for Nicksburg Mississippi, to dedicate tile
monument erected TO commcmorate the
services Of the PENNSYLVANIA soldiers who
took part in that campaign. 1t is fact
OF which Pennsylvanians ought. to be
proud, and which has a significance, that
this state was represented not only In all
of the battles Of the East, hut likewise
in those of the West. NO other eastern
State OF the North had any part in Shiloh
We reached NicksburE on the morning of
the 93d and were received with salute
of seventeen guns. General stephen D.
Lee, who had been lieutenant general III
the rebel army, sensible. kindly ana
agreeable Ecntlema2. had charge OF the
local arrangements and gave us much at
tention. We rode through the National
Park and were taken I'm steamboats, upon
the Mississippi River to Grants cut or
where it was attempted TO divert the chan.
mel of the river as war measure. The
black alluvial soil along the river is sev-
enty or eighty feet in depth and suggests
agricultural richness. Nobody appeared to

sounded like a repetition of some Fourth of

monument and gave it into the custody of
the nation. In the evening the veterans
of the Union and Rebel armies assembled
in the Vicksburg Opera House and Lee
and | made addresses. Among those who
were on the program was Jack Crawford,
the Texas scout a glib man with some ora
torical and literary ability. whose hair hung
down on his shoulders and who has become
a stock figure in soldier demonstrations
throughout the country. He haunted the
footsteps Of Mrs. James i. Pennypacker
and wrote poem In her honor which he
sent to her. We returned home by way OF

HIRAM AFTER THE RAILROADS

CENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON. candidate
~ for Vice President on the Roosevelt
ticket in 1912. did not rise above vice presi.
dental requirements in his arguments for
government ownership Of railroads. The
matter is important because 'our next
President" is often shouted at the great
Californian as well as at Mr.. McAdoo. who
told a committee recently that he person.
ally was not for government ownership,
but for government control
II is not getting anywhere to say tho
Government was slow in taking over the
roads. The strong voice of Mr.. johnson
did not echo up and down the land de.
manGtng this action. Nor is the Senator
impressive when he says that to pay rail
roads their average earnings for the last
three years is as unheard of as paying sol.
diets the salaries they would earn in civil
life
But IL is courageous OF Senator John.
son to toss political considerations to the
winds with a fine gesture. A man does
not have TO be President to be power in
the land. We would never have heard of
Hiram johnson II he had not had to fight
the railroads of California. Mr.. McAdoo IS
probably right in inclinipg toward govern
ment control rather than government own.
ership. but with Senator johnson demand.
ing an extreme as radical as the program
Of any Socialist there will be no letting
the railroads slip back into their old
methods. Those who demand ownership
will not be satisfied with anything short
of the strongest kind of control
1t will be intensely interesting to learn
Mr.. Roosevelts opinion of his Progressive
running mates uncompromising position.

Administration Simplified


The repeal Of the Withholding provisions,
except in so far as they apply to tax-free cove
nant bonds and income OF certain kinds paid
to nonresident alien individuals has sirnpli-
fed the administration OF the law and will
relieve those who were obliged to withhold
under the old law from considerable trouble.
Another important change in the law Is
the provision allowing the taxpayer to de-
duct contributions or gifts made to cor
porations or associations organized and op-
Grated exclusively for religious charitable
scientific or educational purposes to an
amount not exceeding Is per cent OF the
taxable income
Another new provision is that which re-
quirrs information at the source from any
person or concern that paid to one or more
persons during the previous year salary,
wages interest, rent, etc, of $500 and over
These returns arc to he made on separate
forms amt not on the forms for individual
or corporation income returns.
These iu brief outline arc some Of the Inn
portant changes made by The new law Tho
Interpretation of tho internal revenue laws
when made by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue govern the action of the bureau
Decisions as to doubtful questions are made
from time 70 time. Tho number of such
questions has been largely increased by the
new act and the resources of the service
have accordingly been taxed to the utmost.
While the work of tho bureau has increa sed
to a great extent during the last five years
the expense of conducting it has not shown
a corresponding increase. SO far as the
First District of Pennsylvania is concerned
II may be of interest to note that while
the cost OF collection was s1.34 per 500
in 1912. 1t was only forty-one cents in 1917.
The cost will be still further reduced during
the present year.
The internal revenue service is anxious 10

do their duty to their country in this time
OF national trial, when all the resources Of

Requirements as to Returns

Tho requirements as to returns are i'm brief:
every single person whose income was $1,000
or over in 1917 must mike a return. So
must every married man or woman whose
income exceeded $1,000 in that year
So must any married person not living
with his or her wife or husband whose
income exceeded $1,000.
SO must every husband and wife whose
joint incomes exceeded $1,000 even though
neither Of them has an income amounting to
that sum
So must a married man or woman whose
minor and dependent child or children earn
wages or salaries which added to his or her
own income, exceeded the sum of $1,000.
The new law having reduced the exemption
Of single persons to $1,000 and of married
persons to $1,000 and the old law still in
force having retained the exemptions of
$4,000 and $4,000. the bureau was confronted
with the dificully Of preparing a form that
would meet the situation without requiring a
dual method Of calculation. The result has
been achieved, aud although the form as it
Is, will, no doubt. he found 20 be intricate
II does represent the best that could be done
under the conditions arising from the law.

Fordson Tractor
 Adapted for Farm Use

The "Fordson" Tractor is the result of extensive trials and ex. periments conducted by Henry Ford, covering a period of many years. Before placing the tract. or on the market, every detail has been thoroughly tried out under actual farming conditions in various parts of this country and abroad.
 Experience has pointed to the small, light tractor as being the one machine which will fill all varying conditions satisfactorily.
 In developing the "t'ordson'' Tractor, the aim has been to pro, duce a small tractor which will be low in first cost, reliable and above all - efficient.
 Being small, light and econom. ieal, the ''Fordson" Tractor is adapted for use on small farms, as well as on the largest. It will pull all farm implements and dc the work generally done by horses on the farm. In addition, by it's belt pulley the tractor will drive farm machinery such as 8 thresher,- ensilage cutter, saw, mill, etc., making the "Fordson'' a truly universal tractor.
 In design and construction the "Fordson" takes a long step in approaching the ideal tractor. The simplicity of it's operation and construction will at once ap. peal to the farmer.
 Special devices were perfected to keep out dust and dirt. All moving parts are enclosed anC thoroughly fabricated. The mum. Der of lubricating points requir. ing attention are very few and easily gotten at.
 The motor, transmission ano rear axle are assembled together, forming one rigid unit, which, combined with the three-point suspension, relieves these parts of all strain.
 The absence of any frame gives accessibility to all parts fol making adjustments or repairs, and allows the tractor to be taker apart in a few minutes. The motor is of substantial de. sign and is capable of delivering its full power continuously. Il embodies features which have been used with success in other fields for many years.

E WILLING TO GO
Whenever Uncle Sam Wants Him, Is Martin Morten-
 sen's Answer

The report has gone out that Martin Mortensen, Jr., demo- cratic candidate for county su- perintendent of schools, will not be able to serve in this office, be- cause he will soon be called to the war. With the draft ages very likely to be fixed to include men from IS to 45. who of our civil officers will not stand in a similar position relative to war service?
 But, as a matter of fact, if Mir. Mortensen had had his way. he would have been in France sometime ago. He has never claimed any exemption, and when called before the local board here, he expressed his de- sire to go. But the examining physicians found that a severe case of typhoid fever had left it's effects in a bad hip and leg, rendering him physically unfit for army service.
 As the need for fighters be- came more pressing, Mir. Nor jensen again offered his services. Less than a month ago. while at the University of Utah, he ap- piled to the regular U. s. Army physician in charge of the train ing detachment there. for a cer- tificate of physical fitness for war service. The physician, after a thorough examination, assured Mir. Mortensen that it was entirely out of the question for him to try to get into the fighting service of the army. And when told what Mir. Nor jensen was doing at home, the officer replied that service in such capacities is as necessary, and If properly rendered, as pa- triotic, as service in the army itself.
 Whenever "Uncle Sam wants Mir. Mortensen, no matter what he Is doing here at home. the people may rest assured that he will answer the call with pleas ure and pride.
