aRYAN's INVOCATION
PEACE.
FOB

Fortunate indeed are the people
Of this country that Wilson instead
Of Roosevelt is now its chief magis-
trate, and doubly fortunate that big
hearted, peace loving Bryan is sec
rotary Of state. In a recent speech
at Lincoln, Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan Of
fered the following prayer for peace:
t'r.The peace movement-God speed
it in its passage around the world.
I pray God that He may help US to
make it unnecessary that this gov
eminent shall 60 to war with Mex
leo. / do not want men to die be-
fore guns for their country. I want
them to live for their country. }1

PAYING THE INCOME TAX.
From the Telegraph erald.


Time has arrived when everybody
considering himself affected by the
4 income tax law should give it atten-
ton. Tie duty is imposed upon
every person having a net income or
{ $4,000 per annum to make return
+ Of his gross and net income to the
collector Of internal revenue for the
4 district in which he resides. All OF
Iowa is embraced in one district and
4 the office Of the Collector is at Du-
4 buque. Many suppose that they must
await demand by the Collector or
one Of his deputies before making a
return. These persons are mlstak-.
en-. The law puts upon the taxpayer
the duty of asking for blank on
which to make return. Failure of
a taxable person to observe this re-
$q,lirement is punishable by a penal
ty OF, from $40 to $1,000 and it is safe
to assume that the penalty would be
at least twice the amount OF the tax
it was sought to evade. There are
heavy penalties also for fraudulent
returns.
In deciding whether he is person
with met" income of $4,000 a
year, the citizen needs reminder that
Liz tSIAA AL I1lIS uoC6S hAp AASSAAASN
to exclude from consideration as
income only the income from gov
eminent bonds and the bonds OF a
state or any political subdivision
thereof, and income received as an
officer or salaried employee of
state or any political division there
of. It is not intended that in de-
Gliding, in connection with the ques-
ton Of whether or not he has net
income of $4,000 a year, the citizen
shall take into account the spectre
exemption of $1,000 allowed persons
married and living together, or the
deductions permitted by, the law to
be made from gross income, such as
business expenses, depreciation,
losses, etc.
One fact Of the new law which is
not generally understood is that 1t
repeals the corporation excise tax
law and with it the specific exemp-
ton Of $1,000 allowed corporations.
The latter must, for the whole year
1918 and thereafter, pay taxes on
their entire net earnings not mere
y on their earnings in excess OF
S, 900.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY CON-
2 ss FERENCE.

The progressive party leaders OF
this state held a conference in Des
$Moines last week and formally
launched their 1914 campaign.
Those present pledged funds for
the establis ent OF permanent head
quarters in Des Moines, and adopt
ed platform nearly in line with
President w ilson's policies. Take
this plank sor exampl lei:
I'VE oppose an invisible govern
ment by special interest through
subsidized press and professional
lobbyists working in secret.f for the
purpose Of securing unjust legislla'--
ton and special favors. /"
Has not President Wilson, in the
short period Of ten months, done
more ito destroy the influence Of Sc
cret lobbyists than all Of his pre-
3decessors during all o. the years
since the establishment Of "a this
government? Isl, .,5s 3. q. (.
Congressman Connolly was at $%Des

the United Commercial Travellers

platform, and the following opinion

evident: 4 KS ,s Y
1T seems to me that the Bull;
!Moosers will have to pull all their
strength from the republicans. Sure:
lly the democrats cannot complain OF
President Wilson'S progress iyenesss.
1t looks very much as though there
would be repub lican and pro-
gressive candidate for practically
,aYery office OF any consequence in
lowe this year. When the demo-
scratsS were embarrassed by condi-
lions, similar to those which now
ibeset the republican party, partisan
legislatures passed statutes prohibit
ing two or more parties from nom
mating the same candidate for any
office. We have always believed
that those statutes were, an unwar-5
ranted interference with the rights
Of the electors, and for that reason st'ltl 1
unconstitutional. In any event they
had no higher purpose than to give
the: party then in power a political
advantage. Now these statutes stand
up a deadly menace to their auth
lors, like that high gallows that
5Haman erected in the days OF Ole. s3

It is quite probable that several
judges will retire from the federal

will do we'll if he is able to fill
their places with men who are as
capable, Just and humanity loving
as the retiring judges. =

Washington, July 21.-The United states

respectively. urging that they present in
a most friendly yet effective manner the

effect that villa was preparing to CON

hold himself aloof from Carranza's au-
