a week copy of the "Pickwick

$500 in good negotiable paper, the
highest price paid for any single

through the whole wide world. More
than any single character in that

right of line-a more viable figure

the years went on, almost outdid the

Sinpliied Tax Returns.

In taxation matters, one can be
thankful for small favors. Conse-
quently, the announcement that a
board is at work upon the forms for
income tax returns, for the purpose
of simplifying them, will be received
with qualification throughout the
country. The last installment of the
1920 tax is still fresh in our memo
ries, and yet, the portentous shadow
of March is, when returns must be
made for the calendar year 1921,
looms just ahead.
To the laymen, it has always SEEM
ed that the return forms were need
lessly complicated. The great MAORI
ty of taxpayers in the less than S5,-
900 class-seventy per cent of them,
according to one estimate-derive
incomes from but one source, either
salaries or wages. And, this same
class, as rule has few exemptions
to note upon the returns. Then, why
should the average citizen be requir-
ed to hire an expert or to worry HIM
self gray-headed in attempting to fill
out the myriad of spaces which stare
him in the face when he opens up the
blank return?
In the case of corporations and in
dividuals with large incomes, derived
from investments Of varied kinds, it
is different question. In order for
the government to know exactly what
it is entitled TO underkhe law, the
taxpayer must furnish complete in
formation. This can not always be
done in form as abbreviated as the
taxpayer would wish, and in view of
the variety of entries needed, it is
probable that assistance would be re-
quired Y the majority of these
weather. citizens, regardless of the
simplicity or c0mpleXlty OF the plank
which they are directed by law to
fill out.
1t is anticipated that the simplified
forms will be available in ample time
for distribution before the date for
filling them out and submitting them.
Until they are seen, however, it may
be we'll not to be too optimistic over
the prospect of their being complete
ly understandable by the average tax
payer. Efforts to eliminate red tape
in governmental work have been
known to have contrary effect

n the fifth commandment will be
realized in the life to come, when
all those who have truly honored their
parents and kept all Gods command
ments will be restored to the eternal
home.
Disobedience to parents is mark
ed characteristic of the present gen.
Grafton. Never before was it 50 COM
mon or so wide spread. The root of
evil however, lies not so much in the
children as in the parents. Many pa
rents are disobedient to God, and SO
have failed to bring up their children
in the fear of God and in the ways of
righteousness. Bible instructions, les
sons of faith, and prayer must not be
neglected if we would see obedient,
God-fearing children, growing up in
the world.

vert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first words that fell

May traces of sorrow be seen,

Guaranty State bank of Okmulgee,
