CONGRESSMENCA WAIT
TO PAY INCOME TAX
[uNIrED rREss LEASED wIRn. ]

Washington, Jan. 23.-Although they
themselves are responsible for the new
income tax law, under which taxes are
assessed beginning March l, 1918, Sen.
ators and Representatives are jubilant
today over ruling which exempts
them from having their salaries taxed
before next May at least. While most
folks subject to the tax are "ponying
up" for the ten months Of 1918 and all
of this year, the congressman are inn
mune from the new tax for months to
come. Bachelors of Congress will be
hit first by the new tax. They will
have the one per cent deducted from
their salaries on May 4. Married Con-
gressmen will have the tax taken from
their salaries on July 4.
A treasury department ruling upon
the income tax is responsible for the
apparent favoritism show Congressman
under the new law. Although the tax
went into effect last March, the Treas
ury Department ordered that the one
per cent be deducted "at the source"
the Senate and the House Sergeants-
alarms, who pay Congressional salaries
only upon payments in excess Of
$4,000 during last November and De.
cember. As Congressman are paid their
81, 800 salaries in monthly installments
Of $625 upon the fourth day of each
month, this Treasury Department order
resulted in escape Of the income tax by
all Congressman, who received $l,250
on the two paydays in November and
December.
Now the Sergeants-at rule that
they cannot deduct the income tax from
Congressional salaries until after each
Congressman has been paid $4,000 OF
more. This is because Of contingencies
that a member might die or resign and
thus not have an income Of over $4,000
before the payday on May A, wher
members will have received five checks
for $625 each for the five months Of
| 1914.
AS married men are exempt up tC
$4,000 it will be July before the mar
ried Legislators will have received ovel
$4,000 and be subject to the one pei
cent salary deduction for the collection
of the tax Cat the source" while the
bachelors paying on income over $4,000
will have their salaries sliced begin
ming May a.

FORESTRY RECOGNIZED
IN TAX ASSESSMENT
InNlrrp pnnss LEASED wnr. ]

Washington, Jan. 23.-Foresters and
lumbermen see in n decision of the
Treasury Department in regard to the
administration Of the income tax n
strong argument for forestry. As they
interpret Tic opinion of the Treasury
officials they understand that no tim
ber lands shall be subject to the tax
until tho timber is cut and marketed
and that then the profit only will be
SUBJECT to on income tax assessment,
In other words all costs will be de-.
ducted before the tax is levied, and
these win cover the cost Of growing
the timber, including the cost of plant
ing whore necessary and Of protecting
the growing crop from fire and other
depreciation.
This decision was based upon re-.
quest for information made by r. s.
Ridsrale, secretary Of the American
forestry association. Ho asked II there
would be tax on the value Of tho
yearly growth Of timber whether IL
was cut or not, and also whether an
income tax would be assessed on tho
value Of the timberland. In reply, the
Treasury Department said that "the
gain from the cutting and disposal Of
stumpage is realized in the year dur
ing which the timber Is cut and dis.
posed Of, and that the amount received
in excess Of the cost Of such timber Is
profit, and should be 30 accounted for
as income for that year. -

stories, though the foreheads of both
were wet with perspiration when they
left the stand.
Just before closing its case late yes
terday, the prosecution brought the tes-
timony of two additional witnesses who
said Suhr told them of having used a
weapon during the Wheatland riot.

Imprisonment given to him, as he could
not stand this thing" testified Jailer
Francis Heenan, of Marysville. "He
said he took gun out of an old man 8

"He told me, - testified Deputy Sher-
iff Bennett Shilling of Yuba county,
that he passed an old man during the
riot; that the old man gave him gun,
saying, here young fellow, protect your
self, and that he fired several shots -
Stung by Shot.
"He added that he was stung by a
shot himself. Later, he said, he caught
a freight train out Of Wheatland, and
got a job in the woods, heard that he
and Ford were wanted, left his job in
tending to surrender, but, hearing that
suspects were being tortured, changed
his mind and went 10 Arizona, where he
was arrested.
Schilling was questioned closely con-
cerning the methods used while Suhr
was in the Yuba county Jail to induce
him to talk.
He often drank with detectives who
came to see him, Schilling said; once
women were brought to him, "No, they
were not forced on him in his cell, -
said the witness, denying that the pris-
oner was subjected to the wiles of wo-
men allies of the detectives. "There
was nothing improper in my presence. "

"It"s a lie" declared Suhr during
an intermission in the proceedings

Unsanitary Conditions.
In response to the questioning of At
tOrney Austin Lewis, of counsel for the
defense, Morris then proceeded, against
the prosecution bitter objection, to
tell of unsanitary conditions on the hop
ranch.
They were dreadful, he declared. Wo.
men were compelled to wait in line at
the toilets he said, sometimes for 30
minutes, "And there was no free drink
ing water" he continued. "The con-
cessionaires would give you plenty of

Playing Cards at Time.
The defense opened its case yester-
day afternoon with an effort to prove
an alibi for Bagan. He was, according
to John Quinn and George Lester, team.
sters on the Dnrst ranch, playing cards
with them in the ranch stable at the
time of the riot.
"Do you believe asked Attorney
Carlin, who conducted the cross-examin-
alton, for the prosecution, turning to
the jury, that these men were calmly

"You could hear the supper bell 200

Question Becomes Vital.

Soon after the Union Pacific.South.
ern Pacific dissolution was ordered by
the supreme court early last year the
disposition Of the Central Pacific be-
came vital question. 1t was appar.
ent from the start that Union would
try to gain control Of this valuable
property, which extends from Oakland,
Cal, on the west to Ogden, Utah, on the
east, Union made the contention that
the entire railroad project from Omaha
to Oakland originally was intended as
one line, and that IL should be per.
mitted to become one line.
However until the late y, II. Harri.
man acquired control Of the Southern,
the Central had been operated as inde.
pendent Of the Union Pacific. 1t was
to gain control Of tho Central that Mr..
Hartman bought control Of the South
ern.

Remain With s. P.
SEVERAL REASONS ARE
GIVEN FOR THEIR STAND
Wilson'S Message Cited AS One of the
Things to Be Considered in De-
claring Off Unmerging.
[uNIrrp PRESS IrAsrp wIpr.l

Portland, Or, Jan. 23.-Control of
the Central Pacific railroad must re-
main with the Southern Pacific, where
it has been ever since the latter road
was built, say the commercial interests
of California, who are sending urgent
appeals to the government authorities
who now have under consideration the
advisability of forcing the two lines to
segregate.
The chamber Of commerce of San
Frnacisco on Tuesday adopted resolu-
tions protesting earnestly against the
proposed segregation, pointing out that
the two roads have been operated as a
common property through the entire
course of their joint development, and
that it would be harmful to the rail-
roads, as well as to the people of Cali
fornia to force them to separate now.
Sproule Comments.
Commenting on these resolutions,
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific, yesterday sent the
following telegram to w. D. Campbell
general superintendent, and John M
Scott, general passenger agent, in
Portland.
y" In this matter the Southern Pacific
company believes the business men Of
the community are naturally good
judges of what is the part Of public
wisdom with respect to the suggested
separation. They are the men chiefly
affected. They represent the travelling
public, as well as the shipping public
It so happens that they know generally
that the lines of the company in ques
tion have been developed by the same
interests and handled throughout by
the same officers. There was no sepa
ration Of identity except as to corpor
ate form, In every business and trans
portation sense they have been at al
times one property, not two,
"The Central Pacific and Southerr
Pacific lines We're developed by orig
inal construction, and not by acquisition
or purchase. The construction ant
operation Of both corporate propertie
as one unit Of service was by the sam
set Of men, the same officers, even tn,
same treasurer and so they have con
tinued to this day."
