The Twin Falls public will be great
ly disappointed to know that the mass
meeting announced for next Saturday
evening to hear Congressman Albert
Johnson of Washington, has been call
ed off This action is taken pursuant
to a telegram from headquarters OF
the state council Of defense, at Boise,
which simply stated that all Mr..
Johnson's appointments in Idaho had
been cancelled. A letter of explana-
ton was promised, but has not come
to hand as yet. Great interest nat
urally attached to a message from our
boys and from the fighting line in
France, brought by one who had seen
and heard for himself; and we hope
it may be possible to bring Mr.. John
son here later; but as to this nothing
is known at the present time.

Too PrOsperOus-"I'm inclined 70

prosperous" was casually remarked
yesterday, by Mr.. Elmer Yule, OF Sc
attic, after he had spent two days III
vainly trying to find a suitable place
III the front of some business building
to offer demonstration of some new
scheme for household economics. In
speaking of prosperity, Mr.. Yuie spoke
of the present great influx at Seattle
partially, no doubt, occasioned by the
fact that fifty thousand men are now
employed in the government snip
yards there, and more are wanted. 1t
was refreshing to learn from Mr.. Yule
that a steel vessel is now launched
from these yards about every third
day, and that it is expected in the not
distant future to launch one every day

and Of the irrigation, system, will be
practically insured by the expenditure

vital to every interested party in the

We have every confidence that the
money will be expended and the work

under the direction and guidance of
your very capable board"

INCOME TAX RETURNS

The last of February is irksome time Tor many OF
our higher ups They feel unhappy about their fortunes
as they fuss and fret and fume over the JOB OF making
federal income tax return. 1t all calls for the unta g
ling of some complicated business problems IN many
cases. If an error is made labyrinth OF red tape may
have to be unwound to correct it.
1t was commonly predicted before the law went into
effect that rich people would conceal good part OF their
incomes AS you the satisfaction that many people
take in cheating Uncle Sam at the custom house, this
seems quite likely. Many persons who would worry over
cheating grocer of so cents highly greatied to
get the better of the government. .
Yet severe penalties are enforced for violation OF
this tax law which may we'll turn back some of our white
liars They would better reflect that the internal reve-
nue. men will be comparing years return with an
other If there startling discrepancies they may nave
to show up their private accounts They will be in much
better position in this they have made up their
figures in strict conformity to facts.
There is nothing smart in cheating the government
Temporarily it leaves little money in ones pocket
But if any considerable number of people do it, the
souces of the government depleted becomes evil
dent the face Of it that people of wealth are holding
themselves above the law
That creates anarchists and socialists and foments
strikes and all industrial disorders. The who saves
$40 through false return may live to see his proper
ty injured thousands of dollars through the social
rest he has helped to create.
