THE INCOME TAX LAW

some years past there has been growing a spirit of restlessness
 smorg business men on account of the .~anoose in litigation due to statutes .hot @ the people nor the lawyers and .ho law makers themselves do not un- aorstand. The income tax law bids
 s.;r to he conspicious example in ,h;s class. The metropolitan news nsnprs many of them, have regular donartments answering questions that olroadv have arisen about the provi- s;ors of the law. Everybody whether ho has the remotest idea of ever be- oro;nc 10 the tax paying class is talk mo about it and nobody claims to know definately what is required. The cyoatest trouble that a law of this lind may give to the country is the develonment of new spirit of impa- tionce with all law. It will help make aroument for the anarchist. The fol-
 lowing taken from The Outlook is characteristic of the criticism which many papers arc making;
 coincidence to law is in one respect
 like a quarrel; it takes two to make it possible. Disobedience may be the fault of the one who is commanded. The child who is told to do some thing that is beyond his powers can not help disobeying. In that case the burden of the disobedience rests, not upon the child, but upon the parent or teacher, who issued the order.
 It has often been said that the greatest danger to selfgovernment is the spirit of lawlessness, and that disobedience to law or disregard of law is the gravest defect of the Amer ican people. If that is true-and we believe that it is-we must look for it's cause, not merely in the people who are called upon to obey. but in the spirit and method by which the laws are made.
 Sometimes laws are enacted which no one expects to be enforced, or which the majority that enacted them do not wish enforced. This is bad enough; but it is worse when laws are enacted that no one can understand, and therefore no one can obey.
 The new income tax law is of this character. A great deal of it is be- yond the comprehension of the ordi- nary citizen, and some of it is beyond the comprehension of experts. The legislator who was sponser for the bill in Congress has not been able to convince others that he fully under stands the intent of the law himself. It IS certain that those officials of the Government whose duty it is to en- force the law have not fully under stood It, for regulations have been is sued and then withdrawn, and other regulations substituted. Those most competent to give counsel to prospec- VVe Income tax payers advise them to nil out their blanks early, but not 10 hle them with the Collector of Rev enue until the last possible moment, because no one knows when a new iegulatlon will be issued modifying former instructions. It is certain that great many people who have taken "i' possible pains to ascertain what ue law requires and to comply with every requirement will have disobey- GU It. In the case of one provision we See no way by which a person can Vomply with the law and at the same 'D'ie avoid paying a tax for which the % ,aM giVes no authority without com hitting perjury"

WARNS AGAINST SPEED.
Iowa Highway Commission Starts
Campaign.

Ames, Oct. 12.-Because of the prac-
tce of Iowa motorists in converting
the public roads Of the state into
speedways, the Iowa State Highway
Commission has launched a campaign
for careful driving.
The commission calls attention to
the fact that last month twenty-five
persons We're killed on the Iowa roads,
and it attributes all of these accidents
to the speed mania. Sixteen of the
deaths occurred at grade crossings.
This reckless and fast driving has
been more in evidence since the In
dianapolis races, sand especially since
the Sioux City speedway contests the
warning states. Where railroad
tracks and highways run parallels it is
daily occurrence to see automobillsts
racing with fast trains In one in
stance of Il fatal grade crossing ac-
cident the driver of car raced,
against the pleadings of those in the
car with him, to get to the crossing
before the train. Drivers dash across
railroad crossings with scarcely look
to the right or the left. They make
a Wild charge ut newly graded stretch
of road. throwing on moro power to
go across at high speed rather than
to go across safely in lower gear.
They give a wild imperative signal at
a wagon or team ahead and without
giving moment for the driver Of the
slower vehihcie to give part of the
way. crowd on more power and rush
past, regardless of narrow grades or
grass hidden ends of short culverts.
Approaching cars sweep by each
other. their tenders inches apart in
stead Of feet, at speeds that mean al
most certain death to some If either
car suffers a break strikes an OBJ
struction or swerves from the straight
path. At night the danger is in
creased many times because of the
binding Of high powered lights. which
make it impossible for. the driver of
an approaching car, With weaker lights
to see the road.
1T would certainly seem that
twenty two deaths in highway acct
dents in practically one month ought
to bring the frenzied speedsters and
the reckless and careless drivers to
their senses"

WOMAN WINS WILL CONTEST.
Foster Daughter Of Waterloo Woma ar
Succeeds in HAVING Will Set Aside

SeSSSSNS
Waterloo. Oct. 12.-Mrs. Minnie
Cowles. foster-daughter of the late
Mrs. Jane c. Knapp of Waterloo, was
victorious in hard fought legal bat
tie over the disposition of the estate.
when a jury in Judge Troup's district
court returned a verdict Saturday.
The estate is valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The trial was, however. only the
final step in the route to the supreme
court, the attorneys In the three-cor-
nered contest having previously an
nounced that whatever the result the
case would be carried to the high
court. The hearing lasted two weeks
and in 1t were engaged a number OF
the most prominent attorneys in
Omaha.
Mrs. Cowles was seeking to probate
a will made in 1907 giving the bulk oil
the estate to her. -Alonzo p. Knapp,
husband of the dead woman. based his
claim on copy of an alleged later will
written. 1t is claimed, for Mrs. Knapp.
by Herbert B. Waldron, former banker
at Waterloo, while other relatives at
tackled both these documents. Charit-
able institutions, receiving beduests by
the alleged later will. were also inter-
ested in the suit.
Amateur detective work on the part
Of attorneys attacking the alleged later
will was a feature OF the trial. EVIL
dence was introduced for the purpose
of showing that Mr.. Waldron pur-
chased paper, legal covers and eyelets
similar to the materials of the docu-
ment, after Mrs. knapp's death and
that it was written on typewriter
purchased after her death. The orig
inal of this will was said to have been
lost in Mr. Waldron's bank, presun-
ably carried away by flood water
which entered the bank.
