From British income tax ex-
perience tables, the experts
figure that the annual revenue to
be derived from income taxation
under the terms of the pending
bill be from $4,000, 900 TO $780,
000, c in writing the new
ARR rates the Ways and Means
Committee has taken cognizance
lof Ills probable revenue and has
Hoped off Duties on necessities
yhich under the present Payne
Aldrich Law aggregate 100000
annually. This $4,000, 600, now
paid by the people in the cost of
living, is t. be paid out Of the
income tax revenue.
But every dollar saved in tar
tiff amounts to five or six dollars
n the final retail prices paid by
the consumer. This is because
the many middlemen who handle
AN article from the stage of raw
material to that of finished pro
duct each assesses as profit a
certain percentage Of the value
of the commodity he handles. But
in assessing this profit he in
cludes the tariff in the value Of
the commodity. Thus the people
pay not only the tariff but also
pay profits on the tariff. Every
dollar Of increased price for the
raw material assessed by the
tariff becomes five or six dollars
by the time it reaches the com
sum.r.
Representative Cordell Hull
of Tennessee, the member Of the
Ways and Means Committee who
drew the income tax provision,
prophetically sees the day when
{ all government revenue will be
derived from just two principal
forms of direct taxatiOn-the I'M
J. come tax and the inheritance
tax
"The rates in the pending
+ bill are bat tentative" he said
They can and will be changed
:, by succeeding congresses.
"rhe measure is designed to fl
in with the budget system o
estimating government expenses
y The day will come when govern
le ment expenses will be appropriai
y ed for in an annual budget bll
On the basis of this the amour
is of revenue needed by the gov
1t eminent for the succeeding yea
y will be estimated. In order t
to raise Just the revenue needed
j. Congress will set the neon
n, tax rates to fit the case. Their
y, will be few customs duties. Their
4 will be, however, an inheritane
to tax to relieve some of the ia:
le burden on Incomes"
lie The estimates of the Ways an
Means Committee show vivid
how wealth has concentrated i
n this country. Although income
is of as low as $4,000 per year WI
e. be subject to taxation, yet les
u than one per cent of our tot'
Id population is affected by tn
bill.

Wilson Has Made Good


Woodrow Wilson has already
made good as President OF the
United States. You may verify
this from the first man you meet
in the street, regardless Of his
political creed, race, or color. II
seems to be in the air every
where. The people appear TO
und 9rstand that Woodrow Will
son is on the job in Washington
working carefully, courageouSly'
and concientiously, in their IN
terest. and they stand ready to
hold up his hand as often as he
may need the backing OF the
public sentiment.
President Wilson's action IN
reading his message to the mem
bers of Congress face to face is
being applauded everywhere
Here is the story of the Presl-
dent S visit to the Capitol, told
minutes.
- :42-Cahinet meeting adj

1:OO-Begins speech.
1:OS-Finishes speech.
1:l1-Dons coat in Speakers

1:1S-Reaches White House

Thus It took but SO minutes
to smash a precedent of III
years.
An immediate cut of 100000,
900 in the cost of living-event
ually a SLASH of half a million
That is what the Democratic Lead
ers OF the House believe the IN
come tax will be for the America
people. The relief promised by
the Democratic party for tn
terrible pressure of the costs o
the necessities of life seem to b.
at hand.

five years ago he went to Lex

Office and at the time of his death
he was actively engaged in the
real estate business. He was a
successful business man and by
hard work and honest dealing
had amasseda handsome fortune.
Although he had made the Blue
Grass his home for several years
he never lost his love for his ma

ago he had business interests
here and even after he closed up
his business he never failed to

Big OIL Deal.

Rumor has it that DR.. S. r.
Collier has closed, or is about to
Gloss, one Of the biggest oil deals
that has ever been pulled off in
Eastern Kentucky Doctor will
neither confirm nor deny the ru-
NOR. He is playing the "clam
act" to perfection; but the fact
that the well at Camel City is
pumping steadily more than 800
parrels per day and the product
is selling for $1.35 per barrel, to-
gether with the steady influx of
oil men into the county, leads US
to believe that the rumor is well
founded.
The Home Oil Company, at
Camel City, abandoned the well
near the postoliice after drilling
AZ feet in the sand, or a total
depth Of about 1850 feet. Only
a small showing of vil was found.lI
The Prater Fork Oil Co. shot
their well Tuesday. We are in.
formed that they have a light
producing well.
The Elk Oil & Gas Co. shot
their gas we'll on the Josh Nc
Claim farm on Elk Fork yester-
day. Up to the time of going to
press we had not been able to
learn the result of the shot. It
was a good strong well when first
drilled in and it is reasonable to
suppose that an so quart shot Of
has developed. a much
stronger flow of gas.

Chairman McCOmbS on
The Country Press.

VIM. F. McCOmbs, Chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, in an address before the mid
winter meeting Of the Arkansas
Press Association held at Little
Rock recently gave a large Part
of the credit for the nomina-
tion and election of Woodrow
Wilson to the influence exerted
by the democratic country press.
Mr., McCombs said:
IF | were asked to pick out
the greatest single influence
in the country, it would be
the country newspaper. Every
page Of it is read 'patentin insides'
and all. / know, because I have
studied the matter-in fact |
have sent out a good deal of boil
er plate myself.
"A man cannot write a column
of news matter without writing
an editoral-putting his own o.
pinion into it. One doesn't have
to look at the editorial page to
gather opinions every reporter
in a sense is molding public opin-
ion. | used to think reporters
were etheral beings, plucking
news items out of the air nobody
ever seeing them. But find that
reporters are intensely human.
If you take a reporter into
your confidence you need have nc
reason to worry, but if you don't
God help you: In the past two
years | have had occasion to see q

We expect to stock all our
streams with the finest of game
fish, and in due time we shall in
troduce imported quail, pleas
ants, deer, etc. 1t will require
the cooperation Of the good cit
izens Of the county
to do this, because the Govern
ment willno send fish to streams
where the people will not protect
them from vandals and violators
of the law; and, Of course, we
could not get the game birds and
animals until it is made apparent
that our good citizens are in SYM

will assist the game wardens in
the enforcement of the law.
Many good citizens are work.

openly, and some whose names !

result is going to produce some
unpleasant surprises when the
