INCOME TAX.

December 15h is the last day for
the payment of the fourth INSTALL
ment of the income tax and excess
profit taxes due this year. To avoid
penalty, the tax must be in the Of
fices OF Collectors of Internal Rev
enue or branch offices by midnight
OF that date.
Inquiries reaching the Commis-
Gioner of Internal Revenue indicate
a belief that taxpayers have ten days
grace on this installment, Such
provision was contained in the
1917 Revenue Act, but was removed
by the Revenue Act of 1918.
Payment OF the fourth Install
ment may be made in cash or by
money order or check. The Bureau
of Internal Revenue urges that when
ever possible payment be made by
check or money order. This meth
cd helps the taxpayer by saving him
a trip to the Collectors Office and
avoids congestion at the Cashier s
window. Check or money order
should be made payable to "Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue
Bills will be sent to taxpayers
but failure to receive bill does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obliga-
tion to pay on time"

COX STUPIDITY

Getting desperate in not being able
to convince people that his yell about
the republican campaign fund is not
taken seriously especially since he
heard from Maine and other interest
ing spots where elections have been
held, Gov. Cox is trying a new roor-
bach. He now says that the profiteers
are being hielded by the republicans.
We wonder if Cox has overlooked the
fact that for the past eight years we
have had democratic government
functioning with all the powers allow
ed by the constitution. We wonder il
Cox has overlooked the fact that the
department of justice, with that great
profiteer chaser, A. Mitchell Palmer,
is under democratic sovereignty and
that il there are any republicans who
are shielding profteers it is the duty
OF A. Mitchell Palmer and his corps
of well fed and over paid officials to
get busy and prosecute. If there are
any proiteers at this time they have
been created while the democratic
party has been in power and right un-
der the shadow Of the windows of the
department of justice. Such foolish
ness on the pat Of Mr.. Cox is not
getting him anywhere. To show how
the voters Of the country feel about
it here is poll Of two strong demo-
cratic districts recently taken which
how that Gov. Cox is losing ground
steadily:

The State Normal school will open
up next Tuesday for the fall term and
it is expected there will be a~large and
increased attendance this year. In this
connection it will not be out of place
for US to say that President Allen is
starting his third year as head Of this
big educational institution. Mr.. Allen
has made very fine record and has
met with excellent success. The school
is growing daily and the president and
his faculty are getting along very
nicely and tremendously. Not only
that but Mr.. Allen and family have
been very acceptable additions to our
city and its social and business life
and we might as we'll add that
we are all glad they are with us. The
president has shown fine executive
ability and his work has been to build
up good institution and he is sue
ceeding admirably. The Times Rec
ord is pleased to know that these
conditions exist at the Normal school,
which is one of the greatest assets we
could possibly have and which is also
credit to this as well as it would be
to any state. The Normal school has
done great work here and we want
to see it continue to grow.

The state has won notable victory
through William Lemke in regard to
increased passenger rates in the state
as put into effect September first by
order of the railroad commissioners.
The supreme court handed down a de-
cision yesterday sustaining the dis
trict court decision restraining the
railroads from charging the increased
rates and those who have bought
tickets paying the increased price
must be refunded if they can show re-
ceipts for the ticket purchased. The
victory is not such a sweeping one
as the Fargo Courier News would
have you believe, however, and there
IS no question but what the railroads
will finally be allowed the increased
rates. The decision of the supreme
court is based on the fact that proper
procedure was not taken by the rail
board and that is what the decision is
based on However, thanks to the
blunder Of the railroad commissioners,
who did not go at it the right way, we
shall be favored with the old passen-
ger rates until such time as the rail-
road commissioners get together and
properly put over an order in the cor
rect manner required by the courts.
Mr.. Lemke is entitled to credit for
saving this much but he is entitled to
no halo for services performed thru
the blunders of his own league rail-
road commissioners. We will get
those increased rates in due time just
the same.

The Courier News says that Gov.
Cox, of Ohio, has never done a thing
to stop profiteering in his state, al
though he is going around the coun-
try telling the people that if he is
elected president he will put stop
to profiteering. All the politicians
say the same thing before they get
elected but they forget what they
promised after they are elected. The
Fargo league paper says that there
is one governor who has tried to stop
profiteering and that is Gov. Frazier.
The people would be very much inter-
ested to know how and when our gov
ernor ever hit profteering a slap or
in fact has done anything to stop pro-
fiteering. Most of the time he is out
of the state talking his head off for
the socialist ticket.

Willie Murphy rushes into print to-
day to take the editor to task about
what he said about insolvency re-
Gently. Willie does not read right and
only saw what he thought was slap
at Irish home rule. The editor of this
paper is, and always has been, a
staunch advocate of home rule, but he
has never been, nor never will be, an
advocate of treason against the gov
ernment-whether it be by an Irish
man or any other man. We expressed
70 views on Irish home rule at all
and only expressed our views to the
effect that insolvency had been guilty
Of treason to his government and as
such should take his medicine like a
man and if he wanted to die starving
himself that was up to him. Until
home rule has been granted Ireland
McSweeney and every other man liv-
ing under the government now exist
ing in that country is amenable to
the laws of that country. It is just
such actions Of radicals as McSweeney
that is causing all this Bolshevism in
the world. What would Murphy think
of the editor of this paper if he hap
pened to get hold of state secrets and
plans during the war and had given
them to Germany. He would be the
first one to grab a rope and come over
to hang US to telegraph pole.
