Governor Marcus Fl. HolcoHb remark ed that this session had been the shortest since biennial sessions wore adopted and this was due not to the fact that there had been less iegisla- ton to consider but that it had been a working session, the members had attended daily sessions well and that duties were seriously considered.

The senate had been on the heels of the house and had long recess waiting for measures to come up for sena tors got impatient as their fare well dinner was ready. but Speaker Healy was not moved by plea to have recess taken until tomorrow, saying that adjournment would come today.

There was some good natured boisterousness in the latter chamber and presentation of gifts Of a more or less unique cha racter with responses tinctured wit1 humor.

 The governor submitted a veto of the bill making an appropriation of s4,00o to William H. Taylor for tn eprinting of the souvenir legislative history for 1917. Said the governor: When, as at present, economic conditions are such as to compel minimum limit in for public support, it is a peculiarly inopportune time to make an appro- pria tion of public funds to pay for such of these souvenirs as may be taken for private libraries. A major ity of those who would be entitled to a free copy under this act would, l be- lieve personally prefer to pay for it"

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS

One result of the South American republics joining with the Allies will De the gaining of much better knowledge of their peoples. We do not ealizre to the full the great cities of the southern continent, with their parks libraries, public buildings, and universities. Their wide streets, cleo tric trains. clear atmosphere could give many points to our English towns In size. Buenos Ayres is one of the largest cities in the world; it has a population of 100000 inhabi- tants. Rio has over 100000.
 A Northern writer finds q grievance in the fact that the exhortationS to eat less are addressed indiscriminately to the whole of Great Britain. His patri- otic contention is that at no time have the Scots eaten too much. He holds that nearly all of the oVer-e ting has taken place in England and that the heaviest eaters of all are the inhabi- tants of Yorkshire and Lanca shire. One of his remarks is that a Scots mans dinner is an occurrence while that of an Englishman is an event.
 To our food regulation mysteries must now be added that of the cake and sandwich. The present writer snatching a hurried meal at a rail- way station buffet. asked for and re- ceived a sandwich and 9 cup of tea. The tea outlasted the sandwich. and there being yet time the 9Eungry scribe begged piece of cake.s The lady frowned. ''No. you may not have cake and a sandwich, but you may have another sandwich. if you like" Weight for weight the flour in cake and sandwich seemed about equal.

AUTO DASHES INTO
4 N0NAN'S WAGON
Mrs. George Kerr Thrown
into Road, Health Was
Impaired.

Rounding a curve in a road near the
city the buggy OF Mrs. George Kerr,
Who resides on the Grafton road, few
miles from Fairmont, was struck by an
approaching automobile last evening
at 1880 o'clock. The driver of the ma.
chine did not even slacken his speed
after he struck the vehicle.
Mrs. Kerr was driving to the city to
bring her husband home, he having
attended the concert at the Grand
opera House. Near the residence Of
+. Dougherty the reckless autoists
struck the wagon and Mrs. Kerr was
cought in the wreckage. The buggy
was badly broken and the horse was
injured.
Mrs. Kerr was picked up and car.
ried TO the Dougherty home and a
physician was summoned. She has
sustained a bruised ankle and slight
injuries to the shoulder, none Of which
are regarded as being of a serious ma.
ture.
The pathetic part Of the accident is
that Mrs. Kerr has been Ill for long
time and was obliged to carry a crutch
to assist her in locomotion. Much in.
dignation is shown against the reck-
less autoist and the county authorities
may take hand in 1t.

Especial Dispatch TO West virEinian)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. A.
With the passage of the war revenue
bill every American, man, woman and
child, becomes a federal taxpayer.
You cannot buy any article that has
been freighted by rail or water, you
cannot ride on a train. send a tele-
gram, visit theater or ball park, buy
bottle of patent medicine "A baseball
bat or any other kind OF sporting
goods, tube of tooth paste or any
other toilet article, own an automo-
bile, motorcycle or 4 motorboat,
draw a time draft, buy bond or
share of stock, or send in a proxy for
an election, without paying tribute to
your Uncle Samuel.
Moreover, through the income and
excess profits taxes, not less than five
million Americans who have never
known what it is to take money out
Of their pockets and pay it over direct
l. 10 Uncle Sans collectors will now
have TO learn TO make out their tax
returns and master all the intricacies
OF calculating gross and net income,
capital invested. depreciation. and eX-
cmptions.
The income tax now reaches down
and takes is levy from every married
man or woman with an income over
$4,000, and every unmarried man or
woman with an income over $1,000.
and the war profits tax reaches every
corporation with net income over
| $1,000, end every partnership and in
GIvidual operating a business which
yields more than $1,000 net income
during this year.
Every one of these five million new
taxpayers ought to learn as soon as
possible how to figure their taxes so
that they can now plan for the read
justments in their business and per-
sonal affairs which these relatively
heavy federal taxes will necessitate.
In order to enable them to make
these calculations without calling in
lawyer or wading through the intri-
cacies OF the $50 page revenue bill.
the following simple analysis OF the
war profits and income taxes has been
prepared. with the assistance of the
leading tax experts at Washington:

rent or any other source exceeding
$1,000 for the calendar year 1917.
and every married person with a net
income exceeding $4,000.
Returns must be made under oath
on or before March l. 1918, by every
person with an income exceeding the
amounts named above, even II there

to 81 900 for failure.
How to Calculate Net Tncome-Net

sources and deducting from that
amount the following items:

that they are. The public every,
