Prohibitions Get-Rich-Q -Quicks.
(st. Louis Post Dispatch.)

kCe' lAoolo AOSS DASP~NS'
A number of prohibition enforce
ment officers in New York have been
shorn Of their royal prerogatives and
reduced to the serfdom of commoners
because, it is explained, they have
displayed evidences of too SUBJ
stantial prosperity. They have
shown a penchant for automobiles
and diamonds, and investigation is
reported to have disclosed bank ac-
counts of inexplicable corpulency.
But why should such signs land
omens occasion dismissal from the
service? Was it not to be the mission
of prohibition to effect precisely such
transformations in fortune? Was
not poverty to be banished, along
with sin and sorrow? And if a
limousine were not to be in everyone's
back yard the promise assuredly was
given that we should all wear dia-
monds.
Those prohibition enforcememt
officers, it would seem, are simply
living examples of the doctrines
beauty and efficacy. Instead of being
cashiered, the logical thing, apparent
ly, would be to exhibit them before
the world as proof of prohibitions
most sanguine hopes.
Is it possible that the propagandists
do not believe prohibition to be the
miracle worker they have described
it to be? If not, why is it that men
who getrich quick by prohibition get
fired?

What Did You Make In 1920?


Work has begun on the collection
of the income tax for the year 1920.
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, is addressing to
every person in the United States the
question, "What was your net income
for 192O?" The answer permits of no
guesswcrk. Every single person
whose net income for 1920 was $1,000
or more and every married person
whose net income was $4,000 or more
is required to file return under oath
with the collector of internal revenue
for the district in which he lives on
or before March 15, 1921.
The penalty for failure is fine of
not more than 81, 900 and an additional
assessment of % per cent of the
amount of tax due. For willful re-
fusal to make a return the penalty is
fine of not more than 1000 or not
exceeding one years. Imprisonment,
or both together with the costs of
prosecution. A similar penalty is
provided for making a false or
fraudulent return, together with an
additional assessment of so per cent
of the amount of tax evaded.
The income tax applies to women
as well as men. Husband and wife
must consider the income of both
plus that of minor dependent children,
and if the total equals or exceeds
$4,000 return must be filed. A
minor who has net>income in his
own right of $1,000 or more must file
separate return. To be allowed the
$4,000 exemption married person
must be living with husband or wife
on the last day of the taxable year
December31, 1920. Divorces, persons
separated by mutual agreement
widows and widowers, unless they
are the sole support Of others living
in the same household, in which case
they are allowed the $4,000 exemp-
tion granted the head OF a family, are
entitled only to 1000 exemption.
| The,normal tax rate for 1920 is the
same as for 1914 per cent on the
| first $4,000 of net income above the
exemption and per cent on the re
naming net income. This applies t
every citizen and resident OF tn,
I United States. In addition to tn,
normal tax surtaz is imposed npol
net income in excess Of s5, 900.

Matters of Taste in Election Laws.
tM!ssouri STATE journal. }

fM!ssouTi State Journal.)
Mr.. Hyde has called several con.
ferences for next week, among them
being non partisan gathering to be
devoted to a consideration Of the
revision of Missouri's election laws.
1t is announced that all Mr.. Hyde
hopes to accomplish by these con-
ferences is to get certain people to-
gether, and develop an interest in
new laws upon certain subjects. He
is to appear at each conference, make
a speech and retire, leaving the con-
ference to work out its own salvation.
This is indeed an interesting program,
and will be awaited with more than
ordinary expectancy.
1t is isregrettable, however, that the
Governor elect has not invited Sena-
tor Spencer to attend the conference
on election laws. 1t will be recalled
that Commissioner r. E. O'Malley of
the Kansas City Election Board, on
September 27, 1920, called Mr.. Hyde's
attention to some very remarkable
suggestions of the Senator as to
legislation touching elections. Mr..
Spencer, as Mr.. O'Malley pointed out,
directed letter on February 26, 1919,
to the Honorable John Schmoll of
lamented memory, in which he pro-
posed that restrictive legislation be
enacted affecting Kansas City, adding
that he did not think "that we would
want some of it in st. Louis" The
Senator informed Mr.. Schmoll that
he was writing after conference
with one of the owners of the Kansas
City Star!
Possibly, since Kansas City went
Republican, both Spencer and the
Star may have decided no legislation
is now needed to insure "fair elec-
tions" in Jackson County. But, as
the Senator wrote Schmoll, there
was time when both the Star and
Mr.. Spencer thought certain legisla-
! ton would "help lot in Kansas
City!" Now, forsooth, Kanras City
may be able to get along With the
same laws that govern st. Louis in
the conduct of elections, but Mr.
Spencer ought to be on hand to tell
this conference next week what he
meant by laws that would sshelp a
lot" in Kansas City, but "some Of
which, he did not think "we would
want in st. Louis"
And, if Spencer is invited, so also
should Mr., O'Malley be summoned.

Peoples Bank in Hands Of Bank Examiner.
tDe Soto Republican,


Bank Examiners Seibert and Wall
are in charge of the Peoples Bank of
this city and are busy checking up
the affairs of the bank. They came
here on Wednesday of last week and
Monday morning posted notice on
the door of the bank reading: This
Bank in hands of State Bank Exam
iners.'
There are many wild rumors afoat
but absolutely nothing definite can be
obtained. 1t is the general opinion,
however, that the bank will pay every
doller and that it will again resume
business.
The checking process will not be
completed for several days yet and
until that is finished no body will be
able tospeak authoratively.
The bank has deposits of nearly
100000, has capitol of $4,000 and
surplus of like amount with loans and
discounts of 100000 and when ex-
amined last September was in good
condition and it is not thought to be
in very bad condition now. 1t seems
that some large overdrafts is about
the only irregularity thus far brought
out. This, we understand, has prac-
tically all been made good.
1t is thought that if Mr.. Jones, the
cashier, could have been induced to
come back and assist in checking up
matters, that the bank would not
have closed at all, as it is clearly
evident that there is no defalcation
other than possibly bad paper and the
excessive overdrafts.
The people should remember that
when the bank opens for business
that it will be absolutely solvent and
that their money is perfectly safe.
No depositor should withdraw his
funds as the institution will need the
moral support of the people.
This bank has been a big factor in
the community and is more badly
needed now than ever. Messrs Lepp,
Coxwell, Auerswald, Roughly and
| Walther, the officers and directors,
are going the limit to save the bank,
SO let's all stand, by them with our
support, whether great or small.
| The American Bank and the Far
mers and Citizens Bank are lending
their support as far as possible and
if the people will get behind the prop
osition the Peoples Bank will open its
doors and continue to be a great
asset to the entire county. 4
