reduced cost of upkeep. Taking into
consideration the losses. inconveni-
ences and dangers e n tailed by an
interruption of telegraphic communi-
cation, the question of expense be-
comes a minor factor.
With regard to light and power
wires. the arguments in favor of put
ting them underground have tenfold
force. Charged with deadly electric
currents. they are not only menaces
i'm themselves. but are likely to con-
vert into Il every other wire
which they nay happen to cross when
broken. The transformation of over
head into underground systems can
not be accomplished all at once. but
ultimately the change will have to be
made. The much more difficult and
expensive task of abolishing grade
crossings has been taken up, and the
minor. but nevertheless real. danger
from crossed wires presents condi-
tions which cannot be forever left un
remedied,

n short. 1t appears under the regula-
ions adopted by tho Treasury De-
partnent that the treasurer Of this
little company must make 12 reports
on Form 1912, each III duplicate, dur-
ing the year. with a final annual re-
port on Form 1913. which merely
summarizes all the monthly reports.
So that for the privilege of paying
the Government a tax of SO the com
pany must pay s13 a year i'll notary
fees. to say nothing of the time and
labor involved in examining and list
ing certificates, &c.
Incidentally, the Treasurer must al
so hand over to the collector all the
certificates. whether exempt" or, not,
though the law Is clear in stating
that all ''withholders' Of the tax at
the source shall make a return "of
the portion of the income of each per-
son from which the normal tax has
been thus withheld" Fol the present
the Treasury Department g%raciously
permits the exempt certificates to be
turned over without requiring them to
be listed or any form, but 1T would
be mighty careless for any Treasurer
to fail to keep a. complete list never
theless.
AS all the above matters were taken
up direct with the Commissioner at
Washington. nj attention was called
to the Illegally of the requirement
to make monthly reports when the
law requires only an annual, and the
requirement to file exempt certificates
when the law requires returns only
for incomes on which the tax is with
held" there can be no question OF
confusion on the part of collectors nor
of misunderstanding on the part Of
the Treasury Department. 1t is just
q plain case of the Government try
ing to distribute the burden Of its
work over the year at. the expense
of the corporations, and incidentally
assccrtaining where all corporate
bonds are held. To be sure, the lat
ter information is useless at the pres
cnt time. but it might come in very
handy when the next step in income
is taken. that is, cutting
down the limit of exemption.

Whenever we have such a storm as

we forget all about the matter until

later we shall conclude that such con-
ditions as we are now passing through
are tntolerable; and then maybe we
shall support that conclusion resolutc-

Beginnings have been made here and

is enormous, but most Of them follow
the railroads pretty closely. Cresot-

that of providing and placing the
