We wonder that the government has
so far overlooked tax on profanity.
At this time of year-with income tax,
personal tax. automobile license tax,

Would Danish Billhonrds.

The railroad commission of Wis
consin has joined the war against
billboards.
About a year ago the state high
way commission pointed out that bill
boards were blot upon scenic
beauty along state highways and re-
commended their removal for aes-
thetic reasons.
Now the railroad commission
asks that they be barred on the
grounds that they are a menace to
public safety, pointing out that their
presence is a real danger to drivers,
Because Of the multiplicity of bill
boards, argues the commission,
drivers often overlook official
danger signs placed to warn them
when approaching railroad crossings,
sharp curves, or ether dangerous
places. The advertising signs often
have the word stop displayed in
large letters to attract the drivers
attention, which only adds to the
confusion.
Because of these and other rea-
sons which make bilboards a
dangerous nuisance along public
highways the railroad commission
asks for legislation to prohibit from
Wisconsin roads all signs which are
not necessary for the guidance and
protection of traffic.
The case agains the billboards
grows stronger every yea. A
number Of states nave barred them
from the public highways and many
have passed such restrictive re-
gulations rs practically to do away
with these unsiEhtly nuisance. A
year age the city commission passed
an ordinance prohibiting any in
crease -, billboards in Superior.
Certainly they add nothing to the
pleasure Of the tourist along our
state highways and there ere places
where such signs become positive
menace to safety.
The Telegram hopes that the
legislature now in session at Madison
will pass law in line with the rail-
road commissions recommendation
and Danish biIlboards from the public
highways of Wisconsin. Superior

Income Tax Facts.

Revenue officers are visiting every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in the preparation Of
their income tax returns for the
year 1922. Information con
corning the date of their arrival
and the location of their offices may
be obtained by writing the collector
Of internal revenue for the district
in which the taxpayer lives.
Forms for filing returns of in
dividual net income for the year
1922 are being sent to taxpayers who
fled returns for the year 1921.
Failure to receive a form, however,
does not relieve the taxpayer of his
obligation to file a return and pay the
tax on time, on or before March Is,
1928. The forms, 1040A for filing
returns of net income $4,000 and
less and 1040 for filing returns of
net income in excess of $4,000. may
be obtained from collectors OF intern
al revenue and deputy collectors.
Returns are required of every
single person whose net income for
1922 was $1,000 or more or whose
gross income vas $4,000 or more and
OF every married person whose net
income was $4,000 or more or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Careful study Of the Instructions on
the forms will greatly aid in making
a correct return.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Saving money is a matter of de-
termination, not of income
Many save money out of the most
meager incomes and in the face of
great odds; many others, with hand
some incomes, waste their golden
years without putting aside a single
penny from one years end to the
next.
1t is one of the truths of life that
those who cannot learn to save on a
small income will not do so on a large
one.
In an obscure corner of a pro-
minent newspaper reference was
made recently to a New York elevat-
ed guard who, out of modest earn
ings, had during rs years saved
enough to give him fixed income of
$1,000 a year from his investments.
This is but one instance in thou
sands upon thousands of cases where
substantial sums have been built up
from slow, patient savings.
In no phase of life is the spirit of
procrastination more harmful than in
the matter of thrift.
Waiting for more propitious times
before beginning to save, has
brought about the ultimate failure
of many we'll meaning person.
1t is with honest intent that many
say when / begin making more
money | will begin saving" But
this is not the argument of those
who really succeed in thrift. Sue
cess comes through making the
fight, no matter what the obstacles
may be.
Do not pigeon hole your good in
tentions.
The saving of penny today is of
more value than the possibility of
saving a dollar at some future time.
Most things in life are gained
through determination And this
applies with special emphasis to the
matter of saving money.

Free Seeds.

Another historic American institu-
ton passes out. After June 80, no
more free seeds will be mailed by
congressman to the voters back
home
In refusing an appropriation for
free seeds, Congress in effect an
nounced its decision that seeds fail
as vote getters. Perhaps the deci-
sion was FASTENED by Alice Robert
sons recent defeat in the Congress
sional elections, though she mailed
enough free seeds to Oklahoma to
fill $50 mail bags.
Free seeds have, for years, been a
bone of political contention. It
may be true, as one side argues,
that distributing free seeds merely
makes all taxpayers help pay for a
congressman's reelection. 1t may
or may not be true that the seeds
sprout into some votes.
But somehow we cannot help think
ing that, regardless Of the purposes
Tor which they were mailed, these

ultimate good as any other way of
spending Uncle Sans money. For
there are very few people who can
resist planting a package Of seeds.
And lot of good garden truck and
beautiful flowers have sprouted from
Sans free seeds and helped make
this a more beautiful and enjoyable
world
The Senate, by killing the APP
preparation for free seeds, saves the
country S360,000 in the next fiscal
year Too bad, the saving wasn't
made by eliminating some of the
printed speeches and other political
huncombe sent postage-free through
the mails by congressman. A lot OF
this printed matter is worth free
postage But average it up and it's
slim crop compared with what
comes from free seeds

dc 60 Of o. Road Bill.

1t would be difficult to find a more
compelling argument in favor of
making the motor vehicle pay a
larger share of the road bill than the
figures shown in the annual traffic
counts made at points throughout
the state by the Wisconsin Highway
Commission. These counts show
beyond peradventure that motor
vehicle traffic is increasing by leaps
and bounds, that road betterment
due to patrol maintenance and con-
struction invites and increases that
traffic to the point that the highway
cannot carry it adequately, resulting
in an immediate demand for a higher
type Of road and further expen-
ditures. The motor vehicle is wear
ing out the roads and creating the
demand for better roads in a degree
beyond the belief of the average
uotorist. The excerpts from the
traffic count tell the story conclusive
".
In the year 1919. traffic counts
taken at 220 stations throughout
Wisconsin show an average traffic of
609 motor vehicles at each station.
OF these, 468 were cars bearing Wis
consin licenses, 50 carried licenses
from other states, p were motor
trucks, Is motorcycles, and so horse
drawn vehicles.
In the year 1922, counts at sos sta
lae
showed an average Of 1920 motor
vehicles per station, of which 1850
We're Wisconsin cars, 100 foreign
cars, 6G motor trucks, IL motor
cycles, and 80 horse-drawn vehicles.
Ponder on these significant figures.
In a three-year period the average
motor traffic at a station had increas-
ed over 1000. The average num-
Der of foreign cars had increased
over 200ce, while the number of
horse-drawu vehicles had decreased
500. 1t can hardly be alleged that
the large part Of the benefit ac-
cruing from this increased traffic
went to the real property in the
vicinity Of the roads, yet about 90e6
Of the expenditures incurred in inn
proving these roads to carry the
traffic was borne by a general pro-
perty tax The benefit was gotten
by the motor vehicles and obviously
they should pay a large share of it.
1t is significant to note the increase
ia the number of cars outside Wis
consin-over 200Ge. Why should
they not help to pay for the improve
ment Of these roads. No sound
reason has been alleged as to why
they should not. Furthermore, the
increase in the number of motor
trucks is significant and finally it viii
bc observed that the day of horse
drawn vehicles is rapidly passing,
and hereafter that type of traffic will
not be factor in the road move
ment
We should hate to attempt to
convince a farmer located on a road
where the motor vehicle traffic has
increased over 1905 in three years
that prac icalIy all the benefits ac-
cue to him and that he should,
through a general property tax, bear
the burden Of the expense of road
bettgment brought about by the
increased traliic.-Good Roads
