Frierson's Opinion, to be
Ignored, Says Treasury

Income tax schedules must be prepared and payments
made according to the law stands and not according to the
opinion of Solicitor General FrerSon in his argument be-
fore the Supreme Court which he conceded that the Gov
emen could not collect income taxes of capital assets sou

This the gist of the Treasury program, and collectors
have been instructed that whose returns reflect the

In brief, Mr. FrierSons opinion must be ignored and re-

mended the purchase OF nrst mort

security and I am wondering IL you

railroads and their employees. and
the unsatisfactory results OF the

Government ownership.
ship of railroads, long advocated by
the Hearst newspapers. become a
reality. the bondholders would be in
a better position than they now are.
We think that no one doubts this.
The values back OF railroad bonds of
the better sort have become impaired
in no way through the transient pres
ent difficulties.
II you have any railroad bonds we
should advise you to hold them. Next
to Government honds and guaranteed
first mortgages on real estate. they
are the best exponents of sound in
vestment in the world today.
Under the Federal law the holders
OF bonds OF solvent railroads are prac-
tically guaranteed their interest. but
with the vast majority of bonds there
is no guaranty necessary.

30 PER CENT WILL SHOW IN
CREASE.
According to those who have had
the preparation of. the schedules in
hand. 30 per cent of them will show
decrease from last year. The de-
creases are mostly, to be sure. In the
cases OF large taxpayers. but the
small taxpayer as well, for various
reasons, has not been able to make as
good a showing in pet income for 1920
as he did for 1919.
One reason for this is that the va
rious exemptions are better known
now, and the large taxpayer has
learned the little trick Of selling Sc
curities when they are low to estab-
lish low and then buying them back
perhaps the same day.

WATCH IS HOOKED
DOC" IS GUILTY

Doc Williams was arrested Sun
day on complaint of Joseph Johnson,
who left sixteen dollars and a watch
at his home Saturday afternoon while
he went out to frolic and when he
got back the watch was gone as were
the sixteen dollars. His mother, with
whom he was staying, said that she
thought Williams was the guilty par
ty. After the police were notified, they
began to keep watch out for Doc
and on Sunday afternoon, Chief of
Police Terry and Deputies Chnnon
and Dyal went out to the house where
Doc was stopping and when he saw
them coming, he jumped and ran.
Mr.. Dyal was almost too quick for
him and when Doc started down the
back stairs of the house, M. Dyal was
the ahead of him. When arrested the
colored "gemmin" had no watch on
his person but it was found upstairs
in the bathroom behind the bath tub.
He says that he just put it there as
he was tired of carrying it. He was
bound over to October term of court,
at which time he will have a little
tete-atete with the grand jury of the
county.

CHECKER CLUB
HOLDS FIRST MEETING

The Palatka Checker Club I'M
der the auspices of Community Ser

fire house last night. While there were
not many of the fans out, there was
great deal of enthusiasm and plans
were made for the ensuing months.
1t is hoped that the "old timer" will
brush up on this nobler game and
take advantage of this chance to get
some real competition. The club will
meet every Tuesday starting next
week. Meetings will be held at the
fire house. Any who have not turned
in their names may do so at any time.
A number have expressed the de-
sire to learn to play chess and Mr..
Chas. Bennett has agreed to teach
this game to all who care to learn.
There is also interest in checkers
the women and it is rumored that
these ladies will challenge the men
after they have run off their tourna-
ment. Anybody who desires to take
advantage of this excellent chance
to learn chess may turn in their
names to Mr.. Teeters or Mr.. Bennett.

THIEVES ARE ON
THE JOB AGAIN

Saturday night someone entered
three stores and houses in Palatka and
secured some valuables and little
money. The store of w. H. Wigg was
again robbed and the Office of the
Chero Cola plant was opened and a
few things taken out, and the pool
room of Joe Rivers on North Tenth
street entered. The matter was re-
ported to Deputy Livingston on Sun
day about noon and he immediately
got on the job, began running down
clues and soon had negro man un-
der arrest, who fitted the details as
they had been given him. Deputy
Livingston says that the footprints
of the man correspond to those which
were found around the burglarized
places.
Upon further investigation, it was
found that the negro under arrest has
very bad record, having just finish
ed serving an eighteen months SEN
tence on the county gang of Dade
County. The negro gives his name as
Cledo Sanders. The evidence against
him is not sufficient to send him up
for burglary, so he is being held on
charge of vagrancy.
