INQUIRIES AS To
INCOME TAX
Returns Under New Law Must Be
Made Before March I

Many inquiries have been made re.
Gently in regard to the new income ia,
law. which is now in effect.
The subject is one easily misunder-
stood. The tax is payable To the gov
eminent collectors of internal revenue
during the month of June, but returns
must be made by those affected by
March |. When the returns are all
in, the work of figuring the assess
ments will he finished While the
payment of the regular income tax
does not fall due until June. there is
this exception: Taxes that have been
withheld AT the source Interest on
bonds mortgages, etcD may be paid
any time before June.
The state is divided into two dis
iricts the western and eastern. The
western includes the upper peninsula.
Each district has one collector, either
especially appointed by the govern
ment or by the regular attaches of the
internal revenue office. Several days
ago deputies We're appointed for this
district, who will assist in the office
and field work.
No Exemptions for Corporations.
The taxes on corporations are the
same under the new law as under the
old only that there are no exceptions
Under the old law there is no cXemp-
ton. Corporations which last year
paid given tax on income. and have
this year the same amount on taxable
property will pay $50 more.
The collectors believe that people
are not benerally inclined TO cvade in
any manner either the required re-
turns or the payment of the ASSESS
mcnts fhe general sentiment among
the people is that "A principle of JUS

The corporation tax of this district

THE CHURCH AND HER CRITICS.

She is not political enough for Cal
phas, but she is too political for Pi-
late; she is not sensational enough
for Herod; she is too sensational for
the Pharisees. She is too ugly for
the Greeks; she is too beautiful for
the Puritans. She is too dogmatic
for the modern religious mystics;
she is to mystical for the modern
scientific dogmatists. She has either
over-emphasized or under-empha-
sized every element of truth which
the world acknowledges her to pos
sess. She is too ascetic in her teach
ing of celibacy; she is too imprudent
and unphilosophical in her teaching
on the married life; she is too leis-
urely contemplative for the philan-
thropists; she is too active and zeal
Gus for the spiritually minded. She
is too rationalistic and precise in her
theology for the sentimental; she is
too sentimental for the rationalists.
She is too hard on the heretics; she
is too easy towards the sinners

Belfast and bigotry are synony-
nous terms. Carson, on behalf of
the Obstetrics, has spoken of Catholic
intolerance. The figures belle his
statements, as the following will
show. The Board of uardians pay
$4,000 a year salaries. Catholics
receive $3,400 Of that sum. The
Harbor Commission pay $35.645 in
salaries. One Catholic in their en-
ploy receives $3.50. There is one
Catholic on the pay roll Of the Water
Board. He receives 1855 per annum.
But the salaries paid out amount to
$4,000. The city pays $S43.615
per year in salaries. Catholics re-
ceive $685. Of this sum. There are
twenty-five medical officers and but
one is Catholic. A Catholic mayor
has never been elected in Belfast.
Protestants hold 80 per cent Of the
government offices Of Ireland. Hence,
It is easily explained that the relig-
ious issue in the Home Rule Bill is

SPIES MAKE CAPTURE OF
NANIUR POSSIBLE

The fall of Namur was due largely
to the work of German spies, accord
ing to a Times correspondent in
Belgium.
Zone of the principal features of
Namur's defences was the River
Meuse," says the correspondent in
Analysing the fall of the city. 1.-THE
Germans assisted by spies, managed
to open the tide gates of the Mouse,
thus lowering the waters which were
extremely deep. They were then able
to cross the river.
when the Namur commander saw
that resistance was impossible with
out reinforcements, he tried to rally
all the forces from the outlying forts
to the main points of defense, but
owing to the work of the spies he
found his underground telephone
system destroyed. He was thus un-
able to direct his campaign or to
summon achievements"

1RELAND's FINANCES.

Reviewing the clauses of the Home
Rule Bill, as passed by the British
Parliament, friends Of Ireland will
be impressed with the distribution
of finances and taxes. as they are
arranged for the operation of the
Bill. Under the Home Rule Bill
Ireland will have charge of the ex-
penditure of her taxes for the ben
eft of Ireland and all taxes raised
in ireland will go for the support
of ireland itself. Under the provision
of the Bill, this is one of the most
important features of the act. and
is, in itself, an opportunity to place
Ireland on strong financial basis.
which is one of the most important
factors in the career of nation at
tempting to establish any measure
of self government.

UNJUST AND SELFISH.

England's attempt to prevent the
United States from shipping goods
to neutral countries for fear they
will eventually get into Germany is
one of the boldest attempts at sup
pressing American trade that ever
has been made. There is no justifi-
cation whatever for this attitude. It
is not up to England to undertake to
prevent a neutral from shipping to
or from a neutral, and England's
interference is morally and legally
unjust, and intensely selfish as we'll.
It is further evidence of the fear
that the United States will, while
England is at war, get foothold in
the carrying trade, and a larger entry
into the world markets-the very
thing that England herself did while
the United States was in Civil war

JEWS OPPOSE ACTIVITY OF
CHURCH FEDERATION.

The activity existing in the
Church Federation, for the purpose
of bringing about Bible instructions
in the public schools, has brought out
some caustic comment from the of.
fetal organ of the Jewish organiza.
ton Of Cleveland. Ohio. The Jew.
ish people believe in attending to
their religious matters themselves
and have never ATTEMPTED to influ-
ence the public worship of their
neighbor through school channels,
Hence. the attitude Of the Jewish
people is an important one, as 1t re-
fleets the spirit of Bible teaching in
the public school from the stand
point of the Jewish religion. The
following article, taken from the
Jewish Independent. Of September 4.
1914. is worthy of note.
The organization known as the
Federated Churches Is still at 1t.
The morning papers tell US that
"the Federated Church officials are
working out a series Of scriptural
reading for devotions in the public
schools and that the suggestion will
be submitted to the School Board
in few weeks"
The Jewish Independent hasn't
the remotest idea what these "scrip-
tural readings" are to be. They may
all be selections from the Old Tesla
ment. Even so, every Jew, every
Jewish organization in Cleveland
must oppose it.. 1t is an injustice,
forced upon the minority by the ma
jority which must not be tolerated.
1t is against the spirit of the Con.
stitution of the United States and
the time to stop it is now, before the
schools open.
Are the Federated Churches ready
to admit that their Sunday Schools
have been failure and that they are
forced to use the taxpayers money
to instruct their children IN re-
ligion?
The same Federated Church lead
ers and principals of high schools
have, it is also stated in the daily
papers. been comforting on a plan
of getting special talks on ethics in
high schools by pastors and laymen.
While there can be no objection to
ethical instruction, ministers. rabbis
and priests must be kept out of the
public schools. Their proper sphere
is the church and Sunday school.
The Irish standard., 1914-10-10
PEACE SUNDAY.

The Catholic clergy throughout the
country responded to the President g
call for public prayers for peace on
Sunday, October 4th, and assisted in
special services conducted in the
Catholic Churches throughout the
land that peace might prevail among
the disturbed nations of the world.
In Justice to the Catholic Church
and the Catholic Hierarchy, it should
be explained that in every Catholic
Church, since the day war was first
declared, prayers have been offered
for peace, both on Sundays and week
days. Pope Plus X, of beloved men,
DRY, asked the Catholics throughout
the world to join in prayers for
peace, before the actual conflict be-
gan. Catholic bishops directed the
priests in their diocese to offer up
special prayers for peace at every
Mass. To use the explanation OF
Archbishop Ireland it may be that
Divine Providence will not see fit
to end the conflict at once but that
the prayers may be answered in some
other way and that all will finally re-
dound to His greater glory. The
Catholic Church in this instance, as
in every other instance. where a
worthy object is at stake, has been
the first to realize that the divine
Author Is the only source of guild
ance and protection and that the
Catholics are ever the first to turn
their minds and hearts in supplica-
cation to the throne of the Almighty.

THE SLAUGHTER CONTINUES.

Press censorship, over the war
news, has the result of leaving us
with but little information concern
ing the conflict in Europe. Nothing
except minor details, which have no
bearing upon the general outcome,
find their way into the public press.
While. on the other hand, dispatches
are filled with accounts of individu-
al instances of atrocities committed,
one side charging the other with the
most atrocious outrages in connec-
ton with the conduct of the war.
Cablegrams from London serve only
the side of the conflict that London
sees. The British cable monopoly
has certainly revealed it's strength
and its policy in pro-British advertis-
ing. All the press dispatches, how
ever. agree that the greatest conflict
that the world has ever known has
been in progress continually for over
three weeks. The battle lines extend
over distance of 1875 miles and
two million soldiers representing
Germany, France and Great Britain
are engaged in human slaughter.
France continues to be the battle
ground and the Germans have done
we'll in protecting Germany from des-
olation and combining the war in the
territory Of the allies. There is no
immediate prospect of the slaughter
ending. Each side has been pouring
in continual streams of recruits and
the only prospect of conclusion
would be exhaustion. No decisive
battle has been waged, altho Ger
many has been on the offensive since
the war started. Now that the bust
ness of war has been in progress for
over two months, and seems to have
settled down to an uninterrupted
slaughter, recruits to the various
armies are not pouring in with the
same enthusiasm. Many with the
desire of experience imbued with the
spirit of adventure. hasten to join
the ranks, thinking the entire affir
would be merry lark, and that the
Germans would be beaten into sub
lection within few weeks, have
changed their minds, and, as the con-
La -
es. England is advertising much
activity among her recruiting agents.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
English will fight England's battles.
Had not the slaughter under Crom-
we'll taken place, Ireland might be
able to spare few of her sons far
better than she is able to do at the
present time.

f1ict, why should q little nation, with
population less than the population
of the great metropolis of the British
Empire. be compelled and induced to
join in a struggle between nations
whose populations amount to many,
many times her own? A country
without q government of her own
entering into a conflict waged by
the great nations of the world is sui

declined by Switzerland, by Spain,
by Portugal. by Holland. by Sweden,
by Norway. by Denmark. and the Uni
ted States has written the name of
Columbia in glittering memorials be-
cause of her stand for neutrality and
peace. Why. then. should Ireland
take the bait? Has the English Gov

them to take advantage of this long
delayed modicum of liberty? Will the
native son of Ireland, who has fool
ishly wandered "a long way from
Tipperary" and who finds himself
now decked in British uniform, turn
his eyes to an already enfeebled land
and watch the fair daughters of Erin
as they are obliged to emigrate to
other lands and bear sons for other
men, while Ireland contemplates the
scene with sorrow. America was
asked to donate generously to equip
the volunteers and drill them, and,
to what purpose? That they might
by later use on the fields of France
save John Bull from the retribution
that has for centuries been delayed.
All this is asked of little nation
with four and one-half million peo-
pie. They are asked to come to the
aid of England, with forty million, of
France, with forty-four million, while
England with her South African and
her Canadian and Australian prov

them die for Ireland. If they are to
live, let them live for Ireland. Long,
long ago Ireland made herself i'm
mortal upon the fields of Europe in
causes that were just, and in con-
hicts that were worthy. Let her sons
not shame the memory of former gal
lantry for it is not alone her sons,
but Ireland, too, that bleeds.
