ONE CENT INCOME TAX
CTampa Times.l

You read about numerous people sending Uncle
Sam one cent as first quarterly payment on their
income taxes, One stenographer mailed a money
she'd paid for perfume, silk stockings, ;heater
tickets and the like These stamps represented
taxes already paid and, if you kept receipt
could be deducted from income which tax was
paid on the principle of not paying taxes on
taxes.
The income tax has been ii blessing if Cor no
other reason than that it has taught people to
keep books
William II. Edwards, collector of internal rev.
enue for Manhattan. puts il this way: Its in
teresting to hear people discussing, trying to re-
fresh their memories as to the amount of luxury
taxes they paid-for instance. the tax on theater
tickets. In one corner Of the corridors came
across man and woman debating how much
luxury tax they paid on different things in fur
nishing their home"
People like corporations. are developing a gen
ius for keeping trace of items they can deduct in
paying income tax.
Here is opportunity to learn scientific
thrift.
Every individual, every family, should 90 ON
budget basis. If you keep track of your expendi
lures at the end of few months you can run
your eyes over the list and the items that can be
pared down will be so obvious that they fairly
slap you in the face.
Then knowing what to cut you can install a
budget-appropriate much out of every pay
envelope for food much for clothing so much
for amusement and the like-and make it a point
to bank invest the balance

GROUNDS OF OPTIMISM

In yesterdays Ielegram. in letter written for
the 7 ampa Tribune, M. F Hetheringtor sets ont in
eloquent and convincing language the grounds upon
which rests the optimism felt by the people of Polk
county He shows that this feeling is not mere
"whising to keep up courage, but is backed by
substantial facts which make this one of the most
fortunate sections in the United States.
Commenting on it editoriay the Tribune says
IN. F. Hetheringon, of Lakeland proves in
his article In this mornings Tribune on Optimism
and the Future that he is a true optimst. He
speaks of one citrus development alone, within a
few miles CT Lakeland, which in few years will
produce more citrus fruit than the entire state Of
Florida gave twenty years ago. And in that same
county we find him planting and buying more
groves with his own money, in full confidence that
there will likewise be greater demand for the
citrus products of Florida in few years than even
the immense development going satisfy.
That's what we call real optimism!
Mr.. Hetheringon is happy in his language
when he speaks Of the air Of south Florida per-
meated with optimism, its brcezes are laden with
the wonderful odor of the orange blossom The
scent OF the orange blossom is the promise Of the
future. he optimis scents the perfume of the
bloom, then, looking intently down vista of
months, gllmpscS the oranges ripened on the trees
and the thousands of cars OF them rushing swiftly
out to appease the demand that is every year grow
ing more inslsten
y ] o this may be added that Polk county future
does not rest wholly upon the citrus fruit Though
acknowledged to be the greatest citrus region in
Florida. and, hence, in the United States, it has
other promising agricultural and horticultural re-
which only need further development to
attain the first rank So long as the sun warns its
air. and Its palm trees are famed by cooling
breeLes, and its lakes smile an invitation to nger
on their shores Polk county will be cherished by
an ever-ncreasing number of residents and visitors

conception of Paradise

the sheep that moved the white house lawn had.
And the acknowledgment as an ambassador of
a man who didn't represent any government at all
was an absurdity as we'll as an impertinence We
do not think it proper for the United States to
express any preference for the form or the nature
of one government in Russia another. We
make our government what we wish If govern
ments depend for their iust powers on the con-
sent of the governed we are bound to concede to
the Russian people the same right.
We think the government of the United States
should quit making faces at Russia. 1t is an un-
digniied style of warfare but it is the only kind
we wage against Russia 1t used to be said
that the Chinese fought in that way but it does
not suit the temper of the American people.
All this leads up to the conclusion that if Rus
STA has anything to sell that we wish to buy
wishes to buy and has the money to pay for any
thing we have to sell we should trade with her
refusal to trade because of dsapproyal of
the Russian form of government would be merely
cutting off our noses to spite our own faces
England has entered into trade arrangement
with Russia. When We refuse to do the
thing we injure ourselves If none of the entente
nations would trade with Russia the result would
be that Germany would enjoy monopoly of her
trade. Now that England has entered into an
arrangement, if refuse we are giving Russian
trade to England and Germany.
The Russians can't threaten our form of govern
ment by trading with people. They can't even
attempt to destroy our institutions except by send
ing emissaries to this country and if we do not
know how to deal with these it is time we were
learning how. The Russians claim, that they are
not now attempting to interfere with the form of
government of any outside nation and we have
no indications in this country that they are
making such an attempt. Since we can't help CON
ditions that exist in Russia should treat that
country like any other. that is not war is
the greatest of follies except perhaps an unnec-
essary war that is war

WORTH TRYING

The publicity bureau Of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, in order to boost the sale of canned
salmon, has got out sheet Of recipes for preparing
salmon for the table, and is sending copy Of this
sheet, which is in very convenient form for clipping
Of course. to the papers of every part of the United
States AS the article advertised is good, and the
recipes all workable, the temptation.to clip
them is strong, especially as there is not line in
any of them that suggests that it is publicity
matter.
Why not try the same scheme. on an extern
slve scale for citrus fruit PUBLICITY 1t has been
tried, to an extent, already. we believe. but not
in the clean-cut fashion adopted by the salmon
publicity men. There are hundreds of dishes
which can be made up out of citrus fruits, or
which are improved by the addition of their pulp
or Juices. Every single recipe for one of those
dishes is advertisement for Florida fruit, though
1t does not contain the pane of the state nor ref.
erence to any organization or grower

EASTER

Although the season of Easter comes with ever
increasing regularity and rapidity to those whose
life-span is well along the way, yet the message is
ever new, the lesson of hope satisfying. In
this brief layman's sermon it might be we'll to
stress the fact that in world torn by conflicting
interests where there is so much of sel6shness and
greed and suffering because of man sin. there is
always that haven of soacc and comfort, the Risen
Lord 1t is significant fact that thoughtful men
and women are more and, more turning their faces
toward Calyery and the empty tomb in seeking
a proper solution of the problems of the day,
There would seem to be no hope other than in that
same Jesus whose resurrection is to be appropri
atey and solemnly celebrated tomorrow. If men
would but understand the spirit of Easter there
would be less CT se6shness and moro of the milk
Of human kindness and tolerance.

WHAT IS TRUTH

his ancient conundrum of Pilates is more diff
hcult to answer than ever in view of recent de-
yelopments with regard to Russia All our nfor-
nation on conditions in the land of the soviets
comes either from or through the governments of
Europe and America. From them we have heard
that Bolshevism is barbansm. that regime of muir
der prevails Russia that the existence of the red
government is to civilization and that as
Christian nations France, England and America
though restraining their natural impulses to destroy
1t by force never think of doing anything
which would directly or indirectly encourage it.
This view has been accepted in America. But
how is ii affected by the virtual recognition of
Lenine and Trotsky's rule by Great Britain and
the strong prospect that similar steps will be taken
at Washington What must the public conclude
Are the facts altogether different from what the
people had supposed If so, the governments men
Toned above guilty of a gross offence against
humanity in permitting the worldwide Islander of
the Boshevik. Or do the governments, recogniz-
ing the lnquity of Boshevism nevertheless put the

We cant conceive of any form of government

paltry gains to be secured through trade with it7
There is no data at hand for independent judg-
ment as to the actual conditions in Russia. No great
historical event since the beginning Of civilization
has ever been so thoroughly enshrouded in mystery
as the progress of the soviet CONTROL and the de-
c:sion CT the g.ca: commercial powers to establish

mass of uncertainties connected with it.

President Creedon is not making
program, with, the exception of the

regents will authorize initiation Of
them, leaving arrangements for the
completion of the program to othe
meetings. since it is known to pro-
'ias Tor expansion on wide scale.
"hen the regents meet, George e.
hamilton of Washington, dean Of the
law school. will make it very plain
tnat additional space at the legal in
snitution Is imperative for next year.
Inc ADDITION Of day course with $50
with an unsual quota of applications,
VIII make 1t necessary to turn away
many students next year unless ad-
diIionai classroom space Is provided
!. IN: Inc same condition exists on the
n n.li.op where quarters are even more
cr1wdeo than at the professional
scnoois. The college is limited to
practically 500 students on account of
the lack of dormitories. 1t is known
that one or the proposals in the build
ing program is the erection Of a large
dormitory building on the now dis
carded athletic field. In fact. the pro-
posal to build the stadium was the di-
rect result of the taking over of the
athietlc field for transformation into
part OF the college campus proper.
georgetown University closed for
the holidays with approximately $500
students enrolled. With additional
space it is said the college could
easily enroll a total of 700 students,
compared with about 500 now, while the
law. foreign service, dental and medical
could each admit a substantial number
OF OF students above their present quotas.
The foreign service school. which has
only one downtown building, is really
more cramDed for accommodat tons
than the law school. In the two
y"ars of its existence it has tripIed in
size.
II the board of regents sanctions a
building plan that will assure down.
town dormitories for the professional
students and an additional dormitory
building on the hilltop, together with
sufhclent classroom space. it will
mean the launching of plans with an
ultimate view to centering the pro-
fessional schools on Georgetown hill.
Aside from the question of dormi-
tories, the athletic stadium will be
one of prime consideration. AS the
grandstands have been taken down
on the old athletic field and it is
necessary now to rent the American
League Park for big athletic events
the question of the stadium becomes
one Of prime necessity. 1t is believed
the regents will give authority to the
university officials to go ahead with
plans for pushing the work.
