TO USHER IN NEW Era.

Nineteen Hundred and Twenty is going to be the
great year of building of industrial activity, of
progress, of DOING. In the great relay of
kind Nineteen Hundred and Twenty gives this good
world new start with the word Co" according to
The Tulsa Tribune which in strong editorial says
Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen was the great
year Of endings 1t ended the great war. 1t ended
German autocracy. 1t ended German frightfulness.
It ended submarine piracy Ii ended the rule of hate
1t ended the arrogance of the Hohenzollerns and
Hapsburgs. And it left mountains OF work ahead for
the world to do.
Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen took up the chal-
lenge with high hope and firm resolve. 1t did its
best to usher in the era of peace earth good
will toward men. But the selfshness in mems souls
prevented the speedy finding of that peace.
"The kaiser who exercised the most cruel selfish
ness taught the world to hate strutting goose
stepping, murder-oving, tinsel-crowned king Seiz-
ing the passions OF people, provoked by German
kultur, a lot of uncrowned kings individuals self
seekers rose up to fan the mob's discomfort into
flame for their self advancement their own po-
liticsl game.
"Lenine and Trotsky in Russia self-seekers and
despots under the pretenee of hating kings tried t.
set themselves up rulers of men by emulating ell
the murderous methods Of the kaiser-kind of king.

confscation OF defiance to organized society and
tablished government percolated our labor unions

DESTRUCTION OF BouLEvARDE.

Much comment has been heard on all sides In re-
gard to the paving Of Bloun street, the present plan
OF the city commissioners contemplating the paving
OF Blount street through the center which would re-
qure the removal of the trees. Of which al
ready add much to the beauty OF the city bouevarde
the section the street from Twelfth Avenue for
several blocks the have not yet received their
full growth but the pecans and other native trees
have already taken root in the soil and promise a
sturdy growth.
It is claimed that the funds do not at this time
justify the paving of both sides of the street and
for that reason it is considered advisable to pave
down the center. making street instead of the
double driveway as originally planned.
Conservation OF the shade and decorative trees
of the country has come to be considered Of such
Importance, as to justify much legislation and the
combined efforts of the state and federal govern
ments; but if through short-sightedness the city
and county authorities fail to cooperate in this pro-
gram Of conservation. it will be impossible to save
one of the most important assets of the United
States; certainly in Pensacola, with system Of
boulevardes which is the admiration every visitor
we cannot afford suffer such ruthless destruction
II it is impossible to finance the paving of Blount
street in its entirety at this time why would not
OF the street now and when the funds are available
pave the other side instead OF tearing up the street
and running the boulevarde system of the city which
has made Pensacola notable all the country.
In the event that it is found impossible to put such
plan into effect way to the larger trees
which beautify the street should be worked out
to leave these trees standing and build around
them would be better than to destroy them entirely.

Florida Press Opinion


Quincy Times Comments Removal of Sheriff.
Jim Van Pelt late sheriff of Escambia county, who
was removed from office by Governor Cats few
weeks ago for alleged neglect of duty failing to
force the prohibition laws, is on the warpath. He
wants his job back and he has petitioned the su-
preme court for writ of quo warPaRto directed to
the new sheriff Whitaker to compel him to show by
what authority he is exercising the functions of the
office and praying that he be ousted from office
and Van Pelt restored to it. The petition alleges that
Van Pelt was removed without being notified at the
time since OF the cause of his removal and such
summary setting aside of the will of the people
had elected him to office was unconstitutional and
illegal.
The result of this litigation will be watched with
deep interest not only because involves the right
Of the governor to remove elective officer with
out informing him of the cause of his removal but
because there is general resentment throughout the
state against executive who seems to be constant
~ seeking opportunity to remove men from office
to which they have been elected by the people, while
at the same time he loses opportunity to ap-
poiHt members of his family to good jobs where
they must be supported by the taxpayers of Florida
1t is very serious matter to publicly degrade by
removal from office a reputable citizen who mas
been elected by the people he lives among and who
know him best and he is entitled to be fully
and personally informed of the reasons why he is
thus pilloried before the world a public servant
who has betrayed his trust and is no longer worthy
of confidence
Mr.. Van Pelt undoubtedly thinks he has a strong
case else he wouldn't have invoked the writ of quo
warranto and challenged the right of the governor to
remove him. and the people Florida are not ac-
customed to having the OF their choice sum-
mariy booted out of the office to which they have
elected them the efforts of Ex-sheriff Van Pelt to
secure his reinstatement will be watched with deep
interest by many people all the state. We don't
know that such an issue has been adiudcaed by the
supreme court of this state and it is obviously of
great importance to have the question definitely set
tied by court of last resort.-The Quincy Times

cipally of rendering personal service,

cribed primarily to the activities Of
the principal owners of stockholders.

ital is not necessary, or only inciden-
tai" No definite and conclusive
tests, however, can be prescribed by
which it can be determined in adj
vance of an examination of the cor
porations return whether or not 1t is
a personal service corporation. The in
dividual stockholders of personal
service corporation are taxed in the
same manner as members of a part
nership, and the net income from
such corporations must be accounted
for by them.
Corporation returns must be sworn
to by the president, vice president, or
other principal officer, and by the

When required by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, corporations sub
ject to the tax must render a return

and partnerships. doing a brokerage
business, when required by the COM
missioner, must file a return showing
the names of their customers, the
amount of their profits or losses, and

mine whether all income tax on profits
and gains of such customers have
been paid.

which the tax is assessed, corporations
are allowed all the ordinary deductions
for business expenses, bad debts, de-
probation, losses, etc, granted the IN

uals, may pay their income tax in full
