 UP SOVEREIGNTY

 through the failure of the effort to
 secure permanent peace. Serious
 complications, the president felt,
 might result at an early date from
 failure of the league. The league
 is already in use, the president
 stated, through the reference of
 the questions on various subjects
 which have been referred to inter
 national commissions"
 Immigration Not Involved
 On the question of possible interfer- ence by the league with international domestic questions, such as immigra ton, the president told the members he did not regard such questions as being within the purview or jurisdic- ton of the league.
 Success of the league, the president was said to feel, rests upon the good will and good faith of the nations and not upon their potential power.
 Upon the moral force of the world the decrees of the league would de- pend, the president explained. He ex- pressed the opinion that if Germany had considered a week, or if she had known England would enter the war the great conflict would not have oc- cured.
 Discussion of the composition Of the league and executive council, the Mexican and Japanese problems with which the United States is concerned were reported to have been freely used as illustrations. In this connection, il was said that the president rejected the argument that American immigra- ton would be a question daterminable by the league.
 Inequality of Voting
 Questions regarding Great Britain five votes in the league and the possi- bility of the British empire acquir- ing more than one vote in the eXecu- tive council, elicited the statement that such a possibility was very remote as the four votes in the league, outside ot the five great powers, were demanded by the smaller nations. and that cleo tion would be made by the forty ol fifty nations comprising the league.
 The president was said to have given no indications as to his opinion re- garding when the peace treaty coulC be concluded, nor did he discuss hi. plans for the return trip to France other than to reiterate that he woulc leave Washington immediately aftei congress adjourned
 The dinner and discussion following afterwards in the east room were sait to have been marked with the greates cordiality and frankness The presl dent was frequently interrupted at hi! own request by questions.
 Request Not Important At the outset, he said too much i'm portance had been attached to his re. quest to defer debate in congress, anC said his purpose was merely to explair questions to those desiring to heal them.
 He then gave a description of tn, intricate methods of bringing together ! the representatives of all nations fol the formation of a league. and de clared he had found practically a uni. versal demand in Europe for a leagu, of nations. He said the people ther, ! had suffered so tremendously from tn,

Income Tax Problems

Jacksonville, Feb. 24.-(Special)-
With the passage of the new revenue
bill the problem of making out an in
come tax return for 1918 is presented
to millions Of taxpayers and Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue James M.
Cathcart for weeks has been prepar-
ing for the income tax drive now on
in Florida.
Last year the tax payer had to
keep in mind the provisions Of the
1916 and 1917 acts, both of which
were effective. This year he has on
ly one law to consider. The new rev,
enue bill, however, contains number
Of important changes, with which, in
order to comply fully with the law,
taxpayers must acquaint themselves.
Probably the most important
change affecting individuals Is the
rate, the exemptions of $1,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for married
persons and heads Of families remain.
ing the same as under the 1917 act.
The normal rate of tax under the new
act is per cent on the first $4,000 Ct
net income above the exemptions and
IL per cent on the remaining net in
come. This applies to every citizen
and resident Of the United States.
Alien non-residents Of the United
States having property here are taxed
On the income from that property to
the full IL per cent of the normal tax.
For 1919 and subsequent years the
rates are fixed at 4 and per cent re-
spectively. Under the 1917 act the
normal rate was 2 per cent on net in
come in excess Of the exemptions.
Under the 1916 act the normal rate
was 2 per cent on the net income of
single persons in excess Of $4,000 and
2 per cent on the net income Of mar
ried persons and heads of families in
excess of $4,000. The normal rate OF
tax on incomes in excess of the ex.
emptions provided for by the 1916 act,
therefore, was per cent.
The new bill provides an additional
exemption of 5000 for each person de.
pendent upon the taxpayer for chief
support, if such person is under
