COMMITTEE TO
 DISCUSS AUTOMOBILE FEES

It was announced at Hartford that the legislative committee of finance and rivers, bridges and roads will hold joint meeting on March l for the consideration of the bills, approved by the state motor vehicle and highway departments, which provide for the complete revision of the automobile registration fees. It is estimated tha, the net revenue to the state would be $3,000,000 annually as the result oi the revision.
 Highway Commissioner Bennett has recommended the following revision of fees, saying:
 "1n order to secure this sum, with the number of vehicles at present Ii censed, 1t is suggested that the fee for pleasure cars should be 75 cents 2 horse power, and for l ton truck, $25 a ton; 1 l-2 ton truck, $50; ? tor truck, s65; 1-2 ton truck, $50; ton truck, $50; 3 1-2 ton truck s200; ton truck, s250; 1-2 tor truck, $500; ton truck, $450; over 5 ton truck. $15o a ton"
 Commissioner Bennett points out that the cost of highway maintenance has increased and as the revenue from automobile fees is used for highway work, the increases are needed. The schedule of new fees for passenger au, tomobiles has not yet been prepared

He urged the committee to face the facts as they exist, and not in the light of the simple faith of bygone lay, for he pointed out that condi- tions had changed. He urged that Sunday baseball be legalized, but S that it should not interfere with the religious observance of the Sabbath.

INCOME TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

Births, deaths, and marriages dur ing the year 1920 affect materially income tax returns for that year. Millions of babies were added to family circles, each of whom brings an exemption of s2oo in the parents income tax returns.
 Widows and widowers who lost their husbands or 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 1000, unless the head of family.
 Persons who were divorced or sep arated by mutual agreement during the year also must consider themselves as single persons.
 The status of the taxpayer on De- cenber 3i, 1920, determines the amount of the exemptions. If on that day the taxpayer was married and living with wife or husband, claim may be made for the $2,0o0 exemp- tion. If single, or married and not living with wife or husband on Decem- Der 31, the exemption is only 1000.
 Persons who reached majority dur ing the year and whose earnings for that period amounted to S1,0o0 or more, or 2,000 or more, according to their marital status, must file a return and pay tax on their net income In excess of those amounts.
 To avoid penalty. the return must be In the hands of the Collector of In- ternal Revenue for the district In which the taxpayer lives. oh has his principal place of business, on or be- fore midnight of March Is, 1921.

Still in the Running.

Evidently Woodrow Wilson is not
through with politics. At any rate.
politics is not through with Woodrow
Wilson. His appearance in the gossip
about the armament conference and
all the related subjects, and the in
terest that attaches to that feature of
the gossip, are proof enough that, de-
spite his retirement from Office and
his regretted physical disability, he is
still in the running and to be reckoned
with.
We may safely put aside much OF
tho current talk about the former
President. He is as difficult Of ap-
proach in his private residence as he
was while he occupied the White
House. Aloofness seems to be in his
grain. He sees few people, and con-
fides in even fewer.
This incites to roorbacks. Inven-
tions and exaggerations about him
find ready market. They are not like
ly to be denied, and so go their un-
challenged way. Things he has not
said and moves he has not made or
contemplated are gobbled up as au-
thentic.
Still, we may all. without injustice
to him, go upon these facts: The con-
ference and all related subjects must
intrigue him by their very nature. He
has the time to devote to all ascertain
able details of the business. He is in
touch with politicians in high Office
who continue to confess him as guide
and leader, and are able to supply him
with much important information
about all political subjects that appeal
to him.
Mr.. Wilson's part in next years
campaign and in the campaign OF
1924 is on the knees Of the gods. If
disposed to speak, he could not him
self today satisfy curiosity on the
subject. But that he will have part,
and play it with all the zest and skill
remaining in his nature, may be as
sumed both from his own tempera-
ment and from the men who are still.

The Magician.

Young and old alike welcome. the
magician. Although the title does not
mean what it did in olden times. the
magician is still a man to conjure
with. If he has not the power of the
Pied Piper Of Hamelin, he yet can draw
dignifled business men as if by magic.
Recently one Of these modern magi'
clans paid visit to a large Office
building. A round, suave man, dressed
in somber black. his ingratiating
smile seemed to attract all. From the
head of the establishment to the Office
boys, work was suspended for a space,
while the magician transformed pieces
Of blank paper into fivedollar bills, and
otherwise proved that the hand is
quicker than the eye.
At the successful completion of each
trick the crowd broke into laughter
and applause. Here was democracy
at its best, brought forth at the touch
Of the magician. as a sort of side prod
uct of his more serious business:
Why did the executive leave his
