Mr.. Harvey E. Ellis, chairman OF
the Social Relief COMMITTEES. presid-
ed by request at the meeting at the
conrthou9e Tuesday evening at which
Mr.. James O'Connor spoke on the
war and its necessity. Mr.. Eli, in
troduced Mr.. O'Connor as u man
whom the state had many times hon.
ored.
Mr.. O'Connor said he was glad OF
the opportunity to say so1nething to
the people here on this subject, when
the fate of the nation is trembling in
the balance. He said this was the
greatest war in history, and thai no
war was ever settled by conference
OF good men and good women. It
must be won by the sword. We nad
to fight. The pacifst was del1-
sion. Since the time of Christ there
had been but 237 years OF peace.
Cave men fought, tribes were against
tribes, clan against clan, kingdom
against kingdom. The next great
war would be the brown man against
the white. Only by preparation
and dauntless courage could the
rights of democracy be conserved.
That to lengtfen our days in the dis
tant future we must be prepared to
strike. 1t was this indifference to
preparedness and disregard OF the
future that. caused the conquest OF
Assyria, Greece, Rome and Carthage.
We were not at war for idle sentl-
ment, but to defend ourselves.
Mr.. O'Connor said we would be
fools to wait until conquest turned
England's fleet and aeroplanes over
to the enemy to sweep our coast ana
bombs our cities. We had to fight.
and 1t was only a question Of time
when the American flag would be
carried through the streets OF Berlin
by the American army. fApp.ause,)
Women must do their duty to the
men who may never come back. The
American boy wants an American
girl to whisper consolation to him
before he passes that bourn from
which no traveller returns.
| Mr.. O'Connor's talk was listened
! to with a great deal OF interest.
While he started with the assertion
that he had found prepared speeches
to- be less effective than spontaneous.
impu,siye expression, his discourse
| was clothed in smooth flowing and
| picturesque sentences. admirably
timed to sympathetic response, and
his audience enjoyed his talk very
much.
Mr.. o'connor spoke at Vaudeville

Collector Of Internal Revenue ].
Y. Faunt,eroy states that Hon. Dan
sel c. Roper, Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue, has determined up
on the following plan of'securing re-
turns under the Income Tax Law.
Early in January a corps OF IN
spectors will be stationed in the larg-
est cities of the State, whose duty it
will be to post the public concern
ing the new laws. Every citizen
subject to make returns will be ex-
pected to get in touch with these
officials, and secure from them the
necessary blank forms. II possible,
it is planned to have Income Tax
Deputy Collectors in every parish In
the State, whose itinerary Will be
duly published. Postmasters, banks
and newspapers will be definitely IN
formed in this regard, and VIII be
a source Of information to the pub
lie. The Internal Revenue Official
Will inform the public concerning the
new law, distribute and receive re-
turns, and assist as much as possible
in the preparation thereof. Returns
must be made between January l
ad March /, 1918.
The Government recognizes that
many persons will experience good
deal of difficulty in filling out the
income tax forms, and also that tax
PAYERS residing away from cities IN
which Collectors offices are located
have difficulty to get proper instruc-
tion concerning the law. When 1t Is
remembered that every married
couple, whose joint net income
amounts to $4,000, and every single
person having a net income OF $l,ooo
for the year 1917, is subject to In
come Tax, and must make return
thereof, 1t will be seen that there
will be hundreds Of persons In every
parish seeking light on the law and
assistance in the execution OF their
returns.
These are the reasons that prompt
the Commissioner to undertake the
campaign above outlined. AT TINS
time it is not practicable to go Into
