TAX BOOKS NOT CLOSED.
Further Time is Given People to;
People to Make Returns to
Commissioner of Revenue.

{ Early last week it was ennounceo
that Charles H. Callahan, commits:
sioner of Revenue, would continue td
receive tax returns up until june
goth. when they would be returned
over to W. N. Lipscomb, examiner OF
records of this district. On Friday
it was published that the tax books
were closed. This information was in
error as the difference between the
list and the books was not clearly un;
derstood
The following letter from Mr.. Cal
lahan is self-explanatory.
Editor Alexandria Gazette: read
with surprise in Fridays Gazette
that "the Tax Books of the State of
Virginia, so far as Alexandria is
concerned, were closed last night
by Charles H. Callahan, Commits
sioner of the Revenue. This state
ment, while harmless in way, is
misleading and may prevent delayed
returns from coming in unless re-
futed and the nature of this report
to the Examiner of Records ex-
planned. AS matter of fact the
Tax Books have not been compiled
nor have the blank Personal Property
books been received from the Audi
tor of Public Accounts, who supplies
them to Commissioners Under the
new tax law OF segregation act, the
commissioners are required to assess
personal property and incomes or
sheets especially prepared for that
purpose. These lists mot the Tax
Books(, under the law, are to be
delivered to the Examiner of Records
for inspection by that officer and the
Local Board of Review not later
than the last day of June, 1915, and
the 1st day of April thereafl er Ow-
ing to delays in receiving the blank
forms and the consequent delays in
getting them in the hands of the tax
payers, the time was extended and
June 10th fixed as the date upon
which the Commissioner SHOULD make
his returns of lists" to the exami-
ner.
1t is also pertinent to say at this
time that Mr.. Lipscomb has informed
the Commissioner that he, fMr. Lips
comb) is not yet ready To receive his
report mad the assessment will con-
tinue until the house to house canvas
is completed which will take at least
three weeks, mad those who have
failed to make their. returns, may
continue to do so, notwithstanding
that the time for closing the lists
has expired.
CHAS. H. CALLAHAN.
Commissioner of the Revenue.

"UNITED WE WIN"

United we stand; divided we fall"
was slogan which led to victory
in the trying times before the found
ing of the American republic. 1t is
a truth which applies to all contests
iu which groups of individuals are
engaged. 1t had peculiar application
to the believers in Republican prin-
ciples in 1912 and will be an appro-
pirate motto for those same people
to follow in 1916.
Republicans and Progresives re-
gardles of party designation and re-
CARELESS of the attitude of few in
dividuals who may possibly be actu-
ated by ambition or other selfish mo-
tives, undoubtedly advocate govern
ment by law and not by men, encour-
agement rather than encouragement
of individual initiative, intelligent
tariff legislation, national prepared
ness, and federal aid to good roads
with the responsibility of initiative
and location left to the states so that
the system shall be co-operated rath-
err than paternalastic. The Democrat
ic party as such is wholly opposed
to al these policies, as evidenced by
both word and act.
Certainly the surest way Of attain
ing these goals, is by coalition of the
Progressive with the Republican party
and we see no excuse for any Progress
sive refusing to affiliate againg with
the Republican party. No one man or
small group of men dominate that
partly, and if "boss ridden" is applic-
able at all it is certainly applicable
to the Progressive and the Democrat
ic parties, for one or two men WELD
more in fluence with those parties I,
than any dozen men do with the Re-
publican party. A division Of the
people believing in the same princi-
pies resulted in the election of the
present administration in 1912. A
continued division IN 1915 may result
n q perpetuation of this administra-
ion. We believe, however, that

ALLIES EXTENDING
FRONT IN BELGIUM
By ]. W. T. Mason.



NEW YORK, Sept, 1.-THE Brit
ish front in Belgium and France is
being extended and French troops
that have held the western trenches
for nearly a year are now being re-
leased for work elsewhere.
The British line until lately meas
ured about 80 miles, running from
north of Ypres to the southern en-
virons of La Basse. 1t is usual to
reckon man to foot in estimat-
ing the number of troops required to
hold entrenched positions. The Brit
ish front of thirty miles therefore,
needed about 100000 men. Two
months ago it became known that the
British had at least between 100000
and 100000 troops in France. This
number was sufficient to stretch the
British line to approximately 100 miles
for purely defensive purposes.
Reports are circulating that in fact
the British at present hold full 100
miles of western trenches. In all
probability, however, these rumors
are much exaggerated. The entire
western front from the North sea to
Scissors, where the line turns to the
east, measures scarcely more than 1875
miles. That the British dominate this
line to the extent of holding so per
cent of it is highly improbable. If
the French have been so largely re-
lieved of guarding the western trench
es, it is inexpl.cabie how the Ger
mans recently have been able to make
quite respectable gains in the Ar
gJnne.
The British possibly have stretch
ed their line 20 miles so that it now
may terminate south of Arras, but
they have scarcely done more than
this, if indeed as much. A moderate
redistribution along the western front
might well be arranged not only for
reasons but also to per-
nit the French to pursue more eff
fectively their offensive in Alsace.
But, large replacement of British
troops will probably not occur until
the ammunition situation in the
United Kingdom is much improved.
II the British are to develop = new

The eastern newspapers have STIR
red the administration to the point of
preparing the United States for war.
But the common people are beginning
to think the agitation is being over
done. The mothers of America have
not reared their boys for targets of
civilized nations and it is generally
the one who goes around with chip
on his shoulder that gets into troub-
lie. Had it not been for the chips
on the shoulders of certain European
rulers the world would not be wit

offensive against the Germans they
will want to do SO either in Belgium
or near the Belgian border. 1t would
not fit in with British policy to en-
ploy their men on defensive duty far
away from the Belgian line. 1t was
Belgium's plight that carried the Brit
ish into the war. While the Brit
ish line therefore, is gradually be-
ing enlarged, it is probable most
of the British troops are still CON
centrated near Belgium. They must
remain concentrated if Sir John
French contemplates an offensive, for
a successful offensive will require
at least three times five thousand
men to the mile.

FEDERAL AND STATE
PRISON COOPERATION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept, 49,
Two new interesting and important
features have been added to the his
tory of the convict problem in the
United States.
Actual cooperation between state
and federal authorities in the care
and management of state convicts.
The application on a large scale, of
the honor system of government
negro convicts.
by the authorities of Fulton county,
Georgia and the office of public roads
of the department of agriculture.
After a years study of convict labor
conditions throughout the country as
applied to road building, j. f. Penny
packer, chief of the above division,
and H. S. Fairbank, highway engin-
Ger, who will be in actual charge of
the work, have completed plans for
the establishment of portable road
building camps within the next few
weeks.
Unlike most convict camps, the
buildings are to be constructed on the
portable plan and models for use at
exhibitions and county fairs have just
been completed by the bureau. The
are so arranged that the sides can
be readily taken out and screens
substituted and besides the bunk room
there will be kitchens, showers, and
recreation room. The sanitary
work has been planned and Past
Assistant Surgeon w. F. Draper Of
the public health service and is pat
termed otter the method employed
in army camps.
There will be fifty convicts in the
camp, who will do all the work of
assembling the buildings and strik-
ing them whenever it is necessary to
move. 1t is believed that one day
will be sufficient to make or break
camp, so carefully and ingeniously
have the buildings been constructed.
Officials claim a three-fold merit
for their program: First, it is bene-
fetal mentally, morally and physical
ly for the convicts. Second, it saves
the state money by introduction Of
more scientific methods of convict
labor and of road construction. And
third, It helps the state and the
country by turning out a greater num-
Der of miles of good road every year
than have been built heretofore.
