C0MMENDS BOURBON COUNTY
CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER

The 1918 session of the Kentucky
Legislature will convene at Frank
fort on next Monday, January z,
for a sixty-days' term. Bourbon
county will have two candidates for
election to Office in this General As
sembly, Hon. Claude M. Thomas for
Speaker of the House, and Lauth-
man Woods, son of Mrs. Jack
Woods, of Paris, who seeks a page
ship. OF Mr. Thomas candidacy
The Mt Sterling Advocate, under
the heading of Elect Thomas
Speaker" says editorially:
Hon. Claude M. Thomas, from our
neighboring county of Bourbon, is a
candidate for Speaker of the House,
which will convene in regular ses-
sion on next Monday.
THAT such a man should aspire
/ for such place speaks well for the
ever-growing sentiment in Ken
lucky, for better men and better
things. Mr. Thomas is gentleman
| by birth, a scholarly lawyer and
one of the best parliamentarians in
! the State. That he will have nc
equal in the coming session of the
legislature, in point of qualifica'
lions, few will seriously question
In public life he has always stood for
clean politics, and both in private
and public life has always been
upright and honorable. Like al
right thinking men, he believes the
liquor traffic is indefensible; yet the
distilleries of the State, (althougf
claiming the liquor question is set
tied, since all sides have agreed tC
a submission of Statewide prohibit
tion), are making a most determin
ed fight against Mr.. Thomas and az
always, have the active support Of
their faithful friend, Mr.. Stanley
This very fact makes us feel thai
the question is by no means settled
as regards a submission of the queS
ton and that it behooves the tenn
perance people of the State to bt
I'D and doing. Mr. Thomas ought tt
win the Speakership without a con
test, and those who oppose him
prove conclusively, that they are
not wanting a high-mtnded man o.
renogni7ed fairness mad splendid
ability"

BETTER LOOK OUT! THE INCOME
COLLECTOR COMING!

You won't have to figure out your
own income tax all by yourself
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.
The governments income tax man
will be at the court house in Paris
from January IA to 26. He will
answer your questions, swear you to
the return, take your money, and re-
move the wrinkles from your brow.
Returns of incomes for 1917 must be
made between January l and March
1, 1918.
"The Government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue Haly said,
that many persons experience a
good deal of difficulty in filling out
income tax forms It recognizes,
too, that taxpayers resident at points
where collectors officers 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 net income of $4,000, and
every unmarried person not the head
of family and having net income
of 1000 for the year 1917 must
make return of income on the form
prescribed, there will be hundreds in
i every community seeking light on
the law, and help in executing their
returns. My own and every other
collection district in the Nation viii
, be divided into districts, with the
county as the urit, and govern
ment officer informed in the income
tax assigned to each district He
will spend hardly less than a week
in each county, and in some COUNTIES
a longer time, very likely in the
court house 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 ad
wise postmasters and bankers and
send out notices to the newspapers
stating when the officer will be in
each county 1t will be unnecessary
Cor prospective taxpayers to ask my
Office for forms on which to make re-
turns. The officer who visits their
county will have them.
cit may be stated as matter of
general information that net in
come is the remainder after sub
stracting expenses from gross in
! come, Personal, family, or living ex-
pense is not expense in the meaning
of the law, the exemption being al
lowed to cover such expenses.
"The new exemption of $1,000
and $4,000 will add tens of thous-
ands to the number of income tax
payers in this district. inasmuch as
practically every farmer, merchant,
tradesman, professional man and
salary worker and a great many
wage workers will be required to
make return and pay tax.
1.-The law makes it the duty of the
+aypayer to seek out the collector.
| Many people asc''~'n that if an in
come tax form is 1t sent, or gov
nrnment officer d"es not call, thew
are relieved from making report.
This is decidedly in error 1t is the
other way round. The taxpayer has
% go to the government and If he
doesn't within TIE time prescribed,
he is a violator of the law, and the
government will go to him with its
penalties"

When Miss Anna Jarvis, who, in 1905

thousands upon thousands of mothers

those who are fighting in France in the
cause OF eivination and for the honor

mothers should feel that we are honor
ing motherhood-the true motherhood
that makes for pure home lives, good

! One of the objects of the Mothers Day

one to wear a white earnation on Moth

/ badge of the organization, But the de.
mand for white carnations on this day
