IMPORTANT CHANGE IN
INCOME TAX LAW

Columbia, Dec. 10.-W. R. Brad.
lley, collector of internal revenue, is
today issuing q, statement to the pub.
lie, in which he calls attention to a
number of important changes in the
income tax law, brought about by
recent amendments passed by con.
Igress.
Probably the most important
change since income returns wefe
made last year," Mr.. Bradley states,
"is the requirement that every per.
son whose income is $4,000 or more,
gross, make return, regardless of
his exemptions or his deductions. A
man whose gross income is $4,000,
but who may have exemptions or de-
ductions which would excuse him
from paying the tax, has to make a
return this year, just the same, and
there's heavy penalty for failure to
make this return. This is a radical
change from last year, and unless it is
needed, some good citizens are likely
to fix themselves in trouble with the
government. The important thing to
remember is that if the gross income
is $4,000 or over, there must be q
return, regardless of exemptions.
Regarding incomes of less than
$4,000, Mr.. Bradley states that there
are no changes in the law in this re-
gard. Every income," he says "ot
more than $1,000. must be returned,
if the Garner is single and every in
come of $4,000 or more must be re-
turned5 if the Garner is married. The
only change in this class Of incomes
is that the man or woman who is
married is not liable to tax unless
the income is $4,000 or more"

BOARD WELCOMES
INJUNCTION SUIT
Important That Authority in Rail-
way Matters Be Finally And
Definitely Fixed -

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE injunc
ton suit of the Pennsylvania rail
road against the United States rail
road labor board is welcomed be
cause it will definitely decide the
boards powers and the manner ir
which it's decisions can be enforced
Judge R. M. Barton, chairman Of
the railroad labor board, said in 8
statement tonight. Asserting that
it is important to all and particu,
larly to the general public that the
boards powers be fixed, Judge Bar
toms statement said:
"There are two conflicting views
as to the proper construction and
effect of the labor section Of the
transportation act. One is that the
board has only advisory powers and
that it's decision can only be made
effective so far as approved and
enforced by public opinion. The
other is 6hat they are legally bind
ing and can be enforced through
the courts. Whichever view is cor
rect it is important that the boards
powers be definitely and authorita'
lively settled"
The injunction issued yesterday
by Judge K. M. Lands, enjoining
the board from handing down a de-
cision in disputed shop crafts cases
affecting the Pennsylvania. expired
today and was not continued when
the board promised to hold it's de.
cision in abeyance pending a hear.

MEXlCANS SEIZE BOAT

Fine Paid and Crew Robbed. Ac
cording to Report.
Washington Dec. :8.-The Ameri
can fishing boat mabel" Of Lo'
Angeles~was seized early this weel
about five miles off the Mexican
coast by a vessel of the Mexican pa
troll and another Of American regis
try but manned by Mexican soldiers
the State Department was advised tc
day by American Consul Burdette al
Ensenda Mexico.
The mabel" was subsequently re.
leased after q fine had been paid the
amount of which is not known. Con.
sui Burdette added that three of the
crew had been held by the Mexicahs
pending the payment Of an additional
fine. The State Department an.
nounced it had made representations
to the Obregon government at Mexl.
co City on the case.
The Olga D., the vessel of Amer.
can registry, the message said, fired
with machine guns on the Mabel
before it was seized and the crew
were then roughly treated and rob,
bed by the men Of the "Olga D." and
the "Tecate" Of the Mexican patrol

carrying contraband arms and mum,

FINAL COTTON FIGURES
:. MORE THAN EXPECTED

Inmates during the growing season
1t may be we'll, therefore, to explair
the principal factors which account
for the difference between the early
promise and the last estimate.
Acreage.
/. Persistent and widespread pro
paganda at planting time for re-
duction in cotton acreage of from SO
to SO per cent as compared with 1920
2. Propaganda supported by large
carryover from previous season, low
prices below cost of production in
1920, reduced foreign consumption
and demand with great financial loss
to growers in 1920, and lack of cred
it at planting time.
8. Acreage reduction reported at
planting time by growers affected by
propaganda.
4. Lack of travel funds prevent
ed statistic;ans of the bureau from
personally inspecting and checking
acreage in their states in 1919, 1920
and first half of 1921.
S. Crop reporting board forced
to accept growers report of acreage
reductions, which were based by pro-
pagarda and generally believed.
6. Since July field statisticians
have been able to travel and their
reports indicate that the growers re-
ports on June rs exaggerated the re-
duction in acreage. 1t appears that
while many growers actually reduc-
ed their acreage, others took ad-
vantage. Of the propaganda
sentiment for the reduction and pro-
ceeded to include their own acre
ages
z. The estimate of the acreage in
cultivation of June rs, was correct
when checked against data submitted
by growers at that time, but it now
appears that the data upon which
the estimate was based were mis-
leading, the acreage was under esti-
mated, and the crop reporting board
was deprived of the check afforded
by personal travel and inspection OF
field statisticians until the last half
of the crop year.
