every section of the bill which
might affect the income taxes be-
low 5000 the forms for these taxes

mission taxes. one change made
was affecting the tax on movies

LYNCHING REPORT

Negroes' Leader Infimates In
gratitude to Fighters.

IF that report is true all the Huns
are not in Germany by any means, and
the quicker we get rid Of those here the
better off we will be-" declared Col
William Hayward, speaking last nigh,
at the monthly meeting of the 'Repub-
lican County Committee.
The Colonel, who was commanding Of
icer OF the negro regiment formerly
known as the Fifteenth in the National
Guard. was referring to the recent re-
ports from Durant Miss, of the lynching
of negro girl charged with sending an
insulting letter to a white woman.
THE thought occurred to me-" he
added, that in view Of the sacrifices the
negro soldiers made in THIS war to make
the world safe for democracy 1t might
not be a bad idea to make the United
States safe for democracy"
Col. Hayward had not intended to
raiso the negro question, he said, but he
considered 1t one of the most serious
in the country. The French, with whom
his regiment was brigaded. he declared,
thought more OF whether a mans heart
was white or black than they did as to
his skin. IT was with shame that he
was forced TO acknowledge II was not
until they reached the French that they
found a feeling that a black boy could
suffer as much from a wound as a white
soldier.
The Colonel intimated that the true
story of the American Expeditionary
Force would soon come out.
II will say" he remarked in closing.
that not a thing happened during the
last four years. either preceding the war
or during mobilization or in France. that

Samuel S. Koenig. president OF the

qualification that a Republican Congress
was about TO assume command in Wash

be taken at once to resume orderly
government in this country. an end for
