TAX COLLECTIONS.

The annual rush Of eleventh hour
taxpayers in the treasurers office was
the feature Of last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday in the courthouse
Taxpayers came in crowds and LOT
hours at q time the lobby between the
Offices of the auditor and treasurer
was crowded, while checks and curren-
cy were being exchanged, for receipts
through the two wickets into the oihce
Of the treasurer. .,.
Treasurer Neil remained in his Office
until a late hour Saturday might, ac-
commodating all comers as long rs they
continued to come.
= Many thousands of dollars were TAX
en- in during the last days OF the week
through the wickets; but with the
bushels of mail that also came In
much of it still to be worked up. there
was no arriving at anything like an
accurate estimate as to the. uotal col
lections. =. .
More than three thousand dog Incense
tags were paid for directly to the treas
urer, and although Mr.. Neil had no det-
mite way of estimating yesterday, he
said that when he got his mail worked
up il would probably show between
$500 and 1000 of such licenses

- Drafting of the new 1921 income
tax return form for incomes of $4,000
or less has been completed by the tax
simplification board, of which j. H.
Beal of Pittsburgh is chairman, it was
said Sunday night at the treasury.
The new forms, which are regarded
as much more simple and less con-
fusing than those in use last year,
have gone to the printers and proba-
bly, will be ready for distribution about
January Is. From 100000 to 20,=
100000 copies of the new forms are
being printed and it is estimated that
35 freight cars will be required 10 send
them to internal revenue collectors
simplify Form 1040--which is the
form used by the average taxpayer
has resulted in reducing the number
of pages from six to four and in elm
mating the block system of return
utilized in 1920, which was said to be
confusing TO the great majority Of
taxpayers who had income from only
one or two sources. The internal rev.
enue bureau estimated 20 per cent. Of
the persons using the $4,000. form
have income from only salaries and
wages and possibly interest and have
few deductions to make from that in
come. The new form will require tax
payers to list on the first page the
amounts of income received from n
number of sources and then form the
total of these amounts to deduct the
amounts to which they are legally en-
titled, the balance being the taxable
net income. The second page will re-
quire certain information from per-
sons receiving income from specified
sources, such as q business carried on
by the taxpayer, and the third and
fourth pages are devoted to instruc-
tions. by reducing the form to four
wages the board has eliminated the
duplicate or work sheet of the 1920
form but it was explained If taXpay-
ers wish 10 keep copy of their re-
turns sufficient forms will he avail
able for duplicates TO be obtained.

1t seems practically certain that the
senate will not ratify the recently sign
ed four power treaty. The treaty is
open TO. all the objections that were
urged against the League of Nations
covenant, and the Republicans ere TN
able to ratify it even for party rurpos-
es without stultifying themselves to an
extent to which they are reluctant to
go. There is in the proposition lots Of
objection by the Democrats. The fact
of the matter is that tbs only L weak
imitation of the League of Nations pact
that was made the paramount issue Of
the last campaign, and which was de-
feated not so much because there were
nation wide objections to it as because
the Republicans, who are largely in the
majority, had whipped themselves into
cooperation for the control Of the gov
ernment. AS the situation now stands.
there seems to be possibility that the
country may kick out the Republican
majority in an effort to secure a rati-
fcation of the old league pact.

81 think one of the most interest
ing and illuminating revealnlents OF
modern diplomacy rs this proposition
that the nations whichhhave been do
ing oil of the aggressing, or attack
ing, should get together and solemnly
form an alliance against those ma
tions who have not been guilty OF such
things. If the nations which are 70 be
members Of this .nlliance would hand

THE FOUR POWER TREATY
Senator Borah Preseribes Tests for
Measurements.

Washington, Jah His words
spread broadcast by wireless through
adjacent states. Senator Borah Ote-
publican) Of Idaho, speaking ut the
presbyterian Church of the Covenant
today. submitted what he described as
n test of whether the four power Pa
cific treaty was based upon Justice
and was therefore q peace alliance,
or based upon force and therefore z
military alliance" Several thousand
amateur and commercial wireless op7
orators within a radius OF 200 miles
of Washington "list in on Sena-
tor Borahs address.
The test which Mr.. Borah onered
was whether supporters OF the treaty
were willing to accept reservations ny

store within one year and thereafter

"aggressions in the Far East for the
last few years have been upon the
part of nations. or rather governments

II was the members of the alliance
