IN TAX NIGHTMARE
Levy on Santa Fe's Income To-
tails Nearly s4,OOO,OOO.
Shawnee County to Receive
$4,000 From Railroad.

The Santa Fe Railway company, and
other large corporations. are going
thru a nightmare. The time when
they must go deep into their Golfers
and square their tax accounts with
the federal and state authorities looms
just ahead. OF course, this is an I'M
pleasant task for the general public
and everybody else but it is bit more
trying where the amounts soar into
figures that are staggering to the aver
age individual.
The Santa Fe's income tax bill for
the year 1920, which is being paid this
year, amounts to nearly four million
dollars, according to E. L. Copeland,
secretary-treasurer of the company.
The fourth and final installment OF
this amount. which is s965,000 will be
paid Dec amber Is. The approximate
four million represents the income tax
of the entire Santa Fe system and is
all paid thru the internal revenue Of
flee at Wichita, Copeland says
Shawnee Co. Gets $4,000.
Paying out nearly a million dollars
at one clip wouldn't be SO bad for the
Santa Fe but before he can regain
his breath Copeland will have to pay
out one and a third million more in
state taxes. as December 20 is the last
day before the penalty is attached. or
this amount Shawnee county VIII re-
ceive approximately $50, 900. And this
is only the first half as the Santa Fe
will pay now and next spring a total
state tax for the year 1921 of ap-
proximately $2.7OO.o0O. The money
will be scattered among the seventy
one counties in the state in which the
Santa Fe owns property.

Colonel Mclean Announces.


Colonel Mclean Announces.
An entire new regiment of Kansas
National Guard field artillery is now
in the making and probably will be
completed early in 1922. according TO
Col. Milton R. Mclean, assistant adj

time ago.
A flood of applications for repre-
sentation in the new regiment have
been received at state national guard
headquarters. Just now organization
of units is beginning at Ottawa, Dodge
City, Fort Scott. Larned and Usage
City. Cities from which the most ac-
tive inquiries have been received in
clude Chanute, Fredonia, Caney, Min
neapolis, PleasantOn and Hays City.
There will be nearly enough units
to go around, however, for in addition
to the five firing batteries there is TO
be one headquarters battery (now be-
ing organized at Usage City,, two
service batteries, two headquarters de-
tachment and combat trains. one am
bulance company, one field hospital
and one military police company.

ice just now. three battalion headquar-
ters companies for the infantry are
to be organized in the near future.

son G. Lowrey, associate professor
of mental diseases in the Iowa State
university. DIR. Lowrey recited the
little attention which has been given
to the unhealthy mind, pointing out
that an insane person and a person
whose mind is not healthy, are not
the same.
Most of US have unhealthy minds
at one time or another" DR.. Lowrey
declared. Mental health means that
the mind reacts normaIly-that is, to
the rules which govern the head"
The war resulted in an increase in
the amount of mental disease, particu-
larly among young persons, Doctor
Lowrey declared. It also resulted in
more attention being given to mental
health. There is no doubt that men
tai disease is steadily on the increase
at the present time" Doctor Lowrey
declared.
He asserted that it is dangerous for
a person to be the only child in the
family. The only child or the child
separated from brothers and sisters
by several years is apt to become self
centered and unbalanced, he pointed
out.
THE Rotary club is a factor making
for good mental health" he declared.
'In the Rotary club the. man whose
nature leans over too far in one direc-
ton is apt to have the corners polished
ers. The same thing is true of the
child in the large family.
ct may be possible for some ind1-
viduals to work so hard that they be-
come mentally unwell, but I don't be-
lieve it." Doctor Lowrey declared. 1T
has always J en- my observation that
they go to sleep before they reach the
stage of mental disease.
Can't Keep From Worrying.
IVORY and anxiety may, however,
produce mental disase. To this end,
live a sane and unworried life. But
don't ask me how to keep from
worrying"
Doctor Lowrey recommended the
Rotarians to pursue some avocation,
to ride some hobby, in the endeavor
to dodge worry and anxiety, and keep
their minds healthy.
THE prevalence of mental disease
affects every one of you men. either
It is L p to you to look the problems in
the face and help us psychiatrists
solve it," Doctor Lowrey declared in
closing.
Before the commencement of the
doctors portion of the program,
Knowles Cooper, executive secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. A. at Washington, D. c.,
and vice president of the Washington
Rotary club. gave a short account of
th- ceremonies attending the inter
ment of the unknown soldier, which
recently took place at Arlington, and
in which representatives of Rotary
took q prominent part.

J doubts that there will be strong re-

the time arrives for action. But mod
crate opinion predicts that they will

ELS are convinced of the advisa bility
of joining later after testing the sin
certify of the Sim Fem. This was the
message brought from Belfast to Lloyd
George by Godfrey Shakespeare, the
premier's secretary who acted as spe-
cial courier in carrying the Irish
peace agreement to the Ulster. govern
ment.
The courier arrived from the Ulster
capital cary in the day and took
breakfast, with Premie- Lloyd George
at No. 10 Downing street. During
tn ecourse of the meal, he made a
long report upon conditions and polit-
ical views in the Unionist stronghold
of North Ireland
Mr.. Shakespeare is understood to
have told the premier that the Ulster
leaders will act cautiously. a state
ment borne out by the speech of S.r
James Craig, before the Ulster parlia-
ment on Wednesday afternoon, when
he said the Ulster government was
opposed to hasty acceptance.
Agree on Irish Unity.
From conversations he held with
Ulster Unionists, Mr.. Shakespeare was
convinced that while Ulster will not

unity They desire to give the Sim
tein time, perhaps as much as year,
to test their pledges and their ca
pacity for carrying out their guaran-
tees.
IF the Sim Fein makes gesture of
frierdliness towards Ulster l am sure
the Ulster Unionists are prepared to
reciprocal" said Secretary Shake
speare.
Altho alert and showing no outward
signs of WEAKNESS the premier decid-
ed to go to his country estate at
Chequers court for a twenty-four
hours rest before meeting Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, and Sir Ernest
Clark. under secretary of the treas
ury in the Ulster cabinet, on Friday.
The meeting will take place at No. 10
Downing street at IL o'clock.
Under the terms of the peace
treaty, Ulster is given the option of
uniting with the Irish free state or re-
naming out under her present status.
Sir james Craig is scheduled to
leave Belfast for London. He will
COM with Premier LLOYD George to-
morrow, to seek Iucidation over GER

Dublin but '.lsh officials do not an
uclpate that 1t will put any serious
obstacles i the way of acceptance of
the pact.
