The boss who has inspired the dis

But when man comes out into the

The Closing Campaign.

Mr. Underwood has n heart. He de-
cIared during the recent adjournment
deadlock that he would not call back
any member of the House who had
gone home to look out for his own
campaign.
He himself is fortunate. He has moth
ing now at stake. In March he be-
comes a senator and six years will
spread before him. He submitted his
case to the people of Ala bama months
ago. and they approved of it, He was
so strong with his people that only Il
few speeches by him We're required.
He hurried home to make them. and
then hurried back. and the public busl-
ness did not suffer by reason of his alb
Sence.
II is TO be doubted if at this late day
any representatives campaign will
benefit by his taking personal charge
Sentiment is made up. Voters know
the records of the two parties. and are
red to record themselves. A few
speeches, even OF the most stirring
variety. by those who have helped
make the records can avail little now.
AS for the democratic candidates, they
are all merged in the President. He is
the issue Those who win will owe
their success to him, and will he ex-
pected to acknowledge their indebted
ness when the next Congress meets.
Another democratic House will proba-
bly, show the same degree of team
work" that this House has shown under
the guiding reins of Mr.. Wilson.
On the other hand. a republican
House-which does not now look like
Twill probably show disaffections in
the democratic ranks as early even as
next winter. The President Will be
charged with the disaster; and those
who have not in. their hearts approved
of the New Leadership, but have ac-
. cepted it as a matter of party neces-
sity, will be tempted to find their
tongues and voice their complaints.
There are many of these men, but
they lack leader. And a leader is
most decidedly necessary. Mr.. Wilson
could not be successfully withstood by
any go-as-you-please arrangement of
discomfort He himself possesses all
the elements of leadership. and leads.
He puts things to the hazard He
shows the way. Some of his friends
would like to see him little more
cautious But if he sees danger he
takes the risk.
The democratic demand therefore in
this years elections is not that Mr.. X,
the trained legislator. or Mr.. Y, the
brilliant orator, or Mr.. z, the shrewd
manipulation. be. sent to Congress be-
cause of his particular talents. but be-
cause as a member of that body he will
follow his leader, who will be outside
that body in the White House.
The democratic campaign is pitched
in key SO fervent it does not sound
like politics. Says the party text book:
Thank God for wilson," And election
day ui,l afford the opportunity for CIV
ing thanks.

In some cases they are obliged to make

unsatisfactory and the recent large in
crease in the number of people affected,

relief be granted promptly.
The petition just filed with the COM

one solution of the problem. the install

The Income Tax Returns.

The TreaSury'S disappointment re-
spectin@ the income tax collection is
not remarkable. for it has been nor
ters of direct personal taxation that
the returns, especially at first, are al
ways less than the estimates People
resent direct taxation, and will go to
great lengths to avoid and lessen it
The personal income is one of the most
difficult of all taxation bases to deter
mine with eNactness. There is no
tangible, ply ysical token as in the case
of real or personal property or com
modities subject to tariff or excise
In the last analysis the individual him
self must be relied upon to make his
own assessment. for while the govern
ment can follow up and check returns
in any individual case the task of veri
flying all is too great to be undertake en-
During the past fiscal year 331, ,59S per-
sons made income tax returns. To in
vestigate each of these would call fol
an immense force of workers, and
would occupy a long period of time
The cost of such an inquiry would
make a heavy drain upon the gross tax
returns. OF course, the example of 4
few detections and punishments would
stimulate truthfulness in the next
years acknowledgements but there
would always remain, even with rigid
system of espionage, a large margin
of concea1ment.
1t does not necessarily follow be-
cause 100000 persons less than esti-
mated made returns and paid taxes
that actually that number of people
have lodged the new law. There is nc
assurance that the original Treasury
estimates were accurate. Those esti-
mates were based upon the best avail
able information, but they We're after
all only calculations. and there was
nothing tangible at the disposal of the
