Practice What You Preach

Trade at home is good, sound ad-
vice, but it will be found very inefec-
tive if the one who urges trade at
home does not practice what he
breaches. Take it home to yourself.
If some one urges you to trade at
home, to be loyal to Leavenworth, and
you know he himself is trying to save
a penny by sending off for something
he wants, you at once conclude he is
wanting the best of the bargain.
Heal thyself," says the scripture.
Before you can expect man to take
your medicine you must convince him
that it has had a reforming effect on
yourself.
We believe that sending money
away from the town for goods and
wares is wrong and hurtful to the com
munity as a whole. We can develop
and make this country prosperous by
working together, and only in that way.
The farmer should patronize the home
merchant. 1t is to his interest to do
so, because he may need the help OF
the merchant to get creamery started,
to get road improvement, to build a
church and to do many other things
the help for which depends on the
merchant and towns people. Do you
not know, Mr.. Farmer, that prosper
Gus town indicates a prosperous sur
rounding country? Just so does a

cate a prosperous town. The two 60
together and must work together for
mutual good else both will come out
loser in the end. But you must work
honestly and sincerely. You must not
try to induce some one else to do that
for the town that you are yourself not
doing, else your effort will fall fiat.
Three hundred dollars goes out OF
Leavenworth for printing every month
that might just as well be done here,
and the three hundred dollars would
remain and be spent here. With the
help of the merchants we are about 10

chant sends out for butter the cream
cry will be failure from the begin
ming. This trade at home argument
is sound, and will prove effective, if
only we will be sincere and practice
what we preach.

Higher Water Rates

Members Of the new council tell us
that unless some way can be found to
cut down the city's expense account a
raise in the water rate is inevitable.
The necessity for the most rigid econ
omy the coming year is SO pressing
that the councilmen will be put to
their wits to meet the views of the
tax payers. In March the city, county
and state taxes will be payable, then
there is the street paving tax that will
become payable in midsummer, and
shortly after will come the street grad
ing, or improvement district tax.
There will be, three tax bills to meet
this year. There is tax in front, be-
hind and on each side of the prop
erty owner. Taxes were high last
year but they will be much, very much
higher this year.

Employers OF the state will do we'll to
advise themselves of the provisions oil
the minimum wage act. Every en-
ployee who has been working for less
than the minimum wages can recover
from the employer, and State Labor
Commissioner E. w. Olson says that
he will vigorously prosecute suit fol-
such recovery whenever it is brought
to his attention. He has already col
lected 1904 in back salaries for seven
female employees. Many employers
are under the impression that they may
pay less than the minimum scale il
they designate their employees as APP
.pEsntices. However, the law does
not recognize any apprentices except
such as have secured proper permit
from the labor department and that de-
partment has no power to date back a
permit.

Calling Attention to a Condition

The somewhat caustic comment oil
Citizen" on Leavenworth's method Of
fighting fires is not without point.
Everybody knows that fire fighting in
the past in this town has been hap
hazard affair. There has absolutely
been no system about it. A more
loose, irresponsible and profitless
method OF combating fires could not
we'll be imagined. In round numbers
we have some two or three thousand
dollars invested in fire fighting ap-
paratus. and a water system that the
retiring city clerk says cost the city
over eighty thousand dollars, and we
all know will cost an additional ten
thousand dollars to make it satisfactory
and efficient, and yet we get little or
no benefit from the investment in the
way Of fire protection. This is one Of
the city's problems that should invite
early attention from the new council.
Can not some plan be worked out so
that fire fighting in Leavenworth will
have some system about it2

The New City Administration

After qualifying as Mayor at Tues
day nights meeting of the council,
among the first statements made by
Mayor Woodrow was that in so far as
himfelf was concerned he would prom
Use Leavenworth an administration de-
voted to efficiency and economy. The
first step in this direction was request
for full and complete statement Of
the financial condition of the town.
Obviously without this as a point to
start. from intelligent and reasonable
measures of economy are imprac-
ticable. Mr.. Woodrow's past and
present training fits him for the
head of the city government and
we confidently expect business
administration. This is peculiarly the
time when we need to adhere to sane
economical policy. There is abundant
room for criticism of past extravaganza
and blunders in the city council, tho
we do not propose at this time to dig
up skeletons, rather shall we content
ourselves with the hope that the new
council will profit by past experience
and from this time on devote itself to
line OF strict economy.

One per cent is col lected on incomes up to $20,000, on amounts between that and $50,000 an additional one per cent and further increase up to six per cent on incomes over $50,OO0. It is this increase above one per cent, the surtax, which with "collections at the source" Is being fought. To prevent the hiding of in- comes the law ordered that all com panies paying dividends on stocks and bonds deduct the amount of the tax and pay it to the government be- fore they paid the dividends to the stock and bond holders. This is the "collection at the source' feature. There was an immediate wall when the tax first took effect, and several taxpayers took their cases into court. These have sifted down to the five be- fore the Supreme court. In these five almost every provision of the law is attacked, and upon the decision of the court rests the constitutionality of all of these provisions. A decision is expected at any time, but it is possi- ble the court will wait until Justice Lamar now ill, returns to the bench, before making a decision. Congress is expected to go ahead with it's amendments, if the court decision is not returned soon.

CHANGES PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Dee. 29.-The In- come Tax law is in for long hard winter. The President, the Supreme Court, Secretary of the Treasury Me Adoo and any number of committees and factions in Congress have de signs on the act. It may appear strong and well in the spring; it may be crippled and i, may be dead. The fate of the law and of the many amendments which are being planned, rests largely upon the Supreme courts decision in the five eases pend ing. If the law comes through that ordeal whole, it must still pass into the hands of congress. President Wilson wants the exemptions of the tax lowered, and the surtax started at a lower figure and increased more rapidly than at present. Secretary McAdoo wants the rates of taxation on both individual and corporate in- comes increased. the exemptions re-

duccd from S8,OOO to S2,OOO for single persons and from $4,OOO to $S,OOO for married; and the surtax started at $1O.OOO or $15,OOO instead of $2O,OOO. Many administration men in congress will seek to amend the law in conform ity with these plans. Senator Owen wants the tax increased to fifty per cent on incomes of $5O,OOO year and up. Republicans are expected to in- troduce bills removing the "collec- ton at the source" feature and pos Sibly tightening the surtax. The in- come tax law became effective Oct. 8, 1913, after a constitutional amend meut for it had been ratified by three fourths of the states. Most tax authorities favored it because it was to be the largest trial on this cOntin- ent of a system designed to make tax lodging difficult. The administration liked it because it brought a revenue of SSO,OOO,OOO a year. Now the ad- ministration wants to raise more revenue by this means and opponents of income taxation want to amend it to raise less. The present law pro-
