in the prosecution
of It clear to the whole people."

As soon as the enemy saw the at
tack started he loosed a tremendous
rat-a-tat of machine gun fire but the
German artillery was slow and r

The fact that today's cSunter attack
mentioned above was not sufficiently
strong even to reach the British 'lines
is of great significance, coupled with
Field Marshal Halg's report that there
were no German counterblows at
tempted against his new positions last
night.
The fact that the Germans withheld
attempts to shake the British from
their newly-won grounds except for
what must have been a very weak ef
fort around Passcbendaele, indicates
strict observance of the new Hln
denburg rules of economy of Ger
many's man power, recently detailed
at length in United Press dispatches
from Henry Wood.

Riga Drive at End
Petrograd, Oct. 13. (I. N. S.)
Germany's offensive against Russia
on the Riga front was brought to an
end by the increasing British pressure
against the Germans in West Flan
ders, according to Colonel Clerget,
military critic of 'the Bourse Gazette,
in an article today reviewing the
whole military situation.
Since the fall of Riga the Germans
have been able to make only insignifi
cant advances, Colonel Clerget pointed
out, whereas the Russians, in many
instances, proved their positions by
advancing in several sectors and dent
ing the German line.

Washington. Oct. 13. "There will
be absolutely no trouble with pro-German
newspapers in this country after
30 days," says" Postmaster General
Burleson. "We are examining papers
every day and where we find disloyal
statements the papers are barred from
the malls."
"Our campaign s not letting up la
Its vigor," the postmaster general con
tinued. "The action is being taken on
five or six papers every day. We are
not censoring the papers. They are
censoring themselves. If they publish
seditious articles they can count on
being barred from the mails."
Burleson made this statement in an
interview granted newspaper men fol
lowing Friday afternoons cabinet
meeting.
APATHY OF PUBLIC
TOWARD BONDS IS
PUZZLE TO MILLS
(Continued From Pas- One)
"I wish the public could get the idea
that the government is doing the peo
ple a kindness in allowing them to
subscribe to an investment that will
pay good returns, instead of taking
Ltheir money in taxes.
Buy Bonds or Pay Taxes
"The government can tax and tax
heavily, and will undoubtedly do so 1
if this loan is not subscribed. Right
now the government is not asking them
to give anything. It is asking a loan,
pure' and simple, and the lender will
be reimbursed with ample profit. j
"We might just as well understand '
right now that these bond Issues are
coming up every two or three months
until next summer, and maybe until
the war is over. The allies are surely ,
going to lay down on us if we don't
help them completely, and that is just
what the loan is intended for. I don't
know what to think of the attitude
being displayed."
"We don't realise; we haven't got
ten down to earth yet," said C. A.
Miller of San Francisco, state cam
paign manager. V
"Some of the people who come into
headquarters act like they are sur
prised at the fact we are in a war.
One or two bond purchases are not 1
enough. Every family head in this i
country has got to set aside some-
thing from his earnings every month
to lend to the government.. He doesn't i
have to buy a bond every month, but
ne has got to make an appropriation
in his family budget, just the same as
he sets money aside for the grocery
bill.

School Board to Invest
The Portland school board has de

vesting 8302,000 of Its bond sinking
runa and the insurance fund in Liberty
bonds. The plan was first broached
early this week by Dr. E. A. Sommer,
of the board's finance committee, and
the action was determined upon when
tne board met Thursday. This money
at present Is drawing 2 per cent from
the bankn. Dr. Sommer pointed out
that the investment will be both safe
and expedient, inasmuch as the bonds
can be liquidated any time, when the
funds are needed.
Arrangements are to be made to sell
the bonds to the teachers on the in
stallment plan. Dr. Sommer said.

From the cradle to the grave most of man's activities will now be taxed under the
new Revenue Bill, points out an Associated Press correspondent, since "baby's first dash of

and after death, the Federal Collectors wHbe on hand to get the Inheritance Tax at advances
on the present rate of from 1 on $50,000.00 to 10 on $1,000,000.00."
While Congressman Kitchin and Senator Simmons, respectively responsible for the Tax
Revenue legislation in the House and Senate, express much satisfaction with it, the newspaper
press in various sections of the country is commenting upon what it deems, to use the words
of the New York Evening Sun, the law's serious "inequities," "obscurities," "incomprehen
sibilities,,, and 'workabilities."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for October 13th, a clear exposition of what the new
