THIS TELLS HOW TO
FIGURE INCOME TAX
Squarely Up to Every Individual
to Get Busy by March 10
or Suffer Penalty.

'Don't wait until the final due DATE,
March 18th, for paying your income
Tax and making your return. AVOID
the last minute rush. Any person can
figure out his liability today as well as
he can next week, and If there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get in touch with Revenue man.
This word of advice is being given
out by Internal Revenue men. Re
turns and payments are being col
lected in New Jersey by the following
Collectors of Internal Revenue:
Samuel Iredell.
Charles V. Duffy.
Every aid of their offices and field
forces is being given freely to the
public.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your coat-tatls,
according to the Collectors announce
ment. 1t is squarely up to every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy If he comes within the
scope Of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Much?
Every unmarried person who re-
ceiyed income averaging S19.25 week
during 1918 and every married couple
who jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank blank Form 104O A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the Government.
The law requires that every unmar-
ried person who had net income Of
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was $1,000 or
over Gncluding the income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, if any must make return
on or before March 10Th. And this re-
auirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes tax.
Taxable Income.
An individual must include under
gross income all gains, profits and in
come derived from salaries, wages or
compensation for personal service Of
Whatever hlllu anu III MllaNCNCA AOA LII
paid or from professions, vacations,
business, sales or dealings in property
of all kinds, interest, rent, dividends
or profits derived from any source
whatever. Very few items of income
are exempt.
Deductions include ordinary and nee
essary business expenses, interest paid
or accrued on Indebtedness, taxes of
all kinds except Federal income and
excess profits taxes and assessments
for local benefits, losses actually sus-
tanned, debts ascertained to be worth
less and depreciation on buildings, ma
chinery, fixtures, ETC., used in business.
A further deduction is allowed for con-
tributions to corporations operated for
religious, charitable, scientific or edu-
cational purposes or for the prevention
of cruelty to children or animals to an
amount not exceeding 10 per cent OF
the taxpayers net income as computed

Politics and HairdressInu.

In ancient civilizations q distinctive
style of hairdressing had sometimes
had its origin in politics, as for i'm
stance the pigtail imposed on the Chi

soldier class of old Japan shaved their
heads except for a topknot Of hair.
Absolom, so far as his long hair goes,
has had many imitators, some Of
whom tied it with ribbon like school

wearers and their enemies, the Crop

FAV0RS PEACE
 IN PACIFIC ON '0UR OWN TERMS
A. E. F. Chief of Staff Wants Army of Not Over
 100000.

Washington, Sept. 22.-America's $ future military policy, as advocated today before the house military con- mittee by Mai. Gen. M. J. McAndrew chief of staff of the American ex- peditionary force. throughout the war, should call for ''peace on the Pacific on our own terms" This he said, can be assured by control of the Panama Canal and the Hawiian Islands.
 General McAndrew took issue with the general staff's organization plan on the basis of an army of 5O9,- 900 men, proposing instead force of 100000 at the utmost"
 While ioinino' with the general staff in advocating universal training for 19-year-old youths, General Me Andrew disagreed with it's proposed three months period of training, de- claring it was Inadequate" and should be at least six months.
 General McAndrew recommended the skeleton of 21 divisions. A field army of 1,25O,O0O men, as approved by the general staff, he approved. but he suggested that these divisions, with the exception of four, be skele- toniZed to six or seven thousand men, instead of a larger number as pro- posed by the war department. He also agreed with the department plan for "top-heavy" officers personnel, explaining these were needed for uni versal training
 The peace-time army of 100000 men, General McAndrew said, should be distributed with one complete di- vision at the Panama Canal, another at Hawaii, another with additional troops, if necessary, along the Mex ican border, small forces in the Phil ippines and Alaska and the remain der at home for coast defense and training.
 By all means" he asserted, "we must safeguard Hawaii. Its loss in time of War would put Japan or any combination of powers on the flank of our communications to Asia and the Philippines. It is likely that in any war in the Pacific we might not at first have the preponderance of naval strength and the army must maintain the islands until reinforce ments are brought from the Atlantic fleet by way of the Canal. With one division and the shore batteries, we could keep a navy off for some time because of the few landing places.'

0CCUP ATI0N TAX
 IS FAVORED BY CITY COMMITTEES
Further Investigation is Order ed With Probability of
 Enactment.
USE PROCEEDS ONLY
 FOR SINKING FUND
Such is Suggestion of w. F. Coleman That Some of Richest Gil Izens Would Be Exempt
 is Admitted.

That the so-called occupation tax, system of city taxation levyinG an annual revenue on all business and professional interests, is the only plan by which the city can raise more revenue to take care of the outstanding indebtedness, seemed to be the opinion of the members of eight committees appointed by the heads of that number of civic orga- nizations who met at the Chamber of Commerce assembly hall yester- day afternoon in response to call by Mayor M. C. Hollis who request ed their presence for the purpose of devising plan for lghtenina the financial burden under which the city is at present laboring.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Hollis who then asked that permanent organization be formed by the election of an permanent chairman and a permanent secretary. After some discussion, Mayor Hollis was elected permanent chairman and A. R. Cooper, city attorney, was elected permanent secretary. Neither Mr. Hollis nor Mir. Cooper desired to serve in the capacity in which they were elected, both stating the committee was representative gathering of citizens, and should not be officered by city officials. Their objections were overruled by ex- pressons from the committee
 Large Deficit.
 In stating the object of the gath , erng, Mayor Hollis gave brief summary of the financial condition of the city. He said the receipts of last year were $74.000 and that the expenditures were $89,000, leaving a deficit of $14,000. He said further that warrant for $50,000 was more than a year due. This would come | due again, he said at the first of l the year. In addition to this, there are other warrants due somewhere in the sum of $180,000. Under the present system of gaining revenue. he said, the city could never pay these debts.
 The object of the meeting, he then said, was to devise some plan for raising more revenue in order to create sinking fund to gradually pay these outstanding debts.
 Pine Bluff was in similar fin ancial condition, Mayor Hollis said, to that of the majority of Arkansas cities, but that Pine Bluffs condi- tion was even better than the great CT number. He brought up the ques- tion of the occupation tax. and said the city council was not disposed to levy such a tax except in the event it proved necessary asc last re- sort. Members of the committee then gave expression of opinion con- corning the tax, and the prevalent opinion was that Pine Bluff will have to adopt this form of raising ad- ditional revenue. It was agreed that in the near futre, the state legisla- ture might devise some means for cities of the state to increase their revenue, but that the need now was immediate action.

Oklahoma Police Driven From Town;
 Chief Disarmed

Outright, Oklahma. Sept. 22. A mob took control of Dum- right late tonight following demonstration in connection with a strike of telephone opera tors. during which the members of the police force were driven from town and the chief of police disarmed and threatened with death unless he resigned his of flee.
 Three young women operators who refused to join the strike are held prisoners at the tele phone company's plant by the mob.
 The trouble is said to have been the outcome of the club ping of a picket by policeman this morning.
 More than 100 shots have been fired by rioters here since midnight. The shooting. it is believed, is to terrorize the citi- Zens.
 Mayor J. w. Nicodemus, who had been missing all day, was located during the night by the mob and was placed in the city jail with B. Baxter, council man and Jack Ayers, chief of po- lice. The mob has issued an untimatum that unless the the three city officials tendertheir resignations by 10 o'clock Tues day morning, they will be lynch ed.

MORGAN PRAISES CARY'S STAND ON
 THE OPEN SHOP
Steel Chief Refuses To Make Statement for Publica-
 ton.

New York, Sept. 22.-No comment whatever on the strike which began today in the steel and iron industry, was forthcoming from the headquart- CTS here of the United States Steel Corporation. Ebert H. Gray, chair man of the board of directors, de- clared both in the morning and in the afternoon that he had nothing to say for publication about the strike or the company's plans for meeting it. Twice during the day he met newspaper men and chatted pleasant ly with them but declined positively to be quoted except to the effect that there was nothing be could say.
 It was learned, however, that he had received many messages of feli- citation upon his firm stand against the "closed shop" although he did not tell who sent them. One mes sage, however, came from J. Pier pont Morgan, who is now in London.
 "Heartiest congratulations on your stand for the open shop, with which, as you know, l am absolutely in ac- cord" the cable message said. "I believe the American principle of liberty deeply involved and must win out if we all stand firm"
 Frequent reports were received at the steel corporations offices from the 145 plants in 20 states involved in the strike, but no estimate was made of the number of men who failed to report for work. It was in- dicated that the success of the strike could not be dtermined definitely un- til it was known how many men of the night shifts had joined the walk out.

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 22.- Mrs. D. R. Williams. l115 Monroe avenue, wished to rid her home of mice. She bor- rowed neighbours cat. To show the feline that it would be we'll treated, Mrs. Williams set before the cat bountiful supply of milk.

 If this was a multi-life cat it had been in trouble before, for one charge from a police mans shotgun put an end to it's life.
