What It Is, anil the Purpose of It As
Explained by W. G. McAdoo.
The Congress of the United States
has authorized the secretary of the
treasury to sell to the American people bonds of the United States bearing four per cent interest, with valuable tax exemptions, and convertible
under certain conditions into other
issues of United States bonds that
may be authorized by the 'Congress.
The official circular of the treasury
department gives full details.
There is now offered to the American people a new issue of §3,000,-
000,000 of bonds to be known as the
Second Liberty Loan. They will be
issued in such denominations and
upon such terms that every patriotic
citizen will have an opportunity to
assist the government by lending his
money upon, the security of a United
States government bond.
It is essential to the success of the
war and to the support of our gallant
troops that these loans shall not only
be subscribed, but oversubscribed.
No one is asked to donate or give his
money to the government; but everyone is asked to lend his money to the
government. The loans will be repaid
in full with interest at the rate of
four per cent per aninum. A government bond is the safest investment
in the world; it is as good as currency and yet better, because the government bond bears interest and currency does not. No other investment
compares with it for safety, ready
convertibility into cash, and unquestioned availability as collateral security for loans in any bank in the
United States.
People by thousands ask the treasury constantly how they can help the
government in this war. Through the
purchase of Liberty Bonds every one
can help. No more patriotic duty
ean be performed by those who can--
not actually fight upon the field of
battle than to furnish the government
with the necessary money to enable
it to give our brave soldiers and sailors all that they require to make
thom strong for the fight and capable
of winning a swift victory over our
enemies.
We fight, first of all, for America's
vital rights, the right to the unmolested and unobstructed use of the
high seas, so that the surplus products of our farms, our mines and our
factories may be carried into the harbors or every friendly nation in the
world. Our welfare and prosperity
as a people depend upon our right of
peaceful intercourse with all the nations of the earth. To abandon these
rights by withdrawing our ships and
commerce from the seas upon the
order of a military despot in Europe
would destroy prosperity and bring
disaster and humiliation upon the
American people.
We fight to protect our citizens
against assassination and murder
upon the high seas while in the
peaceful exercise of those rights demanded by international law and
every instinct and dictate af humanity.
We fight to preserve our democratic
institutions and our sovereignty as a
nabion against the menace of a powerful and ruthless military autocracy
headed by the German Kaiser, whose
ambition is to dominate the world.
We fight also for the noble ideal of
universal democracy and liberty, the
right of the smallest and weakest nations equally with the most powerful
to live and to govern themselves according to the will of their own people.
W.e fight for peace, for that just
and lasting peace whicli agonized and
tortured humanity craves and which
not the sword nor the bayonet of a
•military despot, but the supremacy of
vindicated right alone can restore to
a distraieted world.
To secure these ends I appeal to
every man and woman who resides
upon the* soil of free America and enjoys the blessings of her priceless institutions, to join the League of Patriots by purchasing a Liberty Bond.
W. G. McADOO.
EVERYBODY CAUGHT
IN NEW WAR TAX
Its Levies  Begin at tlie Cradle and
Bo Not Stop.Even at the
Grave.
ANN AKBOR CONCERT SERIES
Tax on Incomes Ranges from 1 to 50
Per Cent and Is Expected to
Raise §600,000,000.
The 12,700,000,000 war tax bill
which was up for final passage in. the
house of representatives Monday,
"catches" almost everybody from the
cradle to the grave.
For good measure, it levies a few
new taxes on the heirs.
Baby's first dash of talcum powder
will, under the two per cent mcr.*i-
facturers' tax on cosmetics, help
Uncle Sam carry on the war-and after
death the federal collectors will be on
hand to get the inheritance tax, at
advances on the present rate of from
one per cent on $50,000 to ten per cent
on $1,000,000. Between birth and
death most of man's activities would
be taxed, voting a proxy at a meeting
of a cemetery association being one
of the few specially exempted.
Those who have profited! most by
the war, the recipients of enormous
excess war profits-, will pay the most
to help carry it on. . More than half
the total amount of the bill, or about
§1,110,000,000, is to be collected from
them.
Letter Writers Affected.
The person who writes a postal
card will be caught, for cards will
sell for two cents each by the provisions of the bill. Letters will be three
cents. One will be taxed when he
goes to a moving picture show, if the
admission is 'over five cents, one-
tenth of the first cost of the ticket.
That rate will affect all who attend
amusements, from the man in the gallery to the one in the box.
A host of stamp taxes, designed to
raise $30,000,000 also will get the
man with little money in many ways.
His greatest consolation is that the
consumption taxes, which would have
made him pay on coffee, tea and
sugar, were stricken from the bill.
The man of moderate means as well
as the wealthy is affected by the income tax section. Normal rates have
been doubled and exemptions lowered
to $1,000 for single persons and $2,000
for married ones. . Surtaxes for incomes above $5,000 range from 1 to
50 per cent the maximum applying
to incomes over $1,000,000. This section is expected to raise $600,000,000.
Movies and Gum Taxed.
Included in the taxes imposed on
manufacturers are levies of one-quarter cent a foot on motion picture
films; two per cent on the sale price
of chewing gum and three per cent
on automobiles, musical instruments
and jewelry.
Even, drowning one's tax troubles
in drink or sending them up in smoke
will cost more, for the levies on all
lands of drinks and tobacco soar.
The new rate on whiskey is $2.10 per
gallon and beer $2.50 a barrel. Wine
taxes will be doubled and even grape
juice will he taxed a cent a gallon.
A person cannot escape taxes by
travel. Eight per cent is assessed on
passenger tickets and steamer tickets
also pay a tax.
At Schnebelt's Bakery
Howe's Travel Festival.
Whether or not one cares for the
movies as represented by the dramatic variety, everybody does, care for
Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival because of its distinction, dignity and
difference from posed films. Mr.
Howe's exhibition, which comes to the
Whitney Theatre, Ann Arbor on Tuesday, October 16, can always be depended upon to broaden one's mental
outlook, but his new production promises to do so in a peculiarly vital and
timely way. For it conducts spectators aboard our super-dreadnoughts,
sti-ipped for action "Somewhere in
the Atlantic," and so gives every
spectator a new andsfresh conception
of the activities, discipline and manoeuvres of our "Sentinels of the
deep" under the stress of war. The
films radiate the atmosphere of grim
realities, not of pomp or pageantry,
and every foot teems with vital interest to .every true American. Then,
too, the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis, Md., contributes many
stirring scenes from the strenuous
and varied training given the splendid corps of '.'middies." Their tactical exercises are of absorbing interest. Another feature breathes the
spirit and life of our Great West as
it has never been depicted before. It
shows the many tense moments and
hair-raising episodes occurring during real broncho-breaking contests.
It reveals what the west considers
rough-riding - as compared with the
comparatively tame sort seen in the
effete east. There are many other
subjects, such as the perils of climbing Mt. Blanc, the highest mountain
in the Alps, a ride over the Continental Divide via the Great Northern Railway, etc., that make Howe's new program an exceptionally rich treasure
trove of scenes calculated: to give
mind and heart, as Carlyle puts it, "a
real stir-tip."
World's Greatest Artists and Organizations Announced for Early
Date.
Ann Arbor has planned a musical
season of unusual importance for a
series of concerts made up of the
w6rld's greatest artists and organizations has been announced. The
series is so attractive that great enthusiasm has been manifested by patrons and music lovers, and inquiries
and orders for tickets ar.e coming in
from all sides.
With the splendid railroad facilities it is possible for persons for
miles around to attend without too
great inconvenience. The Ann Arbor railroad and the Michigan Central railroad offer convenient service
north and south and east and west,
while the Detroit, Jackson and Chicago electric linee will run special
cars directly to the auditorium immediately before and after each performance. East and west as far as
Detroit and Jackson, respectively,
with connections at these points. All
concerts will begin at S:00 o'clock,
Central Standard Time.
The first number announced is a
song recital " by the world famous
Spanish-Italian coloratura soprano,
Amelita Galli-Curci, whose rise to
world eminence was one of the most
spectacular musical achievements in
generations. Less than a year ago,
although she was well known abroad
and in South America, she was practically unknown in this country.
Charles L. Wagner, the energetic New
York impresario, was the first to recognize her exceptional musical gii't^
and shortly after she came under his
management, two guest appearances
with the Chicago Opera made her
name a household w*ord throughout
the land. In addition to possessing
a most beautiful and exceptional
voice, which has caused her to be
characterized as "The Woman with
the Wonder Voice" her personality is
most charming and her stage presence entirely in harmony with her
splendid artistic accomplishments.
On the occasion of her appearance in
Hill Auditorium, October 11, she will
be accompanied by a flutist and
pianist, which will add variety to her
offerings.
The second number on the series
will bring to Ann Arbor a musician
who by general consent, is recognized
as the greatest master in his line,
Eugene Ysaye, "The Master Violinist
of the World." Ysaye is ai Belgian
and represents what might be termed
the last of the old school. For twenty years his work has been tlie standard by which others have been
judged. It is particularly fitting that
tliis monumental character should be
heard on Ann Arbor's all-star series
at this particular time when Ysaye's
fatherland is laboring under so great
an oppression.
The third number will bring to
Ann Arbor on December 10, Ethel
Leginska, "The Paderewski of Women Pianists." Those who heard her
at the last May Festival when she
contributed a Rubinstein Concerto
with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were so insistent that it was absolutely .necessary for the management to re-engage her at the first
possible opportunity. She will be
heard in a full raejital in a program
arranged for presenting this splendid
artist's many diversified qualities as
a woman pianist whose position in
the pianistic world is unchallanged.
January 16th, Walter Damrosch
will bring to Ann Arbor the New York
Symphony Orchestra, of nearly 100
men, at which time the organization
will-make its first appearance in the
University city. This organization
stands as one of the world's greatest
and is unique from many points of
view. It was founded more than two
score years ago by Dr. Leopold Damrosch, who was at its head for a number of years until succeeded by his
son. During this long period of years
it has been led by only two men, the
older andyyounger Damrosch.
The Pre-Festival Series will be
brought to a close by a recital on
February 15, by Julia Culp, "The Renowned Dutch Singer of Songs." In
the whole world of music there is
perhaps no one whose reputation in
this particular field is more secure
than that of this beautiful young Hollander whose several tours of America have won for her the esteem of
all lovers 'of music. She will be assisted by Conrad Bos, whose work is
such as to stamp him as a most valuable assistant.
The attention of the public is particularly called to the fact that tickets may be ordered by mail at this
time and that all orders will be filled
in the order of receipt, selection being
made as near the location desired as
possible. Patrons' Tickets will entitle the holder of the privilege of securing the same seat for the May
Festival and retaining it for succeeding years, at $6.00 each. Other seats
may be purchased at $4.00, $3.50 and
$3.00 each.
An illustrated prospectus will be
sent to any address upon application
to the secretary, Charles A. Sink,
Ann Arbor.
Roscommon county is credited with
having the largest percentage of enlisted men in] the service of Uncle
Sam, according to population, of any
county in the state.
