Just what is the seductive pow
er of a political office that prompts
men to go out and spend several
hundred dollars in an effort to
land some political job that does
not pay as much as some honest
employment. 1t can't be a spirit
of patriotism and self-sacrifce,
as it is our observation that citi-
zens who are content with private
life are even more loyal and pat
riotic. Perhaps it is the desire
to make living without work,
and their Incidence can be COW
cred up with the cloak of being
a public official; and they strut
around wearing a billed" shirt
and pose as influential citizens.

If the administration at Wash

If the administration at Wash
ington would only quit playing
politics and put men at the head
of the several war activities who
are experienced in such work, the
United States could take a larger
part in the war to establish de-
mocracy of the world. To a dis
interested mind it appears the
administration is more anxious
to establish the democratic party
of the United States, and takes
this opportunity to accomplish re-
suits.

The only real grief the editC

feat of our old, and much-be-

we have reside, only cast enough
votes for Os to place him in the

The close contest in the state
between the two Freds- Golfer
and Sutter-is a clear indication
that all the Hunt democrats did
not believe Sutter would be
menace to the state if he could
win the nomination and election.
Sutter is by far the best man of
the two in mental equipment
and experience, and his election
would have been assured. Mr..
Golfer, as the nominee, will have
hard bitter fight, with certain
defeat staring him in the face.
He will not have the strength of
Gov. Hunt by several thousand
votes, mostly republican voters
who deserted their own party
nominee to vote for Gov. Hunt,
whom they believed was con-
scientiously honest in his friend
ship for labor. These voters will
now return to their party affiilia-
ton. Under the most favorable
conditions Mr.. Golfer cannot ex-
pect to get as large a vote as
was cast for Gov. Hunt; and on
the other hand there are hun
dreds of democrats in the state
who believe Gov. Campbell was
euchred out of his honest cleo
tion by a partisan court, and will
vote for Mr.. Campbell this fall
to correct the injustice.

How Income Tax Returns
Should Be Made Out

harvested, but has not been gathered,
or crop which has been harvested,
but has not been sold, is destroyed by
storm, flood or fire, can the value of
that crop be claimed as deduction?
No 1t is understood, of course,
that the actual cost of producing or
harvesting a crop which has been so
destroyed may be claimed as deduc-
ton under the head of business ex-
penses.
(11) What condition are necessary
in order that debt may be claimed
as deduction?
1t must be (a) a bona fide debt;
(b) definitely ascertained to be worth
less and uncollectable during the
year which the deduction is claimed,
and (c) if books are kept it must be
charged off within the year for which
the deduction ais claimed and no
longer considered an asset or carried
as such on the books.
Q2) In 1917 a corporation, or firm
which had loaned money became
bankrupt. Can this debt be consid
cred absolutely worthless and claim
ed as deduction for 1917?
No, unless the affairs of the debtor
have been finally adjusted, it's assets
sold for the benefit of, or distributed
to, its creditors, and its receiver in
bankruptcy discharged. If all this
has occurred during the year 1917 sc
much of the debt as remains unpaid
after the receiver is discharged may
be claimed as a deduction for the
year 1917.

Uncle Toms Cabin" with Margu-

and then the delicate and loving little
Eva, Is the feature photoplay al
Loew's Columbia Theater for the first
half OF the week through wednesday.
Harriet Beecher Stoves widely read
story of conditions just before the
civil war is different from the drama
of our childhood days in that most
OF the action OF the plot centers
around the character of Little Eva, the
other figures in the story merely serv-
ing to help carry the picture along.
For instance, the famous dramatic
episode wherein Liza makes her es-
cape across the ice pursued by the
bloodhounds is used simply as q "cut-
back" instead OF being the scene that
sent many shivers down our youthful
spines when viewed from the heights
OF the pit"
Marguerite Clark again affords her
photographer an opportunity to star
in one of the pictures in which she
is ostensibly the principal attraction.
1t is as the harum-skarum Topsy.
however. that Miss Clark scores her
chief success in this production. She
displays an amazing expanse of white
eyeballs, and her grin Is infectionsiy
comical.

What Heaters Offer This Week

Picturing in detail the recent battle
against commercialized vice in San
Francisco, THE Finger OF Justice" a
photodrama, is seen At Polls Theater
this week. This afternoon and even
ing the Rev. Paul Smith, under whose
auspices the picture is being shown
to raise more money to combat the
white slave trade, will appear In
person.
The picture, while not as sensa-
tional as many OF the other anti-vice
propaganda films that have been
shown during the past few years,
nevertheless is a strong Indictment
Of the system which preys upon the
innocence OF young girls. 1t tells the
story Of the fight waged by q cour-
ageous young pastor against the
forces OF evil in a large CITY. 1t
shows the visit of 400 women OF the
underworld to his church, at the in
stigation OF their masters. to ask the
pastor what he would do with them IL
their profession were destroyed. This
scene is based upon an actual incl
dent during the Rev. Paul Smiths
campaign in San Francisco.
The boss" OF the underworld in
''The Finger OF Justice" is the pro-
prietor of a resort where youth Is
polluted He has a daughter, whom
he rears In ignorance OF her fathers
business. She, however, falls prey to
one Of his hirelings, and the climactic
scene is that in which ''rhe boss" dis
covers his daughter in the clutches
OF one Of his own cadets In his own
resort
A death blow is dealt at the vice
trade by the murder OF "the boss, I"
and the minister's campaign, which
has aroused the entire city. comes to

deliberately uses her wiles to ensnare
Barton Masters. a millionaire ranch
owner from Arizona. They marry. She
pictures a life Of luxury and idleness,
but instead he takes her TO his native
State. and when she displays a vein Of
intractibility, he quickly adopts cave
man methods to subdue her. The climax
comes when a physician, a former lover
OF the girl. shoots Masters. The girl
realizing her true feelings toward her
husbad, forces the former to use his
skill to save him A happy ending Is
the result.

seasons ago. it relates the story of
the vicissitudes OF a young married

While at first they form a model of
mutual devotion, some trifiing mis-
understandings are so magnified that
divorce is the result. 1t takes a
long series of maneuverings on the
part Of both to become reunited. Miss
Talmadge is polite and charming. and
wears a number OF dainty and fetch
ing frocks. Numbered in the support

that none OF the characters bear real
