Income Tax Procedure

The present trend Of the lawmakers
toward the so-called equabe income
tax. to secure the needed funds for the
support of the governments OF the Eng
lish speaking peoples, based upon the
comparative lack of opposition OF those
upon which a tax of this nature falls
al opposed to the various other forms
Of taxation which civilization has
known, is the first topic considered by
Robert II. Montgomery in his book on
Income Tax Procedure-19l7," pub
lished by the Ronald Press Company.
Those upon whom the friendless task of
preparing returns for the Commission
or of Internal Revenue falls will be
inclined to welcome such a book with
a sigh Of real relief.
Inquiry into the decisions of our
English neighbor develops the fact that
the gains received, If any, from bets
or wages are taxable. Painstaking care
is evinced in setting forth the meaning
both in the general and technical sense
Of the frequently confused terms Of
accrued income" and receipts" The
decisions OF the courts in the United
States on such cases as have been sued,
the Treasury decisions and the rulings
OF the Commissioner as contrasted with
similar rulings in the case of the Eng
!ish courts, are given and criticism and
comment made thereon.
The book as n whole will not form q
satisfactory afternoons entertainment
for those who desire light reading, but
many helpful hints can be secured from
its numerous pages for those to whom
the compilation of the returns fall.

CRITICISM
AND BOOK NEWS
The Pennsylvania State Police - Gettysburg
Address Income Tax Procedure
Couple of Entertaining Novels

The Pennsylvania State Police repre-
ssnts a lusus nature in our govern
mental system. 1t is black swan
miracle, or at least near miracle.
One would think that so admirable
an institution, whose superiatlve WORK
has been demonstrated hundred times
in the last ten years, would be eagerly
patterned after in other states. But 1t
has not been. The politicians Of the
other states abhor anything like real
efficiency in government. So, Of course,
do the politicians of Pennsylvania.
But these latter were stampeded by an
eccentric old Governor into creating
the state police force, and now they
lack the courage to abolish an institu-
ton which in its fawless operation, its
absolute adjustment of means to end, is
d standing arraignment of all their
ways and works.
Our own New York politicians are
too true to type to want to see state
police force established here, function
ing on the inexorably clean, high
minded lines laid down by the creators
of the Pennsylvania force. Too many
selfish interests TO which they cater are
disinclined 70 have such an agency Of
law and order invested with statewide
jurisdiction-an agency which will do
its duty as it sees il without fear or
favor. Many New Workers think super
ciliously Of Pennsylvania as much
misgoverned commonwealth. But Penn
sylvania has no state debt. And she
has her far-famed and justly famed
state police.
Before the state police came Penn
sylvania was continually troubled with
ha Of oh lie
orders were aggravated by unchecked
rural crime. Now. thanks to the splen-
did service of 220 picked state police
men rural crime has been reduced to
a minimum, and labor disorders cul-
minating in serious rioting have be-
come almost a memory The four little
troops of state police have done what
thousands of-private police and watch
men, thousands of sheriffs and deputy
sheriffs and the whole Pennsylvania
National Guard could never do. They
have made universal respect for law
and order as represented in the per
sons of these intrepid troopers, who
have never once undertaken to enforce
law and order without making good.
Why have they never failed to en-
force obedience to law? Because they
are trained to know the law, to be just
and fearless in applying it and never
to finch whatever the odds against
them. When superintendent Groome
organized the original force in 1906
these were some of the things which
he told the men:
1t is possible for a man to be a
gentleman as well as a policeman.

ing the children behind; and the
Wades TO take care of them.
The result is liberal education for
the Wades. The Polydore kids" are
five individual cyclones. The Wades
stand the strain as long as they can
and then go of for vacation, leaving
all the children except the youngest
behind with the hired girl. After a
time the vacstioners discover a haunted

house which proves to be haunted by
the Polydore children. The poor LADY
and gentleman can't seem to escape
from the pests. The wealthy and re-
mote Uncle Issachar Unexpectedly
visits the Wade house during the
family's absence. He had promised
Mrs. Wade $4,000 for every child they
had, and he thinks the Polydore young
sters are theirs. The boys smash the
old gentleman's specs, and put frogs
in his pockets, worms in his silk hat
and pepper in his bed. But he likes
them. He doesn't believe in boys being
mollycoddles. After a brief stay he
departs leaving a check for S25,O 900.
It's a merry, comic supplement book,
easy to read, if one is not of an in
credulous disposition. A slight ro-
nance is injected for good measure.
The publishers compare the book to
the work of Frank Stockton. This is
not apparent, except in the illustra-
tons by Tony Sarg, which might have
been made for a Stockton story.
