THIS WILL NEVER WORK.

The Bolsheviki doctrine in Ameri-
ca is sure loser. A writer from Rus
sia has stated that it is composed of
the following elements:
High wages; no work; take other
peoples property; no punishment;
no taxation.
When Leon Trotzky was in Amer
lea he learned as little concerning
American workers as mole.
Though not bourgeois, the Amer
lean workmen is not trying to be one,
and he believes he will succeed if he
keeps at it long enough.
In Russia IS per cent of the popu-
lation can't read; and it thinks with
the efficiency of mud turtle.
The Bolsheviki will never convert
America. Our public schools and the
opportunities for education made the
American workman too intelligent.

THE ZONE MAILING SYSTEM.

The zone mailing system seems to
be a just and equitable manner in
which to levy postage rates upon
newspapers. Only large metropolitan
papers and magazines oppose it be-
cause it doesn't provide the postage
subsidy of the flat rate plan.
There is no reason why the gov
ernment of the United States should
hand over a postage subsidy Of from
so to 80 million dollars a year to
big city papers and magazines. Be
fore the zone system was adopted e1-
actly this was done, big, heavy news
papers and magazines being sent
through the mails at approximately
one-eighth what it cost the govern
ment to transport them.
The zone system is Pa -as-you-go
proposition - every publication pays
exactly as much postage as the dis
tance travelled to reach a subscriber
calls for.
The Senate seems disposed to kill
the zone postage law at the behest o.
the big city publishing interests, who
squea1 that the public is losing in
education and information by being
denied the perusal of big, wordy per-
iodicals sent to their doors at great
loss to the public.
It was brought out in evidence be-
fore Congress that the Curtis Pub
fishing Co.. OF Philadelphia, publish
ers Of the Saturday Evening Post
and the Ladies Home Journal. sent
their publications through the mails
at loss Of s4,O00,O00 a year to the
before the xoning system
went into effect.
Small city newspapers want no sub
sidy; they do not want to go through
the mails at a loss to the govern
ment. They merely want square
deal for the Government, for the
deal from the Government, for the
people and for themselves.

RIVERS AND RAILROADS.

Commercial experts still do not
agree upon the relative value of ca
nails. and rivers on the one hand, and
railroads on the other.
Some claim that the days Of canal
and river traffic are over; that traf-
flo will take to the swifter means OF
locomotion.
Others say that adequate canals
and river service will produce cheap
er and satisfactory freight transpor-
tation for the heavier kinds of
freight, regarding the transportation
OF which time is not q great factor.
Northern France and Belgium has
a great many railroads; and a great
many canals. That should answer
the question.

To BE Made by School Districts.

All persons owning personal prop
erty or those acting as agents for
others are required by law to list the
same for taxation between January
1st and February 20 1919. This

1919 by the Comptroller General
without penalty.
The law requires that a penalty
Of fifty per cent be added for failure
to comply Herewith. therefore please
do no: wait until the last days to
make your returns but attend to
the matter at the earliest possible
date.
All polls and dogs must be returned
and also any changes in real estate,

NO EXTENSION OF TINE.
Income Tax Returns Must be Made
On OF Before March 18th.

That there will be no general
extension of time beyond March 18th
for the filing Of returns and for the
payment Of Income and Excess Prof
its taxes due on that date, is the
decision of Daniel c. Roper, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The
announcement was made today by
Collector D. c. Hayward immediate
ly following the approval by the
Senate and House of the report of
the conferees on the new Revenue
Bill.
"It is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March the 18th"
says Commissioner Roper. mo other
course is possible. Some months ago,
the Treasury issued certificates of
Indebtedness to an amount approx
mating $S00,000,0O0, maturing
March 18th. The first payment of the
Income and Excess Profits Taxes fer
1918 was planned for that date, to
meet this huge obligation.
1.-THE American people have prov
en- that there is no emergency too
great to be met and solved by COOP
Grafton. This present situation is an
other emergency which can be over
come by cooperative efforts. The
Bureau extends its every fore to-
wards this end, and am relying upon
the people to meet the situation
whole heartedly.
'The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the programme pre-
scribed in the new law, which re-
quires all returns for 1918 to be filed
on or before March 18th, 1919, and
requires the first quarterly payment
or the entire payment to be made on
or before that date.
Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full. payment
of his income tax on or before March
18th. The quarterly payment method
is intended for taxpayers whose fin
ancing of the tax a. one time would
tend to upset local financial con-
ditions.
1.-The approval OF the report Of the
conferees by the Senate and House Of
Representatives brings the new Rev
enue Bill to the point where it may
be assumed to be law. The Internal
Revenue Bureau has been making
preparations to collect the taxes
which it provides, and is now putting
all of its efforts into aiding the tax
payers to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed.
"The Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thous-'
ands of deputies and agents to assist
taxpayers. These officers will be
stationed at convenient points where
they may be consulted without
charge. Taxpayers should take the
initiative and get in touch with these
Revenue Men for any needed advice
and assistance in preparing returns.
"The forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be
in the hands of Collectors between
Feburary the 18th and March l."

WHAI. ABOUT AGRICULTURE?

Fhere fs scne talk in certain quart
ers about . labor surplus. 1t is hard
to csme to this conclusion after ana
Lying the situation. Unfortunately
few people stop to think before they
speak.
The facts are these: There was q
labor shortage before We entered the
war. immigration from Europe had
been cut off for four years.
The shortage of labor in the coun-
try was prodigious-and will contin-
ne this year. As soon as spring opens
up the demands Of the country dis
tricts will make tremendous inroads
upon the so-ealled labor surplus In
certain cities. The agricultural man
power shortage is estimated at g.
000,eee men.
Factories are rapidly getting on a
peace basis and are going ahead full
tilt. Public works on an unprecenden
ted scale are to be started this spring
and carried on throughout the sum-
mer.
Whatever labor surplus exists can
only be temporary. There is nothing
for workingmen to worry about.
And also nothing for anyone else
to worry about.

Holds Time Passed for
Filing Referendum Appeals

Lincoln, Oct. 20.-(Special Did
those charged with authority to file
papers in the supreme court appeal
ing from the opinion of the Lancas-
ter county district court IN the suit
brought by John Hopkins and 9TH
ers of Omaha covering the validity
of the referendum petitions on the
act of the legislature ratifying the
national prohibition amendment,
fail to do their duty and get the
appeal in on time?
Such was the contention of Mr..
Hopkins, an attorney from Omaha,
who appeared before the supreme
court this morning and told the
court that the referendum law spe-
cifcally provides that an appeal in
referendum cases must be made
within I, days, and quoted from
section 233o of the statutes which
reads: EITHER party may appeal to
the supreme court within 10 days
after decision is rendered"
The time under this statute for
filing the appeal expired on August
%, and the appeal was not filed until
September 10. The other side of the
controversy holds that the general
law applies, which gives 90 days.

But Part of Fund Used
on Returned Soldiers

Lincoln, Oct. 20.-(SpeciaD -
Governor McKelvie received this
morning the report of the committee
having in charge the care of return
ing soldiers of Nebras ska landing
in New York City. The report is
a lengthy one and the executive has
not had time to go through it eom-
pletely.
With the report is shown that of
the $4,000 voted by the legislature
to look after the work, but $6,447. 90
was expended. When the appropria-
ton was made it was intended to
expend the money at all places
where the soldiers might land in
this country, but it seemed that the
best results could be secured by
using it where most of the boys
struck the soil of Uncle Sam.
