The total amount of income tax col
lected through the Wichita office in
1920 for the 1919 taxes will amount
to about S35,OOO,O0O, a sum slightly
less than in the year preceding. This
is explained by the fact that the tax
rate has been lowered so per cent
The 1920 taxes, due in 1921. probably
will not amount to more than the 1919
taxes in Kansas. for the reason that
thousands of farmers in this state
have withheld their wheat ION mar
ket in 1920 and will not sell it until
1921, thus having no income from that
source until next year.

The wheat movement is getting a
little better in Kansas. In November
a hundred more cars were loaded IN
the state than in the same month a
year ago, and in the first ten days OF
December the loading was 900 cars
more than in the same period year
ago. Judge Clyde Reed of the indus
trial court compiled the reports OF
the roads on the wheat loadings. In
November the total Ioadings were g.
743 cars. while year ago they were
9.613 In the first ten days Of this
month the roads loaded 3,490 cars,
while in the same period a year ago
they loaded 1851 cars. Grain dealers
report a considerable movement OF
wagon wheat to market in the last
few weeks and some car loadings, due
chiefly to the desire of the farmers
to obtain money to pay taxes and to
obtain funds for Christmas shopping.
The increase of nearly a thousand
cars of wheat early this month would
indicate a big wheat movement under
way, which will materially tend to
relieve the banking situation.

RETURN OF THE RAILROADS

Every friend of legitimate enter
prise and of the principle of private
ownership and operation of property
regrets that it has not proved possible
to restore the railroads of the country
on January l, in accordance with the
purpose announced by the President
as long ago as last May. But there
will ge great feeling of relief that
the event will not be postponed longer
than March list, the date fixed in the
proclamation from the White House
on the day before Christmas.
The reasons for the delay are OBJ
vious. The restoration of the railroads
to private ownership without the re-
qulsite legislation undoubtedly would
have brought about a state of confu-
sion the scope of which it would be
difficult to overestimate.
Since the problem was placed before
1t last spring, Congress has had more
IMAM seven months in which to legis-
late for the great task of readiust-
ment after a period of operation and
financing that have left bad taste in
the mouths of the people and have re-
suited IN a grave financial deranpe-
ment of the countries arteries of com
merce.
During that time the chief achieve
ment-lnfact, the only tangible a.
chievement-of the legislature on this
vital problem has been to formulate
and emphasize its apparently irrecon-
cliaole points of disagreement. as en-
nodled In Cummins bill, passed bv
Ihe Senate on the eve of its adiouro-
ment over the holidays, and in the
Esch Dill, passed earlier by the House
Inc Presidents proclamation fixino
March l as the date for the return of
the railroads to their owners must
serve as notice to Congress that If
must compose its differences by that
GATE and place upon the statute books
tne laws necessary for the restoration
OF the transportation system of the
country to its normal basis-the only
basis sanctioned by public opinion in
the light of our lamentable experience
with public operation under the stress
of war conditions.
Congress now has its duty clearly
placed before it by the executive. Il
must proceed promptly to the per-
formance of that duty.

Spirit. He sent the Spirit into the
church. The Jesus whom We slew is
Lord and Messiah. Three steps into
the new life were indicated in re-
Spouse to these questions. Repent
ance, baptism as open expression of it
and reception of the Gift were the
doors opening into the relationship
seen among the believers And crowds
pressed their way into the Kingdom
of joy, peace and fellowship.
THE PURPOSE
What is the work of the Spirit? To
make living body for Christ in the
world so that He may use it and ex-
press His life and purpose in the
world of men. What is the body for?
To make Jesus Lord in the individual
and in the life of the world. Each
individual must become living, vital
part of the body and "no man can call
Jesus Lord, but in the Holy Spirit"
so that by my willing browning of
Christ as Lord of my life l share in
the Presence and am assimilated into
the body made up of all others vital
lied by that same Spirit. And the
united body is used to throne Christ
as Lord of the world of life so that
every knee, in business, in politics, in
commerce, in national and interna-
tional relationships, may bow to Him.
The Spirit never speaks of Himself,
but always exalts Christ. If there is
an eXaltation of any other then is not
the spirit the Holy Spirit. Nor is
there any aristocracy among the Spir-
it-filled; the church is democracy in
which each stands level and all is
for each and each has all. The result
is seen in the characteristics manifest
in the closing verses of this chapter
where joy reigned and fellowship
shared money, mind and meal.
