poDclNc THE INCOME TAX


VI It IS reported by men, who ought to know, that
out Of AZ ooo, 900 persons .gainfully employed in
the United States only 100000 filed government
personal income tax returned in 1919 certifying
toancomes of as much as 1900 a year, despite the
fact that it is certain that the average income dur
ing that year was in excess Of $1,000. IT,.
Therefore, it is clear that several millions of per-
sons, probably from 100000 to 20,00O,000, who
should have made returns under the law did not
do so and thereby made themselves subject to fine
or imprisonment.
In other words, from one-third to one-half of the
100000 appear to have been tax dodgers in
the year 1919-the latest year for which the figures
are available-and there is no reason to believe
conditions were any better in 1920 or 1921.
Looking at it from still different angle, it is
figured that for the year 1919 the total loss to the
accommodating 1919 would amount to taxes on
$46,000, 100000.
This is a most amazing condition Of affairs, if
the figures and totals presented are accurate as
they appear to be. While it is true that some of
those who did not make returns, but who under the
law should have done so, would not have been re-
quired to pay tax because Of the exceptions. :.
But millions did not pay who could and should.
That dishonesty could exist on such colossal scale
and fail to have been brought to the publics atten
ton before this seems almost incredable. Yet
the government figures and the statistics as ana
lyzed by Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York
Globe appear to be involerabe. - . H.,

The cities Of the Decapolis are
familiar from records of travellers to
many, but the Administration would
call particular attention to the unique
opportunity which now offers itself at
Jerash, the ancient Gerasa. Here the

the remains of the classical buildings

first-century temples, beautiful in de-

one of which the proscenium is well
preserved; a triunphal arch, stadium,

SLANG in THE PULPIT.

Speaking before the Social
Union of Presbyterian Ministers in
Philadelphia the past summer,
Rev. Dr. Joseph Ford Newton of
New York advocated the use of
modern slang in order to carry
the message of the Church. 1.-THE
younger generation, = he said,
"does not understand the Ian
guage of the Church. To get our
message across we must not only
understand their mental proc
esses, but we must even use their
language. Slang may stick in

things that will have to be used. =

IF you are not a reader of a
Catholic paper, become one at
once, says one journal in it's edi-
torial columns. 1t seems to me,
in my ignorance, that such an
appeal is somewhat futile inside
the paper. 1t is reminiscent of the
thoughtlessness Of a packing con-
Germ which once brought out a
new type Of can, and printed in
side the lid the instructions for
opening it. !"
Perhaps the paragrapher who
penned this is right. On the
other hand, there may be editorial
credulity strong enough to raise
hopes of Catholic press apostles
from among the readers of those
devout exhortatiols. Such APP.
peals may be regarded as sort OF
semiprofessional patter by which
a real subscriber ought possibly
to be moved to go out after &
prospect or two, in the granc
cause that beats building churches
and giving missions. Or is this {

WORK IN JAPAN.
IN. C. w. C. News Service.)

Nagasaki, October 12.-Another
post in our missionary journey
around the globe has been pass
ed. Japan, the island empire of
the Orient, with a romance of Cath
olicity that goes back to the days of
st. Francis Xavier and which few
other countries can equal, has been
the subject of our wonder for six days.
We are forced to admire the staunch-
ness of the Japanese Catholics, who
number $4,000 in population of co.
100000 and the hospitality accorded
by their ecclesiastical and lay leaders
will not soon be forgotten by us.
The Archbishop of Toxic and the
Rev. Mark J. McNeal, S. j., an Amer
lean priest who is well known to read
ers of the N. G.. w. c. News Service,
met us on our arrival at Yokohama.
We were first taken to the College
of the Brothers of Mary and our visit
there, we felt, recompensed us for our
inability to visit st. Louis University
in Honolulu. The Japanese have a
keen appreciation Of the benefits OF
Catholic education and when we ar
rived in Toxic we found a thriving in.

Japan, in the interest of which Father
McNeal toured the United States re.

Japan, for the altar boys who served

there were grandsons of martyrs for
the faith. We felt very close to the
heart of Catholicity in Japan when we
were informed of this fact.
The Catholic University of Japan
has accommodations for five hundred
students and there are eight Jesuit
professors and twenty Japanese on its
staff, as well as exchange professors
from the Imperial University. Gradu

for positions of trust by, the govern
ment as well as by powerful corpora
lions. Japanese Catholics look to the
university, which was opened In April,
1913, to demonstrate the intellectual
prestige of the Church, to form their
lay leaders and defenders and TO pre-
pare learned candidates for the semi
naries of the native clergy.
There are six Catholic churches in
Toxic. To Monsignor McGlinchey
and Father Delaney and myself it
was indeed curious to see hundreds
of pairs of sandals deposited at the
doors of the churches where the wor-
shippers had left them before they en-
tered the church in their stocking
feet. The Japanese people impressed
us as very gentle and very respectful.
The Archbishop Of Toxic has just
assembled his missionaries for a re-
treat and we had rare opportunity
Of meeting many of the valiant men
who have carried on the work of
Christianity for decades. One had
been in Japan fifty-one years and an
other forty-three years, but neither
of these two had any desire to return
home, even for a visit. They were
content to stay with their Japanese
converts.
We spent very pleasant day at
Nikko, which Is to the Japanese what
Rome is to the Christians. On our
return to Toxic we were the guests Of
Captain Yamamoto, the preceptor OF
the Prince Regent and one Of the most
distinguished Catholic laymen OF
Japan. The dinner was In true Japan
ese fashion and we ate unshod and
/ cross-legged, with chop-sticks. Father
Delaney had hard time OF 1t. He
had to do everything but stand on
Ibis head to maneuver the mysterious
Japanese foods.

HISTORIC SITE TO BE Ex.
CAVATED. 81.

A great international project is
about to be undertaken-the complete
excavation OF the ancient City of
David on Mount Ophel, which lies to
the immediate south Of the existing
walls Of Jerusalem. The proposal
emanates from the Palestine Admins
tration, which has issued invitations
to all the countries and communities
represented In Palestine, through the
consuls and archaeological represen-
tatives, to participate in the work.
For long time the true location of
the City of David was disputed; three
different expeditions have made
separate efforts to probe the secrets
Of the Hill-the first, under DR.. Bliss,
in 1896; the second, in 1909, by Cap.
tain Parker, whose results were inter.
preted by Pere Vincent, o. p; the
third and most important by M. WE'LL

DEATH OF WELL

Recent st. Louis papers chronicle
the death of ST.. Mary Evangelista
Prince, on Thursday, p. NJ, Oct. %,
at the Visitation Convent of that city.
The deceased was well known in st.
Paul, being a daughter of the late Col.
John S. Prince. OF devout and cul.
tured family, Sister Evangelista en-
tered the Visitation monastery short
ly after her graduation. There she
endeared herself to the community
by her conspicuous virtues. Her artis-
tic and literary abilities made her a
valuable acquisition to the teaching
staff and her influence on her many
pupils bore lasting fruits.
For many years she was assistant
and superior in her community. She
was a tower of strength in forming
and preserving the spirit of those un-
der her charge. OF excellent judg.
ment, she was always consulted in the
important steps made, necessary to
keep pace with the advance and prog.
| ress of late years in the educational
world. She was especially revered for
I her great cordially, charity, humility
