J Oct. 4. The first definite figures of the exact num ber of new buildings that are to be erected at Camp DIx under the recent orders for enlarging the cantonment became known yesterday when It wns learned from one of the officials of the contracting firm here that '300 new barracks were to be finished by the first of November. Lowest esti mates of the additional accommodations thus provided would be placed at 45,000 men. The construction of tho cantonment as originally plinned will bo finished Sat urday. The original plan called for the training here of 42,000 men The recent orders Increased tho nccommodutlng space of the camp 30 per cer.t This vvo'ulil he tho tame as utilising tho original quarters to accommodate about 2:1,000 men. This would mean that Cnmp DIx will eentunlly houso about 75,000 men and gives support to the persistent rumor nnd gofcslp that Camp DIx will eventually have n soldier popula tion of 30,000 men nnd that It will be the largest cantonment In the country, and also to the belief that tho camp will be an embarkation camp whero troops from other cantonments will be concentrated. Construction of the remount station, which Is to accommodate about 15,000 horses and mules, Is ngaln under way after having been discontinued for several week-", so that moro men could be put on the build ing of barracks. The remount station will be one of the most picturesque spots In camp when com pleted, for tho purpose of a remount station is to break horses for military use and to net as supply depot from which trained horses can be supplied at n moment's notice for service Although the cavnlry Is vlr tually an obsolete arm of the service so for In this war, there are many military ex perts who bollcc thnt the time Is coming when cavnlry will be Invaluable In tho offense. But the horses that will be trained here will not bo trained so much with this in view as it will be to train them for the artillery and ambulance work nnd for of ficers' mounts. The horse does not play the Important part In war he formerly did, but there are times when motorized batteries and automobllo ambulances have to gle way to the faithful horse who can climb and travel over roads and fields thnt are Impassible to motor-drawn vehicles, and at such times none but trained horses are of any use. The remount stntlon will hae all the atmosphere of the wild and woolly West of yore. There will be corrals, real cow boys and broncho-.busters from tho West to break In these untrained horses. In order to harden the animals they will be stabled out of doors. A staff of etcrlnarlan officers nre already nt the camp, and these will have an enlisted personnel of several hundred men under them to take care of the animals. There will be two hospitals and equipped with operating rooms and two convalescent stables for rundown and Indls posed horses. Shipments of mules have al ready begun to arrive. Yesterday being the Wednesday half holiday, thousands of visitors swarmed Into the cnmp. The Inadequacies of Wrights town ns a. vacation and amusement center are never quite so apparent as on Wed nesday afternoon, when the little village fairly bulges with rookies, who wnnder aim lessly around In an "all-drcssed-up-and-no-place-to-go" manner, looking for some ex citement nnd some place to sper.2 money. About the only vice that they Indulge In Is an orgy of near-beer, and one bottle gen erally suffices even the most bacchanalian of rookies. EXTRA TAX BURDEN PUT ON SALARIED MEN All Receiving in Excess of $6000 Must Stand Additional Levy of 8 Per Cent 11 V a Staff CorrcioiiiIdi WASHINGTON, Oct 4. Salaried men receiving In excess of $GO0O, and already booked for a heavy tribute to the Government under the regular provisions of the new Income tax, In all probability will have to pay still an extra tax of S per cent on the amount they get In excess of that sum. It Is thus that tho Treasury Department has unofficially ruled regarding section 209 of the new revenue bill Just passed. In other words, the man who gets, for ex ample, a salary of $7500 a yqnr will have to pay. In addition to the $203 tax ho pays In Income taxes, a tax of $120, being 8 per cent on the difference between $6000 and $7500, or a total of $325. Section 209 reads as follows: That, In addition to the taxes Imposed' by existing law and by this act, In case of a business or trade having no Invested capital or not more than n nominal In vested capital, there shall be levied, ns. sessed and paid In lied of the tax Imposed by this title jttho excess war profits tax on corporations), a tax of 8 per centum of the net Income only of such business or trade. In excess of $$000 In case of a corporation and $6000 In case of a part nership or individual COVERS SALARIES Treasury officials point to the fact that the expressions "trade" and "business," as used In this section, are defined elsewhere in the revenue bill (Section 200) to cover professions and occupations. That being the case, It Is Btated, the section would seem to cover all salaried men In all lines of business or other occupation getting In ex cess of $6000 a year. This view of the scope of the provision was later n the day Indorsed by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who, how ever, dented the prolslon was slipped Into the bill as a Joker, He admitted, however, that though the man of salary Is saddled with this extra levy of 8 per cent the man who enjoys a $60,000 Income from tax exempt bonds escapes it entirely. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS EXEMPT The discrimination does not trm with this, however. Members of Congress who learned of the existence of Section 209 for the first time today, despite the snlrlted denials that it was a "Joker were some what aghast at first at tho' thought that It would apply also to them, with their salaries OK $7500 each. Subsequently, however, the good news was circulated that salaried of. flclals of the Government would be exempt from thla provision under other safecuardk lp the bill. Section J00, which defines what "trade" and "business" mean wherever used in the act, has this to say : This title shall apply to all trades or business of whatever description, whether continuously carried on or not, except (a) In the care of officers and employes under the United States, or any State, Territory or the District of Columbia, pr spy local subdivision thereof.

Tho most important Piece of legislation was the Introduction of n skele ton temporary loan bill which, It Is under stood, will later bo filled out In the amount of 11,200,000. OAFKNEY DISCUSSKS AUT Chairman Joseph P. Onffney, of Councils' Finance Committee, In offering the trnnsfer for the Johnson nrt collection, recited the provlrlons under the noted lawyer's will making the time limit of acceptance Oc tober 14, and said: "The' six months designated will expire October 14, 1917. Councils, by ordinance passed prior to tho summer recess nnd npproved by the Mayor, accepted the gift. authorized and directed the ainyor, on or beforo October 14, 1017, to enter Into n written contract with the executors nnu trustees of tho will, complying with Its provisions nnd appropriated the sum of $500,000 for the purposes In connection with said gift. "At the time of tho adoption of the or dinance referred to, It was believed that the sum appropriated would bo sufficient, but on September 10 the City Solicitor In formed tho Mayor by letter that the John son Kstnte had been appraised nt $0,327. 014.84, of which the bequests and delse to the city amounted to $4,611,408 As a result of this appraisement the city will need, In order to pay United Stntcs nnd Stnte taxes, extra Insurance premiums, es timated cost of fircpruofing. maintenance, etc., $400,000 In addition to the $500,000 al ready appropriated. "Although tnken by surprise. In tho un timely season of a most unusual nnd ab normal year, the Mayor and the Finance Committee recognized the great alue of this gift, the respect due the name and memory of a I'hllndclphlan whose every achleemcnt added luster to the city's name, and that cllc pride demnndcil nt nny cost that this splendid collection of a great citi zen should not be surrendered to our sister city, New York. Lery city and county de partment wns therefore asked to make Its contribution from moneys appropriated dur ing the year. The result Is told In thin amendment to the pending transfer bill. "Opinions may differ as to whether or not Mr. Johnson should have provided for the payment of these taxes out of tho balance of his estate, but there can hardly bo nnv difference of opinion that the Stnte and nation should exempt from taxation gifts of this kind to municipalities. UnOKS LEGISLATION "In an effort to meet this and like situa tions In the future, so far as Pennsylvania was concerned, nnd to sao for the city the greater part of this largo expenditure, tho City Solicitor caused to be Introduced In the last Legislature, on May 7, n bill (II. II. 1859) the purpose nnd effect of which wns to exempt from the payment of collateral Inheritance tax this and similar gifts made to the city. Unfortunately that bill, like many others, beneficial to the municipality, failed of passage "Indeed, It has been Intimated that Mr. Johnson provided In his will as he did to focus public at'entlon upon this unfair fea ture Im our tax laws, Hut be that as It may, tho fact remains that unless present leglslitlon Is amended the city may, In the future, find Itself unable to accept gifts of this sort and thereby bo deprived of adding to and enhancing the value of its already acquired works of art. Philadel phia, already a great world center of In dustrial and professional life, Is now- en gaged In spending millions In the erection and equipment of a great art gallery, where It Is hoped to Install many of the world's It is a value not to be measured by inches or dollars. It is a value based on the broad thought, liberal research and con scientious practice of four generations of the world's greatest piano-makers, combined with the cumu lative effort of nearly 50,000 skilled artisans suc cessively striving to per fect the detail of the con sistent Steinway purpose, It is a value to be meas ured by its formative in fluence in all that is best In music and its constant quickening of musical taste and talent. It is a value altogether out of proportion to the fixed price ($550 upward), which Is but little in excess of the cost of inferior pianos.

"Odds and ends'' of unused appropria tions have been carefully gathered to gether so that Councils can provide for the pay of highway employes. The Hem for ths account Is among the first pay Items to become totally exhausted and others of a similar nature will have to be provided In the near future. Little bal ances here nnd there have also been gath ered together to make up the pajment on the art collection.

To make up pressing needs, thousand of dollars have been tnken from Items In the Purcnu of Chnrltlcs, n total of $168,000 has been taken from supplies, a department that already Is unable to make payment for goods purchased, and election expense money has been taken from the Counly Commissioners.
