income evasion Occurred recently but
was not made public. The government
learned that a certain individual had
large sums of money available but had
made ont no income tax return. Inquiry
disclosed that the individual feared
making out a return because he had re-
ceived his money through handbook
making. He thought that if he told the
source of his income, the state author
titles might posSihly find it out and pros
ecutc him He was assured that unless
the state made such request the fed
eral government was not bound to call
the matter to the attention of the state
in question He still hesitated. The
government learned that his deposits as-
gregatcd $500. 600 and had been hired to
make out his income tax for him and in
vitetE him to make such deductions as he
felt he was entitled To have. He asked
for no deductions. The government pre-
scented its bill for taxes due and the in
dividual in question paid il without a
whimper-and that's the last was heard
of the case.

THERE is ABIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN REGULATION
AND CONFUSION

The big question of government all
ever the world is personal liberty. l."
There are many organizations that, with
blue laws" and otherwise, are trying to
force people to do this, that or the other
thing, against their viii, but there is also
powerful element that is taking the wise
course of proposing that blue laws shall
give place TO mild and wise regulation.
Pretty much the same condition exists
IN each human body, OF some part of each
body. For example, take the bowels.
Constipation has some part in at least
IS per cent. OF human suffering More
medicine is taken to induce bowel action
than for any other purpose. Cathartics
are advertised to regulate" the bowels.
They do not. They merely force the
bowels TO act. Cathartics are the "blua
laws of the bowels, aud do AS little per-
nanent good as any other sort of blue
laws do.
The only medicines that really regulate
the bowels, the only sort that effect q cure
for chronic constipation, are those that
purify the blood, aid digestion, invigorate
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and

COMMERCE BODY IS MAKING SURVEY
 RAILROAD COSTS
Will Seek to Find Actual VaI- uatlon of Roads and Do Away With All
 Watered Stock
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Are Herald.
 5O0 Davidson Ruildius


 Washington. February 1.A(Spo- cial)-'rhe interstate commerce com mission, at cost to the taxpayers of S25,Oo0,OOO, has completed sur vey of the actual valuation of the railroads of the country.
 This information is being reduced to summary by clerical force which. it Is estimated, will be en- gagged until 1924. After that date. according to the theory. the commits sion will be able to revise the entire scheme of rates and schedules on a basis of real valuation. After that date, according to the theory. there will be no such thing as "watered stock as applied to railroads.
 The interstate commerce commis- sion has reported to Congress that in it's opinion "this valuation will throw more light upon tho financial stabil- ity of the railroads than anything else, and the public win have, as re- suit, much clearer conception oi the railroad problem"
 In order that the completion of the work might be undertaken. the in- terstate commerce commission asked for $1,500,000. Congress appropriated SlS0o,000 for the current fiscal year. The debate indicated certain skepti- cism on the part of Congress. 1t was indicated that if as result of the val uation "watered stock" would pass out of the language. the undertaking would prove worth while. There was doubt, however, that figures com- piled in the present would serve as a basis of railroad valuation 10 years hence. In other words, Congress seemed to realize that the work would be continuous and likewise th,, appropriations.
 Begun in 1907
 The task of valuing railroads was begun in 1907. The first appropria- ton was s100000. A time limit of two years was set. Fifteen years VIII be necessary for completion, and the total cost at the end of that time will approximate $30O0O. 900.
 1T the valuation will lead to a rs- duction in rates, Congress will oe satisfied. Representative BanlShead of Alabama brought out this fac.. His following statement elicited the applause of both sides of the House:
 T express the hope that these facts will be of real value to the people. Excessive freight rates is the most depressing influence paralyzing the business of this country. l under stand the purpose of this work was to secure the real basis of railroad assets, so that the roads instead of paying dividends on fictitious values might be appraised at a legitimate rate Of earning.
 T hope the interstate commerce commission will make this survey the basis of substantial relief to pro- dueers and shippers and consumers in the reduction of rates which now paralyze the business of the nation. .,
