 When the railroads of this country shall adopt the continental system and sell hrSt-ClasS and SeCOnd-ClaSS tickets, the hrst-Class ticket permitting the hold CT to ride in the Pullman car without additional compensation, one source Of irritation to the public will be removed.
 One of the chief objections to the present revenue law Is the fact that how ever honest man may be he never knows whether he has paid all his taxes or not. He cannot tell what moment a federal grand jury may conclude to in dict him and blacken his reputation if it does not furnish him with a striped suit of clothes.
 The fax on my income was not large enough to pay war worker through one of the beauty shops of Washington, yet 1 never knew how to make 1t out or the blanks furnished by the depart l ment of internal revenue. 1 have not been discharged by my government for | the first return that 1 made 1 was told | that an extension of time was being | taken for the purpose. 1 suppose that | the government might examine still fur | ther my simple sources of income and | ascertain whether through ignorance or design l was defrauding it. l hope I did not intend to, and yet before 1 get | through this thing I may be compelled to base my hopes of acquittal on what | 1 believe to be my reputation for honesty and fair dealing.
 l The war Is over now and care should be taken to simplify the new law that any man of ordinary intelligence may l know what he IS to pay.
 l The law should be so plain that no scoundrel may escape conviction on the l ground that its complications made it impossible for him honestly to figure up 1 his tax.
 As the law now stands it holds out a
 signal telling a man which way to go ii he desires to avoid the just payment of his income tax. Take this i1lustra- tion: If 1 have $10O,00O invested in a certain stock and my neighbor has a
 like amount of the same stock I may on the 3lst day of December sell my
 stock to my neighbor at $10,OO0 loss and credit myself with this loss on my
 income tax return. My neighbor may

COURAGE.

Lou1l find 1t in the lullabies that patient mothers sing, It's III the humble cottage where the
 shouts of children ring; 1t fills the weary toiler's breast, 1t
 lights the blow boys eye, It's like the beauty ot the sun, the
 glory of the sky. It glows above the mountain top, it
 rides the stormy sea, It's in the dream ot every man who
 fights for joys to be. You read it in the faces of the toi1ers
 homeward bound; It spurs the sturdy pioneer who
 clears a patch of ground. It stands beside a whlrring lathe and
 delves within a mine, 1t swings the ax III forests wild and
 fells the mighty pine; It's stamped on every mothers face
 who brings a babe to birth; 1t is the seed of every good which
 blossoms on the earth. It's not. alone in facing death, when
 that grim duty asks, It's facing life from day to day with
 all it's dreary tasks; It's keeping faith with those you love
 it's standing firm and true And bearing all life's bitterness for
 those who trust in you; (t's clinging to your glorious dreams
 when doubts and griefs assail, (t's trying for a splendid goal and
 smiling though you fail. The soldier shares it with his king
 the toiler with his chief; The self-same courage all must own
 who feel the touch of grief. Rich towards shall be towards still
 despite their sums of gold. Cor courage is the gift of God anc
 can't be bought and sold. And all who tread the path of life
 and scorn to stoop to sin Have earned the glory of the great for courage makes them kin. Edgar A. Guest

to attempt an invasion of the non-union coal fields.
 MT. Gompers makes himself ridicu lous to West Virgilians when he makes his plea about the miners protesting against laWlessness insofar at least as he refers to the United Mine Workers. The miners themselves are generally law abiding. Every disorder that has ever oc- cured in the mining fields of West Vir- ginia has been oCcasioned by the thugs and outlaws of the United Mine Work CTS organization who came into the state to combat the unionization of these coal fields.
 Since 1912 it has been the policy of the United Mine Workers to compel, by the use of force in every conceivable way, all persons engaged i'll the mining industry to join the union, and it has likewise been its policy to destroy all business of non-union operators, the end of which would mean the subjection of the coal industry of the United States to such unjust and unlawful demands as its might desire to put into force"

 When 1t comes to the question of the income tax the only way in which the government can deal fairly with its citi- zens and satisfy them that 1t is dealing fairly with them IS to sweep away all intermediate steps and plunge at once into the ultimate reception of the in come.
 To my mind the only fair, just and satisfactory income tax is one that is levied on the income of the man who finally receives it. There should be no excess profits tax, and I doubt that there should be any corporate tax Like the definition of a lie the surtax is an abomination in the sight of the law and very present help in time of govern mental trouble. There should be no Surtax.

 l fully appreciate the difficulties of the administration with reference to re- vision of internal taxes
 The proposed consumption tax, how ever fair in principle 1t might have been, was calculated to subject the government to the charge of shifting tax burdens from the rich to the poor.
 A poor man probably eats more than a rich man-he usually has more chil- dren to feed and to clothe-and a con- sumption tax however fairly 1t might distribute the burden among all the peo- pie would not distribute it in proportion 'o the wealth of the land
 It is of importance that the individual citizen know just what his tax Is and on what theory it is being levied. Take the uproar about Mr. Mel1on's S10 automobile tax. Not being the own- CT of one of these bankruptcy produc- CTS 1 saw nothing wrong with the tax. But if 1 had contributed to the ability of Henry Ford to purchase Muscle Shoals 1 probably would have felt that the government was singling out an item of my property for taxation, while per hitting my stylish neighbor who rides in handsome equipage behind span of l thoroughbred horses to go free. I have talked with many men about Pullman fares and the taxes on them. There is almost universal condemnation, not because of the money that Is paid but of the way in which 1t is collected.

In a recent issue of The Herald
and News we gave partial list OF
the institutions of the county and the
dividends that they were paying and
among the number was the Bank of
Whitmire. It was first set up IN
blank, that is the capital and divi-
dend were left blank until we could
get the correct information. The
paragraph in some way was not cor
rected and it was printed blank.
This is one Of the prosperous young
banks of the county in one OF the
best towns in the state and it paid a
dividend of s per cent. on it's capital
of $4,000. The statement publish
ed today shows that it has surplus
and undivided profit of $29, ,104.51
and deposits Of s398,9e3.31 and
something over 100000 in cash. The
total of the statement is over $780,
900. A mighty fine statement for
any bank and especially for one so
recently organized.

The statement for the Bank of Po-
maria was sent for the last issue Of
the paper but in some way was mis-
placed either in the office here or
somewhere else. We had to get du-
plicate which delayed it's publication.
It is stated so that the blame may not
rest on the bank. 1t is good state
ment this bank makes and while we
do not know that it is thing to be
proud of that you have not borrowed
any money but if a bank can do that
thing and accommodate its patrons it
is doing mighty well and that is
what we understand this bank has
done. But it always seemed to US
that the matter Of lending money was

Since writing the above we have
hurriedly glanced over the annual
message of Governor Cooper and he
makes the recommendation contained
in the address of Mr.. Cothran as to
the permanent appropriations or the
appropriations for buildings and so
on. The idea is to make loan suf-
fcient to do the permanent work for
ten years and thus stretch the
amount over that period.

the main business of bank and if it
could borrow money at a low rate
and loan it at higher and of course
on good security that it was good
business to do so. In other words as
we heard banker say the other day
it was evidence at least that the bank
had good credit and could borrow as
well as lend. But Mr.. John C. Aull
has done mighty well for this bank
at Pomaria and really saved it's very
existence and now it is paying good
dividends and has good surplus.

- = RI g. .1 I.-
DIR. T. II. Dreher writes a very
readable article in The State which
we copy in the paper today. We
agree with "a great many things he
says. is true as he says, that Eve
are an oyergoverned people now.
The tax consumers will soon equal
the taxpayers if we do not slow
down, in our methods. We look too
much'to the government and too b.
tie to ourselves" All Of this issvery
true. There is too much tendency
to lock to the government for every
thing. In this country the idea should
be to be as little governed as possi-
i5le.s In fact that is our motto or the
principle upon which our government
is founded. And there is entirely too
much supervision of everything, by
the government, that is the way 1t
appear to us. But we 90 not agree
with the doctor on the revival of the
war board. Somehow it seems to us
that this is a good thing, # we un-
derstand what it means. The pur-
pose is, to give the people who are
begging for food and clothing an ops
portuaify to go to work and make
what they need, and the opportunity
to pay for it rather than beg for 1t,
and the only way they have to get
what they want and what we have,
except to beg for it, is to extend to
them the credit so that they may
have the opportunity to go to work
and pay us for it. It is too big an
undertaking for the individual and
the government could do this and at
the same time help US and the starv-
ing and naked peoples who are suf-
fering from the devastations OF the
war.
