Tax Exempt Securities.

The surprising decline in income
tax payments during the peak OF the
prosperity period, reveals how many
wealthy people have escaped taxation
in large measure by buying tax
emption bonds.
Is it good business for the public
authorities to keep on issuing bonds
with this privilege? The reason for
so doing has been, that the exempt
bonds bring a higher price. But pro-
badly the public gets the worst end
of the bargain. The higher price
paid does not compensate for losses
in taxes.
1t would not be fair to tax secur-
tiles already issued on an exempt
basis, without making compensation
to owners for the higher price paid
to get the exemption privilege. But
it seems doubtful policy to allow
any more of them to be issued. The
great amount of these securities
available permits a. big class of
wealthy people to escape fair tax
alton.

UNCLE AND NIECE TRYING TO-
MARRY.
Kamrar People Wrought Up Over
the Case.

Webster City, lathe town of
Kamrar, just south of this city is all
wrought up over the attempt of N. p.
Thompson, shoemaker, to marry his
niece, Miss Anne Stefferson. Thomp-
son is 66 years old and widower.
Miss Stefferson is but 81.
The couple got marriage license
here, saying nothing about their re-
lationship. They went to the home of
a local clergyman who, in the course
of the ceremony and the filling out
of the necessary papers, discovered
that the man was the uncle of his
intended wife. The minister lost no
time in revoking the half finished
marriage and explained to the couple
that they could not be married legal
ly in Iowa.
They interviewed Judge G. d.
Thompson, who explained to them
that the laws of the state are clear
on the matter.
The grand jury is now in session
in this city and it is said that they
are giving some time to an investl-
cation of the affair.

THE INCOME TAX RETURNS.
The Law Should be Simplified for the
People.

The time for the annual struggle
with income tax returns has now
come, and for people whose business
is at all complicated it is a bother
some task. 1t is made worse by the
remoteness of the federal government
and the fact that if errors are made,
it may be difficult or tedious to get
them corrected.
Everything possible ought to be
done to simplify the law, so that
most people could make out their re-
turns without having to hunt up a
federal deputy to get the law inter-
pretated.
But while the job of getting out
these returns may be an unwelcome
one, everyone should see the neces-
sity of making a fair and honest re-
port. The man who tries to cheat
Uncle Sam by unfairly manipulating
his income figures, is just about the
same type as the yellow slackers who
lodged the draft. He is not willing
to take up his end of the load Of
government, and he shifts off part of
it to people who may be less able
than he to carry the load.
Burdensome as the tax bill may
seem, it is hard to see how the
country could have got by the war
without this kind of tax and heavy
one. Otherwise a much greater debt
would have had to be incurred, at
still higher rates of interest.
The tax is heavy on people of
large wealth, and lighter assess
ment would have less effect to dis
courage enterprise. But the wealthy
people are able to pay it without
suffering, and they still can live in
luxury. They can well be thankful
for a government that has protect
ed their fortunes through a world
convultion, and they should pay
their assessments smilingly.
Also let the little fellow with an
income just over the margin, come
across with his little assessment
with a cheerful good nature. He
ought to be thankful that he earns
enough to come within the tax pay
ing class.

Weekly Papers, 81.

Anamosa Journal: The 81 weekly
newspaper has made its appearance
in the west. The almost uniform
price in Iowa is g or more. The
cost of print paper remains at a
point five times what it cost before
the war. 1t is doubtful # there can
ever be a return to prewar prices in
any line of business. The worldwide
initiation of currency has created a
permanently higher price level.
When proper readjustment has
been. reached it will be found that
the newspaper is the cheapest SER
vice that comes to any home. 1t
costs you less than the postage

FARM BUREAU GLEANINGS.
Correction Regarding Premiums in
Fruit Show Last Week.

Last week we reported that Mrs.
H. Lovesteun won first premium and
seconds on apples. This was an err
ror due to improper recording in the
entry books. This should have been
recorded for John Harter, DEBORAH.
The error was discovered and recti-
fled last week, but too late to make
the correction in the newspapers.
Mrs. Lovesteun did not exhibit fruit
at the show, but since the writer
did not know this there was no way
in discovering the error since there
apparently was no error. 1t was not
matter of changing the awards,
but merely matter of incorrect en-
tries on the records.
Farm Management Short Course at
Hesper and CastaIia.
Next week we will have with us
a specialist from Iowa State College
in farm management work. We will
be at Hesper on February / and at
Castalia on February 2.
This work known as Farm Manage
ment Short Course consists of full
days work in the nature of school.
Anyone interested must be on hand
alto o'clock in the forenoon at eth
er place and prepare to stay with us
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The
work in the forenoon is absolutely
essential to the work in the after
noon so let no one plan to come in
the afternoon who cannot be there in
the forenoon. The afternoon session
will be of little value to anyone who
cannot be present during the fore
noon.
Anyone especially interested in
methods of keeping simple farm ac-
counts and in summarizing and
studying the results at the end of
the year for the improvement and
advancement of the farm business
are welcome at either of the schools.
Remember Hesper hall for Tuesday
