otherwise the preset city officials
would hold over two years longer, and
our city charter has contemplated a
change of its officials every two years
should the people desire it.
The writer merely wishes to inform
the people Of our position and to iusti-
ty ourselves against the apparent in
justice of the Lawrence Democrats s
article about our election call.
We do moi intend to be drawn into a
controversy concerning this matter
further. Respectfully
VIM. GILBRETH.
The Act of 1901 provides in sub
stance that each of the four wards
shall have two aldermen making in all
eight, and also provides that majority
OF the council including the mayor
shall constitute a quorum.
The Act of 1911 adds another ward.
The original and the amended acts
must be construed together as one act.
Hence, it follows, that. the 5th or
added ward is entitled to two alder
men and a majority of the counciImen
or aldermen including the mayor shall
constitute majority.

The only proper attitude of civil
lied society toward the liquor traffic
is that of uncompromising opposi-
ton. Not a single apology can be
made for it. There is not single
redeeming feature about it. 1t is
thoroughly and irremediably bad.
only way to make it possible for civ
ilization to march triumphantly to-
ward it's goal is by destroying it. It's
a big task, but not an impossible one.
To hold that it is impossible would
be the rankest kind of pessimism,
kind that ought to be out of the
question for one who believes in
God and in the reality and power of
righteousness.
1T matters not how deep intrenched
the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day
how long;
Faint not, fight on! tomorrow comes
the song"

Dawson Lady Presents Leesburg Lii
brary With American History.
In noting the visit to that town of
Mrs. 1. P. Cooke the Leesburg Jour
nal says:
Mrs. Perry Cooke of Dawson was
a visitor here Monday afternoon
having come from Dawson to Lees
burg to see her numerous friends and
to congratulate Lee county upon its
rapid growth. While here Mrs. Cooke
made a generous contribution of his
torical volumes to the public school
library, expressing her hearty APP
proval of the library and the enter
prise of the school management.
THE cordial interest shown by
Mrs Cooke in these matters is in
keeping with the fine traits of char
acter she has always shown in the
work of growth and development in
Lee county. She has always liked
Lee county and has shown her 10y
atty to it time and again, notwith-
standing the fact that she is a resi-
uenI Oh 1CrTeIl COUNTY. OAe ID great
ly pleased with the growth of Lee
county.
During her stay here, which was
short, as she came over by automo-
bile for only a short visit, Mrs. Cooke
also heartily congratulated the man
agement of the Journal on the rapid
growth of the paper. The Journal,
in her opinion, is far better than
any paper that has ever been issued
in Lee county"

IS NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD. THE
COURTS MUST STRAIGHTEN
OUT PROVISIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Lawyers
who have studied the income tax pro-
vision of the new tariff law predict
that it will be several years before
the courts WEI be able to decide how
all its ramifications shall be worked
out. Officials of the treasury de-
partment and of the internal revenue
division have been working on regu-
lations for it's enforcement ever since
it became law, and they have been
forced to hurry their work all
the more for the reason that the bill
became a law as soon as the presi-
dent signed it.
To Collect at the Source.
Collection of income tax at the
source, the only method which could
insure complete collection, is per-
haps the hardest feature of the law
to work out. 1t may mean that the
man who rents a house for 800 a
month from some capitalist is requir-
ed to pay a part of the sum to the
United States collector. 1t may
mean that the man who buys an in
surance policy for $4,000 is required
to withhold part of the first pre-
MUM for the government if he buys
it direct from the company. If he
buys it from an agent the company
will probably do the Withholding.
These are only possibilities. They
may be removed when the treasury
department completes it's regula-
tions.
Had the law provided that every
man who pays money to another
should render an account of the
transaction to a federal officer so that
the latter could collect on that basis
this would have simplified matters to
the man who made the payment. But
to require him to save out part for
the income tax collector when the
payer does not know the total income
of the payee and hence does not
know what percentage belongs to the
United States, is something else.

TRAGEDY OF WOMEN'S HATS
Starvation Wages Paid Those Who
Make Headgear Sold at Fabu-
IOuS Prices.

There is a tragedy in every wo-
mans hat. 1t seems almost as cruel
to pay girls who make the dainty
flowers in France a pittance as to kill
the birds of brilliant plumage in Bra
zil Thirty cents a day 20 and Is,
with an occasional rs for rare skill
in making roses, deducting for loss
of time and slack work, tells the sto-
ry of wretchedness and woe.
Summed up the average is not far
from $50 a year on which to support
existence. American lovers of the
French millinery will be amazed at
the wages paid young women in
France gifted with def fingers and
rare taste, especially when they take
the prices charged for Partisan hats
into consideration.

INCOME TAX CERTAIN TO MAKE TROUBLE

The paragraph rele to the col
lection of incomes at the source, the
one which is now adding the brains
of treasury department officials, is
as follows:
"All persons, firms, copartnerships,
companies, corporations, joint stock
companies or associations, insurance
companies, in whatever capacity act
ing, including lessees or mortgagers
of real or personal property, trustees
acting in any trust capacity, execu-
tors, administrators, agents, receiv-
ers, conservators, employers and all
officers and employees of the United
States having the control, receipt,
custody, disposal of payment of in
terest, rent, salaries, wages, pre-
muneration, emoluments or other
fixed or determinable annual gains,
profits and income of another person,
exceeding three thousand dollars a
year for any taxable year, other than
dividends on capital stock, or from
associations subject to like tax, who
are required to make and render a
return in behalf of another, as pro-
vided herein, to the collector of his,
her or its district are hereby author
lied and required to deduct and
withhold from incomes such sums
as will be sufficient to pay the nor
NAL tax imposed thereon by this sec
ton, and shall pay to the officer of
the United States government authr-
lied to receive the same, and they are
each hereby made personally liable
for such tax.
Written Application Necessary.
I'm all cases where the income tax
of person is withheld and declared
and paid or to be paid at the source,
as aforesaid, such person shall not
receive the benefit of deduction and
exemption allowed in paragraph C of
this section except by an application
for a refund OF the tax unless he
shall, not less than thirty days prior
to the day on which the return of his
income is due, file with the person
who is required to withheld any pay
tax for him a signed notice in writing
claiming the benefit of such exemp-
tion and thereupon no tax shall be
withheld upon the amount of each
exemption"
All of the above must be Interpret
ed by the treasury officials, and after
that will come the fights in court.
1t is likely that every regulation will
be subjected to the closest sort of
scrutiny by judges. With court de-
lays and long litigation always a
possibility there is no telling when
the mooted questions will be set
tied.

CHANGES IN COTTON GRADES
AT CONFERENCE IN WASHING
TON SOUTHERN MEN ASK 1T.
Conform to Standard Established by
the London Markets. Will Affect
Only Names, Not Price.

Representative
of Southern cotton exchanges today
conferred with officials of the depart
ment of agriculture regarding the
Standardization of American grades
below middling to conform with the
Liverpool revised grades, which be-
come effective next September. The
conference was the outgrowth of the
meeting at Memphis last January,
and the convention at Liverpool last
June, at which it was determined by
| the Representatives of nearly all the
American cotton exchanges to affect
international standard cotton grades.
In Name Only.
At the conference today w. &.
Lawson, president of the Waco cot
ton exchange, told the government
officials that the alteration in Amer
lean cotton grades would be more
apparent than real because the le-
vised Liverpool grades practically
conform with the government grades
except in name only. He pointed
out the ACCESSIBILITY of fixing stand
ard grades in that it would simplify
the marketing of American cotton in
foreign markets He said that in
his opinion and those of his associ-
ates all the American exchanges
would follow the example of the gov
eminent and adopt the new uniform
grades,

AS a matter of fact the govern
ment issued twenty-one thousand five
hundred and fifty-four fewer liquor
licenses last year than the year be-
fore. The increase in tax receipts
was occasioned by the fact that the
liquor dealers were compelled to
withdraw from bond vast quantities
of brandy and whiskey, which, be-
cause of the spread of prohibition,
they had been holding for number
of years.

Visional government to induce Gen

revived considerable interest here to-
night in the Mexican situation.
State Department officials were with
out advices about 1t, but were keenly
Interested In possible developments.
There was disposition to doubt
whether an election could be held in
which the Constitutionalists would
agree to participate. unless General
Hucrta withdraws from all connection
with the government. 1t was appar-
ent. however. that Washington off,
cials here would look with favor on
any movement that would bring about
Il suspension of hostilities

added to-day to the anxiety of the
Washington administration about for

gravity to the situation
The dispatch OF British ships to Mex
lean waters occasioned no surprise to
the State Department, as there had
been previous indications through ofi-
cial channels that there might be sent
extra ships to look after British in
tcreSts.
Officially 1T was stated that the nulli-
hcatlon by the Mexican Congress OF the
last elections and the confirmation of
Huerta's assumption of the provisional
presidency would not alter the policy
of the Washington government in Its
determination not to recognize the
IIuerta regime.
