pike County Goes DRY"

Pikeville. KY. May 1.-THE pro-
hibition majority in the Pike county
local option election Saturday was
overwhelming. Out of 4.776 votes,
the "wets" received only $40. In
the Blackberry precinct. where three
saloons we're located the "wets" re-
ceived only forty-eight out of 1853
votes. Knox and Majestic precincts.
contiguous to Blackberry. polled only
two wet" ballots each.
Coburn precinct polled the largest
wet" vote. giving sixty-six out of
1856. Acting upon the warning Of
the Circuit Judge against the illegal
use of whiskey or other considera-
tions the saloonists failed to take
an active part in the election. The
liquor men in view of the great ma
jority will not contest the return.
The saloon keepers of Blackberry
have sixty days In which to discon-
tinue business.

Income Tax Law Is Severe

Contairs No Less Than Twenty
Five Manifest Errors De-

Washington. ID. c., May 90
Apart from specific defects. the struc-
ture of the act as a whole is open to
the gravest objections.
The criticism above quoted refers
to the income tax law, passed by the
Democratic Congress as a part Of the
tariff bill. 1t is taken from the re-
port of the Taxation Committee of
the American Bar Association. That
report was non-partisan, made mere

law improved from a formal and
technical point of view. 1t was an
extended. exhaustive and scientific
analysis. conducted by men of the
highest standing in the legal pro-
fession. Their conclusions there
fore may be regarded as fair and i'm
partial.
Their verdict is severe arraign-
ment Of the careless. haphazard me-
thods employed by the present ad-
ministration in the enactment of one
of its most important laws.
In this report of the income tax
law there are pointed out no less
than twenty-five manifest imperfec-
lions demanding correction by Con-
gress. Without amendment II is said
that the limit of the law can be

quirement of personal returns"
