iding undoubtful points. We will go
right to the people with the Income
Tax, and with the cooperation which
the public can give the government
men, the returns will be filed by
everybody who comes under the laws
provisions, the right taxes Will be
paid, and the district will have done
it's full patriotic duty toward the
governments support.
Meanwhile let me say again, there
is no need of delaying the prepare
ton of figures. Anything that Con-
gross does now will not affect the
amount of a persons earnings for
1913. Let us avoid the belated throw
ing together of figures that may hit
or miss. Guesses cannot be accepted
as the basis of taxation. 1t is clear
ly the duty of every person to COM
pile correct figures and ascertain
whether his income for 1913 was suf-
ficient TO make necessary a sworn
return.
The year 1913 was a banner year
for salaries and wages, and the high
war prices brought unusual profits
to the average small tradesman and
to the farmer. The opinion in Wash
ingtOn is that a million citizens and
residents will make this year their
first income tax returns.
"All signs indicate that the in
come tax this year will reach nearly
every working man and woman, and
nearly every merchant, shopkeeper
and farmer. Not all will have to pay
the tax, but nearly all will be OBJ
liged to make a sworn statement of /
the years income.
II am therefore advising every un-
married person who earned $1,000. or
over during the year 1913, and every /
person, wno together wife !
or husband, earned $4,000, to sharp

. If he sold any property at pro-

DUEL INDEFINITELY PUT OFF
How Wisconsin Congressman Turned

Into Matter Of RidicuIe.

The story of the Potter-Pryor duel,
the famous challenge Of Civil war
times Whereby a Wisconsin congress-
man by ridicule put dueling in disre-
pute, recalled by the death of one Of
the participants, is tod in interesting
style in the June number of the Wis.,

publication of the State Historical So
ciety.
Roger A. Pryor, the Virginia con-
gressman who figured in the episode,
died a few months ago in New York
city. 1t was he upon whom John Fox
Potter of East Troy, Walworth county,
then representative of the First con-
gressiona1 district of Wisconsin, dur
ing April, 1860, brought nationwide
ridicule in answer to a challenge to
duel. Congressman Potter offered to
fight with bowie knives at Il distance
of four feet, but Pryor refused because
they were $50 demnition vulgar"
Most of Mr.. Potters bowie knives,
including the one he purchased for
the duel and others sent to him after
the affair, are now on exhibit in the

Birds Have Rioht of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by a town would see a
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
department Of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and it was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is I'M
lawful.
