NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
BY Gibson Gardner.
Washington, Jan. 14.-The Hon
orabIe ]. c. McReynolds, attorney
general Of the United States, is
strong on precedent. Because of the
''unbroken precedent" he has re-
fused permission to newspaper men
to see and talk with Ricardo Flores
Magone, now a prisoner at McNeilps
Island penitentiary on the Pacific
coast.
Magone is a Mexican patriot, and
a political prisoner. He was. con-
Victed of helping to organize the
Mexican revolution, but unfortunate
Iy he disregarded the imaginary line
which runs down the center of the
Rio Grande river and his "conspir-
acy" against the Mexican govern
ment was prosecuted in part at least
on this side of the border. COnse-
quently he is in Jail. But there is no
reason at all why the governmental
authorities should refuse permission
to see this man.
His offense is purely political; he is
not a dangerous criminal, and he is
being punished for the same reason
that George Washington and Patrick
Henry would have been punished if
King Georges officers had been able
to lay hands on them. But Attorney
General McReynolds is strong on
precedent, and there is no prece-
dent for permission being given in
such a case.

Early returns on the income tax in
dictate that less than five per cent of
the population will contribute to the
governments support under this new
law. How much less than five per
cent is still to be determined. The
great secrecy which surrounds the
enforcement of the income tax makes
more difficult the gathering of any
valuable data on this Sort
Rulings made by Attorney General
McReynolds and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo are designed to
safeguard in every way. the privacy
of the very rich. Enough is shown
already, however, to justify the con-
clusiOn that less than five per cent
of the population will pay income
taxes.
In Great Britain it is found that
one-half the entire income in the
United Kingdom is enjoyed by one
ninth of the population; also that
one-third of the entire income of the
United Kingdom is enjoyed by one
thirtieth of the population. When the
returns are more fully made in this
country and the ban of secrecy is
removed the public may learn just
how many people do own the United
States.

Turner was elected president. The other officers doubtless will be named today and the bureau placed upon firm basis.
 It was pointed out at the meeting re- gently that a convention bureau. if prop erly handled, would mean much to the hotel men and business men of Birmng- ham. It is believed that with Sl0,000 a year bureau could be maintained and many conventions brought to this city that otherwise would not come here. As the hotel men would receive the chief ben eft from such a bureau, it is thought they will be it's chief supporters.
 The Chamber of Commerce has offer d the use of office space, telephones, clerical help, free of charge to the bureau, in the event it is formed. Secretary w. C. Rad cliffe of the chamber has about as much work he well can take care of, and 1t is believed it will be decided to engage an expert to handle the convention bureau alone.
