Republican, but where there now han
pen to be Democratic Senators bv
reason of the divided Republican
strength in 1912, which enabled Dem
ocrats to slip into office. When Mr..
Wilson counsels the Democrats Of
his own State of New Jersey to make
no contest for Senator next time, he
will have given convincing evidence
of his real desire for non-partisanship
in the elevations during the war.
Mr.. Redfeld, Secretary of the De-
partment of Commerce, wants to get
in on the orgy of Governmental ex-
penditure. He asks for higher salaries
and promotions for the Bureau of
Census. That bureau juggled the pop
ulation statistics so successfully when
the draft act was passed that the Sec
retary feels its clerks are entitled to
more compensation. More CONNER
cial attaches are asked for. They
make good salesman for foreign goods
in our market. The request for big
ger force for the Steamboat-Inspection
Service recalls the ill-fated EAST
land" Higher salaries and larger
personnel are the standard rewards
for inefficiency in this administration.
Imports from Japan for the first
nine months of the current year total
ed $181 ,240,000, compared with 's69.-
100000 for the last nine months un-
der protection, ended September,
1913. Total United States trade car
ried in japanese bottoms for the 1918
period, valued at $63,OOO,OOO for the
1917 period at nearly $5OO,OOO, 900.
The war and the tariff team for ia
pan. 1t was reported some time back
that steps were to be taken to re-
strict gold exports to Japan in pay
ment of her balances against us, but
$13,500,000 in gold was exported to
that country for September, 1917,
compared with $3,6S5, 900 for Septem-
ber 1916. Total expectation of gold
to Japan for the first nine months
of this year, $155, 100000. With that
money Japan is developing her cot
ton manufacturing industry, and her
merchant marine, competition with
both of which we are already begin
ming to experience.

Damage Suits Total S45, 900

Another lawsuit growing out of the
recent accident on crossing of the
Michigan Central railroad between
Bennington and Laingsburg, has been
started by Margaret Mshaney as next
friend of Frank Mahaney, aged 10.
who was one of the victims of the acci-
dent. Two others of the injured,
Thomas Coe and Matthew Coe, have
started cases against the Michigan Gen.
tral for $40, coo and $25, 900 respectively.
Young Mahaney is asking for damages
amounting to $4,000. The fourth
occupant of the Ford, Patrick Cava-
nsugh, died soon after the accident and
his estate may also ask manages from
the railroad company. Seth O. Pulver
is the counsel for the plaintiffs.

SEE THE INCOME TAX MAN.

In a communication received by the
News, Collector Of Internal Revenue
Jas. j. Brady announces that a Fed
eral income tax officer will be sent to
Shiawassee county on January 7th,
1918, and will be here until January
16, 1918. He will keep "open house,
on each of the above days and will
be ready and willing to help persons
subject to the income tax make out
their returns without any cost to them
for his services.
He will be at the following places
on the dates named: Post Office
building, Owosso, January 7 to 10, in
elusive; court house, Corunna, Janu-
airy IL; post Office, Laingsburg, Janu
ary IA, and at the post Office in Du-
rand on January Is and 16.
How many income taxpayers will
there be in this town and vicinity? If
you can guess how many married per-
sons living with wife or husband will
have net incomes of $4,000 or oven
and how many unmarried persons
will have net incomes of $1,000 or
over this year, then you know. The
Collector of Internal Revenue esti-
mates that there will be 1910 taxpay-
ers in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March l, 1913.
Because a good many people don t
understand the law and won't know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending this expert to
do it for them. But the duty is on
the taxpayer to make himself known
to the government. If he doesn 7
make returns as required before Mar.
l he may have to pay penalty rang
ing from $40 to $1,000, pay fine, or
go to Jail. So if you don't want to
take chances on going to Jail, you bet
ter call on the income tax man. If
you are not sure about being subject
to the tax, you better ask him and
make sure. Whether you see the in
come tax man or not, you must make
return if subject to tax.
Of course, persons resident in 9TH
er counties may, if they want to-,
come and see the income tax man who
will be at Owosso January z to 10 in
elusive.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however, don t mean
family expenses, money used to pay
off the principal of debt, new ma
chinery, buildings, or anything
like that. They mean what you spend
in making your money-interest, tax
es paid, hired help, amount paid for
goods sold, seed, stock bought for
feeding, rent Except for your dwell
ing), etc. Income includes about ev-
cry dollar you get.

More than to any other one. thi ng
the failure of few property owners on
the line of the proposed extension of the
Michigan Railway Co.'S electric road
from Owosso to- Flint to sign options
for the right of way is due the an
nouncement made on Saturday last that
the project would be given mp at least
for the present, possibly until the war
is over and let's hope not-msy be per.
manently. With scarcely an exec ption
those who held off for mere money for
the right of way had no valid claim to
be paid single dollar more than was
offered and accepted by their .neighbors
an1 in few cases the road would
have beenof such benefit to the farms in
he matter of drainage alone that the
property owners could we'll have afford
ed to give the option out light and paid
bonus for the building of the road A
very large percentage Of the property
owners realized what an electric road
meant to Them and the people in their
neighborhoods and not only signed the
options but expressed their Willingness
to 'chip in" to pay for the right of way
across the land of those who refused to
sign the options Thlt the line will
ultimately be built and that it will
