Compulsory Military Training.

Another Prussianized propos-
al" has found expression at
Washington in the Senate Army
Reorganization Bill, declares the
Pittsburg Sun. Other newspa-
pers call it "militarism run
mad" and declare that the bill,
with its compulsory military
training provision, will cost the
taxpayers of the country more
than a billion dollars annually.
The bill specifically declares that
the citizen army cannot be called
to the colors except in the event
of a declaration of war, and that
the total amount of training in a
total of five years shall be five
months. Four of the months
shall be served in one period
during the first year, when the
youth is between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-one, and
the other two maneuvers of two
weeks later on, when the youth
is classed as a reservist. These
short maneuver periods would
be spent near home, under Of
fcers who are resident in the
same area, we are assured by
Senator Wadsworth, who ex-
plains further that there will
be no compulsory service, but
simply compulsory training for
the period stated, word-twisters'
statements to the contrary not
withstanding." The Hous e
Committee on Military Affairs,
of which Congressman Kahn
Rep., Cal. ) is chairman, is at
work on another bill which also
provides for compulsory military
training, on which sentiment in
the Committee is said to be even
ly divided. If we are to take
the opinion of the Des Moines
Register as representing the

Democrats began taking back
statements made recently that
they would accept the Lodge
program at the last rather than
see the treaty fail. This was
because it has become evident
that there can be no modifica-
tons of the Lodge reservations,
even in the most minor instances.
The previous attitude was based
on assurances that a number of
acceptable changes would be
made.
As a conqeuence Democrats
are less hopeful of ratification
this evening than heretofore
At the same time. many Repub-
leans are more optimistic and
believe that with the assistance
of the Democrats the treaty may
be saved. Some even go to the
extent of declaring that they
are now short not to exceed five
or six Democratic votes to make
the sixty-four requisite for ap-
proval.

The Register:

The program of Senator Wads

adopt, and is enforced by pre-

iversal military training is a
scheme to Prussianize America,
and is promoted by men who
have always been converts to
the Prussian theory of the state.
The United States has always
had the Prussiau notion of the
army, has maintained Prussian
notions of military authority,

No Extra session Needed.

The news has been published
throughout the State, coming
from Frankfort, that there is
likely to be an extra session Of
the Legislature to provide means
to carry into effect the road pro-
gram, as laid out in the Moss
road measure, providing for g.
$50 miles of State Highways.
There should be no extra ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is an
expensive luxury. Kentucky
can do without. 1t is not consis-
tent with Gov. Morrow's promi.
ses of economy. If the money
necessary to carry out the big
road plan can be raised without
an ad valorum tax ir can be done
at this session of the Legislature,
gnd it should be done. Because
this Legislature has frittered
away half of its time in vaca-
tions or recesses is no justifica-
tan to put a burden of taxation
upon the people to pay for an ex-
ira session. Our solons ought
not to be rewarded for the waste
of time by giving them more pay
and that is what an extra session

How to Figure Income.

The best way to find out whether
one must file a return is to get Form
1O4OA and follow the Instructions
printed on it. That form will serve as
a reminder of every item Of income,
and if a return is due it tells how to
prepare and file it.
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, person may secure free
advice and aid from the nearest Inter
nal Revenue office.
Guesswork, estimates and other hit
or-uiss methods are barred when per
son is making out his Income Tax re-
turn. Accuracy and completeness must
be insisted upon. The return Is
sworn statement As such 1t must be
thorough and accurate.

must ascertain the actual compensation
received. Overtime, bonuses, shares in
the profits Of business, value Of quar-
tiers and board furnished by the en-
ployer and other items which are COM
pensations for services must be In

pensation may be paid in other forms
than in cash. A bonus paid in Liberty
Bonds is taxable at the market value
of the bonds. A note received in pay
ment for services is taxable income a
its face value, and the interest upOA
it Is also taxable.
Other Returns Due.

the United States must file a return

Corporations must file annual re-
turns on Form 1120.

ity are required to file returns In

tiyes moisten from time to time with
a sponge to keep frightened. They
beat on the under side Of the drum

little chips breaking off the sticks
all thef time and flying about. With
a slow, smonotonous chant at first, they
gradually work themselves into fren-
zied shout and loud, resonant teating
of the drums as the dance goes on.
While they dance the men are
stripped to the waist, but the women
wear their calico Mother Hubbards,"
or denim parkas. with cleaning
halo of wolverine about the face. The
dancing ceremony begins with a
muscle dance" by young boy. in.
which the men later join. after which
comes the ''woIf Dance" with more
energy and loud shouting. The women
then join in, one by one. with marvel
