MR.. sWANsON's PLAN
President Wilson Will Review Vessels
What Such Pageant Will Mean
to the Old Dominion.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-Presl-
dent Wilson's announced plan to re-
view the fleets of the civilized world
at Hampton Roads and then to lead
the fleets through the Panama Canal
|, ,at the official opening Of that water
way, is the fruition Of the plan out
lined by Senator Swanson of Virginia
as far back as 1910.
AS a matter of fact, on January 19,
1911, Senator Swanson introduced IN
the Senate a joint resolution con-
tanning this paragraph:
GAS the completion of this great
waterway connecting the two great
oceans will be an epoch in the history
of the world and of special interest to
the commerce of all nations, the Pres
ident, in his invitation to the foreign
nations, shall invite their representa-
tives and their fleets to rendezvous
at Hampton Roads, Virginia, and
from thence the representatives shall
proceed to the city of Washington,
there to be formally welcomed by the
President; and at the conclusion of
Hhe ceremonies at Washington, the
President shall proceed to Hampton
Roads and there review the assembled
fleets of the world as they start on
their voyage to the exposition city,"
It is of peculiar interest to Virginia
that the Swanson plan has been en-
dorsed and will be followed out by
President, the Secretary of the Navy
and practically the whole member
ship of the Presidents Cabinet. The
arrangement will not only advertise to
the entire world the excellence and
the advantages Of the harbor Of
Hampton Roads, but it will result in
great financial advantage to great
part of the southern Virginia.
4 The nine countries which already
have signifed their intention to send
battleships to take part in the cruise
from Hampton Roads to San Fran
cisco are Argentine, Cuba, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
Portugal, and Russia. The squadrons
of these countries and of the other
powers which will also be repre-
sented in the greatest naval review
of modern times will be assembling
in Hampton Roads from December
1914, until March 1915.
Naturally, this will result in a tre-
mendous Advertising boom for Hamp-
ton Roads and Virginia, and, incident
ally, the presence of the officers and
men in the .harbor will be a great
aid to the business interests of the
cities of Virginia.
!. In 1910, when public interest first
began to manifest itself in the COM
pletion of the canal, Senator Swanson
became convinced that Hampton
Roads should be selected as the log
ical starting point for the trip to the
canal. After consultation with the
Navy Department, he. was persuaded
more than ever that this harbor
should be the mecca for the fleets of
the world. Thereupon, he introduced
his resolution in the Senate, and his
efforts to have the plan adopted have
been unremitting.
The formal announcement of the
Secretary of the Navy that the Pres
ident will review the fleets of the
Iworld in Hampton Roads in sight of
the Virginia shores marks the sue
cessful end of the Senator's work in
jfhis connection.

A New High School Building.

Canton IS sadly in need
a new high school building. Yes, we
all acknowledge that and wish some
one possessed fairy wand that might
be waved over our beautiful campus
and therefrom arise structure that
this and future generations might be
proud Of. 1t is only question of
time when Canton must have a larger
and more up TO date high school
building, the present one being made
quate for the best results from the
work the teachers try to accomplish.
1t Is up to those interested in the
welfare Of future generations to ad-
vance interest along this line. We
shall be glad TO have the matter dis
cussed in the columns Of the LEADER,
the way and means, etc.

Canton is S19, $50. 131 A levy of 2

AUTO ACCIDENT.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole II. Leir and .Neice
Have Narrow Escape.

Ole H. Leir, living southwest OF
Worthing, started for home last Fri.
day about 1:3O p. ~ accompanied by
his wife and neice in his auto, when
reaching the W.. 5th street railroad
crossing he ran into the south bound
passenger, LOG, resulting in the total
wreck of his car and injuries to him.
self and wife and neice.
1t seems that Mr. Leir heard the
warning whistle OF the train but
failed to locate the right direction
from which it come. as he looked
south he saw a switch engine on the
"Y" and supposed it was from that
engine that the warning sounded.
He just reached the crossing when
"106" rushed by and struck the tend
er with the front end of the auto.
The auto was thrown from the right
of-way to the cement walk some
thirty feet away alighting on it's side,
ruined.
Mr.. Leir escaped with severe
shaking up. Mrs. Leir was more
seriously injured, suffering from three
fractured ribs and cuts about the
head from flying glass. Their neice
was also cut. from flying glass and
bruised about the body. All received
immediate attention at the Canton
hospital.
Their escape from death is miracu-
lous and only kind providence can
answer for their presence among
friends and relatives today.
The Milwaukee should be compelled
to place an automatic alarm bel! at
the many railroad crossings in the

Motor Cycles to Fight Forest Fires.

That Uncle Sam is keeping pace
with the motor age Is evidenced by
the fact that the motorcycle is begin
ming to supplant the horse as fire
fighting equipment on some of the
national forests. Announcement Is
made that twin motorcycles will be
kept at forestry headquarters in
Dead wood and Custer next season for
the purpose of running down fires on
the Black Hills and Harvey forests.
The motors will be equipped to carry
men and sufficient fire fighting appa-
ratus to snuff out small fires and to
control, as far as possible, larger ones
until help is secured.
Owing TO the extreme dry seasons
in the Black Hills region the fire
hazard is far greater than on any Of
the forests in adjacent states In all,
SO fires, destroying approximately
s46, 200 worth of property, were re-
corded on the Black Hills and Harvey
forests last season.
The need Of utmost speed In reach
ing incipient fires is demonstrated by
the fact that one fire alone, although
attacked five minutes after 1t started
and with forty men on the scene
within thirty minutes, burned over
six hundred acres before it was
brought under control. With the adj
| vantage of the many good roads and
absence Of steep slopes, It is expected
by forestry officials that the use of
motorcycles next season will help ma
terially to reduce the loss from forest
fires throughout the Black Hills
country.

Duty and Liability.

My deputies will carefully canvas
the districts under my jurisdiction.
They will keep up the canvas even
after the lst of March, 1914, and they
will have ample authority to get the
Information they seek. These tax
able persons located after that date
will have failed to obey the law and
will be liable to its penalties. Let me
mention these penalties for the in.
formation of the public. The penalty
for failure to file return of income
within the time specified by law is
from $2O to 81 900. Iii case of refusal
or neglect to render the return with
in the required time, SO per cent will
be added to the amount of the tax as
sessed. In the case of false or fraud
ulent return 100 per cent will be add
ed to the tax, and any person found
guilty of such with intent to defraud
or evade the law will be liable to a
fine not exceeding $4,000 or imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, or may
be both fined and imprisoned. I re-
quest the cooperation of the public,
and have called attention to the pen
alties provided by the law, not be-
cause expect attempt to evade The
statute, but that all may understand
their duty and liability.
Ask toc Information.
Let me emphasize that neglect or
refusal to file return will be penaliz-
ed. In other words, the law puts the
responsibility up to the Individual,
and the Government will hold the ill.,
dividual 10 account. While no re-
turn will be required of person with
net income OF less than 81, 500 from
March l, 1913, to December 81, 1913,
inclusive, still that person should be
sure Of this right Of exemption and
deduction in determining what is
net income. In brief it is better to
seek information from this office than
10 run the risk of violating the law.
Any individual will be instructed as
TO his or her rights aud should seek
instruction either In person or by
letter.
Corporations Too.
Corporations must also have their
reports for the calendar year begin
ing January l, 1913, and ending De-
Gem Der 81, 1913, In the hands Of the
collector on or before March l, 1914.
Under the new law corporations are
allowed to designate the end of any
month In the year as the end of their
fiscal year for which TO make reports,
by giving the collector notice thirty
days prior to the end of the month
they wish to designate as the end of
their fiscal year, but for 1913 corpora
tion reports must be made for the
calendar year beginning January
and ending Decem Der 81, 1913
It is hoped that thorough canvas
of this district after the 1st of March
will fail to disclose any who have not
complied with the requirements of
law.
