WILSON SPEECH STIRS LONDON.
Sensation Equal To or Greater Than One

America entered the war, takes the lead

paper describes it as THE Magma Charta

Coming so closely on the heels of Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges address at the labor

the American and British governments
are compared closely. While some diff
ferences are found in the manner of dis
cussing the various questions, yesterday

FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

This Tax to Pay.

A federal income tax will be levied on
all persons who in the calendar year 1917
had net incomes in excess of 81 900 in
some cases and $4,000 in others. The
tax ON incomes in excess of these figures
varies from per cent in some cases to
4 per cent in Others, or much higher in
still others.
Penalties as high as 81 900 will be in

as high as $1,000 and years imprison-
ment by making false returns.
A representative OF the internal rev
enue bureau of the Z. $. treasury will
visit each county to see that proper re-
turns are made by all persons who should
ray the tax. The net income on which
this tax is to be paid by farmers is the
income which the farmer has left after
paying the running expenses of his farm.
Living expenses for the family cannot be
deducted.
This internal revenue agent will doubt
less be able to assist farmers in figuring
their principal receipts from crops. live

ers may overlook some of their miseel
laueous expenses, and thus pay tax on
more than they should.
County Agent F. H. Abbott has re-
ceived quite complete information regard
ing this income tax, and, while he has
nothing whatsoever TO do with the max
ing of these returns or with the collection
Of the tax, he win be able to answer
most of the questions which may be

RAILROAD RATES WILL
BE MATERIALLY RAISED
General Readjustment of Complicated
System to Fit the Non-competitive
Situation Will Be an Early
Development.

Washington. Jan. l0.--General read
iustment of the country's complicated
rate system to fit the new non. COMPETE
tive situation will be one of the early
outgrowths of government railroad OPP
GRAFTON, it was officially indicated yester-
day. Many readiustments considered in
volve material increases in rates.
The interstate commerce commission S
attention has been called to a number
of abnormally low rate schedules caused
by competition between railroads whose
rivalries have now ceased. Consequently
the basic cause for the low rates has
been removed and the expected result is
the development of agitation for gem
eral modification.
The method of accomplishing this has
not been worked out, but many officials
believe the interstate commerce commits
sion eventually will have to take the
initiative in revising rates. That would
be a radical departure from the commits
sion's functions under private railroad
control, when it passed only on the mer.-
its of applications or complaints present
ed by carriers or shippers interests. ANY
increases or decreases in rates would
have to be made case at time and
the entire process would extend over a
year or more.
The power of Director General MeAdoo
to determine rates has not yet been as
certained clearly, but it is believed he
would not attempt to order rate modi-
fications without the approval of the
commission. Temporarily railroads have
been left free to conduct their own rate
questions, and since the government as
summed control number of applications
for increases have been received by the
Interstate commerce commission"

Tuesday after Homer L. Ferguson. pres

Washington, Jan. TO- Approval OF
President Wilson's address to Congress
setting forth Americas program for war

seemed universal that he had chosen the
psychological moment to counteract any

tovsk and counteract the duplicity of
the Germans shown in their dealings
with the Russians. In making his speech
he assumed that the Russo German peace
negotiations definitely had been broken

Another reason for the message was
found in the necessity of making some
reply to the request of the Bolsheviki
that the United States and the entente

made il condition of the negotiations
