INCOME TAX APPLIES !.
TO TIMBER |. CUTTINGS
NO FOREST LANDS INCLUDED
UNTIL WOOD Is CUT AND
MARKETED

Washington, Jan. Foresters and
lumbermen. see in a decision Of the
treasury department in regard to the
administration Of the income tax a
strong argument for forestry. AS
they interpret the opinion Of the
treasury officials they understand that
no timberlands shall be subject TO The
tax until the timber is cut and mar
keted and that then the profit only
viii be subject to an income tax as
sessment. In other words, all costs
will be deducted before the lax is le-
wed, and these will cover the cost OF
growing the timber, including the cost
oi planting where necessary ard Of
protecting the growing crop firm fire
and other depreciation.
This decision was based upea re-
guest for information made by p s.
Ridsdale, secretary of the American
.oTCstry association. He asked K there
would be tax on the value Of the
yearly growth Of timber whether it
was cut or not, and also whether an
income tax would be assessed on the
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 so accounted
for as income for that year"

cHIcoRA LosT 19 YEARS acc

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Nineteen years
ago today occurred one Of the most
tragic shipwrecks in the history of
the great lakes-the loss of the Chi
cora Of the Graham and Morton line.
The Chicora left Milwaukee for St.
Joseph, Mich, on January q, 1895,
with cargo Of flour Captain Ed
ward Shines was in command and 20
persons are known to have been
aboard the ill-fated craft. Although
it was midwinter the weather was
mild and the lake calm Hardly had
the boat cleared port, however when
a terrific storm arose All that night
life savers watched for the Chicora.
The next day small pieces of wreck
age were washed ashore. Although
boats secured the lake for days af-
terward, no trace Of the missing yes
sci was ever found. It has always
been the conjecture that she plunged
to the bottom of the lake somewhere
off South Haven, Mich.

PROGRESS Of NEGRO RACE

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. z1.-The TWEEN
ty-third annual session Of the Tuske-
gee Negro conference assembled here
today with an attendance representing
many states. The meeting was devot-
ed largely to celebration showing
the progress made in negro farming
during the past half century. The cele-
bration began this morning with pa
rade, showing the improvements that
have been made in farming. The pa
rade was headed by q negro farmer Of
fifty years ago, with his cob pipe, OK
and wooden plow. The last division
of the parade showed the four-horse
gang plOw and other modern farming
implements. After the parade the far
mers assembled in the chapel Of Tus-
kegee institute and engaged in dis
cussion Of scientific agriculture and
modern methods of farming. Booker
T. Washington presided, and under his
guidance the most vital points con-
nected with the great southern prob
lem were brought out and earnestly
discussed by the farmers and their
friends.

READSCHARACTER
BY LOOKING At
THE FACE
DR.. MILLER CAN TELL YOU WHAT
YOUR INNERMosT THOUGHTS
ARE ABOUT

DIR. John T. Miller, who is to deliver
several talks and lectures under the
auspices ofthe Y. M. C. A. Tuesday
and Wednesday Of next week, believes
and teaches character reading by the
face. He is an expert at character
reading not fortune telling. He can
point out the strong and weak points
of a man and by SO doing has helped
many to find themselves. He is not in
any sense a quack or a pretender, but
comes to Las Vegas with the highest
OF recommendations as sane, sem
sible and practical man
For a number of years DR.. Miller
has conducted school of human cul-
ture, in which character reading by
the face has been tanght. In fact. it
is the success of his work on the coast
that has induced him to broaden his
field of service. OF great and inesti-
mable help has he been to young men
at school or colleges who we're waver-
ing between the taking of several pro-
fessions. By his knowledge of human
nature he has started many a young
fellow on his way rejoicing, sure of
his life work ahead.
Dir. Miller says the face shows every
thought and feeling OF the nina. He
says IF there is a feeling of anger
or happiness the face shows It. If
there are impure thoughts they are
bound to shine through your face. 1t
is much worse to spoil your face by
bad thinking that to have it spoiled
by some other fellows fist. It makes
me sad when I go from school to
school telling young men how to build
their brains and bodies, to see so
many faces that have been spoiled by
wrong habits Of thoughts and life.
The art of building a good life is the
greatest art in the world, and every
young man who wishes to be truly
happy must learn this art and practice
it every day."

HOW TO BUILD GOOD
ROADS

There is only one right solution Of
the road problem, and that is the con
struction Of permanent roads. Every
road built wholly or in part with
funds provided by the state or federal
! government should nave a length of
| life equal to the life Of the bonds is
sued to raise the money to pay for
them. The foundation, bridges, cul-
verts and retaining walls at least
should have such durability; other
wise future generations will find
themselves doubly burdened in paying
off these old bonds and at the same
time raising money for the rebuild
ing Of the roads.
The use Of bitumens or tar for
binder in place OF water increases the
life q. the. .macadam road and allays
the dust nuisance, but does not pro
vide a permanent road, because such
binders undergo chemical changes and
disintegrate in time The bituminous
road is a great improvement on the
ordinary watei-bound highway, how
ever. particularly for Yignt traffic. The
first requirement OF a permanent road
is a foundation that win sustain heavy
loads and which will not be affected
by frost and water All through roads
between large centers Of population
should be built strong enough to sus-
tain ordinary city traffic, because IN
tercity traffic with motor trucks and
motor stages will be one of the great
Developments Of the next quarter cen
turv, particularly at distances Of 100
miles and less Such traffic Is be-
coming an economic necessity be-
cause Of freight congestion on the
railroads and the requirements of
long-haul traffic.
Concrete appears 70 be the best and
cheapest foundation material. In fact,
no other material IS needed to make
4 a good road. However, a top surface
Of vitrified brick, hardwood block,
sheet asphalt, or crushed stone mixed
with tar or asphaltum viii contribute
70 the life Of the concrete foundation
and some Of them will afford horses
a better footing and deaden the sound.
Such payements are especially desir-
able in city streets. Concrete roads.
however. with no other surface ma
terial, have proved most durable and
satisfactory in a number Of places

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Wheat advanced
today on account of unfavorable har-
vest reports from Argentina, where
estimates Of the surplus had to be
again reduced. The market opened
x to A0% higher and made a slight
additional gain. The close was stea-
dy 1s@A to A@ss above last night.
Failure Of the Argentina crop to
maintain recent high promise gave
some strength to corn, but offerings
became decidedly plentiful at slight
advance. Prices started the same as
last night to Il higher and seemed
inclined to keep within that range.
The close was easy a to A@% net

Oats hardened with other grain, but

AN INTERNATIONAL
LANGUAGE

The movement for universal lam
guage does not aim to drive out the
natural languages but merely to in
troduce an auxiliary idiom that may
bring about an easier understanding
between all nations and at the same
time have the advantage Of express
ing conceptions in a manner less am
biguous and more generally intelligi-
Die than is possible in the case of
words in the natural languages, since
these carry with them many vague
connotations. There exist At present
several language systems that have
shown that it is possible BY means
Of an auxiliary language to bring
about oral and written intercourse
between persons Of the most widely
differing nationalities OF the civilized
world. An important question at
present is to solve the struggle grow.

Universal Language Bureau whose

to introduce. develop and apply an
Officially recognized international aux
iliary language The association, as
such, maintains the strictest neutral
ity in regard to existing systems Of
auxiliary language or
any that subsequently come into ex-
istence. It refrains from any propo-
ganda in favor Of individual systems
The neutrality Of the association is
wen shown through the admission Of
adherents Of various international
language systems, and at the present
time the following languages are rep-
resented: Bolak. Esperanto, Europal,
lido (Reform Esperanto), Latin sine
flexione Neutral (Reform Neutral).
Pankel, Perfect, Romanal Tutonish,
viva. yolapnk.
While the association as such un-
der no circumstances undertakes the
matter of any propaganda for any par
ticular system, it declines all respon-
sibility for anything in this respect
by any of its individual members, as
every member naturally preserves his
own personal freedom Of action. In
the association itself there is claimed
to be no room for any Improbable
conflict of language.
The immediate aim OF the associa-
ton is to present a detailed memorial
to the federal government Of Switzer-
land wherein the necessity and gen
eral utility of a universal language
bureau should be strongly set forth,
with the request tnat, through the
mediation Of the Swiss Federal Coun-
ell Hi th otl1eg governments, a prelim-
mary diplomatic conference would be
The business of this con
ference would be to discuss the desir-
ability Of an officially recognized in
ternational auxiliary language. Should
such negotiations be successful, the
next step would be the election ofsa
committee Of neutral experts By the
governments concerned or by the pre-
liminary conference of their represen-
tatives, whose duty it would be to ex-
anime the existing systems Of artificial
language, to select the most suitable
one, and to lay down the lines of fur
ther development. A draft on an in
ternational treaty for the introduction
Of an international language win be
prepared by experts and Incorporate
ed in the memorial.
In the event of no government be-
ing willing to assist in the summon
ing Of a diplomatic preliminary con
ference, the association reserves for
itself the appointment of commit
tee Of experts, to be selected from
universities, technical colleges, cham
bers of commerce, etc. but in all
cases from bodies strictly neutral il
the matter Of an auxiliary language
The final recognition of the Language
would under no circumstances de
yolve upon a congress to be sum
moned by the governments.
