EXPERTS WORKING OUT
INCOME TAX REVISION
Simpli6es Collection at Source to De-
crease Expenses Forced on
Corporations.
NOT YET READY FOR MADOO

Experts OF the income tax division OF
the Treasury Department arc at work
upon plans for radical revision OF the
regulations for the collection of the tax
at the source. These plans have not
taken sufficiently definite shape as yet,
however. to justify putting them into
effect before the first of March. on which
date il is required that returns be made
on incomes received between March
and November /. 1918. These returns,
therefore, must be made on the form
prescribed and the rules laid down by
the set OF regulations already issued.
1t will be the purpose Of the income
tax experts TO simplify the regulations
for the collection of the tax at the sources
in every way possible with the view of
decreasing the expense forced upon cor
poTations by the law.
The most important reform which the
division experts have in mind is the re-
duction of the number of ownership GER
tificatcs, for different kinds of income
producing properties from twenty to four
The four types that will be adopted under
the new system probably will be much
simpler in form than any now issued.
The reforms will be worked out 10y de-
grees and probably they will not be aC-
complished by the issuance of an entirely
new set of regulations at any one time.
The scheme of reforms remains TO be
submitted to. Secretary McAdoo.

NEARLY ALL NIGHT
GETTING HOME
Nsuvoo Rebekahs Have Unusual Ex-
perIences In Making "Trip From
Warsaw Meeting Tuesday.

Nauvoo Rebekahs together with
Keokuk members Of the lodge, went
to Warsaw Tuesday evening. The
occasion was an initiation Of a big
class there. The entire degree staff
of the Nauvoo lodge went to Warsaw
in autos. On the way home they had
several thrilling experiences. and
didn't get home until early in the
morning. The following from the In
dependent tells Of the troubles en-
countered:
On their way home the last car
driven by Geo. Gross. upset at the
foot of Mt. Moriah hill Having
rained slightly. and striking a nut,
the car turned over. Luckily Georr-
was driving slowly at the time and
the car went over rather gently and
none Of the occupants were injured.
The others in the car were Edith Nc
Gregor, Gertrude Bechtel. Mrs. Mittie
Hubbard and Zelda Walther.- There
is steep embankment ut this place
which runs abruptly into the river
and it is said the top Of the machine
is all that saved the occupants from
going into the river. They had a mar
row escape. The Davis ana Gnann
cars which were ahead were stopped
and came back to lend assistance.
Jeff Knipe and his family we're arous-
ed and they brought team and ropes
with which the Goss car was righted.
The car started out again, but soon
ran out Of gasoline. The Gnann car
got a hot box" and could 60 no
farther, A. Northup's and John Ben
nett's were aroused, from whom
some borrowing was done and tele-
phone messages sent. The gasoline
from the Gnann car was put into the
Gross car, thus enabling It and the
Davis car to go home. DR.. Hobbs was
telephoned to and he went to the
rescue with F. Salm, Jr.,'s car, bring
ing Mesdames Amsler, Bicker and
Sula Harsch home about 5 o'clock,
they having walked from Northup's
