N 'ADOO DEMANDS
ACTION AT ONCE
ON REVENUE BILL
Democrats Thrown Into Con-
sternation by UItlmatum
and See Vacations Go
GIimmering.
Washington Bureau Of The
Omaha Bee, 1911 G. Street.

Omaha Bee, 1911 U street.
Washington, May 24.-(Special Tel
egram. )-Secretary McAdoo today
gave his ultimatum to Chairman
Kitchin OF the ways and means CON-
mittee that a new revenue bill was
inperatively necessary, and he sug-
gested that the machinery should be
started at once to get such a bill
through the house at the present ses-
sion.
CONSERVATION reigned among DEM
ocratic leaders and there never was
such scurrying to cover as was dis
played by those who but short time
before had solemnly asserted that a
new revenue measure at this time was
wholly unnecessary, in view OF the
\ treasury conditions, and that the
country could easily get along until
December, when additional revenue
legislation could be passed.
Look for Summer Homes.
Congressman whose families are in
Washington began planning for sum-
mer homes, for they all saw an early
adjournment go glirnmering with the
announced determination of Secretary
McAdoo not to put off further revenue
legislation until the next session. .
Hearings on the new revenue bill
will begin almost any time, the clerk
of the ways and means committee
stating that it would be wise for peo-
pie desiring to be heard on the new
measure to get ready to come to
Washington at moments notice.
As for the democrats, they are the
sorest lot OF individuals imaginable,
for they had looked forward to at least
three months in their districts repair
ing fences and setting themselves
square with their folks at home. Now,
with revenue legislation facing them,
they have not got the heart to predict
when the session will end.
Work on Omaha Pump.
R. B. Howell OF Omaha, who has
been in Washington for several days
ii the interest of the water works, re-
ceived word from the priority board
that work on the 100000 pump so
urgently needed at the Florence plant,
which is now under course Of con-
struction at Trenton, N. J., had been
resumed and that it would be pushed
to completion with all expedition. Mr..
Howell also was assured that am
monia for the ice plant also would
be expedited.
Prof. o. v. P. Stout, head of the
engineering department Of the Uni
versity Of Nebraska, has been COM
n,issioned a major in the engineering
department of the emergency war
branch OF the quartermaster's depart
rnent and has been assigned to duty

That German submarines are oper-

THE SHIRKERS.

The Tribune has received two let
ters in which it is stated that idle
men cannot find work.
The answer is that the idle men who
cannot find work do not want to find
it,
One of the reasons for the coal
shortage is that laborers who make
from SO to SIS a day refuse to work
more than three or four days a week
Some work only two days a week.
The idle men who loaf about the
Salt Lake pool rooms and whine that
they' cannot find work. might try the
coal mines.
! OF course. there are men who are
incapacitated for almost every kind of
work There are the sick, the lame.
the blind and the mentally deficient,
but there is work for every able
bodied man who is willing to work at
what he can get. But those who like
to stay in the cities and idle their time
in the pool rooms or at the picture
shows are the ones who complain that
they cannot get work. One of the let
ters The Tribune has received is from
a professional letter writer, member
of the l. w. W. which is often trans
lated Il Won't Work Salt Lake Tri-
bune.
Before the italian offensive the
Austrian torpedo boat No. II left the

LIFT THE EVIL.

Senator Borah has introduced a res
olutiOn calling for the amendment of
the rules for the purpose of forcing
the consideration of treaties in open
sessions of the senate. This is not a
new idea growing out of the war. for
the Idaho senator has been consistent
ly fighting for this reform for several
years. We would go a step farther
and abolish the secret sessions of the
senate in toto. Most of the business
transacted is not secret as a matter of
fact, for there is nearly always some
leaky vessel present who blabs the
moment he can find someone to listen
to him. These executive sessions for
the purpose of keeping treaties secret
are also used for covering up the
tracks of senators who sometimes do
and say thing behind closed doors
they would not attempt out in the
open. This is frequently the case
when nominations are submitted to
the senate for approval. If every
thing is to be open and above board
hereafter so far as the international
obligations and treaties of the ma
tions of the world are concerned, let
the veil be lifted at all national capi-
tails and all the public business be
transacted in the full light of day
Secrecy always breeds suspicion and
we do not see the least necessity for
hiding anything from the press and
public We believe the day is at hand
when the light will be turned on in all
dark places.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SALARIES ARE
EXEMPT FROM TAX
Commissioner Clears Up More Tech
nicalities OF Income Assessments.

School teachers, under the ruling of
the commissioner of internal revenue,
are not subject to tax on their salaries
as teachers, but are allowed that
amount as exempt, and teachers are
also allowed an exemption of $1,000
outside the salary, if single. and $1,000
ii married.
The status of a man married late in
the year 1917, as to whether he would
be required to schedule as a married
or single person is determined by the
mere fact that he is married. He may
have remained single until December
81 and then married, and he would be
considered married for purpose of in
come taxation, and would be allowed
the exemption of $4,000, although prac-
tically throughout the year he was un-
married This is one of the techni-
calities of the income tax law.
The question continues to be asked
whether or not person is required
to make a return on his income even
| if not subject to the tax. The answer
is that he does not have to make a re-
turn, except that if he is married and
for instance, has two children and has
an income of $4,000. In this event he
must file a schedule, although, being
allowed an exemption of 5000 for each
Of his children he does not have to
pay the tax.
The commission has ruled that "sur-
plus which is not invested capital as
defined in section 207 of the war rev.
enue act, if earned prior to the tax
able year and invested in Liberty
bonds, will be invested capital for the
excess profits tax Surplus not earn
ed during the taxable year, invested
in Liberty bonds, is not invested capi-
tall"
A married man having three chill
dren and who is earning more than
$4,000 a year, and who has dividends
from stock investments, and whose
wife also received from her father a
certain amount during the year. is not
required to schedule the amount re-
ceived by his wife from her father un.
less it is income from an estate. If il
is a personal gift it is not to be in.
cluded in the husbands report. A de
duction is allowed for all children un.
der is years of age.
Children supporting their wodoweC
mother are not considered heads O
a family. The mother has that dis
tinction, and the children, if earnin,
$1,000 or more during the year, are al
lowed the usual exemption, if single
of that $1,000.
/ Regular quarterly dividends. in casl
! received on the net earnings of domes
tic corporations are regarded as tax
- able income Dividends paid in stool
{ are not taxable.
I Premiums paid on life and fire in
t surance cannot be claimed exempt
e. but are held as items of personal ex
e pense. Premiums covering farr
