INCOME TAX
OF SINCLAIR
QUESTIONED
Little Difference of S5,OOO,-
600 Between Truth and
Return, Is Charge,
BY QUICK

In MI R. JEFFERs Of Alabama in
IlIVII sists the income tax record Of
- Mr.. Sinclair, the notorious oil
magnate of Teapot Dome fame, be
investigated. He asserts there is a
little difference of IS, 900, 900 between
the truth and the return as accepted
in Mr.. Melons Treasury Department,
and that the discrepancy is in Mr..
Sinclair's favor.
I don't know how Mr.. Jeffers knows
this. l don't know how anyone knows
any such thing. But I wonder what
rich men expected to get out of it
when they became angels of the past
administration. How better can a
multimillionaire justify to himself
huge contributions to a campaign
FUND than by getting the best of it
in the Income Tax Bureau?
l don't say Mr.. Sinclair got the best
of it. I only wonder about these
accusations of Representative Jeffers.
Sinclair has paid up every dollar the
law calls for, in cash on the nail. Per-
haps other rich men have. I am
willing to give everyone the benefit of
the doubt.
Wish for Way
But 1 wish 1 knew for sure. Don't
you? Don't you wish there were n
way in which you could find out?
The income tax law keeps secret the
income tax returns Of every one ex-
cept men like Senator Couzens, and
his would be secret but he made Sec
rotary Mellon angry. Then the sec
rotary told about It.
But Couzens has no way of know
ing what Melons income tax Is. You
pay what the collector of internal
revenue demands, and after you have
lost all track Of things in a year or
so they call on you for more and you
pay that; but you can't know what
your fellow taxpayers pay.
All In Secret
There is no board OF income tax
equalization. It's all done in secret.
1t is done in a corner 1t is all Gov
cred up.
It is star-chamber, t~hird-degree
work. 1t is not just. It is not safe.
Our tax records should be open to in
spection 10 every one.
I hope Mr.. Jeffers' plea for inves-
tigation OF the Sinclair income tax rec
ord viii lead to such a change in the
law that every citizen may know as he
may in all other fields Of taxation Just
what his fellows pay. The present
plan. II It has not already led to cor
ruption, cannot fail TO do so even

represents an anomaly in free gov
eminent. It ought TO be changed.

Teapot Dome

To the Editor Of The Times
What is the business Of the attorney
general of the Presidents cabinet?
Surely not to go to Florida or to Eu-
rope as others have done to shun a
responsibility. The office was made
for a purpose-to look into the affairs
of the Government and prosecute
those who violate the laws of the
country. Then why has Congress ap
p%ropriated 500. 900 of the peoples
money to pay for what the attorney
general is paid to do? Why not make
a law to use the money paid him to
pay those experts who are appointed
by the President to fight this Teapot
Dome case?
1t looks like the President is not
protecting the taxpayer. On the other
hand. he wants to help the farmer
then tax him more to pay for this
law violation. If Mr.. Dougherty
doesn't want to prosecute those fel-
lows who violated the law. let him
get out. If not, 1 hope the Senate will
put him out and all who are members
of the Ananias Club, for there are
plenty of good men, yes, honest men,
who would take their places.

Courthouse on Circle
Of The Times

To the Editor Of The Times
We herewith submit a possible solu-
ton Of the courthouse question, and
also the question Of an u~nsightly gar
age on Monument Place.
Why not have the county condemn
the site Of the proposed garage on
Monument Circle and erect a court
house on the Circle, and then sell the
present courthouse site.
It seems to me the county commits
sioners would have the power to con-
demn this site on Monument Place
under the power of eminent domain,
erect a courthouse on that site. and
thus the garage question a be
eliminated.

THE sun shining down upon
the ocean. heats the surface.
IL Some Of the water is evap-
GRATED and passes into the atmos-
phere as water vapor.
Winds blow the water vapor over
the land upon which it falls in the
form OF rain.
Part Of the rain soaks Into the
ground. The rest runs down the
slope of the land forming rills in
the depressions IN the land. These
unite TO form larger streams. When
they reach the valleys, they form
still larger streams, known as
creeks and brooks when small, and
rivers when large.
Rivers are among the chief agents
which YEA away the land.
The flowing water wears away the
sides and bottom of the valley
through which it flows. The sedi-
ment thus formed and the sediment
washed into the river by the rain,
increases It's power to wear away
the valley, since each particle of
sediment acts as a cutting tool
against the rivers bed.
Transportation Agent
Rivers are the great transporta-
ton agent. The current carries
along the sediment in the river.
1t IS estimated hat the Mississippi
River annually carries enough solid
material out into the Gulf Of Mexico
to make a column one mile square
and 26S feet high.
Not all the material which a river
carries in suspension reaches the

such as the Nile. deposit much sedi-
ment upon the banks of the river
as the flood recedes. These deposits
are known as flood plains.
Many rivers. such as the Missis-
sippi, deposit much material at their
mouths. These deposits are known
as deltas.
AS already noted, part OF the rain
fall soaks into the ground. This
underground water is also an impor-
tant geological agent.
The fact that wells can be sunk
in almost every section of the land
and the great abundance of springs
issuing from the slopes Of noun
tains and valleys bear testimony to
the great amount Of underground
water.

Florida

To the Editor Of The Tines
1t has been my belief that Florida
is a State noted for its wonderful eli
mate so inductive to good health, but
judging from recent publications
Florida is a haven Of refuge for all
moneyed men and politicians who find
it convenient to undergo a nervous
breakdown.
During my eight years in that State
the tourists all remarked what a won
derful State it was. Now all the lead
ing journals of the United States re-
mark what an ideal place for the
overworked and prosecuted officials TO
stage their sudden collapse.
The State is famous for its fountain
Of youth which restores health to all
suffering humanity. A few bottles Of
water from this well should be sent
