Reports from Scottsbluff show that
despite an extraordinary amount of
free publicity and the combined sup
port of business men and clergy, the
recruiting of a company for the Ne

Business men are urging their em

enlistment from the pulpit and both

moTie palaces, but somehow enthu
siasm doesn't seem to pump up as
rapidly as it did In the stirring days
when the United States entered the
war. The term of enlistment has
been cut down to as little aa one

A big howl is going up from the
newspaper fraternity over the pro
poned bill In congress to levy a tax of
10 per cent upon all advertising in
newspapers and magazines with a
circulation of over 6,000.. Newspa
per men are long-suffering and for
giving cusses. The smaller weeklies
are being driven out of business by
the hogglshness of their larger
neighbors, who are bidding against
them in the open market for print
paper. The fact that print can now
be purchased in Canada for 11 cents
per pound less than in the United
States shows only too plainly that
the small newspaper, which has been
accustomed to pay not more than 4
cents, is due for a hard time. Yet
the first fellows to rally to the cry
of distress of the dallies are the men
who have been used worst by them
Maybe, if such a tax were imposed,
the big newspapers would voluntarily
reduce the size of their editions un-
til the crisis is past, but in all prob
ability they would simply raise rates
and boost the paper prices higher
than ever, . , , , - i ...
