HAS LITTLE GUlDEB00K
FOR INCOME TAX PAYERS
Collector Anderson Gets Stack
to Hand Out to PerpleXed
Return Makers.

Charles w. Anderson, Collector OF In
ternal Revenue, has on hand a stack of
pamphlets giving the various construc-
tons of the law and regulations relating
to the income tax up 10 January D. 1871.
Since that date several new construc-
tons of the various intricacies of the law
have been made, so that this official pub
LEGATION is hardly up TO date. Neverthe-
less. it is the latest authoritative COM
pilation and may prove a help to the
perpleXed prospective taxpayer.
Those who have struggled manfully
with the mazes of the subject say the
best thing to do is TO make frank state
ment of yearly income, based on that
received between March /. 1913, and De-
cember 81, 1913, and trust 20 liberal in
depreciation by the Treasury Department.
Not one man in one hundred will be able
10 make his return in strictly legal form
this first year it is said.
Above ALL let the return contain a pro-
test against the payment on income re-
ceyed before October !, 1913. The Su-
preme Court may hold that the retroac-
tive feature Of the income tax law is
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Anderson seems rather optimistic
regarding the collection OF the income
tax yesterday. lie said
Putting such a law Into effect is nee
essariy difficult and involves the solu-
ton OF many knotty problems. We are
doing all we can to save business men and
others from annoyance. and with the CO.
operation of the press will soon have
the provisions OF the act before the pub
lie In such way that the requirements
will be thoroughly understood

after the conference. ct is doubtful,

There are many difficulties TO he sur
mounted"
The only progress made was an agree
ment for a statute providing that Presi-
Dental and Vice-Presidential primaries
should be held in all OF the states on one
certain day of the year preceding the gem
eral election. Even this presents grave
questions, according TO Mr.. Rucker.
Whether constitutional amendment
will be necessary TO put the primary law
into effect was another problem consid-
cred at the White House to-day. IT
could not be decided whether a law pro-

BUSINESS MEN
HAIL NEW ERA
National Chamber of Commerce
Hears Secretary Wilson
and PrOuty.

Washington. Feb 1.-THE American
business world came into personal toCch
with men whose ideas and actions are OF
great moment to business when Secre-
tarv Wilson, OF the Department of La
Dor. and Commissioner Prouty, or the
Interstate Commerce Commission, 20
night addressed the five hundred dele
gates here attending the second annual
convention Of the Chambers Of commerce
of the United States.
Secretary Wilson discussed the relations
of his department with the business
world, while Commissioner Prouty out
lined the work of ascertaining the actual
value of the countiy's railroads and
other interstate common carriers.
Harry A. Wheeler, Of Chicago, retiring
president, said that new era had
dawned when business could be relied
upon to work in harmony with Congress
and when the death knell OF lobbying in
Washington had been sounded.
. while the problem of establishing rail-
way rates will not be solved by this valu-
ation," said Mr.. Prouty, that problem
will be enormously simpifed. It can be
known with certainty whether the gem
eral level of rates is or is not too high,
and in establishing the charges TO be OBJ
served by single carrier. even in fixing
the rate upon a single commodity, 1t will
be of much benefit to know the value OF
the property involved.
Consider conditions in New England
to-day, where the fate OF both the Bos-
ton e. Maine and the New Haven systems
is trembling In the balance. None OF
these questions can be answered, none Of
these situations can be Justly dealt with,
until we know the actual value OF these
properties"

Action Brought to Break
That Roads Control OF
Central Pacific.
MERGER THWARTS
PLANS OF CONGRESS
Prevents Continuous, Connected
Line from Missouri River
to San Francisco.

Salt Lake CITY. Feb. 1.-THE divorce OF
the Central Pacific Railroad from the
Southern Pacific IS asked I'm a suit fled
here to-day by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds under the Sherman antitrust
law
This is the first big suit under the
Sherman law that has been Instituted
since President Wilson recently declared
his policy of peace toward big bust
ness" and is taken to indicate that the
government Will take drastic action. cX-
cept i'm cases where corporations readily
conform themselves TO tn. Views OF the
administration.
The Attorney General asks the court TO
compel the Southern Pacific Railroad TO
dispose OF It's holdings in the Central Pa
cifc and to cancel and relnquish its
lease, control, management and operation
Of the lines. He petitions the court also
TO decree that the Southern Pacifics
holdings with the Central Pacific shall
be disposed OF to persons who 'are not
its stockholders or agents, nor otherwise
under its control and influence"
This means that the Southern Pacific
stockholders would not be allowed to pur-
chase any of the Central Pacific stock
now owned by the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
I'm addition TO the two railroads other
defendants named are the Union Trust
Company of New York Grustee for the
Southern Pacific under a mortgage and
holder of the stock OF the Central Pa
cinc), William Sproule. julius Krutt-
schntt, Robert Goelet. Cornelius y. Bliss,
Walter p. Bliss. Henry W. De Forest.
j. Horace Harding. Charles w. Hardness,
Henry f. Huntington, James y. Jarvie,
ogden Mills and l.. +. Loree.
The petition alleges that the two roads
arc operated under the same manage
ment; that there is discrimination by
them in favor of each other against other
and competitive roads, and that those
conditions are In restraint of trade.
A new feature of the charge is that the
alleged combination exists i'm violation
Of the so-called Pacific railroad laws,
which were designed by Congress 10 Sc
cure a continuous connected line from the
Missouri River to the Pacific Coast with
equal advantages to all other roads.
II is declared further that the Southern
Pacific and the Central Pacific are com
petitive lines. IL is pointed out that the
lines of tho Central Pacific form nat
ural through connection at Ogden for
the Union Pacific. and that restoration
OF competitive conditions would give the
Union Pacific through route from the
Missouri River to San Francisco.
