There exists in print at the pres
ent time compilation of the mes
sages, proclamations, and inaugural
addresses of the Presidents from the
beginning of the Government up to
the year 1897. For some reason
Congress has failed to provide for
the publication in volume form of
similar documents since that year.
To bring the set up to date Con-
gresham Oscar w. Swift of New
York has pending before the Com
mittee on Printing of the House a
resolution directing the publication
Of the Executive utterances from
1897 to March a, 1917, the end of
the '64th Congress. 1t is under
stood that private parties have at
various times printed the documents
for sale at profit to themselves, and
it is to stop that practice and make
the volumes available for free dis
tribution to the Libraries through
out the country that Mr.. Swift's
resolution was prepared.

Income Taxes

The Government is going to send out
men to instruct the taxpayers in pre-
pairing income tax returns. 1t will be
up to the taxpayers to hunt up these
men, who will be sent into every county
seat town and some other towns be-
sides, to meet the people. Postmasters,
bankers and newspapers will be able
to tell when the government s income
tax man will be around, and where to
find him. He will answer questions,
swear you to the return, take your
money, and remove the wrinkles from
your brow. Returns for 1917 must be
made between Jan. / and Mar /, 1918.
''The government recognizes, Col
lector of Revenue Brady said today,
'that many persons experience a good
deal of difficulty in filling out income
tax returns. 1t recognizes, too. that
taxpayers resident at points where col
lectors' Offices are not easily accessible
find it hard to get proper instruc-
ton in the law. Next year, when ev-
cry married person living with wife or
husband and having a net income OF
So, 900, and every unmarried person not
the head of family and having a net
income of 81, 900 for the year 1917 must
make return of income on the pre-
scribed form, there will be hundreds in
every community seeking light on the
law and help in executing their re-
turns. This and every other collection
district in the nation will be divided in
to districts, with the county as the unit,
and government officer informed in
the income tax assigned to each district.
He will spend from to 5 days in each
county, very likely in the court house
at the county seat town. In cities where
there are collector branch Offices. he
will be there, and in other cities. posi-
bly, at the city hall. My Office will in
due time advise postmasters and bank
ers and send out notices to the newspa-
pers stating when the officer will be in
each county. 1t will be unnecessary
for prospective taxpayers to ask my Of
fee for forms on which to make returns.

Round that annual Christmas tree.
Even though they cannot gather
In their homes, round the fire
Let them know thoughts are with them
Thoughts that surely never tire
Though our hearts nearly broken

Send them gifts and loving letters
Twill place courage in their hearts.
Those there who have parents
Others friend they know
Will you help to make them cheerful
On them gifts and praise bestow?
