has ended. Depleted by disease, sub

by a superior force of Russians, the
garrison has surrendered to the be-

many months, which. up TO the pres

worthy contribution to the war
Petrograd, London and Paris are
celebrating the eYent-Petrograd

London with silent and grim satisfae-

Antwerp, in that it not only releases
considerable Russian forces which can
be thrown into the struggle in the Car
pathians. but opens the door to Cra-

1t is argued. moreover, that the NOR
al effect of the surrender will be ire
mendous. the theory of the allies being
that it will stimulate feeling in their
favor both in Reumania and Bulgaria
just as the operations in the Darda-
nelles are causing an agitation in
Greece and Italy.
PrZemysl fell with honor. the British
press comedies, for it withstood the
onslaughts longer than any place dur
ing the war, the investment having
begun about September 16, something
more than six months ago.
The duration of the siege compared
with the length of time it took the
Germans to capture such strongholds
as Liege. Namur and Antwerp was due
TO two causes, one being the desire Of
the Russians to keep the loss of life
among the besieging army at a mini
mum; the other to the lack of great
guns. which the Germans had in Bel
GUM.

of shooting expedition INDUCED in by

The Przemysl garrison was estimat-

last week it was reported that 1t had
diminished to $4,000. There have been
recurrent reports of cholera and other
diseases, but these reports were as
vague as many of the premature re-

CharacteristfcIy Democratic.


Because of imperfections in the
income tax law numerous amend
mends will be recommended 10 the
next Congress by the treasury de-
partment.
Omeial experts are quietly at work
OF this statute. preparing report on
the cruditfes it contains and out
correct them. The law is honey
combed with errors.
a striking illustration OF this
thread OF weakness that runs through
the whole gamut of Democratic tegls-
laticn occurs in one of the most vital
provisions of the income tax law.
It relates to deductions that shall be
lalIowed In computing gross income
a basic element IN this system OF tax
alton.
Paragraph B of the law states that
"in computing income for the pur-
pose of the normal tax there shall be
allowed as deductions" among other
things losses actually sustained dur
ing the year incurred in trade" etc.
What is the meaning OF the words in
trade? The courts must decide
The phrase is capable of an infinite
variety of interpretations. AS COM
strued by the treasury department.
deductions from gross income for
losses "in trade" can be made only
IN connection with that which occu-
pies and engages the time. attention
and labor of anyone for the pr1rpose
of livelihood. profit or Improvement;
that which is his personal concern or
interest, employment, occupation, but
II IS not necessary that it should be
his sole occupation or employment.
For instance. it is said that If a
grocer has invested IN real estate, in
making his income tax return any
real estate profit must be added to
gross income; but losses from real
estate investment must not be de-
Quoted from gross income.
From every part OF the country
bitter complaints have been made
against this ruling. and the question
is to be taken to the courts for final
right or wrong. il is the uncertainty
of the statute that reflects upon the
intelligence of the political party re-
sponsible for it.
Nothing but heedlessness could
have permitted 1t. The tax payer
bears the burden of the blunder. for
it is maxim in governmental af-
fairs that every doubt In a law is
resolved in favor OF the government
by the administrative officers
Errors in the income tax law are
too numerous to mention in detail.
Witness the fact that in the first few
weeks OF its operation thousands
of applications for refund were made.
One of these has Just been allowed,
and is a fine example of the laws IN
certainty.
The department refunded to one
man who had paid $500 as income
tax all but S12 Of that amount. He
mad had the help of revenue officer

violation he paid the government

Examination of the department
decisions on the income tax law
shows mass Of contradictory
rulings. Over and over again opin-
ions were reversed and reversed, be-
cause the terms of the law did not
admit of clear Interpretation.
Every day additional evidence is
found that adds to the long list Of
Legislative bIunders committed by
the Democratic administration Flu

correct the mistakes. and meanwhile
the people must pay for them.
