THE SOUTH AND THE SADDLE.

Mr.. Bankhead gets another term in
the senate. His nomination Is equival
ent to election. He is a veteran legis-
lator. He served in both branches of
the Alabama legislature before enter
ing congress. His first appearance in
Washington was as a member of the
fiftieth house long time ago. He
succeeded John T. Morgan in the sem
ate, and has been a member of that
body ever since.
Unlike many men who have dis
tinguished themselves in politics in
the south, Mr.. Bankhead is not an ora
tor. But he is very effective speaker
when the topic suits him; and ITS
favorite topics have to do with practi-
cal affairs. The soutf1's development
as manufacturing ana planting Sec
tion has engaged much of his atten-
ton.
This explains his long strong hold on
the people of his state. They have
found in hin vigilant and successful
representative. He has studied their
interests and applied his studies. He
seldom appears in debate, but is never
absent from cottiee meetings If the
absent from a committee meeting il
stituents-
It is to the credit of Alabama that
She rewards her public servants ac-
cording to their demonstrated deserts.
She kept Senator Morgan in commits
sion many years; and ne died in har-
ness. Senator Pugh likewise served
many years continuously. Gen. Joe
Wheeler, as member of the house,
enjoyed favor for long time. Mr..
Underwood as a representative became
a veteran and was then advanced to
the senate, where he is likely to re-
MAIN.
But Alabama is not the only south
ern state pursuing this very intelligent
policy. Long service has marked the
careers of a number of southern men
/ who since the civil war. have partici-
pated in politics on the national stage.
In both house and senate they have had
opportunity not only to distinguish
themselves, but to reap the rewards
of their distinction. Their experiences
has counted heavily in their favor in
| the organizations Of congress, and in
the influence which attaches to high
committee assignments. They and fnefs
| section have profited from their SEN
| iority.
| This leads to the charge occasionally
| that the south is in the saddle in
congress. II she is it is because she
knows how to ride.-Washington Star.

ALLOTMENT AND ALLOWANCE CHECKS

There has been change in the system of the
bureau of war risk insurance of the Treasury in
the matter of allotment and allowance checks.
This results in some of the checks sent out by
the bureau being for smaller sums than hereto
fore, but the amounts omitted from the checks
sent out by the bureau will be included in checks
sent out from other sources.
Prior to July last the War Risk Insurance
Bureau took the compulsory allotment of SIS a
month and whatever additional sum the enlisted
man chose to allot to his family. and the whole
amount, together with the government allow
ance for dependents was included in one check
and sent out by the bureau. The bureau will
now collect and send out only the compulsory
allotment of SIS month and the government
family allowance
The excess allotments over the compulsory SIS
allotment and the allotments to persons not en-
titled by law to allowances will not be handled
by the bureau of war risk insurance, but by the
war navy department, the marine corps or
coast guard, according to the branch of service
to which the enlisted man belongs.
The new system will simplify the work of the
bureau and is expected to accelerate the payment
of allotments and allowances

COLLECTING UNITED STATES TAXES

In the execution of the policy of paying as
large proportion of the expenses of the war by
taxation possible the treasury is making every
effort to collect all federal taxes due to the Uni
ted States.
The department has evidence against many
who have sought to evade taxes. Some of these
tax evaders are American citizens residing or So
journina in Canada. A corps of specially trained
revenue agents viii be sent to the Canadian COM
munities where many of these tax evaders reside
to obtain tax returns from them.
