HAVE NEGLECTED. TO
MAKE TAX RETURNS

Investigations conducted by field
deputies of the Internal Revenue Ser
vice indicate that hundreds of tax
payers in the district of Washington
have neglected, Intentionally or 9th
erwise, to include as income in their
returns for 1920, 1921 and 1922
profits realized from the sale Of real
estate, according to Collector Burns
Poe, who several weeks ago ordered
rigid probe to be made of suspect
ed evasions Of income regulations.
In order to close up the govern
ment tax net, the collector has or
dered that transcript be made Of
all doubtful transfers. A careful in
vestigation will be made of all these
files, to determine whether or not
the sales involved have been report
ed upon the income tax returns. The
collector has suggested that all per-
sons who failed to include the profit
realized from real estate sales call
at his office or file amended re-
turns, as 1t is the policy of the rev.
enue department not to assert heavy
penalties where the disclosures of
failure to include income are volun-
tarily made by taxpayers.
In cases where the taxpayer does
not voluntarily disclose items of in
come that were omitted, and where
the gains from real estate sales have
not been reported, the collector said
that it would be necessary to assert
full penalties from all returns where
the investigation disclosed the failure
of the taxpayer to include real es.
tate gains in his income tax returns.

North and South Connected
Completion Of Pavement

After many months Of waiting,
there is at last an unbroken con-
crete ribbon stretching from the
British Columbia line on the north
into Oregon on the south; and "Pro-
family Detour" is no more.
The completion of the paved road
through Washington State was made
an occasion of much jollification and
celebration, in which the governors
Of two states participated.
The day-a beautiful sunny one
started with a caravan Of 200 ma
chimes from Olympia at $3.50 a. m.
As the journey progressed the num-
Der increased, until fully 500 cars
were in line coming from the north
and up from the south, when the
Governor from Washington met the
Governor from Oregon, on the in
terstate bridge spanning the Column
bia, at Vancouver. Here Governor
Hart of Washington extended his
hand to Governor Pierce of Oregon
over the imaginary line that divides
the two states, giving official sig
nifiicance to an occasion that means
much to the welfare of both states;
in fact, to the entire Pacific coast;
for with the completion Of the con-
crete highway machine travel up
and down the coast will be greatly
stimulated; and by the elimination
of an ABDOMINAL detour, there remains
nothing to mar the pleasure of one
of the most beautiful and scenic
rides in the world.

NEW LIGHT ON LIVING COST

Sustained high levels both in the
cost of living and to a greater de-
gree in the earnings of the American
workingman are revealed in two re-
search reports, the results of which
were made known today by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board,
New York. The reports cast new
lights on the trend both of what 1t
costs the average American family
to live and what the head of the fam
lily has left in his pay envelope when
the bills are paid. In brief, the
wage situation reflects at present a
higher level for "reap earnings, as
weighed with what these earnings
will buy, than at any time since be-
fore the war, not excepting the So
called peak" period of 1920. The
cost of living in July, the latest
time when comprehensive figures
were available for survery of this
magnitude, was 61.9 per cent above
the 1914 level, and this was a de-
cline of 20.S per cent from the peak
of high prices in July, 1920. Most
noteworthy were the increases in
rents throughout the country. In
fact, the rent item in the average
family budget in July last was rs
per cent higher, the boards figures
show, than in 1914, and even higher
than their former peak of II per
cent in the spring of 1921.
Between March and July this year
food prices increased 35 per cent
and in July they were AZ per cent
above the pre-war level, but had de-
clined SO per cent from the peak Of
July, 1922. There was a noteworthy
difference in the relative increase in
the price of food from city to city
among the 80 reporting changes in
the last nine years. In Washington,
with So per cent; Chicago and De-
troit, 81 per cent each, and Rich
mond, Sc per cent, the increases
were more than twice as great as
the smallest advances-in Salt Lake,
of ~ per cent.
The average cost OF clothing In
creased less than / per cent between
March and July this year. Clothing
prices in July had declined 80 per
cent since March, 1920, when their
peak, totallng LII per cent since pre-
war days, was attained.
Most magnificent of all, however,
is comparison Of the report on the
cost Of living with the concurrent re-
port on wages, hours and employ
ment-the. first time such a compari-
son on the basis of the boards au-
thoritative figures has been made
possible in nine years. Especially
noteworthy is the decided advance in
real earnings" which establishes
the contention of economists that
the American workingman is better
of today than he ever was before.

Teachers in County Schools
Average $729 Yearly
In Majority Of States Average 10
Below This, In Some Cases az
Low az $500 Year

WASHINGTON.-T Division OF
Rural Schools, United States Bureau
Of Education, has ready for printing
the results Of an inquiry concerning
the salaries Of teachers In rural
schools In 1923. About half the
counties in the United States are
represented. The number Of one
teacher schools reported was 97,75S
and the average salary received was
1929. In 20 states the average was
above this salary and below in 26
states. In only six states does the
average salary for ons-tsacher
schools reach 5000. OF the nearly
IS, 900 teachers 3,1O0 received less
than $500 a year. Nearly all of
these are in IL states. There we're
1880 salaries from $500 to 1899, des-
ignated as the $500 group. There
were $3.50 in the $500 group, 1857
in the $500 group, 1926 in the $500
group, 16,432 in the $500 group and
2O,826 in the $500 group. This rep
resents the largest group of the SO,
900 teachers. 1t appears that in
two large states, Indiana and Ohio,
$500 is the minimum salary fixed by
law. In New York the minimum is
$500 for full term of 40 weeks.
In the two-teacher schools reported
the 21,624 teachers were paid an
average salary of $738. The number
receiving less than $500 was 1,138.
The $500 group was the largest, with
1888 teachers. In - states the
average exceeded 5000.
In schools in the open country
employing three or more teachers,
not consolidated schools, there were
12,745 teachers reported, the aver
age salary being sS42 Here 5000 is
the largest salary group, 81 states
reporting averages above this figure.
The reports show that there were
1890 teachers in the consolidated
schools, the average salary being
$1,O31. Here the largest salary group
is 5000 with 1888 teachers, only 10
states averaging below this group.
In Is states the average salary paid
teachers in the consolidated schools
exceeds $1,1O0.
In schools having three or more
teachers in country villages and
GOWNS there were 42,025 teachers re-
ported, the average salary being ST.
1873. Here also the 5000 group has
the largest number of teachers, s.
$40. Thirteen states show less than
5000 for the average salary paid,
while 10 pay exceeding s1,10O for
the average.
While the salaries here quoted are
considerably higher than those pre-
vailing in pre-war days, it is a de-
plorable fact that the country school
teachers dollar will pay for less
Of the necessities of life than it did
10 years ago.
No one will claim that city teach
ers are paid too much, but reports
for this year show that elementary
teachers in cities of $500 to 5000
population receive an average salary
Of over $1,1O0, in cities of 5000 to
10000 the average reaches $780,, in
cities 10000 to 10000 it is s1,277,
in cities 10000 to 100000 the average
is $1,467, and in the larger cities
the average salary has already gone
beyond $1,S75.
On account of the higher cost of
living the salary Of the city teacher
will always be higher than that re-
ceived in the country for similar
service, but the gap between the
two is far too wide.

Noble Prize Crowns Nansen's Career

Christiana, Jan. 26.-Fridtjof Nam
sen, who has just received the Nobel
peace prize, presents one of the nest
peculiar careers of modern public men
in that he devoted his whole effort to
science until he was 90 years cid, then
suddenly veered to politics and humani-
tartan work and achieved as great dis
tinction in the latter { ED as in his
earlier life.
Nansen, famed as an arctic explorer,
zoOlogist, author, t,!ief worker and
diplomat, was born ut Frozen, near here
in 1861.
He attended the University of Chris
riania, specializing IN zoology. At n,
having graduated, he und, rtOOk his first
polar expedition in east Greenland.
In 1888 he crossed the ice cap of
Greenland for the first time, under
going great peril and suffering. He
described his experiences in two vol
umes.
In 1897 he became professor of zoo
iOgy at the university here.
He had long cherished the idea of
drifting across the north pole on a
moving ice pack. He undertook such
venture in 1888 and was forced TO
spend a winter in an ice hut in the
arctic.
Word came back to civilization
that Nansen had discovered the north
pole. On his return he denied this,
but admitted he had penetrated the ice
packs to within DO miles of the pole.
In 1905 a crisis arose between Nor
way and Sweden over their political
separation. Nansen then went into
politics and campaigned with his pen
for separation. The cause won.
hansen then became Norwegian MIN
lister to Great Britain.
He became an eager supporter of
the League of Nations and has been
active at every meeting. The league
selected him to repatriate prisoners of
war in Russia, work he carried out
with the greatest success.
