SAYS NO CHANGE LIKELY IN
STATE INCOME TAX LAW

The twenty annual report Of the
New York Tax Reform Association was
issued yesterday The statement, in part.
is as follows
mo change is likely to be made in the
Income Tax law in the coming session.
Reports of incomes must be made to the
State Controller. While the State law is
in general like the federal law. there are a
few important differences. The State law
makes no allowances for dividends SAL
aries OF State employees are taxed, but fed
eral salaries are exempt Partnerships are
not taxable as such. However, they must
report their income.
Now that the state is committed 70 the
income tax policy II should be carried out
TO It's logical conclusion. The exemption
Of intangible given by the law taxing in
dividual incomes should be extended TO in
clude all tangible personal property"

Fine weather and peace times bring
more suicides than when :he weather is
bad and the world at war. according to
the statement made public yesterday. In
1918, when the war was at it's height. the
rate OF suicide death was much lower
than last year.
Since the signing OF the armistice there
has been constantly increasing number
of suicides everywhere says the state
ment From foreign countries reports
show a serious situation. Vienna states
that twice as many men as women COM
mitted suicide last year. In Germany,
Russia, Syria and other countries, where
the number has been very large. the cause
is attributed in many cases to despair be-
brought about by the war. Suicide pacts
have been quite common, especially be-
tween soldiers and their sweethearts.
Korea takes the lead i'm this respect Not
long ago eleven Koreans tied themselves
together and jumped from boat into a
river. China leads in numbers. As many
as 10000 suicides have been reported there

who worked for prohibition pov realize
that they made mistake.
''The followers or prohibition now see
that it is impossible to legislate out of
existence something that nature herself
produces every minute OF the day, and
that regulation and local option, sucn as
we have in New Zealand, is the proper
thing. Americans tell me they are going
to work increasingly to try to send wet
legislators to Congress in the future.
New Zealanders by their ballot ende
all chances for absolute prohibition in
my country and have local option instead,
thereby keeping the revenue from liquor
licenses and allowing those communities

us that it was futile to try to amend the
