lessees, trustees, receivers and en-
plOyers, are required to make COM
plete return of all amounts of $500
or more paid during the year in
wages, salaries, interest, rent, pre-
NUNS, annuities or any other form
of compensation to persons, corpora
lions or partnerships. In the case of
interest on bonds, mortgages, ETC., a
return is required regardless of the
amount.
This means that every corporation
must furnish the government with a
complete list Of all employees who re-
ceive in wages or salaries $500 a
year or more.
AS these returns come in they are
card indeXed, with a card for every
person whose name appears.
All amounts a person receives
from all sources are brought togeth-
er in one place.
Thus, for Joe Doe, there may be
half dozen cards-one showing that
he received $4,000 salary from the
P. D. Q. Corporation; another show
ing he owns some steel stock which
paid 81, 900 dividends last year; an
other showing he owns land for
which he received 5000 rent; anoth-
ef showing he dabbled in stocks last
year with Skinnem & Soakem, brok-
ers, and cleaned up $1,000 in cop
pers; and another showing he re-
ceived $1,000 royalty on patent.
When Joe Doe goes to make up his
income tax return this year he may
want to forget some of the items.
He may think "WeIl nobody knows
about that little flyer in coppers. I
guess | will leave that out. Nobody
will be any wiser, and just look how
much tax l have to pay without that.
Surely, | am doing my share of pay
ing for the war"
But your Uncle Sam will know!
He may not know within six months
or year, because the filing and in
deXing Of the millions of cards is a
colossal task. But he is going to fin
ish that job sooner or later. Then a
clerk will take Joe Does sworn tax
return, go to the card file and get
out all the cards that show payments
to Joe Doe. He will compare these
with the tax return and find that Joe
left out that $1,000 profits on stock
speculation. He will report that to
the district attorney, and some morn
ing Joe Doe will find himself in court
facing charge of defrauding the
government with a prospective pen
atty of 5000 fine and year in the
federal pen.
1t may be two or three years be-
fore Joe Doe is caught, but Uncle
Sans revenue agents never let up.

shortage of at least 10000 over

equipment in some camps, but said

ceived.

Reforms in Baling and Marketing
Of Cotton Proposed.

Resolutions enforcing economic re-
forms in the baling and marketing of
cotton adopted by the Southern Com
mercial congress, have been trans
mitted to Secretary Houston of the
Department Of Agriculture and Direc-
tor General McAdoo Of the railroad
administration.
An outline Of plans by Col. Harvie
Jordan, of Georgia, president Of the
Southern Cotton association and a
member of the board of directors Of
the Southern Commercial congress,
whereby the present system of waste
in the handling Of transportation Of
cotton might be abolished through
modern methods of gin compression to
secure greater density and a more uni
form bale, accompanied the resolution.
Greater density in baling would
reduce approximately from 10000 to
10000 the number of freight cars re-
quired to transport the crop, it is
claimed.
1t was also urged that the Federal
bureau of markets plan an active cam
paign of education as to methods
which will better safeguard to the cot
ton growers the samp1ing, warehous-
ing and financing Of the cotton crop
until it is sold to spinners.

1t cannot be an easy task for a
grief-stricken woman to turn always
a smiling face when her child asks
for it's dead father. We know most
conscientious woman who did not
quite succeed one day. She succumbed
to the tremendous bitterness which
was in her; against not only the hell
loosed Hun who had taken her hus-
band and two brothers, but against
everything to the Infinite; a fierce
protest that she, in the midst of peace
and happiness, she and her countless
widowed sisters of France, had been
plunged into such needless agonies of
grief!
Thus writes Lillian Chester in a
recent letter from Paris, telling how
French mothers smile in their grief
and despair in order to keep the gloom
and horrors of war from their children
Plunged into such needless agonies

refuse to put Government propaganda
across to the people, that they keep
silent about Liberty bonl issues, WarI
Savings and Thrift stamps, etc, uness
the Government pays for such pub
licity. That is of course "monstrous'
as the Statesville Landmark remarks,
and close to sedition, if it is not al
together that. Patriotic newspapers
are going to do their possible to aid
the Government in winning the war,
no matter what they may think OF
the action of Director McAdoo IN re-
fusing to advertise with them. The
Robesonian would like for the rail
roads to continue to advertise, and It
does not relish having to pay out mon
ey every time it has to ride OH the
railroad, but that has nothing to do
with the attitude we should take, and
intend to take, toward helping to win
the war. The Government can have
the whole-hearted service of The Robe
sonian for any sort Of service it
wants it to perform during the war
regardless Of whether we walk OF
crawl. Walking is good, anyhow, OF
we can stay at home.
But it will ease the pain of the
newspaper men if Director McAdoe
cuts out the passes, too, now that he
has cut out the mileage for which
newspapers paid in advertising.
