There are byproducts as important

at Ginter Park School Public schools
stand for education first. but they
should also stand for tdealsm, Gull

Calisch expressed his belief in voca-
tional schools. but his theme was

and more than q business preparation

fact that as the schools were controlled
by the State, they should be purely
secular. free from all lines Of de-

himself too serious in his insist

platforms so the people can judge

their platforms will not clarity

There will certainly be a high
standard of efficiency maintained
in this war, when President
Wilson appoints a beer expert as
the government inspector of ex-
plosives. Of course, the appointee
is a deserving democrat, and be-
ing a beer expert makes him
thoroughly competent to dis
charge his new duties.

Congress is now going to in
vestigate the war and navy de-
partments to ascertain if possible
just why these departments have
been so dilatory in supplying the
fighting forces with proper equip
ment. The investigation is not
for the purpose of bringing out
the facts, but to conceal the
truth from the public. A white
washing report it is hoped will
silence all criticism.

Income Tax.

You won't have to figure out
your own income tax all by your
self hereafter. The government
is going to send out men to help
you. 1t will be up to you to hunt
up these men, who will be sent
into every county seat town, and
some other towns besides, to
meet the people. Postmasters,
bankers and newspapers will be
able to tell you when the govern
ment's income tax man will be
around and where to find him.
He will answer your questions,
swear you to the return, take
your money, and remove the
wrinkles from your brow. Re-
turns of income for 1917 must be
made between January l and
March l, 1913.
The Government recognizes, +"
Collector of Internal Revenue
Lewis 7. Carpenter said to-day,
that many persons experience
a good deal of difficulty in filling
out income tax forms. 1t recog-
nizes too, that taxpayers resident
at points where collectors offices
are not easily accessible find it
hard to get proper instruction in
the law. Next year, when every
married person living with wife
or husband and having a net in
come of $4,000, and every un-
married person not the head of a
family and having a net income
of $1,000 for the year 1917 must
make return of income on the
form prescribed, there will be
hundreds in every community
seeking light on the law, and
help in executing their returns.
My own and every other collec-
tion district in the nation will be
divided into districts, with the
county as the unit, and a govern
ment officer informed in the in
come tax assigned to each dis
trict. He will spend hardly less
than a week in each county, and
in some counties a longer time,
very likely in the courthouse at
the county seat town. In cities
where there are collectors branch
Offices he will be there, and in
other cities possibly at the city
hall. My office will in due time
advise postmasters and bankers
and send out notices to the news
papers stating when the officer
will be in each county. 1t will
be unnecessary for prospective
taxpayers to ask my office for
forms on which to make returns.
The officer who visits their county
will have them.
1T may be stated as a matter
of general information that net
income is the remainder after
substracting expenses from gross
income. Personal, family, or

living expense is not expense in
the meaning of the law, the ex-
emption being allowed to cover
such expenses.
"The new exemptions of $1,000
and $4,000 will add tens of thous-
ands to the number of income
taxpayers in this district, mas
much as practically every farmer,
merchant, tradesman, profess
sional man and salary worker
and a great many wage workers
will be required to make return
and pay tax.
"The law makes it the duty of
the taxpayer to seek out the
collector. Many people assume
that if an income tax form is not
sent, or a government officer
does not call, they are relieved
from making report. This is
decidedly in error. 1t is the
other way round. The taxpayer
has to go to the government and
if he doesn't within the time
prescribed, he is a violator of the
law, and the government will go
to him with it's penalties

IF JUSTICE COURT ARE ADM|TT TED
Hard Fight Is Made When
 Unusual Evidence from Lower Court Is Offered
 in Place of Witnesses

Dispositions of the four Chinamen who testified at the prHminary hearing of Ong Kee, charged with the murder of Gin Wing in an un- derground den in Chinatown last
 ay, were introduced in evidence at the trial of the accused in Judge Stanfords court yesterday. For hours, despite the continued plea or the court to hurry matters, the coun- ty attorney for the state, and F. c. Struckmeyer for the defense, argued over the introduction of the tram script from the justice court, Judge Stanford finally ruling with the .tale. Struckmeyer raised many strong points to show that the de- positions were not admissible his chief argument being that it was unconstitutional
 The testimony of the four Chi nese, Gin Chong, Wong Fi, Yee Get and Gee Ching, succeeded in holding Ong to answer to the superior court and County Attorney L. =. .aney counted on their evidence in the higher court in securing a convic- ton.
 A few days ago when the officers went out to serve the four with sub- poenas they were not in the city Deputy Sheriff E. J.

Aerial Visitor
 Strains Rubber
 In Local Necks

Was Phoenix the London of America? This is what many people thought yesterday as they watched what they thought ~as an aeropIane circline above the city. Theories more numerous than the grains of sand in an Arizona sand storm were given as to the identity of the mysterious visitor; one per son going as far as to say that it was a German air raid-forgetting for the time being that Germany was not across the Salt river.
 About 4:30 o'clock the people on the down town streets were thrown into a furry, and necks were strained to catch sight of the aero plane. The first glimpse of the terrible thing was caught little to the west of Central avenue. What was it-plane or buzzard? Finally the excitement died down-and later in the evning the discovery was made that the terrible German plane was an innocent toy balloon that had flown from the hands of it's small owner.

dead man and that his testimony was biased and prejudiced.
 Joe Ortega was the last witness Cor the st9te. He testified that he had met Ong Kee on the road be- tween Glendale and Peoria when he made his flight from Phoenix. He said he wore blue and white striped overalls, a brown coat and cap while a previous witness for the state declared that the man who fired the shot that killed Gin Wing and first left the Chinatown base ment was dressed in black.
 The black and white checked coat worn by Gin Wing with its blood stained collar was a states exhibit. The smoke of the gun shows plain ly on the back where the bullet pen etrated.

 According to counsel the injunction suit will be in the court not less than three days as there is much evidence to be introduced.
