Much Travel south


 "It is mighty cold in Chicago said Frank l.. Farrell, the genial Pullman conductor of the Seminole Limited, who was at the Tutwiler yesterday. MT. Farrell had just returned from the Windy City.
 "There was snow and sleet in Chit cago when I let there yesterday, and it's mighty nice to get back where IL ia slightly warmer. On my trips With the Seminole Limited during the win ters 1t is snow and harsh winds while in Chicago and then balmy sunshine In Jacksonville. Other than keeping me hnsy changing clothes for the weather contrast in the south and north, which fig all in 6 days work, traveiing on the Seminole Limited in the winter IS pleasure indeed.
 "There are crowds coming to the south. there is new spirit of pros- perity and judging from the present rate of travel there will be a large increase in visitors from the north In the south this winter"
 Growing Popularity of Music "The theatres in some of the large cities are not as well patronized as they used to be. and many managers find 1t difficult to account for the waning inter est in the stage" said Richard E. Diet- rich of New York.
 "The moving picture shows have un- doubtedly hurt the business of the aver age playhouse But it is fact worthy of note that high-class musical perform ances-grand opera, symphony concerts and artist recitals-attract larger auol- ences now than they did even Tour or l five years ago. One frequently sees | play of real merit presented to New York audience that does not fill half the seats.
 Tn New York we have a number Of symphony concerts every week, to say nothing of the opera, and there is scarce 1 ly ever a vacant seat This is decidedly encouraging to the promoters of artistic music.
 American compositions and American musicians are steadily growing In favor but discriminating music lovers as rule take no stock in the American fad sim | ply for the sake of manifesting patriot l ism. On this point the Musical Courier 1 struck the right. cord in an editorial ac' count of recent recital by Albert Spald- 1 ing. In the headline the famous vis- itor was styled Violin Artist and Amer lican,' but the word American was ir very small letters. The Courier explained thus: We put the word American in non

the possibilities of differentiation in
rate on different kinds of income, for
instance, learned" or "unearned,' and
suggests the possibility that in this
country such differentiation may not
be necessary to provide just taxatlon
on account of the heavy state and To-
cal taxes.
The final general discussion relates
to the taxation of corporations and Is
suggested by the peculiar and much
complained of limitation on interest
deduction by corporations. The COM
mittee submits the two views, one that
an income tax should be tax on per-
sons only, the other that it should be
in part a business tax and that thus it,
is not unfair to tax both the individ-
ual and the corporation on the same
income. 1t makes no recommendation
on this point.

SUBMIT REPORT ON
Income TAX LAW.
National Tax Association Commit
tee Makes II Recommendations

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The report
! of the committee of the National Tax
! association on the Federal Income Tax
! law was made to the National Confer
ence on Taxation last night, setting
forth seventeen distinct recommended
all the members of the committee.
Prof. e. r. A. Seligman, of Columbia
University is chairman of this COM
mittee, which includes a number of
men prominent as students of taxation
systems The chief recommendations
of the committee were summarized as
follows
THAT the system of collection at
source be abandoned and a system of
informa tion-at-source substituted eX-
cept as to nonresident American citi-
zens and as to nonresident aliens to
the extent that they are taxable.
Partnerships Like Corporations.
THAT partnerships should be treat
ed like corporations in the collection
of the normal tax.
THAT individuals should be allowed
TO ueuucC ali losses whether
in trade or not; also all expenses of
managing investments. This recon-
mendation would meet a Widespread
present criticism.
Lowered to $4,000.
'"That the exemption should be low
cred to $4,000 on the ground that
the tax should rest upon q larger pro-
portion of the population.
THAT all persons having a gross in
come equal to the minimum exemp-
ton should file returns instead of us
now only those who themselves decide
that their net income is over the eX-
empt amount.
THAT corporations should not be
taxed on dividends received from 9TH
err taxable corporations"
Discusses General Matter.
Following the specific recommends
tons the committee discusses general
matters which it thinks should he
considered in any general reconstruc-
ton of the act when that shall be ui-
dertaken. 1t refers to the departure
in various instances from the funda-
mental conception of income and in
stances the commission of rental value
Of a house as income to the owner
thus giving him an unfair advantage
as compared with the renter. 1t crit
cises the injustice of the present law
in relation to double taxation in the
case of aliens and nonresident Am
erican citizens. 1t notes the failure in

KEY TO THE BALKAN
GITUATION AT SOFIA
Serbian Minister to Italy, Declares in
Intervicw-Says Bulgaria Does
Not Wish to Move

Rome, Wednesday, Aug 13.-"The
key to the Balkan situation is not
at Nish or Athens, but at Sofia'' said
M. Ristitch, Serbian minister to Italy,
in an interview published today in
the Tribuna
Bulgaria does not wish to move.
She makes impossible proposals to
the quadruple entente and thus gains
time without declaring herself.
IF Serbia gave Bulgaria not only
a portion Of Macedonia, but Belgrade
itself, Bulgaria would still find some
excuse for not moving. The only
way to clear the Balkan skies IS
for Germany to make a serious at
tack on Serbia. AS it would be
necessary to make this attack on the
Danube, near Orsova, Rumania would
be obliged to come forward to pre-
vent herself from being cut off from
the rest of Europe. If Rumania
moves Bulgaria will be obliged to
decide one way or the other"
