INCOME TAX IS
 SC0URGE TO ENGLISH
Reign of Inquisitors Called the Annual Torture' of British Citizens,
By F. A. WRAY, International News Service Staff Cor respondent.

AO1pOAASAOAASs
 London. Oct. 5-British citizens are just undergoing their annual tor ture-that of the income tax off, cials.
 Compared with it the Star Cham Der and the Spanish Inqiutsition were tortured physically. The British in come tax leaves the citizen practi- cally without a cent and entirely with out self-respect.
 the income tax is five shillings in the pound-25 per cent. of income. For the wealthy, when combined with what is known as "supertax,' 1t may income.
 Puzzling Statistics.
 To begin with, the average com mon CT garden taxpayer has to fill in forms AEelating to his income. In their statistical details they would puzzle any well-informed accountant.
 With these he does his best. And then the person known as the 'fn- come tax surveyior'' begins to dispute.
 He begins by assuming that the innocent taxpayer is attempting to more and further information and threatens the direst penalties of the law.
 The taxpayer makes further returns but meets with the same fate He is told that his return is incorrect but the Income Tax Commissioners have assessed him at a certain figure. That figure is just three times the amount of the citizens return.
 And the powers of these income tax people are entirely arbitrary. If the amount they demand is not paid to the minute they can do practically what they please. If they wish they can just descend on the taxpayers home-without notice-and seize and sell his furniture without more to do
 Relief Impossible.
 Process of this kind is beloved of income tax officials Extreme action Of this sort brings some official com mendatfon and increase in salary For every extra percentage they ex- tort from the taxpayer they receive kudos in kind.
 Sometimes the citizen insists on the institution known as Somerset House, the headquarters in England of the Inland Revenue. And there he meets his Waterloo right away. To begin with, he is kept waiting between four and five hours in a great big lofty. unfurnished waiting room. the proper frame of mind, he is sud- denly introduced into the presence of the gentlemen known as the Com mlss1oners fthe Inland Revenue.'' Twelve of them sit around table and as the unhappy victim approaches they make one concentrated dive in hIs direction.
 How long have you been defraud- hectoring voice.
 Scared Into It.
 Do you know the penalties for an incorrect return y says a second.
 Have you anything to say before we instruct the authorities to take proceedings against you '' shouts third, and so the process goes on. In three minutes the poor unhappy vic- tim believes himself guilty of all charges and is glad to escape the best way he can.
 Tn the finish he is usually told that his assessment is treble the figure originally fixed, and he rushes out thees fiends.
 And then the trained team of in come tax inquisitors, reckoning it has done fine mornings work for the country, goes to lunch and laughs.

GOING "OveR THE RANGE"

A geologist recently stated in an article on mining that new methods of determining the To. cation of the earth's hidden me- tals soon would send the old time prospectors lover the range" A few weeks ago Horace V. Win chell, noted mining authority, told the senate committee on mines and mining that the day of the prospector was in the sun set stage. Perhaps it is true, and scientific means of finding ore may drive this trail blazer of the west into the shadows, but if the forecasts come to pass there will be removed from the hills and plains, a figure whose hope laid the foundation of Arizona and other western states and whose faith and courage never failed, says the Prescott Even ing Courier, which continues:
 The lure of gold brought the founders of Prescott here, and, when the community was estab- 1ished amid it's rough and unsafe surroundings, there fared forth from the banks of Granite creek eager and fearless men in quest of the precious hoard they be lieved the mountains held. Some of them were rewarded, though never in satisfying measure, but many encountered no trace of the shining metal of their fond dreams.
 The old prospector did not know what Encouragement was; and, too. he was enamored with the search, and, even if he did find mine rich enough, to give compensation for his toil, he would sell it and begin the thrill ing hunt again. He loved the hills; the open life was sweet to him, and he was happiest in the silent places. He raked and pressed the soil where every big mine in Arizona exists today, and although wealth was not for him, his soul was glad and his heart was as free Nas the trails he made.
 Most of the real prospectors already have gone beyond the Great Divide;some yet are trust ing that luck will come to them in the game with Mother Earth. They have left few successors, those who have gone; and. the ones who remain are content to know the lure of the search among the hills will perish with them, for it cannot be passed on as heritage to posterity.
 May be, as they sayI the old prospector is in the twilight. If so, he has no excuse to offer for neglected service. With his | faithful burro, his worn pick, | his battered frying pan and the | light of expectation on his sun- Drowned face, he can ride alone | in the dark in serene confidence i that he led the way for others | who have protited by his sacri- fec.
 He was pioneer who never faltered when peril came, never ] murmured because fortune pass ed him by.
 His faith was measureless, his hope eternal.
