Secretary Davis is evidently not a
Government ownership advocate, for
he says in his report in connection
with the hotel,
Furnishing, as it does, excellent
hotel accommodations at cost which
includes no profit nor many of the
items of overhead expense entering
into similar operations by private en-
terprise, no doubt it would be appre-
ciated by the workers throughout the
country if this service could be ex-
tended not only to Government en-
ployees but to other wage workers as
we'll, charging the resulting loss to
the taxpayers of the Nation"
The last few words of the Secre-
tary's comment emphasizes the fact
that when Government operations are
conducted at loss, as they were in
the Government operation of the rail-
loduo, tuC lOoo iuuot ldll upOu tuc tdA-
payers. Most Government ownership
advocates overlook this feature or
minimize Its importance.
In this connection 1t is interesting
to note the information that the Gov
eminent hotel in Washington charges
its guests $45.50 per month for room
and two meals per day. A large hotel
owned and operated by the Salvation
Army for the benefit of women, and
conducted on strictly business basis,
charges patrons $45 per month for
room and board. 1t is evident from
this comparison that although the
Government hotel does not have the
usual overhead charges to meet, 1t is
not giving service at much less than
rates ordinarily charged for similar
service elsewhere.

WASHINGTON LETTER. {

Washington, Deco. &c. - Especial
Correspondence -Secretary of Labor
Davis evidently does not intende to
let any incomplete figures go out of
his department giving an erroneous
impression CT the results of Govern
ment operation. In his annual report
he takes pains to call attention to
some facts that shed important light
on results reported in the operation of
Government hotels.
During the war the Government
|orectedsa large hotel in Washington
to house Government employees, and
this hotel is still sin operation under
the management of plaza Council"
This council pointed to figures show
| ing that the Government appropriated
| $994,29S for the operation of the hotel
curing the last fiscal year while re-
= ipts from guests to the amount of
81 ,029,1SO were collected, leaving an
apparent profit of $34,SS1. Comment
ing upon this Secretary Davis re-
marks:
These profits are shown only be-
cause no account is taken of rent, in
terest on investment, depreciation
taxes, etc."
The hotel property above mentioned
Represents a Federal investment of al.
most 100000 for construction ant
Equipment, not counting the value Of
the land which already belonged t.
the Government and which will ulti
mately be used for public park pur
poses. Interest on this investmen
would be $150,000, even at the low
rate Of per cent. Depreciation woult
be easily another s per cent, ant
taxes at the rate charged in the Dis
trict of Columbia would be another
one and one half per cent. Since tn,
Federal Government bears half thu
taxes in the District, the taxes woult
really be 8 per cent. II these tire,
items of interest, depreciation ant
taxes be included, the results of tn,
operation of the Government hotel
would show loss of more than $3.50,
900 instead Of the claimed profit o
$4,000.

INCOME TAX
INFORMATION
= GIVEN OUT
Collector Lucas Gives Important In
formation on Income Tax Z

Robert H. Lucas, collector OF in
ternal revenue, authorized the follow
ing:
4 With the approach Of THE period for
filing income tax returns - January
! to March IL, 1922 - taxpayers are
advised to lose no time In the COM
pilation Of their accounts for the year
1921. A new and important provision
Of the Revenue Act Of 1921 is that
every person whose gross income for
1921 was $1,000 or over, shall file a
return. regardless Of the amount Of
net iifcpme upon which the tax is as
sessed. Returns are required Of every
single person whose net income was
$1,000 OF over and every married per-
son living with husband or wife whose
net income was $4,000 or over. Wild
ows and widowers and persons sep
arated orr divorced from husband or
wife, are regarded as single persons.
Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions for business eek
penses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross N
come includes practically all income
received by the taxpayer during the
year; in the case of the wage Garner
salaries, wages, bonuses and commits
sions; in the case of professional men
all amounts received for professional
services lin the case of farmers all
profits fro mthe sale of farm products,
and rental or sale of land.
In thu making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1921, every taxpayer
should present to himself the follow
ing questions
What were your profits from your
business, trade, profession Or voca-
ton?
Did you receive any interest on
bank deposits?
Have you any property from which
you received rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of dividend or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses during
the year?
Did you make any profit on the sale
of stocks, bonds, or other property,
real or personal?
Did you act as a broken in any
transaction from which you received
commissions?
Are you interested in any partner
ship or other firm from which you re-
ceiyed any income?
Have you any income from royal
ties or patents?
Have you and minor children who
are working?
Do you appropriate, or nave the
right, to appropriate, any earnings Of
such children? If so, the amount must
be included in the return or income.
Has your wife any income from any
source whatsoever? If SO, it must be
included in your return or reported In
a separate return of income.
Did you receive any directors fees
or trustees fees in the course of the
year?
Do you hold any Office in benefit
society from which you receive in
come?
Answers to all Of these questions
are necessary to determine whether 9
person has an income sufficiently
large to require that return be filed
and may be the means of avoiding thu
heavy penalties imposed for failure t.
do so within the time prescribed.

COMMUNITY PROGRESS Ass'Ns

After the human animal gets set.
tied in his new community. after
he has satisfied his religious needs
and done something to promote
moral standards. after he has met
the longing for personal friendship
he begins to look around to sec
how the community of which he is
part Ian be developed.
The first attempts iii such direc-
tions were frequently called i'm.
provement societies. and they work
for more neatness, beauty and for
public improvements. They have
accomplished wonderful results in
beautifying towns and providing
eonveniences.
Then people began to realize that
they could greatly hasten the bust.
MSS progress of community. by
forming organizations OF the board
of trade type. They would take
dead town where business men
would never pull together. and
would unite all these jarring units
in some common effort. At once
obstacles began to disappear, and
results were achieved
The reasons for organizing the
town for civic progress are just as
strong, as for organizing for govern.
ment If there was no local govern
ment, if the citizens had to get their
children educated by private tu-
tors, and had to hire private guards
to defend property and protect 1t
against fire. life would revert back
three centuries.
Similarly. if you try 10 run a
modern town without some civic
organization to unity its business
force, work unitedly for progressive
measures. you are helpless to gain
advances as was the unorganized
community Of medieval days. Holly
has done fine work along these
community lines. But it's citizens
should realize how much more could
be accomplished if everybody
would take hold to help. instead of
leaving such efforts to relatively
small number of people.

When it comes to paying the high

A NEW INDUSTRIAL BASIS

The world is in such turmoil that
some people seem to feel that the
war with its great sacrifices was
fought in vain. Yet out of such per
iods of unsettlement. great gains
have frequently come in the past.
The great problem in the indus
trial world, is to modify the radical
views entertained by extremists of
both capital and labor. and get
both elements to realize that their
interests are identical.
The laborer must learn that he
can't obtain gains by force, at the
expense of the rest of the commlln-
ity. The eapalist can not say that
he can conduct his business just as
he likes without regard to human
welfare
Labor ought not to be bought
and sold like SO much iron or steel.
Any man who buys it, is under OBJ
legation to consider it's welfare.
These workers have hearts and
souls and cannot be handled like
dead material. The worker must
learn that he has to obey the fund
amentaf economic law of the uni.
verso When he fails to do his
best, lie is restricting his own share
of the product. And workers should
not be jealous of those who earn
high pay by superior efficiency.
