ANITA STEWART in "THE GIRL PHIIIPPA"

Democrats, Socialists, Anarchists or
any other political disciple If he will
agree to help make the state to be
master and the people to be slaves.
This thing is rampant In North Da-
kota. There the League has taken
over the grain elevators and is reach
ing for the -four mills. From there
it is but a step to the grocery stores
and wholesale houses, lumber mills
and railroads, and the next logical
step is to revive the laws of Licurgus
and declare all the people belong to
the state. When that comes to pass
we are not far from slavery and
chains. A people belonging to the
state are not free to think for them
selves. They must fashion their lives
to some dictator's will, and, of course,
the tyrant will arise to chain them to
the pillars of authority.
Let no man deceive you with the
Utopian lingo of the Non-Partisan
League. 1t is Socialism and Single
Tax rolled into one pill, sugar-coated
to catch the succulent sucker. In
time it will take over your business
If you have any business-so be
not deceived.

THE TAX MAN|s COMING

1t will require small army of men
to take the income tax returns of per-
sons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue, Mil
ton A. Miller, today announced that
fifteen officers will start from his
headquarters on January 1st and on
January End every one Of them will
be on the job at the points in the
respective counties as designated,
to meet the people and help them
make out their income tax returns.
The officer assigned to this county
is due to arrive here on Feb. 1st and
to remain until Feb. 10th, both dates
inclusive. He will have his Office in
the Court House at the county seat
where he may be found every day Of
the dates stated.
ut will be we'll for every unmar-
ried person whose net income for
1917 is $1,000 or over, and every
married person living with wife or
husband whose net income for 1917
is $4,000 or over, to call on the in
come tax man and learn whether or
not they have any tax to pay Col
lector Miller said today. "The per-
son subject to tax who doesn't make
return in the time prescribed Is go
ing to regret 1t. The Government
will get after all income tax slackers.
There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man who
won't have to make return Of in
come. Farmers, as class, will have
to pay the tax. The safe thing to do
is for every person who had total
income of $1,000 or $4,000, as the case
may be, and who is not sure about
what deductions the law allows him,
to play it safe by calling on the in
come tax man.
"The man sent by the Collector
will have forms for everybody and
persons who expect to call on him
need not trouble themselves to write
for forms"

FARMERS WEEK
AND SHORT COURSE
Personal Instruction in Methods Sue
ceeds Organized Efforts In Ad-
ding to Food Supply.

Corvallis, Ore, Dec. 26.-Many Of
Oregon's most successful farmers
have found that course in methods
in their special lines Immediately fol-
lowing Farmers Week is the best
possible means of enabling them to
put into effect the plans inspired by
attendance at Farmers Week. Hence
they remain for a four-week course
in personal instruction. This short
course begins at o. A. c. this year on
Monday, January Z and runs till Sat-
urday, February 2.
The use of farm tractors and sta
tionary engines is recognized as one
of the most effective means of solving
the labor shortage problem. So i'm
portant is this use increasing the
grain acreage of Oregon SO per cent
as required by the Food Administra-
ton, that the Umatilla farmers have
been running their tractors night and
day. To aid those who are taking
up the work to get the best out of
their machines, the tractor school
has been provided.
Eighteen different makes of en-
gines small and great are now on the
road to the College to be used in
Farmers Week and Winter Short
Course work. Farmers taking the
course will operate them under the
expert direction, learning how to
handle, care for and repair the var
ious makes. They will also have an
opportunity to learn the merits of the
different tractors and purchase ac-
cordingly.
A line of shop work in metal and
wood will 60 with this course, en-
abling farmers to make such simple
repairs as babbiting, sharpening,
welding and mortising. A man of
average skill taking the course Will
be able to handle his machine with
best results at least expensee.
The other courses in special farm
ing will be equally complete and
timely.
