POLITE. FAIR AND HELPFUL.

Courtesy, square dealing and ser
vice are required by the Internal
Revenue Bureau of its thousands of
employees who are aiding in the col
lection of war revenues. A manual
has been sent out for their use with
the purpose of making as pleasant a.
possible the task of the American cit
izen to find out what his Federal
taxes are and how to pay them.
The internal revenue officers are
instructed to inform the taxpayers Of
all his rights, to require of him not 1
cent more than the law demands,
while at the same time securing for
the Government all that justly is
due it.
1t is estimated that 1000, 900
American citizens will pay income
taxes this year-a great increase
from the few hundred thousand here
tofore paying such taxes.
The work of estimating and COL
lecting taxes from such a great num-
Der of citizens is one of great magni-
tude, and that it should be done fair
ly and without friction is an achieve .
ment worth much effort.

THE PASSING OF HORSE SHOW
DAY AT APRIL COURT.

The passing of what was once the
big feature of April Court Day in
Paris, the stallion show, was pain
fully apparent Monday when only
three stations were exhibited and
they of the draft type of horses.
Years ago somewhere in the neigh
borhood of rs to IS stations would
be on exhibition, representing a
money value of more than 100000.
Then it was that such famous stall
lions as Barron Wilkes, King Chief.
tain, Bourbon Wilkes, Favorite
Wilkes and Bourbon King would at
tract hundreds of horsemen and the
entire public square would be a sea
of humanity interested in the fine an
imals. But this has all disappeared
under the changing stress of time and
the public square is now largely de-
voted to the sale of plug horses and
the parking of automobiles, a bum

At the recent meeting of the Paris
City Council, presided over by Mayor
e. B. January, one of the most i'm
portant features was the recOmmer-
dations made by consulting engineer
w. H. Weiss, with regard to the
lighting of the city and renewal of
the contract for electric lighting for
the current year. By the report it
was shown that the city had been
paying a total of $7,995.04 per an
mum for lighting the city streets,
when reasonable compensation, III
his estimation, would be about
$4,000. Mr.. G. L. Steenbergen, man
ager of the Paris Gas & Electric Co !,
was present, and stated the COM
pany's side of the matter, and that
the company had been consistently
carrying out it's contract with the
city. The matter was deferred for
further investigation.
The Council allowed and ordered
paid the interest to amount of $3.50
on the Mrs. Green Clay note as do
nation to the Massie Memorial Hos
pital. The bond of Patrolman Geo.
Judy was read and put on record. A.
motion was adopted approving a
warning to the public regarding the
dog tax law, which became effec-
tive yesterday. The contract made
with Woods Bros. regarding use CT
the old limekiln property as a public
dumping ground was referred to the
Committee on Sanitation for recon-
sideration. The matter of establish
ing fire zone in the city limits, per-
hitting the city to control the char
acter of building erected and build
ing permits, was brought up for con-
sideration. Councilman Merringer's
motion to drop, the litigation pend
ing between the city and the New
Independent Tobacco Warehouse Co.,
regarding the latter's property in
order to save attorneys fees, was
lost by a vote of to 3.
The report of business done in the
Police Court in the months of jan
uary, February and March was sub
mitted by Police Judge Ernest Mar
tin, showed a total amount assessed
in fine of 1919, of which $3.50 was
collected, $19S replevined and $50
worked out.

He established arsenals, bought guns

storehouses for emergency storing OF
foodstuffs, and built strategic roads

twenty minutes or more before the sec

Then the second party went up and
crossed the lines at a low altitude. The
Germans were evidently surprised.

Americans began doing stunts right
over the German guns, loops, sideslips,
and all safe stunts.
