The Aecid.n, Map.

On the walls OF room at police
headquarters In New York city are
largs maps VI the i've boroughs. These
maps are covered with many large nnd
small pins Of various colors. Each
color denotes u particular kind Of nc

white headed pin represents u fatal
automobile accident. while a small one
OF the same color represents similar
but not serious accident In the same
manner large green headed pin indi-
Gates a fatal trolley cur accident. The
map OF Manhattan shows that n long

A PLUNGE IN THE ROGUE.

May is giving that perfect brand OF
climatic condition for which the
Rogue valley is famous. A cloudless
sky, with the mercury standing up
in the sos during the heat of the day,
has made the more hardy youth seek
the cool of the waters of the Rogue,
and for the past few days swimming
has been more or less popular pas
time with the boys. The season has
been bit more backward than was
last, accepting the verdict OF the boy
as the test, for last spring the first
of the bathers took their plunge the
middle Of April. It is not to be con-
sidered, however, that the Rogue
bathing season is yet on in all of Its
glory, for there is a chill to the water
that is but few miles from the melt
ing SHOWS that will keep many from
the plunge till later.

FTER EVADERS OF
THE INCOME TAX

Washington. May S.--Secretary
McAdoo Is directed to furnish con-
gress with statement showing
whether $S20, ,O00, 900 is being annu-
ally withheld from the treasury by
income tax frauds and evasions. In
resolution offered In the house today
by Congressman Keating OF Colorado.
McAdoo IL asked why he has not
recommended to the president that
all income tax returns be made public
in order that fraud may be checked,
Heating said he based his resolu-
tion on the charges made by Basil NJ.
Manly. chief investigator Of the in
dustrial welfare relations commits
sion.
Manly. In a published statement,
declared that more than $400. .000.-
900 should be received annually, in
stead Of the $50. 900. 900 actually col
lected. The resolution asks whether:
Fifteen billion dollars was paid in
wages and salaries during 1914,
$500. .000. 900 being paid to men re-
ceiving $4,000 year or more;
whether more than $300,000,000
yearly above the $4,000 exemption Is
received as income from fees: wheth-
er $50, 10000 is received as income
from ownership OF property and the
conduct OF business above the $4,000
exemption; whether incomes received
by persons subject to income tax total
20,S66.000 and whether. with all
proper deductions. the figure should
be s14.5oo.o0o.
Introducing his resolution. Keat-
ing said:
"You may discount Manly's charges

which makes all other frauds here
tofore perpetrated seem insignificant
Three hundred and twenty million dol
lars represents the income OF 6OO.-
900 workingmen, who have labored
every day in the year. The nations
pension rolls are enormous, but the

Koreans were quick to quarrel In an.

on this account. At one time histo-

measures were necessary. A law was
promulgated ordering adult males to

crowned with this fragile gear, and
the penalties for removing II were &C.

nature Of the inhabitants changed as

UNDER-SEA ATTACKS
BY GERMANS CEASE

Washington, May Slope OF de-
finitely disposing Of the submarine
issue before Sunday. the anniversary
of the Lusitania sinking, waned to-
day when unofficial dispatches from
Berlin said that the reply to the
American submarine demands was
not ready.
In order to reach Washington by
Saturday, the note should be cabled
tomorrow night. While this is pos
sible, 1t Is regarded as rather improb-
able.
It seems certain that when the
note is cabled It will have the ap-
proval OF all Germans. from the en-
peror to the peoples representatives
In the reichstag.
There is no disposition yet. Off
cials say, to set a time limit for the
answer. As long as Germany is OBJ
viously seeking to solve the difficulty
it Is not likely that the United States
will complain.
Pending the reply submarines have
refrained from their present meth
DDS" against commerce. This inter
probation is placed upon the cessa-
tion Of attacks. It Is believed that
orders were sent to submarine COM
manders Immediately upon receipt
of the Wilson note. There has been
a marked decrease in the number Of
attacks. Since Saturday not single
vessel has been reported torpedoed.

GROWING SUGAR BEET SEED.

GROWING SUGAR BEET SEED.
II the tests being made this season
under the direction of Geo. Austin.
cultural expert Of the Utah sugar
companies. should prove that the
Rogue valley can meet his anticipa-
lions in the production Of sugar beet
seed, it will have opened a new indus
try Of great possibilities. The Utah
companies have of late years been
producing a portion of the seed for
their own paintings in their own state,
but much of the seed has had to come
from Germany. Russia. and other
countries from across the sea. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Austin, this imported
seed costs 80 cents per pound with
carriage added, though the home
grown seed has been distributed
among their own farmers at Is cents
per pound. That supplied the grow
ers Of the Grants Pass district is
Utah-grown seed, and was charged
for at the rate~of only Is cents,
though its market price is fully
double that now. The markets OF
Europe being closed through the war,
beet seed has been at premium this
season, and it was only by coopera-
tion with the Utah people that 1t was
possible to get enough for the Grants
Pass factory.
A yield Of 1900 pounds Of seed can
be reasonably expected from an acre,
90 that the possibility Of profit Is
much greater from this branch OF
beet farming than even from growing
beets for the sugar.

Farmers Point of View.

Editor Nirginiau:
Sir,--Mr. Joseph Rossenbach's letter
on the egg boycott In your issue of the
nth was intensely interesting to me.
He very clearly showed the injustice
of boycott on fresh laid eggs to the
Virginia poultrymnn. who is not con-
sidered, in the general clan1or against
speculation in the cold storage variety.
May / add to this poultryman' pro-
test, a plea for the general farmer in
the consideration by the public OF the
steps TO be taken to reduce the cost
OF foodstuffs? The boycott is admit
tedly aimed at that class of citizens,
indefinitely spoken of as niddlemen.
the large majority OF whom are resi-
dents of the cities. and ! am afraid
that the average person who urges
the use OK this weapon against the
middleman fails to realize that the
blow may fall on the farmer as well
The Virginia farmer seldom gets more
for his produce than II is actually
worth, ana 1t is no less unfair to be-
grudge him the prices that the pres
ent conditions make possible than ii
is 20 put the whole burden Of dealing
with the city middlemen on the farm
