NEW STAMP TAX
LEVIES HEAVILY
ON BUSINESS
Uncle Sam to Take Extra
Nickel on Each Pack
of Cards
Beginning to-day, a tax of one cent
on every parcels post package bear
ing twenty-five cents postage, or
more, will be levied, according to the
new revenue law. Special revenue
stamps may be purchased at any
post office or substation, for the pay
ment of this tax. but the use of reg
ular postage stamps is not per
missible.
The sender of the package must
affix the stamp and cancel it by
writing his initials across the face,
bul g.-eat care must be taken so
that Mie sender does not write upon
the regular postage stamps. Pack
ages upon which the postage is twen
ty-four cents or less, will be ex
empted from this ruling. Revenue
stumps must be affixed to bonds of
indemnity or indebtedness, capital
stock issues, stock transfers, produce
sales cn exchange drafts, promis
sory notes, conveyances and deeds,
customs house entries, steamship
ticket's, proxies, assignments of p'ow
er of attorney, playing cards and
parcel? post packages. No stamps
are required on checks. In addition
to the old tax of two cents on play
ing cards a new tax of five cents is
ini rosed, so that Harrisburgers who
wish to play cards will have to pay
seven cents tax on each deck of un
cut cards.
Stock Tnxc<l
On issues of capital stock the tax
is two cents for each SIOO or frac
tion, using the face value as a basis.
Stamps are to be affixed to the stock
books. not to the certificates of sale
and exchange. The government ex
pects to derive a large revenue from
this course alone, and contributions
from Pennsylvania and New York
state will be greatly increased under
this ruling, since there is much han
dling of stocks in the Philadelphia
and New York exchanges.
For produce sales on exchanges
the tax is two cents for each SIOO
of value of the merchandise covered
by the agreement, and stamps are
to be affixed to the memorandum or
bill of sale. The law covers trans
feried or scratch sales and sales for
fi'ture delivery.
Bonds Must Pay
Bonds of indebtedness are taxed
five cents for each SIOO of face value
or fraction and renewals are classed
as new issues. Indemnity and surety
bonds are subject to a tax of fifty
cents, or one per cent of the pre
mium charged for the execution of
the bond. Bonds or policies of re
insurance are exempt.
A tax of five cents is levied on
each original issue of certificates of
stock, either on organization or re
organization, face value of SIOO or
fraction. To meet the practice in
some states of issuing stocks without
face value, the new war tax low
provides that in such cases the ac
tual value of the stock shall be the
basis for taxation.
Deeds Arc Hit
For drafts or checks payable other
than at sight or on demand, and
for promissory notes and their re
newal, the tax is two cents for each
SIOO or fraction. This levy will lay
a burden particularly on the bank
ing business. Ordinary ■ bank checks
are not taxable.
Realty conveyance and deeds are
taxed fifty cents where the value
of the interest conveyed is between
SIOO and 500, and fifty cents for
each additional SSOO or fraction. De
duction may be made of only a lien
or encumbrance remaining on the
property at the time of sale.
The entry of goods at a custom
house for consumption or warehous
ing is taxable twenty-five cents when
the value is not more than $100; fifty
cents when the value is between SIOO
and SSOO. and $1 when the value ex
ceeds SSOO.
Passage tickets to transAtlantic,
South American, or other ports not
in the United Sates, Canada or Mex
ico are taxed according to a sliding
scale running from $1 on tickets
costing between $lO and S3O, to $5
for tickets costing more than S6O.
' Proxies for voting at any meeting,
except of religious, charitable, fra
ternal, educational or literary or
ganizations, must bear ten-cent rev
enue stamps. For a power of at
torney the tax is 25 cents.

Reduction of Ten Cents a
Pound Tax on Colored
Oleomargarine Urged
Washington, Dec. I.—Reduction of
ten cents a pound tax on colored
pleomargarlne both as a war meas
ure to increase the production of
food fats and as a means of actually
yielding more aggregate revenue, was
recommended in the annual report
of the internal revenue bureau Is
sued to-day. Another recommenda
tion prompted by war conditions
was that the government should as
sume control, manufacture and use
of narcotic drugs needed so badly for
Red Cross work.
The report cited the $809,393.000j
internal revenue receipts for the fis
cal year ending last June 30 as "the
largest in the history of the bureau,"
buyt pointed out that even that rec
ord would be broken by the estimat
ed receipts for ilie current year un
der the new war tax law of $3,400,-
000,000. The greatest source of taxa
tion was distilled liquors, the pro
duction of which showed a marked
increase dispite the extension of pro
hibition territory.
New York led the states In
amounts of tax collections with
$190,000,000. Illinois was second
with $88,000,000 and Pennsylvania
third with $83,000,000. • ,

Convict Leasing Plan
Is Attacked in South
Birmingham, Ala. —A movement
is under way in Alabama to have
the leasing of prison management
abolished. Efforts arc also to be
made to have other laws enacted
for the betterment of prison condi
tions. including laws for workable
parole, suspended sentences. Inde
terminate sentences, probation, sup
port of the dependants of convicts
by a portion of the convict's earn
ings, vocational training in prisons
and prison schools. The prison
schools now in operation in Alabama
are not conducted by the state.
Isadore Shapiro, president of the
Alabama committee on prisons, and
a member of the State Legislature,
indicated the scope of the move
ent in an interview with a repre
sentative of The Christian Science
Monitor, and added:
"It is undeniable that the prison
problem of Alabama has been light
ened by the inhibition of the traffic
in liquor."
"Our present organization." he
said, "is now fighting for the repres
sion of the lease system. We are
incorporating into our militant
agenda of the times a crusade for
the reclamation of the prisoners,
many of whom have been wronged
rather than offending.
"In our determined war for jus
tice among nations, we should not
overlook justice within nations, for
international injustice will be ex
terminated only when individual
justice shall have been established.
"There are people in Alabama
who are determined to right these
wrongs, who know that conviction
for crime does not mean final social
condemnation. A vibrating social
conscience in Alabama nas proclaim
ed that the ineffective method of
dealing with crime and its perpe
trators must cease. We are now
in the social trenches, the political
front. Complacency ebbs, the mu
tative era is advancing."

WAR COMMITTEE
TO BE NAMED HERE
(Continued From First l'ae)
proximate about one thousand men.
and about five hundred women, who
will be appointed into committees
and subcommittees.
This organization will always be
ready for service, and at any time
there is a war fund drive, a war or
ganization membership drive, or a
war publicity drive, the various parts
of the organization can be set to
work at a moment's notice, thus
saving much valuable time that has
heretofore been devoted to organiz
ing committees and formulating
campaign methods.
Every One Must Work
The members of the committee
will wear a badge or some other in
signia of membership, and will have
to earn the insignias they wear by
their earnest efforts. Every person
will be appointed to membership in
the great committee when he lias
shown ability in some special line ofc
work, and the work asked of him by
the committee will be along that
line in which he excells. Thus all
the members of the committee will
not be put to work at the same time.
In a finaucial drive the members
familiar with that line of work will
be set to work, in a membership
drive, other members will work, and
so the greatest amount of efficiency
will be developed by careful hand
ling of the abilities of the members
of the great organization.
Intensely Democratic
Members of the committee will be
selected from all walks of life and all
forms of occupations. It will be an
"Organization of Doers," and will be
expected to live up to its name.
"We want this committee to be
intensely democratic," Mr. Jennings
said this morning. "All kinds of peo
ple, taken from all walks of life, will
be needed to do the work right.
There is a strong current of opinion
in business, professional and political
circles that such an earnest and ef
ficient body of workers is needed to
do the civilian war work at home,
especially in view of the fact that
there will be so many war fund and
war membership drives during the
war. If we find the plan successful, it
will be enlarged to embrace the en
tire county."

Readm# matter for a whole year
for the wliole family
Every famliy should take at least three perio dicals—the best newspaper published, the best
monthly magazine published in the United States, and the best magazine devoted to woman
and the home interests. • ♦
The Harrisburg Telegraph has made arra ngements with two magazines—The Ameri
can Magazine and the Woman's Home Companion—to make you an offer which will not
only provide your whole family with the very best of reading matter for a year, but will
save you money.
• • #
The American Magazine
To read The American Magazine regularly is like talking to a wise, experienced man. Because The
American Magazine is made up of what other men have done—how they solved their difficulties, how
they achieved success, how they secured good health.
It is written by statesmen, doctors, lawyers, business men and by a staff of experienced writers who
interview other men, until it is the most valuable publication that any man can read.
It is not a mere business magazine, however. It has many bright, entertaining 6tories.
It is a magazine for the whole family, but with the special idea of offering helpful suggestions on
important questions.
Woman's Home Companion
If the Woman's Home Companion were a woman about your own age, and came to see you once a
month, she would be the most welcome guest and the most remarkable guest that ever set foot in your home.
You never knew a woman who could tell such fascinating stories—you would sit up till all hours of the
night listening to her tales.
You never knew a woman more incpiring.
You never met a woman who knew so much about so many different interesting things.
You never saw such a hand in the kitchen —so many new ideas, as well as sensible notions about the
every-day planning of the housework.
You never met a woman, even if she had just come from Paris, who knew so well the proper thing
in gowns.
You never met a woman who could tell you so well what other women were thinking, and doing, and
eating, and wearing, and how they were bringing up children.
If the Companion were a woman, instead of a magazine, you would be all a-flutter of expectancy
when the time came for her arrival. That is just what the Companion is like. When you know it, you
want the Companion as a guest in your home every month.
