THE INCOME TAX
RETURNS

Within few days the blanks have
been distributed for returns for in.
come tax for the year 1915. A year
ago at this time 1t would be difficult
to eXaggerite the annoyance felt by
those liable to such tax. The regu-
lations OF the treasury department
Were more or less vague.
Bank men and other authorities
d..eseu 40 To tnelr Interpretation
Some argued that a married couple
would have to pay tax If their joint
income was $4,000, while others de.
C AIRED that Joint income under
$1,000, might be exempt. To compli.
cate the matter furthe-, last years
return was for but five siXths OF a
year, After the income on q given
item was figured out fer a year. II
had to be divided by FIVE sixths.
Many tax payer found that his
arithmetic had gone bad under this
scholastic test. The profanity ex.
pended was infinite.
One tax payer known to the writ
er, being in doubt as to what ex-
emption he might claim, lett the
exemption line in the return blank,
thinking that the internal revenue
officials would fill il out for him, but
they failed to do SO. So he had to
pay the tax on his whole income
without exemption, then go through
the red tape of filing sworn petition
for refund, with corrected returns,
and the repayment has not yet been
made.
Last year some newspapers con
busted columns Of questions and an
swers ON the income tax. Leaned au.
thorities offered answers surrounded
by much legal yerbiage, over which
the perplexed tax payer puzzled his
head as best he might.

ADulTERATiON OF OATS
70 BE STOPPED

Seventy-flve carloads OF oats in
tended for export have recently been
seized by the Federal authorities
because they were found to be adu.-
terated within the meaning OF the
food and drugs act. The adultcra-
ton charged is the addition of Feed
barley or water, or both. Under Ger
tain circumstances adulteration In
these ways may be so profitable that
1t Is believed to be at times a com.
mon practice among grain shippers.
The government, however. is determ.
med that the practice shall cease at
once and field representatives OF the
department Of agriculture have all
been instructed to exercise the ut.
most vigilance In detecting .uture
shipments adulterated In this way
Low grade barley, which is known
to the trade as feed barley" Is some
times mixed with oats when there is
sufficient difference between the
prices Of the two grains to make
this profitable. This feed barley"
is the product which remains after
the best grade of the grain has been
separated and removed for mailing
purposes, II contains material per.
centages Of weed seeds, foreign
grains, and dust, and the addition
to oats of such a product is he'd to
be a violation of the food and drugs
act that the grain Is sold by weight.
Investigations of the Department Of
Agriculture have revealed the fact
that water is sometimes added In
the amount of from 2 to per cent.
In the opinion of the government
officials there is no reason why eth
er Of these practices should be toll
Grated. Grain shippers and dealerO.
therefore, are being warned that the
prevalence of the custom In the past
will not affect the legal proceedings
against future shipments found to be
adulterated in this way.

THE HIGH COST OF FOOD
DISTRIBUTION mo. ~

The question will be asked, why
can not the farmers sell more OF
their proauct direct to the retail
ers?
The position of the retailer Is
sensible enough. III he were to buy
his potatoes of the nearest farmer
raising same, he would have to clean
up the farmers crop all at time.
Then lie would have to store the po-
tatoes, and take the risk of their
decaying. This would make 1t nee
essary Tor hun to have larger cap
ital, or 40 business on borrowed mDn.
ey.

dent course for the retailer to buy
Oh me Wholesaler IN small quantities
as he fee sure tnat he will need
the goods. In so doing he avoids the
risk OF heavy loss due to falling mar
kets and depreciation He keeps his
money wnele he can get 1t back b.
qm:k turns.
This method assures the salvation
OF the retailer, but piecemeal handi.
ing in small lots Is terribly costly
Tor the consumer.
The one point where the farmers
fan, In AL enorLs to sell dnect to
retall trade, Is lnaDllity to provide
regular supplies of their product. Ii
Lacy would uJope ate and provide Ia.
cInIies for storage OF products, so
that they could let retailers have
small shipments from week to week
.s heeueu, ,ney would be In u post
ton to dispense with the costly ser
vices OF many Jobbers, commission
men, auction houses, and wholesal.
erS.
NO one farmer can provide these
facilities. 1t calls for a united effort
IN some cooperative organization. A
small share OF the cost OF the mid.
d emen would pay the cost of such
cooperative handling.
Farming has been in a rut. The
farmer is an lndividualist, he prides
himself on his independent conduct
OF his own business. His isolation
makes him suspicious or cooperative
projects. He must learn that no one
succeeds in 10th century business on
a basis of isolation and suspicion.

THE PRICE OF
BREAD

The sensational rise in the price
of -four makes a higher price for
bread inevitable If the bakers do
not advance the price of the single
loaf, they must reduce its size, or
dilute its quality.
For the poor immigrant, who often
pays not over 81 a week for food,
bread is the main dependence. He
may have mis- kettle OF soup, ed
from bony hunks of meat that no
one else wi touch. But this costs
little, and Is merely an appetizer.
His long rolled loaf, serving for sew
eral meals, Is the main backbone for
his muscular task. When he ac-
quires a family his board bill increas-
es, but household of bread eaters
lives cheaply. But 20 to SO per
cent advance is a blow.
Mrs. Julian Heath of New YORK,
PRECEDENT of the Housewives League,
says that IL this exigen:y, more fam
lilies should accustom themselves to
the use of corn bread, the price OF
which has not risen appreciably.
Also much might be said OF the value
and healthfulness of rye.
1t is singular fact that a great
many well to do families always use
corn and rye -four prominently, pre-
ierring their flavor, while many poor
.amiiies continue to stick to white
wheat -four, even in times OF scare
lty, and in spite OF the fact that much
of the nutriment of wheat Is lost in
the process of boiling.
In many old time homes, corn
johnny cake was a special treat that
made the children's eyes sparkle.
Served steaming hot, 1t brought the
comfort OF summer sunshine on
aintry morning, and its golden color
made it seem almost like sponge
cake.
Hasty pudding was another staple
that the old timers would prefer 10
the most fancy dessert your modern
cook will devise. White flour pro-
ducts will come high before the new
crop is on the market, and thrifty
cooks will seek substitutes.

haste, but this year the blank return
is in much better shape, and seems
clear enough in ordinary cases.
space is left for the wifes return
after each item, so that one blank
can cover the income Of both hus-
band and wife.
While many income tax payers are
not reconciied to this tax, and argue
that 1t is unfair, this is a country
where II pays to submit good natur-
eddy to the will OF the majority. The
average man can not get much ex-
cited about the sufferings Of his
neighbor on a $4,000 income, who is
taxed SEQ Under the law.

Information which would allay alarm

In reply, Sir Stanley o. Buckmas-
ter, director Of the press bureau, de.

he had never withheld for i've min
utes any information that he possess
