KEEPS TAB ON BUSINESS
MACvEAGH ISSUES STATEMENT TO CORPORATIONS.
Business Establishments Are Divided Into Six Classcs-Efforts to De- ceive Government Will
 Re Punished.

Washington, D. C.. Dec 12.-More than 100000 corporations Tn the Unit ed States will have to make their re- turns in conformance with the new tax.
 Secretary of the Treasury Mac veagh has issued 8 very comprehen- sive statement for the government of those corporation officials. The state- ment Is calculated to covef any ques- tions of classification and distinction which might arise in the making of the reports, and 1t sets forth in terse language what the government ex- poets.
 Secretary Macveagh's statement plainly begins with the statement that the government expects returns to be made to conform with the in- tent of the law and that the law had two intents--first that 1t should be a revenue producer for the government and second to levy a tax of one per cent. on the net income of corpora tions as provided in the law. After concise definition of what is con- sidered net income with the law the statement says:
 Tt Is clear that the purpose of the law was not to put a tax on receipts. but a tax on profits and that the terms met income" and gross in- come" are used because while they are practically identical with gross profits and net profits. they are yet more embrasive and consequently per- init more comprehensive administra- tion of the law"
 For convenience and facility in classification. corporations have been divided into six classes. They are in- surance companies. transportation companies. manufacturing companies. mercantile companies, and misceilan- eous corporations.
 The statement makes detailed ex- plantations of what can be considered gross income. net income, and defines what other terms used in the state ments are held to be within the law. Inaccuracy Is expected In some of the returns, the statement says. and 1t Is expected they will be from two causes. The first is honest error and the second is intent to defraud the government. Honest errors will be corrected, but any attempts at fraud will be met with vigorous prosecu- ton.
 The regulations do not call for spe- eific methods of keeping accounts or any other particular method of book keeping. The requirement. is simply ttlhat the, hpstp esss tEaRsa ctieps, be so fdafe and verified When necessary.

 The handlers who have raced dogs from Manitoba to Alabama have seen that the winner of the derby at Leto- hatchie will be a dog that will blaze the path for all the others to follow They wisely decided that 1t would be useless to start a dog in this derby who has not shown form and class dur ing the past season.
 For that reason out of the original list of the sixty-three nominations for the derby but nineteen were placed in the dra awing Sunday night, all but the very highest class of derby dogs were
 The scratches assure field that will be balanced and classy in the extreme.

THIRTY DAYS LONG ENOUGH

"The people are very tired of poli- tics. They were greatly outraged at the lack of necessity of the late con- stitutional prohibition campaign and l am sure they desire to be let alone for a while"
 These words constituted the keynote of former Governor Jelks's expression of his antipathy to early primaries in general, and to an early one for the next gubernatoriai campaign especial ly.
 The former governor spent Sunday in Montgomery and at the Exchange Hotel Sunday evening. he talked of the feasibility of short political cam paigus In view of the fact that he has been mentioned as a possible can didate for governor in the next cam. paign. Mir. Jelks was reticent when questioned on the state political situa- ton. He would not commit himself as to whether he win run for the exec utive office again.
 q am not in favor of early primaries" he said. ''I think the date to which attention was called by MT. E. J. Campbell during the third week in August, Is advisable. Fur thermore, I would like to see some established date settled upon for future primaries. 1'~ '7f
 Tt would be a material advance for the industrial and commercial inter- ests of the state to minimize political campaigns. The English people have campaigns of only thirty days length. think thirty days. or at most sixty days. is long enough for any guber- material campaign.
 For the campaign next year. July 1 ought to be soon enough to fire the oueDinR political guns"
 Mir. Jelks declined to discuss the condition of the state treasury He has advocated. in public speeches. an amendment to the constitution pro- viding for empowering the Governor to issue bonds in the event of deficit fin the treasury.
 MT. Jelks will return to Birmingham Monday morning. ss ss@ h Co SPECIAL DEEP SPRING wHiskEY,

 Turning to his own office, Secretary Nagel tells of the work of improving the personnel of the service. The secretary lays down the principles that the government is entitled to "a days work for a days pay" and agrees that. the pay should be com mensurate with the work performed.
 Because of the low salaries estab- lished in some of the grades 1t was found impossible Mir. Nagel says to get civilians capable of the work at such salaries.
