School, The Social Center.
Miss Moore
( By Mrs. Eva Nieman.)


The social relation of school and
those having an interest in our
schools may be amply compared to
heap of embers which, when sep
arated, soon languish, darken and
expire, but if placed together glow
with a ruddy and intense heat, a
just emblem of strength, happiness
and security.
From social intercourse is deriv-
ed some of the highest enjoyments
of life. Where there is a free inter
change of opinion the mind acquires
new ideas and, by frequent exer-
else of it's powers, the understand
ing gains fresh vigor.
Our country school house itself,
along with the country church, is
the center of many of our social in
terests and activities of the neigh
borhood.
The young people in the absence of
other opportunities for recreation,
naturally gather at the school house
and amuse themselves in simple
ways.
How we'll 1 remember the day
when spelling matches, debating
clubs and literary societies were the
fact. The older members of the COM
munity readily joined with school
children in these neighborhood
functions.
Will we allow the idea to ripen
that the school is no longer the So
cial center of the community? l
trust not, but 1 do often feel that a
child, educated. in our rural school
now, is less efficient socially than his
grandfather, partly because there is
no longer the rich neighborhood life
which formerly supplemented the
narrow training of the school, and
partly because the school itself has
not only tried to meet new social de-
mands, but has even lost touch with
life as it is.
The recent revival, so called, 1.-THE
Hesperia Movement" is adding and
will continue to add much good to
the life of our schools. All OF us re
alize that the great problem of rural
betterment which now confronts the
whole nation and upon the happy So
luton of which the welfare of the
nation depends, is in part a problem
of education.
The need is evident. a development
of interests in country problems,
higher ideals of rural life, more so
; ciability, more opportunity for
healthy-minded recreation in the
the country. To all of these ends
the school can contribute something
and it must do so if it is to realize
the social ideal in the education
which it attempts to furnish. So il
is good and helpful to meetBn friendly
meetings and pour out the social
cheer which so WHITES the weary and
respondent heart 1t elevates our
feelings and makes us better for the
world.

RAILWAY SECURITIES.

Government ownership is going to
be a reality in America some OF
these days, and it will most likely
come during the life of the present
generation. Public sentiment crystal
izes fast and there is tendency to-
ward government ownership now.
The one leading factor that is go
ing to bring about this result is the
destruction of values of railway Sc
curities. This has been done in three
ways the misuse of funds by oihc-
ials of the roads; the reduction OF
revenues by federal and state rulings,
and laws: and by the raising oil
wages of labor. 1t is getting now so
that money TO construct new lines can
scarcely be had and government con
troll may be necessary to keep rail-
way building in line with the de-
mands of the country for new roads.
Government ownership is not with
out its dangers When government
employees operate all the public ser
vice corporations of the country, these
employees will hold the balance OF
political power in the government
they will always vote for the party
already in power, and it will pave the
way for greater evils, possibly than
we have now.
If necessity of public operation o'
railway lines should come it would
be far better to leave them in pri'
vate control, but place all roads un
der an advisory board, which shal
pass upon matters Of salary and othe
appropriations made by boards o
directors. This action would preven
loss and mismanagement and woul'
relieve the railway companies of tn
charges OF waste and graft mad
against them.

THE MAN OF WHISPERS

One of the famous criminal lawyers
of Texas, when employed on the side
of the defense. will not take a man
on his Jury who wears a chin beard.
The old timer is the man who wears
the chin card. he is not given to
following fads, he believes IN justice
without any sugar coating; he was a
pioneer. and lived in the days when
the horsethief was not given a very
lengthy trial, and when every mans
word was as good as his note. and
when the chattel mortgage had not
been discovered
The man with the chin beard is
willing to listen to the lawyer but
he will not leave the jury box with
streams of tears flowing down his
cheeks. and base his verdict upon
what he feels while under the spell
of the lawyers eloquence.
The criminal lawyer understands
this and he does not want the man
who wears a chin beard on his jury
when he has a bad case, and when he
wants to turn his man loose.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
All individuals Liable to Make Re
turns OF Income Must File.

The federal income tax act of Oc-
tober 9. 1913, fixing March first as
the last day upon which all returns
of net income for the preceding cal
endar year must be filed in the Office
OF the t. S. collector of internal
revenue. and severe penalties are
prescribed for delinquency This law
applies to every corporation Except
in the few instances specifically eX-
empted in the law regardless of the
character of its business, the amount
of business transacted by it or wheth-
er or not it has been fully organized
or done any business at all If the
entity is clothed with "A corporate
franchise, either secured during 1914
or at any previous time, and has
done or may do business as a cor
poration, a return must be made. For
failing to file this return on or be-
fore March l. 1915, for the calendar
year ended December 81, 1914, pen
atty of the maximum of $4,000 is
imposed, and Immediately after March
1 / the legal machinery of the gov
ernment is invoked for the enforce
ment of these penalties.
Individuals, under this law, whose
net income for the calendar year was
$4,000 or over, must also file their
returns with the collector not later
than March /. 1915. While the civil
penalty for delinquency in the case
of individuals is not so severe, the
penalty cannot bel ess than $50 and
may be as high as $1,000.
The collectors office for the state
of Oklahoma is located in Oklahoma
! City, Okla. and every corporation, as
well as every individual liable to
make a return, coming within his
jurisdiction, must have the return in
his office not later than March /,
which is next Monday
| While the duty of securing the
necessary blank for this purpose
rests upon the taxpayer the collector
has nevertheless endeavored to place
| a blank in the hands of every cor
poration and of every individual who
might be liable to make a return
but the non receipt of a blank is
no excuse for not rendering the re-
turn. and when the stringent penal
ties are once incurred no excuse can
relieve delinquent from them.
In the case of an individual the
law is quite interesting in its opera
ton. Quite frequently an individual
may have to make a return, because
his net income is $4,000, but yet,
after he has claimed his exemption of
$4,000 or $4,000, (as the case may be)
and deducted it in the blank, he has
no tax to pay. However. as the pen
atty attaches in all cases of delin-
! Quency, q person who files his re
turn late. even though he may not
have to pay a tax after taking his
exemption, would find himself paying
severe penalty. In addition to the
penalties already mentioned, delin-
uuent corporations and individuals
filing returns showing taxable in
come have assessed against them a
| tax penalty. which amounts to 30
per cent additional on the tax LA
bility or one half per cent additional
on the taxable income. This tax
penalty is in addition to the regular
tax.
