with net income of that amount or
over. 80
Such an amendment" he says,
would simplify the administration
of the law. assure more complete re-
turns and materially increase the
income tax revenue, and save an
immense amount OF expense to which
the government is now subjected In
maintaining sufficient corps of In.
spectors to hunt out the people who
have failed TO make returns. He
recommends also the repeal OF the
provision by which taxes do not &C
-crue until ten days after the close
OF the fiscal year and would make
them accrue July each year.
Law Is Satisfactory.
Although the law did not produce
the revenue expected, the secretary
says, Il has proved satisfactory and
explains the administration of a law
of that character has many obstacles
TO overcome at the outset and that
folks are unaccustomed and must be
educated to Il.
Taking the tables of returns Mr..
McAdoo infers that there must be
many who failed to pay the tax
"1t Is clear" says he. that there
we're thousands OF persons. who fail.
ed altogether to make a return as
required by law The remedy for
thiss OF course, Is to have the col.
lectors OF internal revenue In each
district make an assessment upon
those. who. in the opinion Of the col.
lector are liable to the tax, and in
addition, to make snch investiga-
tons as may be necessary to de-
termine who in each district have
failed to make proper returns. The
experience OF the department shows
that many erroneous and faulty re-
turns have been made" The work
OF discovering such eases, he adds,
Is being pushed forward with all
possible rapidity.
Collection Of Revenue.
The collection OF revenue for the
fiscal year ended June 30. 1914
says Mr. McAdoo, shows the sue
cess. OF the tariff act OF October 3,
1913. as a revenue measure He
goes on to show that this act was
estimated as the producer OF 500,
00e,0e0 in its first year and that
there was actually collected s2s2,
32o.014. That. however. included nine
months under the new law and three
months under the Payne-Aldrich law
He shows that the total raised under
the new law with its corporation
and income tax features was S363.

FIRE FIGHTERS HARD
AT WORK NEAR MIST

PORTLAND. Ore. Aug. 25.-Much
trouble Is being caused by the forest
fire on Deep Creek. four miles south
west OF Mist in Columbia county, ac-
cording to an announcement OF the
oregon Fire Association. The blaze
has been under way for a week and
raging through an old burn, has COW
cred almost 5000 acres.
About 100 men are fighting the
flames. The burn is so widespread
that the fighters have found il hope
less to combat it at close quarters.
and they have retired to the edge of
the burn at the green timber, where
every fire fighting arrangement pos
sible has been made to stop the on
ward progress of the flames.
Another fire covering several hum
dred acres in an old burn is being
fought five miles southeast of Mist.
Both of these are in the Nehalem
timber belt, and constitute a grave
menace to the vast timber stands tina;
surround them.
Fifty men are fighting the big fire
discovered Saturday afternoon four
miles north of Pittsburg in Columbia
county. The fire is considered to be
under control. according to reports
received locally

AMERICANS WILL TOUR
AT HOME IN 1915

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-"It is my
guess that in 1915 many Americans
who annually motor abroad will be-
corae much better acquainted with
their country" commented President
John A Wilson of the American Au-
tomOrile Association when he Iand-
ed in New York city the other day
with a fortunate shiploaj of people
who had escaped from the European
war zone.
Granted that we need many miles
of zeal highway to get our road tray-
eiers to the scenic sections of the
country, We are improving our arler-
les of communication more substan.
italy than is the case even in France
where it's network of well built roads
will serve the country in the warfare
now raging" continued the head OF
the automobile organization
But even the foresight OF a Ma
i.oleon could not look ahead To the
automobile age, and so it is that sur
faces of the most famous French
highways have worn away under the
stress of the multiplied traffic 3f the
past few years. a percentage IF which
has been supplied by road tourists
from other countries, and with the
United States as the largest contrib
! utcr. French highway experts are
disagreed as TO the best method of
resurfacing. though it should be
kept in mind that practically every
French road has a base and is well
drained.

SAN FRANCISCO ADOPTS
ITS NEW POSTAL PLAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-The
new po.tal plan. whereby the bulk of
San Francisco's mail will be handled
at the Ferry Building and thus save
several hours and considerable ex-
pense, has been approved by Wash
ington officials, and the arrangements
II was decided today will be put into
effect next December. The plan was
approved by Postal Inspector Bush
nell who wa. sent here from Wash
ington to make a thorough investiga-
ton of the scheme. Nearly niety per
cent of San Francisco's mail passes
through the Ferry building and by
handling 1t there the delay and ex-
pense of hauling 1t to the main post
office at Mission and Seventh streets
will be saved. The new plan means
that the entire working force at the
postoffice will be reorganized. The
saving will not only affect incoming
and outbound mail but will mean a
quicker distribution of local mail, es-
pecially to and from the central bus-
iness and financial districts.

WISCONSIN'S BOXING
LAW CALLED SUCCESS

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. 25.-
Boxing under the control of the state
athletic commission haa reached its
highest standard" said w. H. Liginger
chairman of the commission in pre-
senting his annual report today. 1T
has also demonstrated that the COM
mission is more than self sustaining.
The state derives almost $4,000 from
this department for the year"
The commission exacts per cent of
the gross receipts each boxing match
held under its direction. Expenses
of the body. including the secretarys
salary. are not allowed to mount over
$4,000 per annum. The state there
fore is enriched by about $1,000
through its control of this branch OF
athletics.
Last year, boxing clubs held 132
matches in Wisconsin. averaging four
bouts to the show. Ten boxers were
suspended or barred from the state
during the twelve monts. Among
these was Packy Mcfarland who was
adjudged guilty of stalling.

as exists in France
while Germany has gone for
ward quite rapidly in roads progress.
It has not equalled either France or
Britain, though it does possess trav-

particular France unquestionably has
an advantage over the other continen-
