WEAK IN AIR AT THE START
Great Britain Had but Four Squad.
rons of AirpIanes, but Made
Rapid Strides. ~

London.-The declaration of war by
Great Britain at midnight, August S,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four squadrons in being
representing we'll under 100 airplanes.
Three of these squadrons went instant
ly to France. A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while fifth squadron mobilized
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting zone about the middle of Sep
tember. ~
In those early days of the war ma.
chimes were used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. 1t was not until after
the battle of the Aisne, when settled
lines Of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were practiced and de-
leloped.

Forms are being distributed by Couec-
tors and their Deputies, also by banks
BY following the instructions ON tile
forms correct return can be prepared

aid, the Deputy Collectors in the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In

is sending its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re-
turns in. With active cooperation
every tax due March Is will be paid
and every return required by law will
be in the Revenue offices on time.
Exemptions Allowed.
A single person is allowed per-
sonal exemption of 81 1000. If he is sup
porting in his household relatives who
are dependent upon him he may claim
the status of the head of a family who
has the same exemption as if married.
A married person who lives with
wife or husband is allowed a personal
exemption Of $4,000. The head of
family Is entitled to claim similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption of 5000 is
allowed for each person under eight
cen or incapable Of self support who
was dependent upon and received his
chief support from the taxpayer.
A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex-
emption Of $1,000. If they make sepa-
rate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy is necessary in
making up income figures. ANY per-
son who Is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank interest, bond interest, dividends,
rents received and all other items
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper ad-
ministration of the law.

A Real Cure For BOlsheViSm
A Chinaman Says They Have Found It in His Country
The real cure for Bolshevism has been found

The real cure for Bolshevism has been found.
While the world hunting for it, it right under
Its nose
The oldest country the world has had for centuries
and it has always worked.
Lou Fseng Tsang who has just visited London to
Hey the good wishes of his president King George found
England much stirred up the unrest of the people and
the possibility that Bolshevism would get foothold.
So impressed the Chinese official with the situation
that when he interviewed he made the matter subject
of extended comment.
Boiled down to few words this is what he said:
cit is most improbable that Bolshevism will ever
get foothold in China If it does come, it will not
stay, for it will not take root in soil that will not sup
port it.. There two why it thrive
my country: First, the national religion, Confucian-
ISM insts subordnation to and respect for the elder
wiser Second there peasants but big land
lords in China. THE PEASANTS OWN THEIR
FARMS, so THE COMMON PEOPLE WILL OPPOSE
IT AS MUCH AS THE RICH"
There you have the real cure-the ownership of prop
'erty by the common people.
The greatest force for Boshevsm in Russia is that the
peasants have no land and get none
The guarantee in this country that Bolshevism will
thrive here is the great percentage of Americans who
own their homes.
Good real estate never decays never burns up
wears out
Wall Street cannot play with it.
The burglar cannot carry it away with him.
Buy some good real estate
If you have enough money to start it, build home

Commissioner Kutz Has a Plan to
Insure a FIVE-CENT Car Fare
By EARL GOODWIN.
1t Should Have a Try-Out.

Commissioner Kutz has a street railway plan which
deserves tTy-out.
He believes that if the Government should take the
street railway tracks and OWN hem leasing their to
the street companies Washington would not only keep
its carare at nickel lower but would also enjoy the
hneeded street railway extension and improvement that
has been retarding the cty's growth.
All this city wants is fve-cent carfare and PLENTY
of good car service
People who give their streets to street corpo
raons certainly have the right to ask for that combination
However, under the weeds which grow in the garden
of private ownership service and equitable carare
times wither and die
Commissioner Kutz is aware that the car companies
will not extend their rackage and not repair
ing the streets between the tracks rapidly the paving
wears out.
They say they haven't the money.
If the OWNERSHIP of the peoples streets is a hin
drance then let the roads give back the Streets sell the
track and underground electrical equipment to the city and
then their leased tracks-subct to service
ditions laid down by the Public Utilities Commission
The Government would buy the tracks, extend the lines
in all directions where the development of the Capital
ranted and the companies would get the Of the
territory and the business without the liability Of
ing and maintaining expensive railroad tracks and equip
ment. -
And the passengers would pay only five cents or LESS
which is the correct thing
This plan of Commissioner Kutz doubt, is entirely
too progressive for SOME, but it deserves try-out
P S-ANYTHING that wH insure fpscsnt fare is worth
Investigating
