BLOW 1T ALL IN!

When congress authorized the Pres
ident to take over the railroads it
fixed the time of government opera
tion to be for the period of the war
and for 81 months thereafter. To pro-
vide means Of financing such opera
ton a revolving fund of $500,000,000
was set aside for the use of the Di-
rector General in supplying funds to
needy roads for maintenance and
equipment. 1t was supposed by the
LEGISLATORS that that huge sum would
be ample to meet all requirements: in
fact it was anticipated that long be-
fore it was exhausted some Of the
first loans made would be coming back
into the Treasury, and the fund would
in truth revolve.
But instead of carrying the roads
through a period of years, as contem-
plated by the trainers Of the legisla-
ton, the revolving" fund is practi-
cally exhausted in the very first year
of Federal administration. The Di-
rector General in his annual report
admits that over $453, 100000 of that
amount has been expended already

Big INCOME TAX
DRIVE NOW ON
Largest Coll ction In History Expeote d

Largest Coll ctlon In History Expected
Detroit, Jan. 20.-The big income
tax drive of 1919 is now under way,
and every preparation is being made
to handle the largest collection in the
history of income tax. "I am not wait
ing for the final passage of the new
revenue bill by congress-" said Col
lector Brady today, "nor for the new
regulations and blank forms to be is
sued. To get this big tax in and get
it accurate and complete, l urge that
we all begin now.
"The income tax obligations impos-
ed by the old laws, as we'll as the
measure now in congress, consist of
two distinct operations. One is, to
file return or statement of all items
of deductions allowable by law, and
to do this within the period named
in the law. The other is, to pay the
tax, if any is due.
Neither of these obligations can
be met without careful review of
income and expenditure for the tax
year. That is the big job right now
and that is why say the income tax
drive is already under way. Every
where the pencil is busy. The old
year is done; all it's fruits are CLEAN
ed; and every person who Jared we'll,
or earned good competence, must
analyze his own case in cold figures.
"When the new bill is enacted into
law, l will have the proper return
forms distributed throughout the uls>
trict, and everybody will be informed
of the date when the sworn return
must be filed. 1t is my plan to send
my men out to central locations, and
to have them travel through the dis
trict, aiding taxpayers in the prepa-
ration of the returns and in deciding
doubtful points. We will go right to
the people with the income tax, and
with the cooperation which the pub
lie 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 dis
trict will have done its full patriotic
duty toward the governments sup
port.
Meanwhile, let me say again, there
is no need of delaying the preparation
of figures. Anything that congress
does will not affect the amount of a
persons earnings for 1918. Let US
avoid the belated throwing together
of figures that may hit or miss.
Guesses cannot be accepted as the
basis of taxation. 1t. is clearly the
duty of every person to compile cor
rect figures and ascertain whether
