terna Revenue Bureau will have all OF
the information needed to see that the
rrofiteer John Smiths pay proper tax or
face prosecution"
While the work of collecting the income
taxes will be just as heavy this year as
IL was in 1919, the government will re-
ceive less revenue. Instead of collecting
six per cent on incomes between 5000 and
5000 from married persons, as was done
last year. only four per cent Will be col
lected this time. Single persons will get
under the previous revenue law. On in
be eight per cent instead OF twelve per
cent as last year. But the surtax begins
operation above 5000 and continues until
the government will assess sixty per cent
of annual incomes above $1.oo0.0O0.
Internal Revenue officials will send in
come tax forms to all persons who paid
taxes last year. Others who are taxable
must apply to the collectors for them.
MIR Roper warned that there would be
unswerving enforcement of the Revenue
law and that punishment will be meted
out and penalties applied without fear or
favor"
This year. since all persons should be
familiar with the law by this time, the
Commissioner said he would not appeal
to the public TO pay taxes on grounds
of patriotism except in so far as tax pay
ment constitutes duty 10 the nation.
Returns and at least one-fourth OF the
amount due must be in the hands of
Internal Revenue Collectors by March 10.

religion and the workings of the spiritual
mind of race which came from no one
knowns where and which finally was
absorbed by the Hamitic Babylonians. The
latter held on to the Sumarian language
for ecclesiastical purposes for many CEN
turies just as Latin is now used In the
Roman Church.
This new volume completes survey OF
the point of view Of the SumarianS as to
the origin and development of man. They
believed that ten patriarchs ruled some
$50, 600 years before the flood, that 1t was
about thirty-five thousand years there
after before Cyrus came down and con.
quered the kingdom. The historical tab
let's at the university museum are the most
elaborate in existence for MeSopotamia,
but are not only sadly broken but with
out a certainty of continuity. No other
records purport to give such chronicle of
human existence. Unfortunately, just
after the flood there are reported kings
who regned as much as 200 years.
Even eliminating early records, there Is
an apparent history of the human race to
400 B. c., but unfortunately, this is not
considered authentic. because so many Of
the reigns of kings are collateral.
The later documents deal solely with
prayers ard hymns and various forms Of
worship. 1t may be said that Ihe Sunar-
ian documents are at least ZOO years older
than the Babylonian, which were discov-
cred some forty years ago and had
such an important effect on Biblical schol-
ership. The Sumarians seem to have set
the plan OF worship for all succeeding
ages in the Near East and the vest. Even
the raiment Of the priests of 5000 years
ago is more or less reproduced today In
many of our churches.

They tell of the flood. the existence of
Paradise and the fall of man something

ethical basis. The Samaritan tablets tell
of the creation of men from clay by a
woman deity. This goddess protects her
creations from the flood by saving Ziug-

Cross reports. The disease is marked
by the srddenness Of attack and the
high percentage of fatalities. Hun
dreds of persons are dying daily in

three -fourths Of the hospital attendants
have been stricken.
Red Cross physicians who had ex-
perience with influenza epidemics in
the United States and France say they
are amazed at the almost instant in
fection upon exposure and the quick
development Of the disease. Death
in many cases occurs within twen-
ty-four hours. Women and young peo-
pie appear to be particularly sus-
ceptible. There is almost constant
succession of funerals at Warsaw,
many Of them being held at night, the
pallbearers carrying torches in ac-
cordance with the Polish custom. PIT
This is the third influenza epidemic

Business Men Urge
Removal of All Car
Tracks in Broadway
Referendum by Broadway ASsocia
ton Favors Modern System of
Bus Transportation.

Members of the Broadway Associa ton
by referendum vote decided 60 request
the removal of street cars from Broadway,
il was announced yesterday. An over
whelming majority favored the removal
of all lines and cars and the adoption of
a modern bus system
Nearly two weeks aGo the Transporta-
ton Committee of the association prepared
referendum. They summarized the tram
sit conditions existing In Broadway and
submitted three questions for the members
to vote on. Merchants and others doing
business on Broadway were keenly inter-
ested in transit conditions. They strongly
objected to the present service rendered
ty the trolley companies. This was indi-
Gated by the p-omptDcss with which their
ballots were filled out. The nature Of
their replies to the Transportation Com
mittee's request were numerous and
varied.
Major Henry G.. Opdycke. managing di-
rector OF the association, In discussing the
vote. said THE result shows that the
merchants and business men of Broadway
are thoroughly dissatisfied with the pres
ent transportation conditions" Another
man wrote:-"We are far behind the times
IN this respect. "A motor bus line on this
great thoroughfare will do for II even more
than has been accomplished by the same
means of transportation on Fifth avenue"
Not only do the merchants doing busi-
ness on Broadway object to present trans
portation conditions, but some of this
city's greatest banking institutions and
insurance companies also voted for the
or street car tracks. All of them
desire n modern motor bus service a
of the vote shows that prac-
tically seventy per cent Of the mem
bers voted in favor of the removal Of
street car lines Less than eight per cent
Of the members returned their ballots, re-
framing from voting.
