restrictions placed on his recrea-

ride yesterday, has discussed with
Rear Admiral Grayson, his physic-

in the near future DR.. Grayson

understood to believe that he would
be more benefited by remaining at
home than he would be by a sea
voyage or a trip to some rest re-
sort, as he can best follow out here
his desire to keep in intimate touch

radical, according to a Helsingfors
dispatch to the Tidninges Of this
city.
THE revolution has not been fol-
lowed by any spiritual revival" the
article is said to declare, land has
proved itself unable to make men
more honest. Men in power now
are just as brutal as those in au-
thority under the imperial regime
and send as many men TO prison.
Bolshevik leaders, driven by ambi-

(SDecial to The Arpus)

This is the first of a series of articles
on how Uncle Sam can tell whether your
income tax return is correct.-Editors
Motel.
Washington, March A. People
have often wondered whether the
United States government would
ever nave the time or the staff to
examine the millions Of income tax
sheets which have been filed in the
last two years, or will be filed in
the future. Who does the check
ing up? And how carefully is it
done? What happens if you make
an honest mistake? What happens
if the government catches a tax
evader?
These questions are no doubt be-
ing asked everywhere as the people
Of the United States prepare their
income tax returns, which must
be in the hands of collectors of in
ternal revenue by March 10. Inas-
much as every unmarried man in
the United States who earns 500 a
week and every married man or
woman or individual who is the
head OF a family earning $40 a
week, must file a statement of in
come, regardless of whether there
is any tax due, plenty of trouble
and embarrassment can be avoided
by wage-earners, merchants, farm
ers, professional men. landlords,
business partners and corporations
by knowing in advance just what
Uncle Sam has on you"
Employers Must Report.
In the first place, every factory,
store. wholesale or retail business.
in fact, every employer, must make
out list of his employees and the
wages or salaries they get. provid-
ed the sum in each case is above
SIS week. That means that the
United States government gathers
together separate sheets of paper
ON which information is given con-
corning everybody's income above
SIS. These statements are care
fully filed and thousands of gov
ernment employees are at work
daily looking to see whether John

= Washington, March 4.-Brecken-
ridge Long, third assistant secre-
tary Of state. who is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
senator from Missouri, said today
he did not plan to resign from the
state department at this time. He
feels that because Of the situation
resulting from the resignation of
Secretary Lansing. the appointment
Of Assistant Secretary Phillips as
minister to The Netherlands, and
the pending retirement Of Acting
Secretary Polk, he should remain
at his post.
Mr.. Long indicated that if he
should decide later to leave the de-
partment it would not be until
after the Missouri primaries.

Complaint is made that the act

AND THE COURT
DIDN'T KNOW WHO

Reno, New, March 4. - Judge
Frank P. Langan, who granted a
decree of divorce to Mary Pickford,
at Minden, New, Tuesday, says he
did not know plaintiff in the case
was Mary Pickford until she was
cross-examined. He was introduc-
red to her mother, who was called
Mrs. Smith, and he addressed the
screen star as Mrs. Smith until he
found out her identity. Counsel
for both sides declare they knew
nothing about any property set
tlement.
When Moore, the husband, left
Minden Monday shortly after being
served with the papers in the suit,

EUROPE SLIPS
FROM POSITION
IT ONCE HELD
Italian Premier Hopeful
for Own Country,
However.

London, March 4.-Europe is IN
danger of permanently losing the
position she held in the world be-
fore the outbreak Of the world war,
says Premier Nitti of Italy in an in
terview printed by the Manchester
Guardian today. He points OUT
that Europe is no longer a creditor
but is on the debit side OF the
ledger.
Public order in Italy is good, ne
says, and if, that country could get
her minimum requirements in coal.
foOdstuffs and raw materials she
would be able to reconstitute her
self economically.
mo attention must be paid to ru-
mors about bolshevism," he con-
tinues. Hard work and modera-
ton are the slogans of Italy at the
present moment.
Find Way Out.
Only brief allusion to the Adriat-
ic problem is made in the 1iterview.
I'VE shall find way out says
the premier, "and we and the Jugo-
Slavs will be friends.
What, after all, is Italy demand.
ing in the Adriatic? She wants
some strips of territory the popula-
ton of which is less than the Ital-
ian casualties in the war. Do not
confuse issues by talking of secret
treaties. The pact Of London was
concealed only because of necessi-
ties of the war, and at any rate
those who might complain are, aft
er all, the Italian people"

Tripping the Tax Dodger

received more than SIS a week
throughout the preceding year, ac-
tually filed return of his own to
the government and paid the taxes
due.
But you will say the employer
need not file return for his en-
ploye. If he doesn't, he will have
to pay the taxes himself for that
sum of money, because when the
income tax experts look over his
books-and they can do so at any
time-they will regard the amount
eliminated by him as so much
profits. And employers wouldn't
like that. So the employer is a
check on the employe so far as the
government is concerned.
Covers Incidental Items.
But it goes further than that If
you received more than SIS a week
or $500 year from any business
transaction. whether from the sale
of land or securities or property of
any kind or any class of services
from teaching nights to working
on the side after business hours,
the man who paid you more than
$500 must tell the government
about it. And staff of experts
works all the time making a list
of persons who didn't file returns.
And some day a representative OF
the government will call on few
hundred thousand of our people
and hand them tax return already
made out, which they neglected to
do themselves, only the taxes will
be much larger because there will
be penalty for non-paypent OF
taxes long overdue.
There is a special division of the
income tax bureau which does moth
ing else but think up penalties Oh

kind of return OF course. allow
