JUNE BUSY month
FOR Revenue OFFICE
All Special Taxes Become
Due al the Same
Time
ADD PENALTY
ON JULY 81

There will be at least one place in
this section where there Will be no
complaint as to the volume of business
during June, and that is the internal
revenue office in this city While this
Office has had several record rushes
during the past two years when the
individual income tax, the emergency
revenue tax and the opium tax laws
became effective, this experience will
beat them all for the reason that all
taxes become due and papable at the
one time Therefore, taxpayers will
relieve themselves of much annoyance
and inconvenience If they file their re-
quired returns and pay such taxes as
may be due by them as early In the
month of June as practicable.
Those chiefly concerned in the pay
ment of taxes this year are cigar
manufacturers, manufacturers of to-
bacco, dealers in leaf tobacco and
dealers in tobacco and cigars, brokers,
proprietors of pool and billiard rooms,
bowling alleys, theatres and circuses,
who will pay a tax for six months
only, as the tax expires under the law
on December 81, 1915. Therefore,
only One-half of the amount as set
forth on the reverse side of form ia
should be remitted to the collector
Forms 11A have been already mailed
to all persons having paid the tax
or the term ending June 30,
While an early payment of the take
will greatly facilitate the work Of tn
revenue office, it is even more import
ant for the taxpayer, since if his ta'
is not paid and his stamp posted a
his place of business on July l, he i
rendered liable to a penalty equal t.
the special tax and costs of prosecu
lion. A penalty of 50 per cent. accrue
ON all special taxes not paid befor
July 3D.
All the taxpayers under the oil
revenue laws, such as brewers and rec
tifers,, and retail and wholesale liquo
dealers. dealers in oleomargarine, etc
will pay full years tax as heretofore
The same is true of those paying in
come tax and all persons registering
under the Harrison opium act.

NEW RUSSIAN LAWS
AGAINST CORPORATIONS
(By Associated Press

Petrograd, May 2S-The new Rus
sian laws, directed against enemy
corporations" operating in Russia,
are thus officially summarized:
1.-THE measures authorize the
Council of Ministers to close stock
companies operating under statutes
, sanctioned within. the Empire, with
the appointment Of a special board
for the liquidation of the business in
those cases where the actual man
agement is in the hands of subjects,
companies or institutions of coun-
tries which are at war with Russia
and whose operations appear to be
harmful or dangerous to the State.
1t is provided, however, that the
rights of creditors are not to be in
fringed and that the interests of
stockholders are to be observed as
far as possible.
LAS an alternative, the Council
may appoint special board of man
agement for the business of such
alien companies. without closing
them or taking them over
The same regulations are to be
applied also to partnerships If any
of the full partners are subjects of
enemy countries, if it is found that
the work of these partnerships is
harmful or dangerous to the inter-
cts of the State
The codifying of these special
measures against enemy" compan-
les and partnerships is presumably
done in an effort to restrict illicit
trade with Germany and Austria,
which has been going on to certain
extent through Scandinavia since
the beginning of the war.

GROWING PEANUTS

Nearly all our farmers here buy
seed of peanuts every year, and make
no effort to save their own seed. In
fact they know nothing about hand
ling the crop except for hog pasture.
Asking them why they say they do
not know how. Please tell us how
economically to plant, fertilize and
harvest peanuts This will interest
those who wish to sve their own seed
and plant for hogs. From Georgia.
Peanuts of the large white Vir-
ginia variety are commonly hulled
for planting. The Spanish nuts are
often planted in the hulls. The rows
should be made about two and half
feet apart and the nuts dropped IS
inches apart. Five hundred pounds
an acre of Thomas phosphate AMI 100
pounds of cottonseed meal, in the alb
sence of potash, may make the nuts
on your upland soil. The Thomas
phosphate will carry lime enough for
the peanuts. Cultivation must of
course be clean. The nuts are lifted
when mature and shocked around
stakes about six feet high, nuts next
the stake and tops out and left in
this way to cure. They are then
picked out and shipped to the clean

$4,000 GERMANS TO

London, May 2S-The Admiralty

Germans of military age now at

SOCIALIST DEFENSE
LEAGUE ORGANIZED
(By Associated Press. }

London, May 2S-The Socialist
National Defense League has been
organized by pro-war group of So
cialists including John Hodge, M. P.
Robert Blatchford, the writer, A.
S. Headingly, one of the leaders of
the Social Democratic Party, George
H. Roberts. NJ. p. Charles Duncan.
NJ. p, and H. G. Wells, the novel;
list, to combat the Keir Hardie and
Ramsey Macdonald anti-war group.
I'm this hour of national peril"
says the manifesto prepared by the
League, when the independence of
peoples is brutally menaced and the
established public law and liberia
ties of Europe are rustlessly vilote-
ed, handful Of pseudo-socilalists in
this country are breaking the nat
ional solidarity and weakening the
national effort in the face of the
enemy. 1T has become a duty for
true British Socialists to expose and
repudiate the errors of these dream
ers. All of them are, consciously or
unconsciously, the agents of German
Kaiserdom and traitors to the i'm
perishable ideals of liberty and dem
ocracy which have united free Brit
tain, independent Belgium and Re-
publican France in an indissoluble
and glorious alliance"
In the manifesto the following at
tack is made on German Socialism:
"What is the German claim? Put
briefly it may be summed up in the
assertion that because an unwilling
b-Austrian subject killed an Aus
trian prince, Austria had the right
to ravage the Serbs; and because
Russia interviewed to prevent Serbian
annihilationl Germany was justified
in exterminating the national indie
pendence of Belgium.
Civic freedom and national in
dependence are elementary princi-
pies of socialism. We cannot treat
with German socialists until they de
clare for these as the Socialists of
Russia have declared. Socialism ex-
presses itself internationally. 1t can
not develop anti-nationallN.
German Socialism has always
been limited by political immaturity
and bureaucratic ideals. The pres
ent war is a choice between organiz-
ed liberty and mere organization.
British pro-war Socialists have
made much of Liebkneckt, the Ger
man Socialist who fought the war
budget in the Reichstag, while
German Socialists united for the |
Fatherland treat Hardie and Mac
Donald as heroes.
