PERSONAL TAX

LAWS SAYS TAX DUE

But of Course No One Elk
poets That the Entire Tax
Will Be Paid Today

Personal tax payments Cid not man
,ifest themselves in overwhelming num-
bers today, although according to the
law laid down by the wise solocs re-
sponsible for the unnecessary burden
the tax became due and payable to-
day.
But of course it will not be paid
today; that is it all will not; neither
will any considerable portion of it.
An examination of the Law shows
that there is no definite or fixed per-
iod in which it can be paid beyond
today.
Technically it is due today and must
be paid. This does not necessarily
mean that those who will not pay 1t
tail end of the winter in Jail.
The collectors are all most amiablo
gentlemen. They are desirious OF af-
fording to the eligibles every consid-
Grafton. They are even inclined to
deal mercifully with their newspaper
critics. They are not encyclopedias
in the sense that they are expected
to Guido the Roentgen rays in guess
ing what the law makers meant when
they said the tax was "due and pay
able today"
Therefore those who did not come
forward today and separate them
selves from the 1.-TWO spot" can do so
tomorrow or the day after or the day
after that and then some other days
after and so on until all the days Of
the Personal Tax Year" are gone.
Hello. Is this the Personal tax Of

phone, this noon.
"It isl replied one of the collectors.
'tWill I be arrested if I fail to pay
"Not today" was the reply.
'T thought the bill said the tax was
due and must be paid today. Will you
exnlain what that means"
The collector said it meant just
what he said but that the interroga-
tor need not worry If his tax was not
be afforded him.
In walked Mr.. Joseph Daupiease of
HOLSTER Heights. sturdy appearing
able bodied man. Said Mr.. Dau-
is bill you sent me. I am over so
years old and not liable for this tax.
I would like to pay it just the same.
But how can I pay when I am with
out money. Give me work, gentle
men that is all I ask and I will pay
this tax gladly. I need work not only
that I may pay the tax but also that
I may live as an honest man should"
The collectors assured Mr.. Dau-
please that they were not in posi-
ton to provide employment for him
and that if he brought proof he was
over 60 years of age they would glad
ly remove his name from those liable
to the tax.
Mr.. Daup1ease replied that he didn't
care about that, what he would like
to get was a chance to earn money
to pay the tax. He left the office and
all to-.
lost in the incoming and outgoing
groups of city employees imported
from other cities by the a6ministra-
ton.

Rioting was resumed, tonight. Fol-
lowing direct orders from Yuan Shi
Kai, the loyal troops fired into the
mob which was moving toward the
killed and the mob fled, only to ap-
pear later in other sections of the
city.
So serious was the situation con-
sidered that the various legation
grounds were barricaded. As long AS
the majority of troops within the city
remain loyal to Yuan he can control
the situation. It is feared, however,
that, when they learn of the success
of the nutineers in securing much
very valuable loot, they too will be-
come dissatisfied and may abandon
their chief. 1t is this later conting-
ency that is causing the most worry
at the foreign legations.
