Knoxville to Surpass Its
Success of Last Fall
President TAFT Notable Visltor-EN
position in Interest of Entire
Appalachian Region.

So successful was the Appalachian
Exposition, held in Knoxville, Tenn,
during the fall Of 1910, that the enter.
prisipg business men Of that thriving
city have determined to repeat the
great exploitation again during the
present year.
Accordingly, announcement is made
that the Appalachian Exposition of
1911 win be held in Knoxville, Septem-
Der II to October l, inclusive. Prep
arations that have been consummated,
and plans that are now being devel-
oped, indicate that the exposition of
this year will far surpass that of 1910.
This assurance being positive, guar.
antees that the exposition of 1911 will
be the greatest undertaking of it's kind
ever projected in the South. The
achievement which the efforts of the
promoters are realizing is highly cred
liable to Knoxville and to the entire
Appalachian region, and the whole
south as well.
The Appalachian exposition of last
year attracted national attention.
Visitors attended from practically ev-
cry state in the union. The bulk of
the patronage was from the Appalach-
ian states, Tennessee. North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia,
The resources and developments of
these states were exemplifed in the
exhibit buildings, and though very
complete, the displays of this year bid
talr to be superior in every particular.
In addition to the instructive feat
ures, the exposition of the present
year will include an amusement pro-
gram, the like of which has never
been seen before in the South A great
constellation of midway attractions
mas already been contracted for, and
others are being obtained from day
to day. The result will be a midway
that will be spectacular and dramatic
in the fullest sense, and that will
entertain the thousands of visitors in
a most interesting manner.
Among the visitors to the exposition
next fall will be President William H.
Taft, Governor Woodrow Wilson, of
New Jersey; Gov. Harmon, of Ohio;
Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the ma

Dividends of Mutual
Insurance Companies
Taxable as Income

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Cabell today de-
cided that the dividends paid by mutual
and participating" insurance companies
to their policy holders are subject TO
assessment as income under the corpora
tlon tax law.
The companies contended, according to
the commissioner. that these dividends
were not dividends I'm the commercial
sense, but simply refunds TO policy hold
ers of an oyercharge In the insurance
premium. Some OF them admitted, he
added, that exigencies OF business and
competition had resulted In the COM
panies making misrepresentation OF
facts as to dividends TO their prospective
purchasers OF insurance"
About 100000 revenue to the govern
ment was involved in the decision.
1t was vigorously asserted by counsel
representing certain Of the companies
that II was necessary in determining this
question OF taxatioR to disregard entirely
the policy contract, the published liter
ature. the representations OF officers and
agents and the sworn returns from state
authorities
The commissioner holds that the con-
tentions OF the companies Is untenable.
Not only dividends paid In cash are tax
able, according to the ruling, but also
those applied TO the renewal of premiums
to shorten the endowment or premium
paying periods or TO purchase paid UP ad-
ditons and annuities.

Wisconsin Delegates
May Be Kept Out Of
National Conventions

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 2.-Consterna-
ton reigns in political circles here over
the discovery OF technicality in the re-
apportionment act which threatens the
rejection of Wisconsin delegates to
national party conventions.
The law of 1909 provides that the names
of delegates to a national convention
shall be certified not less than fourteen
primary election.
The Wisconsin primary is to be held
on Tuesday, April g 1912 and the latest
day on which names may be submitted
to the county clerks for the purpose of
making up the ballots is March 10. 1t
Is therefore necessary to certify the
names according to the old congressional
districts, as outlined prior to the passage
Of the new apportionment act.
On April l. 1872 the new apportionment
act goes into effect. The delegates to
the national convention selected under
the old law might be held to be irregular
inasmuch as the new law went into
effect before the vote actually was held
Moreover, the time for certifying the
names to be voted upon at the April
election is fourteen days before the
election and inasmuch as only one
day will elapse before the new apportion-
ment law goes into effect, not only would
such certification be illegal. but IT would
be impossible Of realization in time fol-
the election.
The situation is embarrassing particu.
larly to the republicans, among whom the
Taft and LaFollette men are fighting
for delegates and to the democrats, who
are divided into Harmon and Wilson
sympathizeTs.

He had some sleep. He is conscious to-
