SENATE INCLUDES FARMERS IN TAX ON OCCUPATION

Taxation Imposed by House on Theater Proprietors Approved by Senate Finance Committee. WASHINGTON, October 12 The senate Finance committee in revising the war tax revenue bill today approved a business or occupational tax. House provisions placing a tax of 10 on all persons "engaged in any trade, business or profession" whose gross receipts exceed $2,500 were adopted after being amended so as to include farmers whom the house had exempted. Announcement was made that amendments which would furnish some relief to farmers would be considered later. In considering the special tax section ihe committee accepted, with some changes, house imposts upon brokers, proprietors of amusement places, tobacco manufacturers and buyers of new or used automobiles and motorcycles. Sections levying special excise taxes upon the capital stocks of corporations were temporarily passed over, but these may be taken up Monday. Auto Tax Amended. The house tax of $100 on brokers was cut in half by the committee which amended the section so that the sale of a stock exchange seat for less than $2,000 would be exempt from Federal tax. House schedules taxing proprietors of theaters and other amusement places on the basis of seating capacity as well as the section levying $200 against circus owners, were accepted. The provisions exempting chautauquas, lecture lyceums, agricultural and industrial fairs and exhibitions under the auspices of religious or charitable associations, as adopted by the house, also was accepted. The proposed 10 per cent tax on slght-Beeing automobiles, based on their gross receipts, was amended so as to place a flat tax of $20 on each car seating more than seven persons. A new section was added, fixing a rate of $10 on each passenger automobile seating not less than two persons nor more than seven used as a public conveyance. Imposts against tobacco manufacturers were approved without amendment. House imposts on new or used automobiles, other than electric, to be paid by the purchaser, were reduced onehalf. The committee also reduced the tax on electric automobiles from 5 per horsepower, as provided in the bill, to $2, and the weight tax from 50 cents to 25 cents for each 100 pounds.

Chester Y. M. C. A. Worker Finds Men in France Eager For Religion

CHESTER. Ind., Oct. 12. Herbert Kendall, formerly of this place, recently promoted to secretary of the division to which he is attached in the overseas Y. M. C. A. work, has written the following letters to his mother, Mrs. Martha Kendall of this place: On Active Service with the American -Expeditionary Forces. " September 15,1918. Dear Mother: I am staying away from church this morning to write to you and am glad of the chance. ' Since I am in charge of the district here instead of a hut, I have more responsibility and also a little more freedom. I have a Ford car and can go and come when I please. Just now I am much interested in getting Christian Endeavor started among the soldiers and have two or three live ones already .in different camps. There are hundreds of boys who have been members in the states and are hungry for such things over here. I am planning to bring a French boy home with me. His name is Chas. Hubert and he is 16 or 17. He's an orphan boy, his father was an English sea captain and his aunt has raised him ever since he was two years old-. He's a fine gentile boy with no bad habits and is a very good worker. He speaks English well and French better. There will be lots of work he can do. We are needing a lot of Y. M. C. A. men in this district, could use 500 more. Some of us are doing five men's work. They tell us there are more on the way and we hope so. My last plans are to sail about November 15 or 20. We are entering the rainy season now and they are frequent. Once in a while we have chilly nights and some scorching hot days. They are calling breakfast and I must go, With much love, HERBERT. Sunday, Aug. 25, '18. My dear Mother: We are having frequent rains now, as is always the case here in the fall. I'm trying to get a month's rest at the end of my year for 1 haven't taken a day or a week off scarcely since I've been in France and I'm somewhat weary. ; ' I'm going to try to spend it in England on my way home. WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. Ronald Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Ryan of Chester, was recently made a sergeant at Camp Custer, Mich. Wallace Kendall, formerly of Chester, now located at Camp Devens, Mass., is improving from an illness. ' Earl Thomas, who is at the Radio school at Great Lakes, is in the city on a furlough. Kent Lemen, son of Mrs. Anna Lemen of North Tenth street, who is located at Wilbur Wright field in Dayton, Of, has been made a sergeant. Matthew Von Pein, who has been located at Great Lakes Navy school, has been transferred to the radio school at Cambridge, Mass. Carl McClure of North Fourteenth street, has received word that his brother, Kenneth S. McClure, has arrived safely overseas. Mrs. Mary A. Price, 215 North Fifteenth street, has received word that her son, William Price, is ill with Spanish influenza at Camp Grant, 111. He has been ill for four days. Mr. and Mrs. George Cates received a cablegram announcing the safe arrival of their son, Lieut. Julian Cates in France last evenig. Lieut.

E. Stevenson, is ill with spinal meningitis at Hampton Roads, Vo. Two other sons, one in France in aviation corps and another on his way overseas, are in the service. "Y" HELPS FIGHT FLU EPIDEMIC "Just a line to let you know where I am, and what is doing." writes John L. Livingstone of the Main Hospital detachment at Great Lakes, in a letter to Orville Bruson of the Y. M. C. A. "During the epidemic of influenza" he continues, "the Y. M. C. A. played a big and important part. They sent telegrams, ran errands, wrote and mailed letters, phoned messages, called for mail, delivered notes, bought fruit, papers, milk, and candy for the men in the sick-bays and hospitals; attended to the sick, taking temperatures, sponging their fevered bodies, shaving the convalescents, securing quarters for the sick. They tried, did and are doing a hundred things daily for the men preparing to engage in the struggle for democracy. The Y. M. C. A. have had their casualties too, three of the personnel dying of influenza, and more than a score of them contracting the diseases. "The men appreciated the services of the 'Y' so well, that they sent notes into the bulletin office requesting that the work of the 'Y' men be described in the Bulletin, so the public might know how much had been done. "Well this is just a note to let you know how we appreciate your association and to say that we are willing to back you in your campaigns, as should the people at home. What would the man in the service do without the services of the Y. M. C. A."

Last week I made a trip to Bordeaux, buying things for the boys. There are so many things they can't get and they weren't allowed to leave camp so we must do their errands. ; I keep a stock of 500 watch crystals on hand and replace them for them. Some of the boys I know are on the front now and we. are getting reports from them. " The little French children are trying to learn English and as we drive along the roads they shout "goodbye" at us, meaning "hello," but tiuiy get the wrong word. Tonight we had a wonderful Christian Endeavor service organized a week ago. The boys are all active virile aort of fellows and their Christianity is very real. - These are interesting times to be in we are expecting great things during the next year. America will prove herself a wonder, I'm sure, for getting things done. It's late bed time I must roll in. Goodnight and much love, HERBERT. September. 6. 1918. Dear Mother: Right now I'm extremely confused or pleased or I don't know just exactly what I've been promoted to the secretary of this division, and have charge of the work in this whole camp as well as eleven camps in outlying territory. , It came as a surprise and is the biggest job I ever had as far as supervision is concerned and it staggers me to think of the men to be reached. We are having fine Christian Endeavor services every Sunday night. The testimonies of the men are wonderful. Last Sunday night the topic was prayer. One man got up and said that sometimes during the afternoon or while on the grind of military duties he would stop and find himself simply brimming over with happiness and lightheartedness, and he would ask "My God why am I so happy?" and then the answer would come In the thought, "Why my mother back home in the kitchen, and father out on his mail route are praying for me." and then he said "I can make them contented and happy too by praying for them." It was a wonderful testimony and the way he put; it did a lot of good. We get things like that right along from the men and they are a fine lot. Well, here it's supper time, and I must get my "mess-kit" and get in line. I wish it was to be firied chicken and mashed potatoes in good old Indiana style. There's nothing like it. Goodbye for this time, with love, HERBERT.

INDIAN SOLDIERS CAUSE "NERVES" AMONG ENEMY

WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN PALESTINE, Oct. 12. Correspondence of The Associated Press. Silent death in the blackness of night, the fate of unnumbered Turkish sentries surprised at their posts by patrols of Indian troops with the British army, has imposed upon the Ottoman soldiers a wholesome respect for these dark-skinned fighters who have replaced many white contingents sent to other fronts. The cleverness of the Gurkhas at stalking has had a terrifying effect upon the minds of the Turks, who are constantly finding their men dead at advanced stations, with nothing to betray the coming and going of the foe. The result has been a case of "nerves" among the enemy, prompting constant alarms. Gurkhas and Sikhs, eager for active fighting, are continually suggesting raids and sectional attacks, unconsciously answering the exultant predictions of enemy publicity organs that their substitution for whites would open the way for an early Turkish offensive which would sweep the British forces from the country. In action the Indian troops are as keen as in anticipation of it. Their approach, even after the warning of a barrage, inevitably is so swift as to take the Turks completely off their guard. Recently in broad daylight Gurkhas reached unobserved a point within close range of the enemy trench. They rushed it and without firing a shot, killed fifteen Turks and brought back as many prisoners. Only one of the attackers was wounded. . A subaltern in charge of a party of the Indians had an extraordinary experience in this raid. He had stuck his bayonet into a Turk, but was unable to disengage it, owing to the narrowness of the trench. Another Turk nearby began jabbing the butt end of a rifle into the officer's ribs. Suddenly the Englishman saw his assailant's head leap from his shoulders, a Gurkha having dextrously decapitated him with his kookhri, an invaluable weapon in close quarters. GLEN WAGNER IS DEAD IN FRANCE Glen Wagner, son of Henry Wagner of 1138 North J street, is reported in Saturday's casualty list as died of wounds. Wagner was reported severely wounded some time ago. He enlisted in the army about a year ago, at which time his brother, Harry Wagner, also enlisted. CUT THIS OUT IT IS WORTH MONEY PONT MISS THIS.

MflDTflMR TTMJQS The Motor Truck today is the only logical way of transportation. You don't have to wait on slow freights or express, you can make deliveries anywhere and at anytime you please, in fact it is the best way to keep your customers satisfied by getting there FIRST. The upkeep of a Motor Truck is very small even cheaper that the old horse delivery methods. Night and day on long haul and short haul the Motor Truck is lifting the over-load from the railroads. To help relieve the over-burdened railroad facilities, the Council of National Defense urges use of motor transportation. Every motor vehicle in America has a vitally important work to do.
