Second, they must have complete
powers to make an examination of
books and papers, even if no return
has been made.
cat present only persons with net
incomes over $4,000 per year are re-
uuired to report, and this not only
give a man a chance to make his own
deductions for what may be imag-
mary expenses and losses and thus
salve his conscience, but also opens
a IoophoIe for ignorance and plain
fraud. Nobody can estimate with
any exactness what any mans net
income is, after the deductions which
the law allows are made, but in every
community the men with gross in
comes over $4,000 are well known.
If this change in the law is made it
will mean that we will get returns
eventually from all those who are
subject to the tax.
with this information as to who
the taxpayers ought to be it will be
possible for the revenue agents, if
they are given the broad powers for
which I am asking, to compel the
revelation of income from every
source.
81 wish also to have enough agents
to make it possible to compile and
utilize all the information that we
can get from stockholders lists, from
records of mortgages, leases and
probates of estates and from all the
thousand and one sources which will
give information regarding the peO-
pie who should pay income tax and
the amounts upon which they should
pay.
IF we can find the taxpayers we
will get the tax"

STATE EXPRESS
FIGHT NOT OVER
NATTER or INTERSTATE RATES
TOO LOW FOR SIOUN CITY
SHIPPERS, PROBABLY
INTO FEDERAL.
COURTS.

Sioux City Ia.--As the result OF
the action of the state supreme court
of South Dakota, in making perman-
ent the injunction restraining the eX-
press companies operating in the
stae from placing into effect express
rates ordered by the interstate com
mGce commission carly steps are ex-
peded to be taken by the federal gov
ernment.
While nothing definite is known
with regard to the plans of the com
merce commission or the department
of Justice or the United States, it Is
possible that the next step in the liti-
gaticn will be an action against the
express companies. 1t is probable
that the federal officials Will ignore
the action of the state court.
1t Is known that the United States
government or the commerce commits
sion has the power to enforce its or
ders by civil or criminal proceedings
in the Federal courts There are mum
erous precedents for action of this
character. If this course is followed
the express companies may be prose-
cuted for failure to place into effect
the rates ordered by the commission.
Heavy fines can be imposed for fail
.ure TO make rates in accordance with
the published tariffs.
An Unprecedented Ruling.
According to local attorneys, the
action of the South Dakota suprem me
court is without precedent in the
history of the United States. 1t is the
first time state court ever assumed
power to oyerrule a federal court

The condition of Mrs. Guy Julian

en- assured her.
The woman sighed again and re-
Taxed amongst the pillows. i be-
lieve 1 can Sleep she murmured.
Accepting this as a dismissal, Helen
arranged the pillows, saw that her
charge was otherwise comfortable, and
quietly went away.
The enormous boarhound, she re-
fected, had been provided to protect
this isolated household; yet a speech
OF Mrs. Sloan's the night before i'm
| piled that she was in the habit of keep
ing him chained up of nights. Why?
The woman Enthusiastically had been
surprised that the beast had slipped
his leash.
Thought of Boris led her to the rear,
where she found that a high wire
fence separated yard from orchard;
which accounted for the dog having SO
soon given up pursuit Of the fleeing
man.
Turning her back to the gate and
facing the house, her glance was ar
rested by a porch that had been con.
yerted into a flower conservatory
though one now empty Of flowers.
One of the glass panels stood slightly
| aJar, and some inner prompting
scarcely intuitive, but more a subcon-
scious deduction from her observa-
tions-led her steps across an inter
vening expanse of turf and the crushed
limestone driveway to the partially
open panel. She opened it wide. Up
on the sill and upon the floor inside
were unmistakable traces of limestone
powder-of course, from the driveway.
Again her thoughts went back to the
dog. He was chained up of nights
when, as a protector, he should be al
lowed to oam at large. And in this
connection the midnight prowler came
into her mind. He was not only a
prowler, but at least once had sur
~reptitiously entered the house. Mrs.
Sloan was responsible for the beasts
nightly captivity; hence was suggest
ed collision between her and the mid,
night visitor.

upon her left and a harsh feminine
voice inquire who was there. She
stepped back away from the door and
saw, framed in one Of the ground
floor windows, a woman in a kimono,
which she was holding together at the
throat. 1t was too dark in the shadow
to determine more than this; but
Helen informed the apparition that
she was Mrs. Davenant's new com
panion and that she had just ar.
rived.
For a second there was silence. The
woman In the window craned this way
and that-apprehensively, the girl i'm,
agined-and so perceived the dog.
She gasped and exclaimed, in a
hushed, frightened voice:
Good Lord; That dogs loose
again! Quick, miss, climb in this
window; he's vicious as a tiger.
You, Boris, go away this Instant"
At this instant" however, Boris
shaggy head was pressed against
Helen's side in the ~friendliest fashion
imaginable. The girl tugged his ear.
Wei, l deeiare!" marveied the
woman in a low voice. Don't that
beat the Dutch! Why, / wouldn't
take such liberties with that beast,
not for anything in the world. And
me that feeds him, too! I'm thank.

NAMED unchanged.

getting himself into a whole lot OF

Mrs. Sloan did not wait till she had
finished. With a low, choking cry, she
darted away-through the buffers pan
try to the dining room, thence to the
hall, and finally the girl heard a door
slam.
Following more leisurely and com
posedly, Helen presently discovered
that Mrs. Davenant's bedroom door
was locked. On the other side she
heard the low murmur of ONE
voices-by which she surmised thai
Mrs. Davenant was herself concerned
in Mr.. Stanley Halls welfare.

close to her, restricted the girls op-
p~ortunities. Nevertheless. certain de,
tails did not escape her.
On this second night, for instance,
she noted that Boris was permitted to
run free.
Next, some time after eleven she
missed Mrs. Sloan. Excusing herself
from, her charge. she confirmed her
suspicious that the housekeeper was
nowhere to be found about the place,
She returned to Mrs. Davenant's
room, seating herself close by one of
the windows. All her senses were
alert. And some time after midnight,
when she beheld Boris make a sudden
purposeful plunge toward the rear,
and then just as suddenly halt, as If ne
had recognized the occasion of his
alarm, she knew that Mrs. Sloan had
returned.
The woman's entry into the house
was n~oiseless. Not q sound disturbed
the stiffness till daylight. Then the
girl heard the housekeeper, quite in a
natural, everyday manner. bestirring
herself about her regular duties.
This day brought Helen a letter
from Felix Hazard. "Dayenant has
got busy about the raised cheque," 1t
informed her. "If you can do SO with
out exciting suspicious, try to find out
who Stanley Hall is. That festive
gentleman, it is my present conv;c.
ton, will be pinched."
She read the epistle carefully two
or three times. then burnt 1t at the
kitchen range under the curious. un.
friendly regard of Mrs. Sloan's un.
blinking stare.
Mrs. Sloan" she asked. did you
ever know anyone named Stanley
Hall?"
IF, without warning. she had hurled

been more startling. Every muscle
