U. S. IS after
RENT PRoFlTEE /

Warrington, Jan. 18.-Through the
collection of taxes Of 1919 incomes the
first step in which will be taken to-
morrow, the government will wage war
on profiteering landlords with "sweet
revenge'' in prospect for "the tenant
who has had to dig deep into his earn
ings to pay a high rental in 1919"
First intimation of this now aspect
came tonight in an announcement by
Daniel G. Roper, commissioner of the
bureau of internal revenue, that forms
for making income tax returns which
will be in the hands Of all internal
revenue collectors and ready for dis
tribution tomorrow will contain a ssc-
tion providing that tenants shall in
clude in their statements the amounts
Of rents paid and to whom it was paid.
This information will be turned over
to the department of justice to be used.
in its high cost of living campaign.
"The tenants are doing the driving
and holdig the whip" Mr.. Roper said,
"Profteer landlords will be held to
the straight and narrow path in the
payment Of their income taxes. Re-
venge is sweet to the tenant who has
had to dig deep into his earnings to
pay a high rental in 1919. Gathering
his family around him he takes his
scratchy pen in hand and with the
last drop of ink in the bottle informs
the commissioner of internal revenue
that he, Bill Brown, of the Hallroom
apartments, paid John Smith, 10 Pro.
fiteer avenue, $1,000 fer his tnree-room
flat in 1919.
"By gathering these reports from
all the Bill Browns who are running
themselves ragged to pay their rent,
the internal revenue bureau will have
all of the information needed to see
that the profiteer John Smiths pay
proper tax or face prosecution.
While the work of collecting the
iaesms-taxss- will -be just ~ heavy thi,
year as it was in 1919 the government
will receive less revenue. Instead IT
collecting per cent on incomes be-
tween $1,000 and 1900 from married
persons, as done last year, only per-
cent will be collected this time. Single
persons will get an exemption Of
$1,000 as was provided under the pre-
vious revenue law. Incomes above
$4,000, the normal tax will be per
cent instead Of IL per cent, as last
year. But the surtax begins operation
at $4,000 and continues upward until
the government will assess so per cent
of annual incomes above 100000.
thermal revenue officials will seui
income tax forms to all persons who
paid taxes last year. Others who are
taxable must apply to the collectors
for them Mr.. Roper warned that there
would be answering enforcement of
the revenue laws and that punishment
will be meted out and penalties appli-
ed without fear or favor" this year,
since all persons should be familiar
with tho law by this time.
Returns and at least one-fourth of
the amount due must be in the hands
Of internal revenue collectors by March

AMTI-6HDITION ELL

A1GTI-6RDITIoN BIIL
Washington, jan, 1S.-Formal an
nouncement that the American Feder-
alton of Labor would oppose "with
whatever power it may possess,'' the
enactment of the ant1sedition bills
now pending in congress, was made
today in a statement issued by Samuel
Gompers, presidet Of the federation.
The attack of organized labor, its
chieftain indicated, will be directed
impartially against the Sterling bill
recently passed by the senate and
against the Graham measure, based
on suggestions of Attorney General
Palmer and awaiting action by the
house rules committee for a special
rule to expedite consideration.
Referring to the two measures as
one bill, President Gompers declared
its enactment "would violate the con
stitution and rob the whole American
people of their most cherished and bas-
ic guarantees of free government"
eff the American people and, in
fact, majority of the members of
congress-" Mr.. Gompers asserted,
"were awake to the dangers concealed
in this bill storm of indignation
would sweep the nation.
"It has been widely advertised that
this measure protects free speech full
ly, but prevents advocacy of forcible
revolution, Bolshevism and anarchy.
In fact it would perpetrate an auto
cratic censorship over the entire Am
erican press It can be used to kill
free speech and free assembly. It
strikes a deadly blow at legitimate or
CARNATIONS of labor or any other pro-
gressive movement for the bettermert
Of the masses which may be opposed
by the advocates of privilege and re-
action.
eve yield t. 20 man in public Of
flee or out in our loyalty to the con-
stitution and institutions of this re-
public; no self-respecting man has
questioned OF dare question that loyal
ty. We are for evolution, not for rev.
olution; for ballots, not bullets; for
a majority rule, not class dictatorship
of Bolshevism, plutocraey OF Of the
"We oppose this bill because evory
legitimate purpose for which it is
framed is already covered by existing
law. Its illegitimate features which
compose two-thirds of the draft arc
utterly autocratic, imperialistic and
un-American.'
Referring to "Attorney General
Palmer's contention that new laws are
necessary to reach the individual who
advocates opposition to the govern
ment by violence" Mr.. Gompers cited
section 4 of the penal code, and asked:
"If revolution is afoot, why has not
the department of justice made pros.
ecutions under that section!
"section of the bill, unbelievable
as it may seem," he continued, "may
be easily construed to mean it, indeed,
it does not make it, crime SO vague
and involved is the terminoloRy to
wear in public any button Of an or.
ganization whose purpose it is to Sc
cure amendment to the constitution
of the United States or any existing
federal law.
"section 8 perpetuates the censor
ship of the postmaster general over all
newspapers and printed matter. The
so-called Borah amendment, providing
3 court review of the postmaster gen
erals action, is sound in principle but
is inadequate to afford protection Is
practical matter to publisher
against the autocratic action Of the
postmaster general

The Bracken Review says:

"On Monday Mr.. Charles Orme, Of
near Germantown. was Oh trial for
violation of the compulsory attend
ance law. 1t was the first casetbefore
Judge Ernest U. Dodson and he made
a very favorable impression.
"Mr. Orme was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Gibson on a warrant sworn
out by County Attendance Office Silas
Jacobs. He was charged with failure
to send his daughter, Bessie, to school.
MIR. Orme came into court and
plead extenuating circumstances but
they were not sufficient to satisfy the
court and a fine of five dollars and
costs was assessed against him. The
fine was suspended upon promise Of
Mr. Orme Immediately to comply with
the law.
This was the first court case in
the county under the new law and it
shows that the law can and will be
enforced.
This should stand as a warning to
all offenders and every good man and

WARRANTS ISSUED
IN THE CUTTING
SCRAPE SUNDAY
Finable Offense Is Charged Against
Brothers Following Investigation
Of POlice-Warrants Issued
On Information.

Warrants were issued in Police
Court this afternoon charging George
and Arthur Dale, brothers, with as
sault with deadly weapon. These
warrants were issued following the in
vestigation made during the past sew
eral days by the local police into the
fracus in which Edward Archibald
was cut on Sunday evening. No affi-
davit could be obtained by the police.
The offennse for which the war
rants are issued is not felony and Is
punishable by fine. 1t was at first
thought that the matter would be al
lowed to go to the grand jury but later
the police chose to issue warrants for
the lesser offense.
Although the case has not been set,
awaiting progress of Mr.. Archibald,
the injured man, it Is likely that 1t
will be called ON next Friday after
noon in city court.
