Chicago last night in a special
train under a heavy guard on
their way to an Atlantic port,
where it is said they will be de-

Forty of the prisoners came
direct from Seattle, where it is
alleged they took part in foment-
ing the general strike which has
paralyzed the industries of that
city for several days.
Three leaders of the Seattle
strike, one Spokane agitator, an

the Seattle strike was called we
gathered forty agitators into the

months and gathering evidence
against l. w. w. leaders and

Income Taxes Due by March Is.

Income Taxes Due by March Is.
| New Orleans. Feb. 10. j. Y.
Fauntleroy, in a bulletin issued
Sunday. announced that it is nec-
essary to get the initial income
tax payment in by March Is, and
that no general extension of
time beyond that date will be
granted for filing returns.
The bulletin, based on a letter
received from Commissioner Ro-
per of the Internal Revenue De-
partment, states:
1T is necessary to get the in
itial tax payments in by March
15," says Commissioner Roper.
mo other course is possible.
Some months ago the treasury
issued certificates of indebted
ness to an amount approximat-
ing $500, 600, 900 maturing March
Is. The first payment of the in
come and excess profits taxes for
1918 was plapned for that date
to meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have
proven that there is no emer-
gency too great to be met and
solved by cooperation. This
present situation is another emer-
gency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort. The bureau
extends its every force toward
this end, and l am relying upon
the people to meet the situation
intellectually.
1.-The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the program pre-
scribed in the new law, which
requires all returns for 1918 to
be filed on or before March Is,
1919, and requires quarterly pay
ment or the entire payment to
be made on or before that date.
Every taxpayer who can pos
sibly do so is urged to make full
payment of his income tax on or
before March Is. The quarterly
payment method is intended for
taxpayers whose financing of the
tax at one time would tend to up
set local financial conditions.
The approval of the report of
the conferees by the senate and
house of representatives brings
the new revenue bill to the point
where it may be assumed to be |
law. The Internal Revenue Bu-
reau has been making prepare
tons to collect the taxes which
it provides, and is now putting
all of its efforts into aiding the |
taxpayers to fulfill the obliga-
tons imposed.
The bureau has arranged to |
send an advisory force of several |
thousands of deputies and agents |
to assist taxpayers. These Off
GERS will be stationed at conven-
lent points where they may be
consulted without charge. Tax
payers should take the initiative
and get in touch!with these rev.
enue men for any needed advice
and assistance in preparing re-
turns.
The forms for the tax returns
are being printed and all forms
will be in the hands of collectors
between Feb. Is and March l."

most dangerous which the cot.
ton states have faced in recent
years. You have had four years
of comparative prosperity, part.
ly because four short crops OF
cotton with resultant good prices
and partly because you produced
so much of your own food and
feed. During the last four years
there have been short crops in
Texas mainly due to drought.
Texas has had good rains this
winter. Oklahoma has hi d
splendid rains this winter. A
big crop in Texas and Oklahoma
has always meant a big crop in
the whole country. Think that
over before you decide to In
crease your acreage in cotton.
Will the mills of Northern
France and Belgium be restored
to full working capacity at once?
Certainly not! Will the poor
people of Europe seek food or
cotton first? Food of course!
People can and will wear patch
ed clothing and sleep without
pillow cases and sheets if need
be, but the hungry stomach must
must be fed. Think about that.
The last four years have been
a period of gradually increasing
prices. Farmers and business
men have profited out of this
constant increase. Cotton just
about kept pace with other
things. A pound or an acre Of
it would buy about the same
quantity of other commodities in
1918 at 80 cents a pound as it
did in 1914 at IL cents a pound.
but during this time the farmers
had the advantage of purchasing
supplies in the spring and sum-
mer at one level of prices and
then selling cotton in the fall at
the top price of the year and
paying the debts contracted at
the lower prices. Be on your
guard now, for when prices be-
gin to settle down the situation
becomes more difficult. We may
be in the position of making a
crop of cotton with high-priced
and settling our debtF|
out of cotton at a lower price,.
Especially will this be true if we
produce a very large crop and
thereby do all in our power to
lower the market price of cotton,
Has not a large crop meant low
er prices? Think that over.
Which would you rather do,
produce more cotton and take
less price for it after working
a larger number of acres at great
er expense, or limit your produc-
ton to a smaller number of acres,
better tended, permitting the
full production of your food and
and feed and a better chance for |

1t is absolute folly to upset the
present prosperity of the cotton |
states by planting a large acre.
age which can only mean a large

But remember that there is a
rood way. Food plus cotton
EQUALS prosperity. Full produc-
ion of the food for our people
md the feed for our growing
livestock industry in the South

TELEGRAPHERS TO
GO OUT TOMORROW
CIV Associated Press,

CHICAGO, June 10.-Only eleventh
hour concessions by operating com
panies can prevent the strike tomor
row of some 10000 telegraph and tele
phone operators, S. j. Konenkamp
the international president of the com
mercial telegrapher's union Of Amer
lea said today after receipt of addi.
tional reports from locals in various
sections Of the country.
The only ray Of hope, union officials
said, was that officials of the postal
telegraph and cable company might
sign the new agreement thus keeping
employees Of that company out of the
strike. This hope was based on a
message from the west to the effect
that the federal telegraph company,
operating land and wireless lines on
the Pacific coast had met a union
committee and offered to sign the
new agreement.
Local chapters in many cities have
wired President Mackay of the postal
company urging him to sign the new
agreement before the strike" said
President Konenkamp
No notice of a walkout of tele-
graphers In Richmond had been re-
ceived by NJ. A. Ryan, manager Of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
late this afternoon However, Mr..
Ryan stated that If strike occurred
in Indianapolis, Richmond would be
directly affected, as the greater part
of the business goes through that city.
But Indianapolis telegraph men have
not as yet signified any intention of
striking, Mr.. Ryan said
