States Rights to Tax
Incomes Upheld by Court

WASHINGTON, March Fright of
the state to impose income taxes on
non-residents provided they are in
harmony with those imposed on resi-
dents, was upheld and defined Monday
by the supreme court in two decis-
IONS
In a case from Oklahoma the court
held that a state unquestionably had
the authority to levy income taxes
against non-residents on incomes de-
rived from property within the state.
In a New York case, however, the
court declared that such taxes against
non-residents must not be discrim-
inatory.
The Oklahoma income tax law was
sustained and the New York law was
declared void in so far as it denies
to non-residents exemptions which are
given New York citizens. Both opin-
ions were given by Justice Pitney,
with Justice McReynolds dissenting in
the New York case. Exemptions were
involved in both suits, similar to the
married and single persons.
Distinction between the Oklahoma
and New York laws, it appears, was
that the Oklahoma law gives non-resi-
dents and citizens the same exemp-
tions, while the New York law de-
MES non-residents exemption granted
it's own citizens.

MYSTERIOUS RADIO MESSAGES
FROM EVIL SPIRITS HE SAYS

PORTLAND, Ind. March 2.-Myster-
ious messages, which have been re-
corded for the last year or more by
wireless stations and which are
thought by some persons to be from
another planet such as Mars, were
explained to an audience here by Ben
jamin H. Boyd. OF New 1ory city,
speaking under the auspices of the In
ternational Bible Students.
BOYD said these mysterious mes
sases we're none other than the
meddling of evil spirits, fioundering in
the atmosphere above the continent.
He said he would not be surprised to
hear soon that these spirits would COM
municate messages that could be
understood and would purport to be
from Mars explaining how much IN
advance the planet OF Mars Is.

fight for universal military training
would be continued, regardless of the
action of the congress in sidetracking
the issue.
Mr.. Miller said: 1T must not be for
gotten that the terms Of the members
of the present congress, as well as all
legislation pending, do not expire I'M
til March 4, 1921"
He presented to the state military
committee series of proposed
changes in the pending senate army
BILL which, he said, were urged in
order to make doubly sure that the
president and secretary Of war. and
not a general clique. would run the
army" His proposals included an
amendment to place the orga Lization
and administration of the national
guard in time of peace directly in the
hands Of the several states.
Another suggestion was that regu,
lar officers be not eligible to command
units Of the national guard.

Pennsy President Calls
on Employees for Teamwork

President Rea. of the Pennsylvania,
has issued the following order: To the
officers and employees of the Pennsyl-
vania roalroad system, east and west
Effective with the return Of the rail-
roads to their owners for operation
en- March /, the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania system have been divided into
four operating regions to facilitate and
encourage closer and freer contact at
all times with the employees and the
public.
All efforts must be devoted to meet
ing the demands of the country, but,
as result of war conditions, and the
crisis through which the nation has
passed, the property Is returned to its
own management with its roadbed
and equipment below its usual stand
ard. Further, our facilities have not
Kept pace with the growth of industry.
and until additional cars, locomotives,
tracks and terminals can be provided,
we must utilize the present facilities
to the fullest possible extent.
For some time, and for these rea-
sons, the service rendered cannot
fully meet public requirements. How
ever, it is hoped that every one who
requires transportation of the Pennsyl-
1ania railroad system, either freight
or passenger, will see constant I'M
provement Our future success depends
upon our ability to command and re-
tain the confidence and cooperation or
the public, which we can have only II
we fully meet all our obligations, and
conscientiously perform our every
duty.
For a long time many of us tboth
employees and officers) have justly 1eil
that our real problems were not ap-
preciated and were not understood Dy
the public; but now we believe the
American people are thoroughly alive
to the necessity for understanding
these problems and deciding upon
poicy under which they can be settled
on just basis.
| In our own organization, the longing
| for a return to the Pennsylvania stand
ard of work and service is apparent on
every side If each of us-the 215.oOo
| men and women who comprise the
personnel Of the Pennsylvania rail-
| road system-will respond to this
spirit and work together as we have
| in the past, we shall succeed in salts
tying the public and earning fair
return for the many hundreds OF thou
sands Of our citizens, and their lnstl'
tutions, who furnished the money tc
create and improve this great public
transportation system, and who have
entrusted its operation to us.

Town Is Opposed to
Improvement of Roads

TOKEPA, Kas. A town that
doesn't want good roads, that does
not desire to be on a through high
way, has just been discovered in Kan.
sas. 1t is the only one OF the kind in
the state and may be the only one in
the entire country. 1t is Meriden, a
city of the third class in Jefferson
county. The members of the city coun-
Gil, consisting Of five men, have voted
against improving the Meriden streets
and against participating in the gov
eminent aid for highways.
The chief objection offered by the
members of the council was that the
proposed improvement would induce
high speed for motor cars and that
would be dangerous to the children
of the town.
The state highway commission has
been at work figuring on roads to go
around Meriden. The Southwest trail.
an important highway. running from
st. Joseph, Mo-, through Atchison and
Topeka to Council Grove, Kas., goes
through Meriden. 1t offers an outlet
or short cut from the northeast to the
old Santa Fee Trail highway and thus
reaches a transcontinental route.
Plans for hard surfacing the road had
been under way and for months the
local boards and the highway COM
! mission had been trying to get the
Meriden council to act. Finally the
council acted, and 1t was to refuse all
federal or state aid for any highway

Interchurch Movement.
Concerning the interchurch world
movement, Bishop Nicholson said:
THE interchurch movement is
sober, we'll planned, serious effort to
unity and marshal the forces of united
Professionalism for the tremendous
task of making civilizations really
Christian. 1t is born of the unwaver-
ing confidence of the leaders of the
church in the adequacy of Jesus
Christ and his program for the worlds
need"
These leaders also see that the
church with all it's achievements, has
only been touching the fringes of the
problem. They now prepare to move
together, to survey the whole task,
to attack the problem with the thor
oughness, the business skill, and the
cool judgment of the modern business
world, coupled with all the faith and
zeal of the early Christian church.
I'm my judgment, it is the most
compelling movement, the most hope
full undertaking for civilization, the
most worth while of any in our gen

Planned by Allied Council

PARIS, March Joint buying, dis
tribution according to necessities, and
supervision of selling prices were pro-
vided for in tentative plan agreed
to at London yesterday by the econ

The plan must be submitted to Pre-

'In the debate which developed dur
ing the meeting as to where the need

newspaper says, 1.-The exchange situa-
ton between Europe and the United
States was considered as hindering
purchases and Premier LloydGeorge,
of Great Britain, urged exchanges with
Russia, particularly for wheat.
There was, therefore, only a step
to be taken toward making a direct
agreement with the soviet government
for exchanges which were previously
arranged for with the Russian cooper
ative societies, which form in reality
only an administrative organ. This
step has been taken"

lat Earham college Edwards of Earl
ham is member of the state COM
mittee. The problem before this COM
-mittee is described as follows:
Emergency Serious.
1t is an emergency problem. The
public schools of the state and the
nation are facing the most serious
crisis in their history. At a time
when their service should be of the
best and highest order, their efficiency
and integrity are imperiled by the
threatened wholesale withdrawal of
teachers, by the sharp decrease in en-
rollments of the normal schools and
other training institutions, and by
the general lowering of standards of
preparation and work of teachers.
The efficiency of the public schools
rests fundamentally upon the char
acter. attainments, insight, and Skill
OF the public school teachers. What
is the real status of teaching today?
Teaching an Unstable Calling.
More than one-half of the public
school teachers are immature; they
remain only a short time in the work
of teaching; their general education
is wholly inadequate; their profess
sional equipment is deplorable meager
OF the approximately 100000 public
school teachers in the United States:
Two hundred fifty thousand are 81
years of age and under: 100000 re-
main in service five years and less;
100000 have had no more than four
years OF education beyond the eighth
grade.
Under Immature Teachers.
One half of all school children are
under immat ure and unframed teach
ers. In the aggregate, the boys and
girls now receiving their schooling at
the hands of young and poorly trained
teachers will constitute fully 80 per-
cent of the next generation of Amer
lean voters. Think what this means
for democratic institutions!
