The examinations made by the local draft
koiyds were cursory when compared with
the careful checking up thn Is made of
each army candidate by tho doctors at Lit

army doctors have opportunities to observe

and that this enables them to detect phys

a hasty examination.

CAMP DIX, Wrlghtstown, N. 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

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.

tention of both branches of Councils this
nfternonn. 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.
The big transfer bill that carries changes
of about a half million dollars and that
was passed at today's session, Is a fair
example of the financing resorted to nt the
close of tho first year that city really hat
been burdened with nn Increase In tnxes.

of Councils' Finance Committee, has been
asked to turn over the balnnt'c of money

has been expended In the entertainment
of visiting delegations from foreign lands
