Bolsheviki Hints:

Always remember to year your
red flannel underwear. In this
way you may wear your color
without attracting the attention
of the capitalistic police.
The men should shave on the
first Tuesday OF every month.
The women should comb their
hair on the same date.
A bath should be taken every
time one is arrested.

house than to pay for one on the

GETTING AFTER MERCHANTS

Now that the war is over the gov
eminent has more time to interfere
with business and make it harder for
anybody to get living. Just now the
internal revenue department is start
| ing a drive to make local merchants
more trouble in preparing their in
come tax returns Last year it took
merchant about a week to make out
his income tax blank This year it
will take him month if indications
are anything to judge by Following
is the announcement just made by the
internal revenue bureau.
A special drive to locate merchants
and manufacturers who have followed
erroneous methods in making their in
ventories for the taxable years 1917
and 1913 such methods tending to re
duce tax liability is about to be made
/ by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, it
/ was announced today.
| In cases of voluntary disclosures
before investigation of failure to make
proper return and payment, the policy
of the Bureau, it vas stated, will be
( to forego penalties except where there
is intentional evasion of the tax.
Where discovery is made by Govern
ment officers heavy penalties will APP
ply.
In some cases inventories have been
found TO have been taken on the basis
of average costs, though 1t was pos
siible to identify the articles remain
ing on hand at the inventory period,
and so determine their exact cost In
others, because of conservative ac-
counting methods flat percentages
have been deducted after determin-
ing inventory values. Others use a
fixed average, based upon costs OF
prior years, or fail TO include all mer-
chandise to which they have title in
their inventory.
All of these methods. which have the
effect OF reducing tax liability, are CON
trary to the regulations of the Bureau
and are illustrative, it was said, OF
numerous irregularities which have
been found.
A warning issued by the Bureau add
vises taxpayers who have followed
such methods to file correct returns
without notice and without investiga-
ton. Some taxpayers have voluntar-
lily notified the Bureau of the employ
ment of incorrect methods, and are
filing amended returns. II is only
fair to these taxpayers, the Bureau
states, that their competitors who
have made similar errors should be
located

opening lines of ''Dost Thou Know that Sweet

How came this? They were hearing Miss

Then we have the potentiality
Of other unions to consider, in
GLIDING the miners, who have L
crisis coming within a short time
themselves as well as the rail-
road men of the country, who have
already made demands. These
workers and others may be drawn
into the great struggle before it
is over while / do not believe a
pre-arranged general strike will
be called, yet i fear the results of
great excitement over possible
killing, like those we read about
in the papers Of to day, and it is
possible that in the heat of pas
sion men may lay down their
work and be swept into revolu-
ton with cyclonic fury.
"Anything is possible as an out
come Of the present situation and,
should a general strike or revolu-
ton occur, it would be the. out
come of too great pressure being
brought to bear upon the men,
who, in a state of unrest and in
dustrial uncertainty, have reached
a highly infamable condition that
might burst out spontaneously"

The murder of Robin Cooper,
murderer Of Edward Carmack, is
quite natural consequence of his
own course of life. When he
killed Carmack he killed better
man than himself. He was not
hung for it as he should have
been. He was not punished at all.
He became, on the other hand
rather a hero among the lawless
elements that brought booze to its
ruin in Tennessee. Nothing hast
ened the collapse of the whiskcy
political machine so much as that
UNPUBLISHED murderer of a good
man. Nothing could better light
up the vanity of hopes built On
corruption and violence than the
circumstance that the head and
front, the chief beneficiary and
loudest trumpet Of that sodden or
ganization, has for some times
been touring the country as pro-
hibition advocate.
When violence is licensed,
against the poorest beggar or the
humblest negro, a community loses
something of.its capacity to take
care of itself against the violent.
The more conspicuous the lawless-
ness that goes UNPUBLISHED, the
broader and more pressing is the
invitation to further lawlessness.
When Cooper murdered Carmack
and the whiskey ring saved Cooper
from the gallows, they laid the
scene between them for many OF
the murders that have since de-
faced Tennessee's annals.
cit is a dangerous thing re-
marks a New York newspaper,
"for any community to tolerate
the slightest infringement upon
the equal enforcement Of the law
by its constituted authorities
Lynch low and no law are the
inevitable consequences
There was close kinship between
the impulse that laid Cooper low
and the impulse behind the dead
ly race riot that broke out III
Knoxville the same day. Cooper
himself had made rich contri-
button to that impulse.-New Or
leans Item.

rice, as the home Office and its sec.
retary-manager E. A. Eignus. are
known throughout the rice belt
and in the American rice markets.
Organized in 1910, the Southern
Rice Growers Association. COM
posed of the rice growers Of Texas.
Louisiana and Arkansas is today
one of the strongest organizations
of farmers in the country and the
remarkable growth and increas-
ing strength of the association is
due to the scientific business
methods inaugurated and carried
on by the present administration.
e. A. Eignus has been secretary
Of the Association since 1913, and
has built up the organization from
a handful of farmers to a point
where it is the principal factor in
the America nrice market today.
The establishment of the London
office is merely an instance Of the
aggressive business methods en-
ployed in the conduct of the bus
mess of the rice farmers of Texas,
Louisiana and Arkansas. With
every prospect that American rice
will be in big demand in Euro
pean markets, owing to the short
ace in Oriental rices and the re-
sultart EMBARGO on their export,
the Southern Rice Growers pro-
pose to keen accurately Informed
as to actual marPet conditions
abroad that the price thew get for
the American product will be reg
ulated purely according to the
law of snn~ly and demand rather
than nv hearish stories which in
past years have been circulated
to the detrimert Of the industry.

TEXAS WOMAN WILL REPRE-
SENT THE GREAT RICE
INDUSTRY ABROAD.

The distinction of being the
first foreign representative of the
American Rice Industry as well as
the only woman ever sent abroad
to represent such large business
interests has been conferred upon
Mrs. M. A. Hayes of Houston.
Texas. Mrs. Hayes is now on her
way to London where she will
have charge of the foreign office
of the Southern Rice Growers As
ISOLATION.
The honor bestowed upon Mrs.
Hayes is well deserved she having
by her experience as a clean rice
sales-woman and her general bus
mess ability been exceptionally
well fitted to occupy SO important
a post. Having for the past seven
years managed one of the largest
and widest known rice mill con-
construction firms in the rice belt,
her contact with the rice people
has given her an additional insight
into all phases Of the industry,
and in spite of her sex. Mrs. Hayes
is given credit throughout the en-
tire rice belt form New Orleans
to California, with having a bet
ter grasp of the many details OF
the rice business than most men
connected with it.
Mrs. Mayes' personality, her
knowledge of business, and her
ability as a saleswoman and ex-
ecutive will attach a distinction
to the London Office of the South
ern Rice Growers Association,
that promises to make it as well
known throughout the various
markets Of Europe, which this
year are expected to import con-
