Income Tax Facts You Should Know.

Births, deaths, and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially in
come tax returns for that year.
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption of 5000 in the parents
income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands and wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the in
come tax law and are granted only an
exemption Of 81 900, unless the head
of the family.
Persons who were divorced or sepa-
rated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on De-
cember 81, 1920, determines the
amount of the exemptions. : If or
that day the taxpayer was married
and living with wife or husband
claim may be made for the $4,000 ex'
emption. If single, or married ane
not living with wife or husband or
December 81, the exemption is only
81, 900.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings fol
that period amounted to $1,000 o.
more, or $4,000 or more, according t,

IN a sermon recently delivered,
"Rev. Dr." Ralph M. Davis, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, St..
Louis, advocating Sunday Blue Laws,
let the spirit of his pious fervency
take full flight. AS he is not only
"Rev.", but "Dr." to boot, his place
is high in the synagogue, and he may
be taken to speak with churchly
authority. Said the "Rev. Dr.n-I
let 60 reluctantly his distinguishing
titles, which, worthily worn, are most
honorable and command our utmost
respect-said the "Rev. Dr.":
We have learned in this country
that nothing is against personal lib
erty when a majority of the people
want it. Our all-too-common spirit
Of individualism, which with many
amounts to petty anarchism, should
receive effective rebuke now and
then. We are a government of ma
jorities, and these must be respected.
Yes, majorities must be respected!
They were respected and their de-
cisions enforced in the days of old;
when the rack yanked impiety from
man, and the prison shut him out of
the light of heaven; when the stake
fire flashed merrily about his con-
suming body. Majorities ruled in
Presbyterian Scotland when dissent
ers were hunted and killed like black
cattle in the mountains; majorities ap-
proved the burning of Michael Ser
vetus, under the direction of the
jealous Calvin, and in America
with red-hot irons bored the tongues
of recalcitrant Quakers and Baptists.
Why should not majorities rule now
as then? Their hand would fall heavi.
ly only on the wicked-on those who
blasphemously assert an. inalienable
right to liberty of person and free
dom of belief. Go to, ye improvident
fools, who know not the loving hearts
that would protect you from your
selvesl They righteously seek tc
eliminate the constitutional restric-
tions which modern profanity has cre-
,ated and which hampered not the Will
of the godly in the old days wher
Kingship was divine and the common
Individual but clod Of the valley.

Government By Caucus.
(st. Louis Post-Dlspatch.)

kot. LOUIS fOSt-DlSpdtcn'J
Under the caucus rule now operat-
ing at Jefferson City the State Senate
has, in effect, been abolished and the
powers constitutionally exercised by
that body are vested in 10 Repub-
lican Senators.
The proceedings of the Senate are
mere rehearsals. Bills are no longer
to be discussed, amended, enacted or
rejected on the floor of the Senate.
All this is to be done behind the clos.
ed doors of the caucus, securely hid
den from the public gaze.
The modus operandi of the caucus,
as clearly explained in the Post-Dis-
patch yesterday, may again be set
forth. Of the "a members of the Sem
ate, 10 are Republicans, Is Demo-
Gratis. When the 10 Republicans go
into caucus they are all pledged to
abide by any decision which a ma
jority of them-10-support. Any
bill, therefore, which 10 Republican
Senators approve becomes, there and
then, the action of the whole Senate.
In consequence of this compact the
15 Democratic Senators have been
reduced to mere spectators. But that
is not all. Suppose nine Republican
Senators vote against a caucus mea-
sure. By their oath they will have to
vote for that measure when it comes
before the Senate, They are, there
fore, reduced to the same impotency
as the Democrats. The astounding
spectacle, accordingly, is presented
of legislative body of "a members
absolutely under the control of 10 of
those members, or less than one third.
In other words, the election creden-
tials of "a Senators-15 Democrats and
nine Republicans-have been voided,
and the people who elected those "a
Senators are disfranchised.
The incident which brought this
scheme of legislation by caucus into
full bloom is of interest. A bill in
troduced by Democratic Senator to
reduce income taxes some 30 per
cent was permitted to get out of COM
mittee on to the floor. The Repub-
lican caucus evidently had not de-
cided as to what reduction in income
taxes, if any, would be permitted.
The result was that the, bill was
jockeyed back to the committee. 1t
has no place on the calendar. 1t may
be brought up again or it may not,
according as 10 Republican Senators
decide. So, the amount of income
tax each of US pays this year will be
determined, not by the Legislature,
but by cabal of 10 Republican Sena-
tors.
This scheme of legislating by caucus
is said to be the work of Lieutenant
Governor Lloyd. In just appraisal of
this scheme it may be said to make
the gerrymander tactics of the Demo-
Gratis seem cumbersome, inefficient
and archaic. 1t disfranchises more
than two-t thirds of the State. 1t
makes mockery of the Constitution.
1t junks legislation and substitutes
manipulation.
1t raises this question: Are we to
be governed in Missouri by law or by
Lloyd?

SENATOR BUFORD writes the REGIS
TER he would like to have an express
sion from the people of his district as
to how they feel in regard to the
proposed county unit bill now pend
ing in the Legislature. The proposed
school law is radical change from
the one that has been in vogue in
Missouri so long. This law would
take the selection of school house
sites, the selection of teachers and
the building or approval of school
houses out of the hands of the var
ious communities and vest all their
powers in the proposed County
Board. No community or local school
district could determine the kind of
school house it would have or its cost.
In order to build or improve school
house, by the bonding method it
would be necessary for the whole
county to vote on the proposition. II
1t failed to carry in the whole county
then there would be no school house
or no Improvement, as the case might
be. And Board composed of citi-
zens of county at large might con-
clude, too, that school house of a
certain type would be sufficient for a
certain community or district when
as matter of fact the people of that
district might prefer much better
one, One of the principal arguments
against this proposed bill is that it
would destroy local initiative and
local pride in school matters. The
Senator says he would like to hear
from the citizens of Iron county on
the proposed law. He wants to be
governe by the wishes of his con-
stltuency.

The Blue Law Advocate.

The 'sblue law' advocate is the
preacher who, having lost his power
with God and his influence with the
people, can no longer fill his pews,
and therefore appeals to the strong
arm of the law for aid. Twenty five
hundred years ago an old Judean
prophet said of such, "Cursed be the
man that trusteth in man, and maketh
flesh his arm"
