BEST SOLDIERS
IN THE WORLD
Engishman Tells Something About
Our Troops That Americans
Knew all of the
Time.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Amer :
can army in France comprises the
best soldiers in the world, according
to Captain A. Radcliffe Dugmore, OF
the Kings Own Yorkshire light in
fantry, who arrived here today.
"The American army in France IS
the best army in the world, excepting
none," said Captain Dugmore. Il
spent two weeks at the American
camp and. l was amazed at the excel
lent soldiery which I saw there. Be-
sides being fine soldiers, they are
fine men. l never saw a better moral
tone among any set Of men in my life.
General Pershing said he expected
that the Germans would attempt to
put one over on the Americans, but
that he felt that the men under him
were well prepared.
THE American soldiers were a
happy, contented set Of men. They
were all clothed and we'll equipped in
every particular. The one complaint
that l heard was that they did not
get enough American newspapers
and that they did not come soon
enough

STATE OFFICERS
DON'T PAY TAX
Employees of Commonwealth and Coun
ty, Township Officers and School
Teachers Will
"Get BY"

The Burlington Gazette answers
some income tax question: in the fol-
lowing:
Are state officers and state en-
ployes liable for the income tax?
"The question in various forms has
been asked at the income tax office
scores Of times the past few days."
said General Deputy Collector Her
rington.
THE answer is: State officers are
not exempt from tax because they are
state officers, but the salary received
from the state OF any political sub-di-
vision thereof, is exempt from income
tax.
This applies also to county and
township offices, to teachers in the
public schools, etc.
The language of the law follows:
IS and the compensation Of
officers and employees of state or
any political subdivision thereof, ex.
cept when such compensation is paid
by the United States government is
exempt.
Article 5, regulation 33, says: The
compensation OF all officers and en-
ployes OF a state or political subdivi-
sion thereof, including public school
teachers, ETC., is exempt. When such
state officers or employees are COM
pensated by the United States, thet
must include such income as taxable
"In other words when a county sher-
if receives compensation from the
federal government for feeding Unit
ed States prisoners, any gain he may
make from such service is return
able for income tax purposes.
Qualifying the above, treasury de-
cision No. 1852, says: An individual
who enters into a contract with 4
state or any political subdivision there
Of, for the construction of a public
highway is held not to be an officer
Or empIoye of the said state or polih
cal subdivision thereof, and there
fore, the amounts received by him
from the state or a political subdivi-
sion thereof, under the terms of the
contract, are not exempt from tax I'M

come tax law and should be included
in any return or annual net income

Friend Of William Wappich Defends
i'm in Article Written

Paper.

The defense of William Wappici,
who was assailed before the Omaha
bar meeting, recently, is undertaken
by Frederick A. Shotwell, who writes
the following in the public pulse
column OF the Omaha World Herald.
under the caption "cruel and unjust
OMAHA. Jan. 24.-To the Editor Of
the WorldHerald: I desire to enter
protest against the action Of the To-
cal bar association on the applica
ton Of William f. Wappich for mem
bership.
There was nothing in the article
written by Mr.. Wappich which in
any way reflected upon this govern
ment. 1t did not contain word or
sentence that could be interpreted as
treason. In fact it had no relation,
whatsoever, to the war.
The most damnable product of war
is hatred. and attorneys, on account
Of their education, position and in
fluence in the community. should be
the last persons to encourage it.
We shall win the war and we can

The war will be over some day and
we must maintain a united country.
We are fighting for democracy and
it cannot exist where hatred and i'll
will are supreme.
Mr.. Wappich is of German .ances-
try; he is clean and respected citi
zen; he has walked among his neigh
bors during all the years of his life
as a patriotic and law-abiding man.
1t is nothing less than character as
sassination. ON the part of some
"fourNminute patriots" to besmirch
him in this community and place the
brand of treason upon his brow. II
is cruel, unjust and reflects upon the
association which gave it counter
ance. and l do not believe that the
attorneys, as a whole in this county,
will support such action.

The most responsive and en-

gathered in Everett, was without
question. the one which greeted
George r. Kirkpatrick last Sun
8av afternoon TO hear his lecture
THE Rights of Man For nearly
two hours Comrade kirkpatrick
held his audience spell bound
without so much as the slightest
movement save for an occasional
spontaneous outburst of applause.
judging from the comments heard
on every side, it was the gem
cal concensus of opinion that

~adc Krkratrjck's MASTERPIECES
Pu.-we recall distinctly hearing
this ssre remark on ether oc-
casiors. This only proves our
contention that Comrade Kirkpat-
rick stands alone. not only as an
orator, but what is far more
important TO the Socialist move
ment, as "A teacher.
Although thousands Of his book.
Think or Surrender" have been
sold in Everett at previous gath
erings, two hundred copies were
dispos ed of Sunday.
A vigorous applause went up
from the audience when it was
announced that an effort was be-
ing made TO secure Comrade

THAT INFORMATION
BUREAU

At the s. p. State Convention
held last week in Seattle. a con-
stitutional amendment was pro-
posed but voted down. which had
for its object the establishment
of a sort of Information Bureau
within the State Executive Com
mittee. While such a proposition
has merit, it would in fact be a
duplication of the work done by
organizations of national scope.
Statistics, to be of any use in
an international movement, must
embrace at least a whole nation.
If not whole continent.
In this mornings mail we re-
ceived a circular from The Rand
School of Social Science, New
York, announcing the publication
of THE AMERICAN LABOR
YEAR BOOK for l9l7-19ls. It
was compiled by Alexander
Trachtenberg, director Of the De-
partment Of Labor Research of
the Rand School. He says in
regard to it: "The book is
brought out primarily for the
speakers, writers and propaganda
lists in the Socialist and labor
movement"
The book may be had for 6Oc,

plus 1Oc for mailing. Address

THE RADICAL
(By Bert Goddard)

Economic necessity is the par
ent of all revolutions in society.
1t is the function of every revolu-
tionary radical, whether indus
tial or political to educate and
organize the useful members of
society so the change can take
place from the old to the new
without civilization being engulf-
ed in the black abyss of anarchy
and chaos, This is what is meant
by the statement, eve are form
ing the structure of the new So
cjety within the shell of the
old" The radical who today is
prosecuted and annihilated on the
gibbet erected by the master
class, is the beacon light shin
ing on the rock-bound coast Of
q troubled world, pointing the
way to safe refuge for human
ity. The stone rejected by the
builders shall become the key
stone Of the arch.
