INCOME TAX SLOGANS
TO STIR TAXPAYERS

Washington, Feb. 26.-Slogans
coined by the internal revenue bu-
reau to stimulate early and full pay
ment of income taxes reflect the
changed conditions in which the tax
payer finds himself now that vic
tory has been won and hostilities
haye ceased. The powers of autoc-
racy have been defeated but the
monetary cost of the success still is
to be met. largely by the taxes to be
paid this year.
Army of Occupation sounds
good but it needs your support"
says one of the slogans. Then it
asks. Have you paid your income
taxi"
Another classes an income tax re-
ceipt with gold service stripe.
Those who celebrated victory most
loudly are reminded that footing a
horn on armistice day did not end
your part in winning a peace with
victory. Paying your income tax
makes more real noise than footing
a horn"
Persons who may be inclined to
grumble at the increased rate of tax
alton are given food for thought in
the following:
''If you think your income tax is
hardship, picture what you would
have been up against had William
Hohenzollern won the collectorship
JOB"
Other slogans include:
"You stand up for the national an
them. Now stand up and pay your
income tax.
"There were no delinquents at
Chateau Thierry. Are you delaying
the payment of your income tax?
Don't try to fool your conscience
by cheering the returning soldiers
and forgetting to pay your income
tax. An income tax evader hasn't
much on any of the other pro-Ger-
mans.
"If you didn't serve over there
you can serve over here by paying
your income tax.
when the boys come home they
will ask what YOU have done. Show
them your income tax receipt.
when you pay your income tax
you get receipt from Uncle Sam.
What would have William Hohenzol-
lern have handed you?
Uncle Sam still has a big job
ahead Of him. Help him by paying
your income tax now"

IS ARMY DIVISIONS TO
SAIL BEFORE JULY |.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Announce-
ment by General Pershing's chief Of
staff that Is national guard and ma
tional army divisions were scheduled
to sail from France before July 1,
copfirms reports current here that
the expeditionay forces were to be
reduced to total strength Of 800, 900
by the end of the fiscal year.
The announcement from France
indicates that in addition to the
seven regular divisions now in
France and into which presumably
men desiring to remain temporarily
are being transferred. the American
forces after July will include the
29th national guard and the 18th
and S1st national army divisions.
This would give nine division
strength for the conrbatant forces
and allow one division for employ
ment as depot unit,

TWO DANGEROUS SPOTS
ON ROAD ELIMINATED

Roseburg, Feb. 26.--According to
the superintendent OF the road con-
struction OF, the new cutoff on the
Pacific highway south OF this city.
about nine miles OF the new road
will be ready for travel this season.
This new road has its beginning near
Winston, and goes south along the
banks OF the South Umpqua river to
near billiard where the road crosses
the river and then re-crosses about
three miles further on, and continues
to Myrtle Creek, completely eliminate
ing Roberts mountain.
This is one OF the finest pieces OF
road Improvement in the county, as
Roberts mountain has been a great
menace to. tourist travel, and the
many accidents. some fatal, that
have occurred on this hill make this
dreaded section of the highway 1t
will entirely eliminate al t'c Grade,
and the road will be in readiness for
travel as soon as the season opens.
Other improvements are being made
in Cow Creek canyon, Canyon Creek
canyon, and near the town OF Glen
dale. A new bridge will be built
over Cow Creek about three miles
from Glendale and the new cutoff
will take what ls known as the old
Stage Coach road, which will enim-
mate another bad hill. This. with
other improvements now under way,
will make Douglas county roads as
good as any In the state, where II
has been in tho past countrywide
saying that Douglas county has the
worst roads In the state" and prob.
ably in the west.
Pass Creek canyon and Roberts
mountain are the two great menaces
to travel. With both these elminat
cd and many other grades reduced
as we'll as about 15 railroad crossing,
eliminated, this county will he fairl,
safe to travel through. This how
ever, Is some task as the county Il
1875 miles in length. and road con
struction, of the right kind, Is hare
to get.

In the recent war we have
materialistic country TO one
seen America change with ra-
pidity from a peace-loving,
swayed by its belief in right
willing to sacrifice money, COM
fort, pleasure for a principle.
Americas young manhood be-
lieved that in entering the war
it was launched in the hottest
of all crusades.
Religion is often closely in
terwoven with this manifesto
ton, but it is not essentially a
religious manifestation. It's
root is in the principle of liber-
ty, and the willingness to sac
rifice all to gain this principle
which founded America. This
may lie dormant in the hearts
of the people for years at a
time, but tradition and charac-
ter keep it alive. When the
time comes it springs to life like
a rebirth.
President Wilson may be an
idealist, but America under all
forms of practically and ma
terialism is a country of ideals.

lying back of its physical force
which helped to bring about

perhaps to the promotion of

But in whose hands soever
the management stands, many
improvements are needed for
the sake of the public.
We have all endured willing

veniences, delays and curtail-
ment of service which the war
made necessary. But now.
realizing that the business de-
velopment of the country de-
ponds upon good railroad ia

pre-war conditions.
Better transportation and
freighting will assist in the re-

coast to coast. There shor!d
