WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Wealth
is taxed to about the straining point
by the new war revenue bill, Repre
sentative Ilngworth of Ohio declared
in the house today when debate on
tho huge tax measure was resumed.
He warned his hearers that any ad
ditional taxes levied hereafter must
bo borne by people purchasing arti
cles of dally necessity.
Altho criticising some of its fea
tures, Mr. Ixingworth commended
tho bill as a whole.
.In concluding the speaker said the
Gorman people, "gagged and bound,
pay bloody tribute to the Insatiate
ambition of the house of Hohenr-ol-lern"
and declared that "no citizen
of tho embattled nations, not even
the son of the great pacifist, Henry
Ford, Is more surely Immune from
bodily harm." That the emperor's
six sons "will bo preserved undam
aged for posterity."
Sons of tho presidents of the Unit
ed States, he said by comparison,
have been less timorous. Without
mentioning by name his father-in-law.
Colonel Koosevelt, .Mr. Long
worth said:
"All four sons of a former presi
dent have been at the real front,
thro of them married men with
children, upon whom there was no
possible legal obligation. One has
perished gloriously- on the field of
honor, two have been wounded, one
so seriously that he has been invalid
ed home; the only one who has
escaped injury has been decorated
for conspicuous gallantry In action."
Ho added that a son of the only other
living ex-former president, referring
to former President Taft, was at tho
front, and said that if President
Wilson had been blessed wflh sons of
fighting age, they too would have
been on the firing line.

AT GOLD HILL
SEPTEMBER 15
COHVALLIS, Sept. 10 Agricul
tural lime will be in production at the
statu owned lime plant by September
l.r, neeortiin to expect a tion.s of the
Mate lime board. Operation of the
plant has been deluyed by inability ot
the board to obtain some necessary
machinery, reports Dr. A. It. Cordley,
chairman.
'The state law provides that the
board shall sell lime to farmers in
carload lots only, and for eush at the
fjuaries," said Dr. Cordley. "Farm
ers who contemplate ordering lime,
therefore, should make provision,
either individually or collectively, to
order carlots and send checks with
order. The price to be charged will
be officially determined nt the next
meeting of the board, but from con
versations with members of the board
I feel cpiite sure that the intinl price
will he $1.75 a ton f. o. b. Gold Hill,
with provision for rebate should a
lower price he possible."
Orders for lime on the basis of
1.75 per ton may be sent to the
superintendent of the state lime plant.
Gold Hill, Ore. They will be filled in
the order of their recipt.
Revised rates on agricultural lime
have been established by the South
ern Pacific company as follows:
Not over 30 miles, 70 cents a ton.
50 miles, I0 cents; 80 miles, $1; 100
miles, $1.10; 140 miles, $1.30.
Dr. Cordley has been advised by
the war priority board that agricul
tural lime has been placed in the pre
ferred lists in both fuel supply and
railway transportation. This makes
it possible to operate the plant and
jret transportation over th's railwn
lines promptly a pulverized lime is
held to be essential to fond produc
tion. "This will be pood news to western
Oregon farmers, " said Dr. Cordley.
'many of whom had hejrun to fear
that transportation facil(l:es would
be hu-k in, ; and they wonUt be unabh
to tret lime from the otete owned
plant."

SINGING TO BE
On the 15th day of August the
county chairmen of the men's com
mittees for the fourth Liberty Loan
campaign met In Portland and there
assigned one very definite piece of
work to the women of Oregon, that
of taking charge ot ".Mother Day"
which Is Sept. 21st, and planned for
the mothers of men at the front,
their Idea hcing that on that 'day
there shall he a street parade of tho
mothers In every city, town and vil
lage In the state. In an lntervlow
with Mrs. Dolroy Getchell, who Is at
the head of the Woman's Liberty
Loan committee for Jackson county
It was disclosed that the women were
welt organized all over the county,
have been quietly at work for some
time, and the campaign well-launched.
Sirs. Getchell says: "I hope to
get a record of every mother In
Jackson county and that wo may
have one hundred per cent of Oregon
mothers participating in this beauti
ful celebration for our hoys over
there. Inspired as we are by their
heroic efforts and great accomplish
ments I feel sure that all will bo
glad to do honor lo them on this day.
"There wilt be none of the custom
ary floats usually seen in parades
but Instead we plan to have this a
great procession of song, both the
full choral societies of Medford and
Phoenix taking part, and the parade
ending in a community "sing" in the
public park where speeches will also
be made.
"We will be called upon for a much
larger loan than at any previous time
and the task of raising the required
amount is of such magnitude that it
will require the fullest cooperation
of every individual.
"It would ho excellent If womon
could purchase bonds wit'a money
either earned or Buved by themselves.
In this way we women would fed
that we are doing our utmost In this
branch of war work as in all others.
We hope to have the hearty coopera
tion and help In this campaign of
every woman la Jackson county."
From Sept. 21st to Sept. 2Sth Is
pledge week and the committee
hopes to raise the full quota during
that time. The parade will be In the
evening and tho singing led by well
known .vocalists. Every one who
roads the newspapers and magazines
knows by this time the value of song
"In the ranks" and at homo, and in
this history Is but repeating Itself.
The "community sing" is being made
much of all over the country and it
Is hoped will be a successful venture
the evening of the 21st in our own
city.

AMSTKKDASi, Sept. 10. Discn
ion is iifiiiin rife in Germany over
the iiv:c-liinjr question of a .Mittcl
Kurnpn with the l'ru&siuu dynasty
ut its head.
The Cologne Gazette although,
holding extreme annexationist views,
holds up to contempt the need of u
union with Austria und the other Teu
tonic allies. In a recent issue, it
comments on this plan us follows:
"So much is being published about
rent nil Kurope (.Mittel-Europn) nmt
the necessity for an econoujie union
between Germany and Austria that
we are too apt to regard the whulo
scheme as one meeting with general
approval.
"In reality no' such union of opin-"
ion exists, ns the interests of tho two
countries arc too divergent. Our
exports to Austria-Hungary repre
sent only 10 per cent of our entire
trade.
"In German industrial circles the
idea prevails that too close n com
mercial union with Austria would pre
judice our chances in other markets."
