Some may be brought before the

1t is we'll enough for large bust

The income tax law should be
amended. 1t is too far reaching and
works a hardship on the people of
small means.
The intentions OF the law are good,
but the expense OF enforcing collection
would be greater than the profits to
the government. The law should be
amended, fixing the minimum for
making returns at $4,000 instead Of
$4,000, as it now is.
There are but few merchants, bus
mess men OF farmers in the country
who do less than $4,000 worth Of bus
mess in the run of year. Five thou
sand dollars a year does not mean to-
day what it did when the income tax
law was passed. The high cost of
living has brought about a big change
in all lines of business, as well as
farming and stock raising. Many do
$4,000 worth of business who have no
book-keepers nor do they keep any rec
ord of their business to make returns
from.
At Oxford, for instance, last year
the departments report shows that
only fifty people receiving their mail
at Oxford post office made returns as
directed by law. But now how are
you going to know the amount of bus
mess done by the small merchants or
farmers who keep no record of their
sales or expenses To ascertain these
facts would require small army of
collectors auditors and government
agents. The fact that the honesty Of
the individual is relied on to a great
extent does not guarantee the govern

FLORIDA HAS SEVERAL
CLIMATES IT SEEMS

FIT. MYERS, Fla, Jan. "a, 1919
In spite of "war times" Florida from
! ope~eRd to the other is crowded with
tourists from every state in the Union.
It is siad by those who have made n
study of the subject that Florida has
three distinct climatic zones: The
northern, in which there is a notice
able difference in the seasons, and
where, in midwinter, there is a touch
of frost occasionally in the air, bring
ing a healthful tinge to the blood and
stimulating one to the keenest enjoy
ment of all active outdoor sports and
exercise. The middle OF semi-tropical
zone is more equal, the climate tie
ing very markedly affected by the III
fluence of the Gulf Stream. There IS
bracing, heaIthful tonic in the breez-
es which blow in from the salt water,
while the warmth of the atmosphere
and the prevailing sunshine causes tbs
section to be one of the most frequent
ed of the Florida climatic zones. Far
Their south is what is known as sub
tropical Florida. This section is
quite free of extremes of temperature
and entirely so of frost. The vege-
tation is wholly tropical and one feels
in atmosphere and surroundings the
gentle influence Of perpetual summer
air. These different climatic zones
constitute one of F1orida's great
charms, for it gives the tourist an
agreeable objective in his travels-io
find the climate best suited to his
needs Or desires. Wherever one gees
there is always brilliant sunshine, the
fragrance of flowers and the charm of
evergreen vegetation. The winter
rainfall is negligible and whatever
may have been the heat of the day, the
nights are always cool and delightful.
We find a good many Republicans
and some Democrats who continue to
find fault with Wilson. Whatever he
is supposed to favor they oppose, end
vice versa. They are up a tree. When
they can't find out just how he stands
on a proposition and when he happens
to favor some movement they have al
ready endorsed, they will change their
position rather than admit he could
possibly "get right"
It is easy enough to expotiate on
what you would do if you were pres
ident and what you would do prob
ably would be the best you could do;
and as President Wilson doubtless IS
doing the best he can, what's the oc-
casion for any further ifs
Are we not going to spend some real
Mexico weekly ledger., 1919-01-30

money in Audrain for good roads this
year? Why not submit a bond issue
to give the people a chance to pay for
permanent roads if they want to?
Audrain is not going to remain in the
mud always. Good hard roads should
make every farm in Audrain sell fer
five dollars more per acre.
What is being done about a mem
orial to the soldiers? Is that enter
prise to end in talk? We need motc
results and less small town" stuff
in Merico,if we are ever to have a city.
Every citizen of Mexico should belong
to the Chamber of Commerce and help
kill off the nasty little ~jealousies just
like they would kill snakes. That's inc
way to make a city. Broaden out
grow and prosper.
