INCOME TAX
Returns Show Few Are
Favored

Observation-Disclosures reports
on 1919 income tax returns, issued by
the internal revenue department,
bring out two points. First, the rea-
son for opposition to income tax laws,
and second, the low income of the vast
majority of the people of this coun-
try.
Under the law of single men with an
income-or wages-of less than 81 900
and married men with an income of
less than $4,000 are exempt from the
tax. The report shows that out of a
population of approximately 100000
900, there were but 15,332,76O per-
sons who came within the law This
includes business men, the professions
and all others whose income is over
ST 900 if single, and $4,000 if married.
The total revenue obtained by the
government was $1,269, 100000, or an
increase of $11 ,901 900 over 1918. In
dividuals with net incomes of $1,000,-
900 or over increased from 60 in 1914
to 120 in 1915, and then 206 in 1918.
From that year they decreased to 141
in 1917 and 67 in 1918. The present
report shows that 65 persons had an
income of $1,000,000 or more in 1919.
These stupenduous incomes made
it possible for the net income of the
15,332,760 persons making reports to
average $3,734.05, with $230.08 the
average tax paid. The 65 persons
with an income of $1,OOO,OOO paid an
average of 81 ,523 ,492 each.

TRUST DODGES LIBEL
SUITS

New York.-The attack on the inter-
church world movements report on
the steel strike has been withdrawn
from circulation, and attempts to Sc
cure copies of this 100-page booklet
have failed. One churchman said:
apparently the steel corporation
has weighed the matter and chosen
to avoid the libel suits that might
follow general circulation of the doc
ument."
The attack against the steel report
was first privately circulated among
business men and later was presented
to the senate committee on education
and labor. A large portion of the at
tack consists of reflections on the
clergymen who probed the steel
strike.

aid, president of this concern, praises
the company "union," which, he says,
has weathered the crucial period and
proved that industrial democracy can
be applied. The industrial "democ-

"house" and Senate" whose decisions
can be vetoed.
The official puts especial stress on
$375,016 dividends distributed to 5000
workers during the past year. This
is approximately $1.44 a week, which
unions secure without even making

DOESN'T AMERICANIZE

Bayonne, N. 1.-THE wave of Amer
icanization that swept the country a
short time ago has made little head
way among the unorganized foreign

retarded, says the chairman of well
fare work, by shyster lawyers and
real estate sharks.

ALDERMEN TO ACT
 ON DAYLIGHT BILL;
 WILL SET THE DATE

person daylight saving is but a few
 summers old, the system has in re-
 aiity been effectiva in Connecticut
 for 2tS years. Hartford was the
 first town to practice sun economy.
 and it is of further interest tha :
 Hartford today is one of the strong
 est opponents of the modern saving
 methods. It was ine164S seven years
 after the town had been established, that town meeting decided that the tolling of a bell an hour before day break should arouse the citizens to
 be up and about their daily tasks at least one-half hour before the dawn of each new day. Fifteen minutes after the ringing of the original | ''reveille," a light should be seen in every house, and with the passing of another fifteen minutes, at least one member of the household must be engaged in the discharge of the day S duties. In the event that the towns men failed Ito conform with the prac- | tice, fines were imposed on all of l fendera-

Hun Zoo Pets Are
 In Town
Ringling Animals Make First Visit to This
 City.

Quite a group of German notab1es today began the process of naturali- zation. They are German natives, but neutrals just the same, and with a few square meals, som ething that was lacking in Germany, their loyalty will be assured. Today the Barnum & Bailey-Ring ngling Show received on a. barge, from Germany, via New York, probably the most expensive similar assignment of wild animals that ever came across the pond be- fore after the war.
 John Ringing, the senior of the only two living Ringing Brothers, has. spent the greater part of the winter abroad in search of features of various kinds for the big combined show: and his tour was not in vain. The famous Carl Hagenbeck zoo in ingen-Hamburg was forced under the hammer and MT. inging has puF- chased the pick of the trained wild animals that went far towards making ths the most famous zod in the world.
 Conditions during and since the war have made it impossible for the Carl Hagenbeck interests to properly Iced or care for the animals, and the substitute foods were not agreeable to the big beasts. Hence the forced sale and breaking up of the famous collection. MT. Ringing has brought to this country, together with a. mum Der of German trainers who will handle the bruteS entour, a collection of animal acts, such as never seen before in this country, including the only group of trained camel in the world. A large number of tigers, lions, zebras and other cat animals were in the group which also included some of the handsomest horses and ponies that ever passed through the streets of the city.
 A large crowd was attracted to the Stratford avenue docks to watch the unloading of the animals and the transfer of the shifting cages to pole and stringer wagons of the circus for hauling to the winter quarters on Norman street.
 The work was in charge of John Paterson, boss animal man of the Barnum show for years.
 The shipment came across the water on the liner Hawaiian, and the acts will be features when the show opens it's 1921 season with the annual engagement in Madison Equare Gar den, New York City, on Easter Sat
 Hrday, March 26.
 The shipment which arrived this morning included 26 horses, six bears, eight tigers, six lions, monkeys and snakes. Plenty of excitement was furnished by Q stallion which at tempted to play snare drum sole on the side of his stall. The anima, kicked and bit enthusiastically, and finally succeeded in throwing himself l on the floor.
 i One of the tigers is the 1arges beast of its kind in captivity, meas uring eight feet, five inches in length l The keepers who attended the ami mals on the trip say that none of tht l beasts were sick during the journey 1 Another load of animals is expect l ed to arrive here late today or to. morrow Thee ircus recently pur 1 chased a giril1a in Europe, and thi: animal will travel to the United 1 States first class, in a cabin with 2 special attendant.

Washington Pays It's Homage To Clark,
 Great MissOuriUzl

overfiowed into the parks and grounds surrounding the Capitol
 Eulogies of Champ Clark were spoken by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri and Representative James R. Mann of Illinois. Eloquent as were their tributes they did not more than justice to the great American heart which lay before them in the flower covered casket.
 The funeral services were as simple and unostentatious had been the man and his life. There was a prayer for the dead by the Rev. James Shera Montgomery. chaplain of the House; songs by a quartet; the eulo-. gies; other songs by g. quartet. and then the beneGiction by the Rev. Carl WiIfiey of Missouri, from Champ. Clarlz's own Missouri.
 At about 2 D. m. the body was to. be re,ytoyed to the Union Station wherSit will be placed On the special trainf that will carry it and the great Confessional funeral cortege to BoTling Green, Mo-, where final inzs terlnent is to be- made. At St. Lou the body will lie in state toIlorre afternoon.

Harding To Get Control
 Of Senate

shington-Harmony is expected to prevail at a conference today of the 59 senators composing the in creased Republican majority of the new Senate.
 The conference will, it is predicted, result in the control of the Senate by Republican senators sympathetic with poses being materially strengthened.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, is to be chosen again the Republican leader and chairman of the Republi- can caucus of the Senate. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, the Repub- hcan whip and vice chairman of the caucus.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa. is slated to succeed himself as president pro tenn of the Senate.
 Reelection or re-appoinym yment of other Republicans as officeYs of the Republican organization of of the Senate itself, who were chosen when the Republicans regained control of the Senate two years ago-is antici- pated:
 These include David S. Barry, ser geant at arms, and George A. Sander son. secretary of the Senate
 There is some talk of contests over committee chairmanships and mem- berships, but it is believed Senator Lodge and his associates who include Senators PenroSe and Knox of Penn sylvania, will put through the pro- gram agreed upon by them. Any renewal of opposition to Sen ator Penrose as chairman of the Sen- ate Finance Committee, or to other senators of the Republican "Old Guard" heading other committees such as signalized the organization Of the Senate two years ago. is not re- garded as probable, or likely to get anywhere.

 Some members of the cabinet said that they were hopeful that the nego- tiationS would not be broken off
 The cabinet has made it fairly evil dent that it will back up Foreign Minister Simons to the limit in his re- ply to Premier Lloyd George The experts who have been advising the cabinet are understood to have taken the position that Dr. SimonS chose the only course open Most Of these experts are said to hold the opinion That of the two evils the penalties are preferable to the Paris indemnity de- cision. Many Germans are convinced 1fon of German territory in any event whether Germany meets the allied indemnity terms or not, "conse- quently signing the conditions would only be postponing the inevitable"
 London.-The German delegates to the indemnity conference were en- gagged on new proposals today whlcn were said to equal three-quarters of The amount oL ASpSiL SiNiOIS by the Allies. A long memorandum was received by the Germans from Berlin during the morning.
 Earl Beatty, admiral of the British fleet, held a conference with Pre- 1mier Lloyd George this morning and it was reported that they discussed sea measures to be put in effect to enforce the Allied indemnity decis- ions.

\ Washington-The homage that might have been paid to a President of the United States|which he al- most was-was paid today to Champ Clark, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
 The body of the great Missourian lay in state in the well of the House, where for more than a quarter of a entury he served with distinction and honor. About the simple casket holding the remains there came dur ing the day Republicans and Demo- crats alike and bowed their heads i'll respect.
