MAMMOTH CAVE OPEN

LOUISVILLE.-Reop of the
original entrance to Mammoth cave,

the trustees intimated the action was
taken because development company

SARAH SWALE
WANTS PARDON

Application for pardon for Mrs.
Sarah Swale will be heard by Cover
nor Blaine on March s. Mrs. Swale
was convicted of arson by her plea of
guilty on June 18, 1919, and sentenced
to serve ten years by Judge Clement
son. A ten-year sentence, if fully
served, amounts to six years and three
months.
Mrs. Swale set fire to her Potosi
store building in June, 1919. The
blaze spread to other buildings doing
huge damage to adjacent property and
endangering several lives. Her con-
fessed motive was to fraudulently OBJ
tain insurance money.
An effort to gain a parole a few
years ago was successfully resisted
by Potosi parties. The Herald has
not heard of any opposition at present
and there may be none as natural in
dignation at the time has a tendency
to die out in the course of time.

TIT SAFE IN HIS CASE;
KING GEORGE LAYS BAN

LONDON.-King George has inter
vened to prevent the removal OF King
Tutankhamen from his mummy case.
A Luxor dispatch describing the ind
ing of the sarcophagus limited at this,
and it is learned here that the kings
request was made at an audience at
Buckingham palace with Howard Car
ter before the discoverer OF the TOMB
returned to Egypt.
The result of King Georges inter-
vention will be that knowledge gath
cred from study of the mummy will
have to be restricted to an X-ray ex-
animation.
King Georges command has caused
much amusement here, where it is re-
garded as another indication of his re-
gard for what King Edward used to
call the "trade union of kings" even
if they have been long extinct.

TIPS FOR THOSE
WHO PAY u. S.
INCOME TAXES

In making out his income tax re-
turn for the year 1923 the business
man, professional man, and farmer
will be required to use Form 1040, re-
CARELESS of whether his net income
was or was not in excess of $4,000.
The smaller form, 1040a, is used for
reporting net income of $4,000 or less
derived chiefly from salary or wages.
All items of gross income must be
reported. In the case of storekeep-
er gross income usually consists of
the gross profits on sales, together
with income from other sources. The
return must show the gross sales,
purchases, and cost of goods sold
The professional man, lawyer, doc
tor, dentist, must include all fees and
other compensation for professional
services. The farmer must report as
gross income the proceeds of sale or
exchange of product raised by him
and resold. He must also report the
gross income from all other sources.
Taxpayers, n order to take full ad-
vantage of the deductions to which
they are entitled, are advised to study
carefully the instructions.
In computing his net income for the
years 1923, taxpayer may deduct
from gross income all losses, incurred
not only in business, trade or profess
sion, but in any transaction enter
ed into for profit" not compensated
for by insurance or otherwise.
To be allowed, losses not incurred
in trade or business must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
For example, loss incurred in the
sale of a taxpayers home, which at
the time of purchase was bought
without intention of resale, is not
deductible because it was not trans
action entered into for profit.
Losses sustained in the operation
of a farm as a business venture are
deductible. If sustained in the oper-
alton of a farm operated merely for
pleasure or convenience of the tax
payer, such losses are not deductible.

NEWSPAPERS PREFERRED MAIL

An order has been issued by the
Postmaster General which will speed
up delivery of newspapers. By the

letters. They are not to be sent to
terminal stations for reworking, and
when received at the postofice for

same consideration as first class mail.

Nothing Ever Settled
Until 1t Is Settled Right.

Herald comment last week on local
affairs has aroused more or less COM
ment and discussion outside Some
applaud the expressed views while
others, admitting the truth of what
was said say we said too much. How
ever, our view is that nothing is ever
settled until it is settled with fairness
and justice This applies to schools,
roads, local expenditures, illegal sales
of booze or too rigorous electric rates.
No honest person need fear fair
deal And we will keep on agitating
until we see the public is getting one.

A Banker That
%'ShOt OFF His Mouth"

1t seems that Frank Vanderlip, the
New York banker, is guilty of shoot
ing off his mouth" In speech at
Ossining, n Y. Mr.. Vanderlip init
mated that irregularities existed in
the sale of the Marion Star, Harding S
paper, for 100000. Mr.. Vanderlip
inferred that the paper was worth
about half the purchase price and
wondered what the connection was
The next day he was called before the
senate committee. A lame defense
that he was trying to protect Hard
ing's memory by airing scandal was
presented. Vanderbilt ought to buy a
newspaper and run it himself for a
while. He would find out that while
it is o. X to prod the lions, one must
be sure of what he is talking about
and not depend on street talk or ru-
NOR.

What Is The Tourist
Traffic NORTH

An exchange in publishing its own
estimated value of the outside motor
tourist trade to the state each year
put it at $00,O00,000 when it meant one
hundred million dollars. A CORES
pondent to the paper replied in the
next issue with a comment that prob
ably the error really should stand as
the correct sum. He says the state
spends $20,000,00 a year on fine roads
so the outside tourists can go whoop-
ing through at 800 miles day ana
enjoy the fine scenery. All they ouy
ia oil and gasoline. The Herald would
call the correspondent humorous
cvnic. The tourists benefit by the
fine roads, but so do we. Still we
think the value of tourist traffic IS
generally over estimated and we do
not approve of spending too much 10
cal money for rest camps, etc, IN
these stringent times.

Use Intelligence In
HNMling Over Taxes.

A farmer friend suggests that while
it is apropos to kick over taxes little
intelligence and study would go well
with the bowling. He means that
while most people complain of high
taxes few make an analysis of tax ex-
penditures 1t is quite apparent that
any reduction in the tax burden must
be preceded by intelligent study of the
whole tax situation. Until we do this,
the beefing will do little good The
first thing is to find where the tax
money goes. The second thing is to
elect men to office who will make an
honest and intelligent effort to pare
useless expenditures.

Fighting Men In Prison;
SEackerS Go Free.

In Leavenworth federal prison are
confined 176 soldiers of the late war
who for one offense or another are
doing long terms in confinement.
Some of them are in for life. Many
of these men performed valorous acts
on the field of battle. In a moment
OF passion or while drunk they COM
mitted a crime that the harsh mill
tary court martial handled with Sc
verify. And since the war numerous
L. w. W.. and pacifists confined for
absolute refusal to fight or for OBJ
struction of the war have gained their
freedom. An effort is being made now
to have the cases of 176 fighting men
reviewed.
