TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

The man or woman whose income is from salary or wages has several things to consider in making out his or her incoIne-tax return. The full amount received for personal services must be returned as gross income. Direct expenses incurred in earning his compensation, however, are allow able deductions. For example, a trav- cling man selling on commission may deduct his railroad fare and amounts paid for hire of vehicles in calling on his customers as business expense but not his hotel board, which is a personal or living expense.
 Salaries must be reported as income for the year in which they are re- ceived, regardless Of when they are earned. Thus, a man who is paid on the 5th of the month and received his salary for the month of December; 1918, on January 5, 1919, will include the amount in his return for 1919. His salary for December 1919, which is not received until January 5, 1920 need not be included in his 1919 in come, although 1t was entirely earned l during that year.
 Bonuses Must Be Reported. A salary or commission credited tc an account and subject to Withdrawa must be included as income. Bonuses or any form of profit sharing must bt 1 included, since they are additional
 compensation for services. A Christ mas gift, or other present from al employer is not taxable.
 Compensation for personal services
 may be paid for partly in cash an6
 partly in board and lodging. In thil 1 event, a fair value must be placed up.

SEEKING THE FACTS.

If there is a clash between Secre- tafy Glass of The treasury department snd Herbert Hoover regarding the credits that ought to be given to Flu rope in order to meet the needs that {. exist there it viii probably be brought put in the hearing before the house ways and means committee which is Investigating tFe re contradictions of the secretary. favorable to giving f. hancial aid.
 That of course is the thing to do. It should be known before action is taken whether there is actual need Of this country advancing money when ever called for and whatever the Emount. When humanity is dying from starvation CT disease there can he little hesitation. Help at such a time is worth mere than twice as much later on but it cannot fail to be recognized that when called uton to Fhell out money for Europe we ought 10 know pretty rear what we are do- ing and that it is really needed.
 NIT. Hoover has looked pretty we'll Into conditions as they exist in Eu- hopean countries. He has undtestion- ably sized hp the situation during his stay abroad 50 that no wild asser- tiens sfould come frcin him for the purpose of plac+ng obstacles in the path of needed help. It can hardly be believed that he would make the statement he has, even as a stepping stone to political preferment which some claim to see in his latest utter snce. unless he was sincere in that belief.
 But whatever fine facts In the case are they should be established. The calling before the house committee oi Secretary Glass and Mfr. Hoover Rmong others who can shed light up- un the situation. ought to straighter nut any tangle that exists. In view o' what he has said MT Hoover is prob ably ready to back up his statements He believes in a certain amount ot help for certain sections of Europe but he also believes that Europe should get busy on its own problems

at the same time brought about a curtailnlent in production at the very time when the country was crying for it. It has brought out the recognition uf the need of immediate Afneficaf1i- zation work on a large scale and it showed that the treaty of employees by industry had been such that wages had been kept well abreast Of the high cost of living if not above.
 There were several instances where force was attempted CT threatened but they were in decided contrast to some instances where lives had been taken and property destroyed. That the qdieting influences of the army were sought was due to the nienaciHs attitude of a certain element that was determined to win by any means nec- essary. The official calling off of the strike should have taken place some time ago but now that it has come efforts should be bent te making up for lost time rather than planning for more trouble.

piREcroR HINES, lpEAs.

From time to time Director General Hines of the railroad administration has had not a little to say regarding the roads and their return to their owners. He is an old railroad man and as such was picked to run the roads for the government and it is natural that he should be in a posi- ton to present enc side of the case regarding the railroads in an intel ligent and comprehensive manner. MT. Hines recognizes the importance of dealing with the roads in an honest and satisfactory manner, he doesn't uphold any particular plan but he has ideas whieh endorse some of the fea-- lures advocated and others which run contrary thereto. He believes that the roads should be returned in such condition that the situation which will follow the return to the owners will not leave them ir a state that will be unjust to all, a condition that might result in greater demand than has been made for government opera tion, in spite of all the opposition thereto. .s
 In MT. Hines opinion there should be fewer systems made possible by consolidation, that the rate provisions should insure a fair return en capital everywhere. that earnings in excess of fs ir returns should be held against bad years and that the owners, the public and labor should be represent ed on the board in control of the sys- tems. He thus puts forth the idea that the policy of big business is one that should be applied to the railroads. and he also clearly set forth in his state ment that increases in freight and passenger rates must follow the re- turn to the owners.
 Having been through the mill he understands the difficulties under which he has worked and yet looks upon the course followed under con- ditions as they existed as justified. His ideas will receive favor or not ae- cording to where they land.

nEMocRArIc DIVISION.

The Jackson day dinner of the dem oerats has shown that there is a well defined division of opinion on the hnestien of the treaty, that the dn- yielding attitude of the president is not supported by party leaders, that early ratification is desired and that sentiment IS apparently as strong for it's ratification with reservations if it cannot be accomplished otherwise.
 President Wilson according to his message stands right where he has been standing The refusal to ratify the treaty as it came from France and the desire of many democratic sena- tors to compromise have had no effect and in spite of urging early action he tavors submitting the questior to the people which would mean a delay of over year and then even the demo- crats will admit there is no certainty shat would ratify it. In what MT. Hoover has called his presidents stubborn attitude on the treaty the president has been giving aid and comfort to the bitter enders; in the urging of the submission of the mat ter to the people he approves the sus- gestion of Senator Lodge and he urges action that is against the sentiment of many of the democratic senators.
 That William Jennings Bryan has rot entirely lost influence in demo- crs lie circles is indicated by tha re- eeption hs received. He is directly opposed to the presidents suggestion. He points out that the desire for rat fficaton without reservation 'has been re5ected and we must face the situa . iron as it is" He saws that the party cannot go before the people on sucl an issue and that It should join in an honest effort tu end war forever at the earliest possible moment That can mot be very pleasing to the president or me national committee that. flas endorsed his stand out it is right in line with she view of former Ambas- Sader Gecard, a candidate for demo cratic honors. who urged that Q com promise be effected and peace given tc he world while Senators Pomerehe and Hitchcock showed their leaning that way. Mir. Bryan displays req son. the president the whiphand.
 The Jackson day revelations car tardly be looked upon with joy by the democrats. There is a split among he leaders second only to that among the former supporters.

AMERICAN AID TO ARMENIA WITHOUT A MANDATE

state duly recognized by our State Department. we extend aid and pro teetien, tl,an, I say, if the Turks az gress aga teach them as the men of Succoth re taught. It Is the only
 lesson they deserve or have the wit to comprehend.
 Finally, the argument for our taking on the near east is based entirely oh bhilanthropie grounds. If it wins out, 1t will be because it appeals to Ameri- cans determined to restore her rights to stricken Armenia. Hence it Is gross fallacy to reason, as some do, that because the Turks, by massacre and deportation, have eliminated the AInenians as a present factor In cer- tain provinces, therefore those prov
 inees must not be included in New Armenia. That would be to effeetuate the very purpose the Turks have pur- sued all along. Shall the United States pull Turkish chestnuts from

 The date of Christs birth is but the, half way point in Maltese chron- ology. Since it's recorded history be- gan ten nations have held sway over the coveted islands, beginning with the Phoeiiieians of -Paufs time, and running a scale of Greeks, Carthagin- ians, Romans, Gotfs, Arabs, Germans, Spaniafds, and French until the pres eTt sovereignty of the British.
 Tt has Been said that Malta's local chronicle holds. in nicrocosm. the history of Europe, and that it's erch- eologfcal remains each step in west ern civilization
 But Malta was an actor. as well as a librarian of historic drama Lit erally she became the savior of the western world when the Knights oi Malta beat back the Turkish hordes during the famous siege of 1865. The alien Knights, along with native Nal tese, kept the bltghting hand of Mos lem from crushing the lands which festered those infant ideals of freedom which now are reflected in England's concession.
 tThe thrills of that siege and the heroism displayed are unsurpassed. Of the 5000 Maltese who fought witt 1 the Knights, practically ali were kill. i cd.

END OF STEEL STRIKE.

Whether or not any influence was brought to bear upon it by the recent announcement to the effect that the radical influences were at work in this country to get control of labor organ fzstions and that they played their part in staging the steel and coal strikes with the idea of having a gen. feral strike declared throughout the country. the steel strike has been called of.
 z Although 1t has long since proved a 1aflure, and was so admitted weeks ago by Leader Fitzpatrick who attrib- uteA its less to the army, the action taken at this lime must come as a surprise to many in view of the re- cent declaration of ". zr Foster that the outlook was promising, that fl would not be abandoned and that suc- cess was in sight.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Jacksonian Love Feast.


 Mr. Editor: A few months ago when Mir. Bryan came to Norwich to deliver a lecture, heavy rain storm prevail ing at. the time. member Of the re- ception committee. said in welcoming MT. Bryan, You are one of the dryS coming in out Of the wet"
 MT Bryan responded at once, Y know enough to come in out of the wet"
 It. is evident that Mir. Bryan, al- though oft defeated. still retains some good political sense and gave the world some very significant ideas with re- gard to the so-calIed league of na- tions last night at the twin ban auets of the would-be democratic Jacksonian demonstrations where SC many still-Lssn candidates for the presidency have Aaen placed in the democratic nausoleun.
 Mir. Bryan has given abundant prooi that he knows enough to come in out of the vet and is fully justified ir saying that "the republican majority in the senate can. by right. dictate the senate's course" with regard tc the league of nations.
 Mr. Bryan accepts the course Of the senate MT Wilson has ignored tht senate in the past and does now. af we'll as everybody else. except few henchmen, who come when he says come, and go when he says go. The senate are within their righ when they say that they will ratify part of the league of nations; rath- CT than the whole; or reject the whole if it is for the best interests o. America for them to do so, or in othe words, they will accept the league 0 nations with certain reservations tha protect the American people. | For the league of nations, with tn Lodge reservations, as a part of tn treaty. ~ | Norwich, January g, 1920

A MOVE AGAINST pRYs.

Evidence that the governor of New York is playing politics for the pur- pose of getting on the right side of the wet vote is furnished in his mes sage to the legislature of that state in asking that the vote on the prohibit ton amendment be reseinded. How ever much it may have surprised New York and the country when the Empire state ratified the amendment it could have been no greater than that displayed over this thirteenth hour attempt to knock it out The governor urges that the question should be submitted to the people rather than the legislature. On this there are a great many people who Will agree with him but it is a fact nevertheless that it is provided in the Constitution that it shall be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states without any reference-te a referendum. The New York state leg islature has acted in accord with the requirements. It has ratified the amendment which will become effee- tive next Friday and it has not a chance to act upon the notification of the amendment.
 The governor says that he cannot understand why the people should not have a chance to vote on questions in- terfering with their personal liberty and many will agree with him on that but such question should go to all the states in the same way. Al states should ratify by legislatures or by referendum, not part one way and part the other and until the law is changed it is action by legislatures that is called for
 Governor Smith has seen chance to make an appeal and embarrass those opposing but there is reason tc doubt if hls proposition will make any beadEay.
