Amendments Turned Down.
AS a vote on passage approached

Republicans made no further at
tempt to upset the Democratic pro-
visions, Republican insurgents hav-
ing stood firm in their coalition with
the minority yesterday on two moves
by the organization Republicans to
knock out the Simmons income rate
schedule.
Aside from the rate schedule, which
actually varies but little from that
adopted by the House on a strict Re-
publican vote, Republicans were bit
terly opposed to the substitute COR
poration tax providing for a gradu-
ated scale of rates applicable on un-
disturbed profits and to the provision
opening tax returns to public inspec-
tion and the hearings of the board of
tax appeals to the public.
Both of the latter proposals were
adopted with Republican insurgents
joining with solid Democratic vote.
To both of these President Coolidge
has indicated his opposition.
These and the income rate schedule
will be the principal points Of differ
ence to be worked out in conference.
Chairman Snoot declared on the
floor yesterday, referring to changes
made in the bill by the Senate, that
he hoped the measure would be modi-
Democrat, Arkansas, on the other
hand, remarked that as head of the
Senate conferees the finance commit

Income Rate Schedule.
Principal interest in the bill, until
the publicity and corporation tax
changes, had centered in the income
rate schedule, where party lines
again were drawn. Both the House
and Senate decisively rejected Secre-
airy Melons proposal for a change
in these rates, both going further in
the cuts on the lower incomes and
limiting somewhat the proposed re-
ductions on the higher brack kets.
Calling attention to the expenses
which might have to be met by the

The merchants of this and all
other villages must fight for trade
and fight hard, if they would retain
business. The auto and good roads
have made the large towns and
cities so accessible that hundreds OF
buyers of this and every other COM
munity are driving to these towns
to do their shopping. Why! Be
cause the business men of the cities
are reaching out for the country
trade, by catchy advertisements IN
the daily press, and personal letters
to the villagers and farmers. The
local merchant must meet this COM
petition, and the only way is to do
the same thing. The weekly news
papers go into the homes of prac-
tically everybody in a community
and when the reader sees that he
can buy the same goods at the home
town store at practically the same
price the city merchant sells for, ne
will trade at home. But the mer-
chant must go after the business In
the right way. Printers ink pays
and pays big. No large business,
no department store, no mail order
house can succeed without liberal
advertising-and they are doing it,
Unless effort is put forth to hold
the trade, of the community, the
city merchant will get it because he
advertises what he has to sell in the
press.-West Concord Enterprise.

NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL WEAK.
NESS.

Secretary Davis of U. S. Depart
ment of Labor says the old appren-
tice system can never be revived in
u country with labor organiza-
tions, and divisions of labor into
specialties. Too few trades offer
young men an opportunity to learn
by direct contact.
Our entire educational system is
tending toward producing profess
sional classes, with almost no rela-
ton to industry and production.
Secretary Davis, speaking before
the National Society for Vocational
Education, said it was a mistake to
turn out 80 per cent of the young
people equipped only for white
collar" occupations.
As a matter of fact in almost any
community, by actual count, only 10
per cen of jobs are the ''white col
lar" class. Mr.. Davis, himself a
product of the workshop, warns us
that our country cannot be kept. in
lead as industrial nation under this
system.
Labor organizations shutting
young men out from learning
trades, and schools and colleges
turning out nine professionals when
only one is needed, will not main
tain our hold upon the trade of the
world.
Our country will have to learn the
lesson once more that labor and pro-
ductive industry are the foundation
of prosperity and our boys and girls
must be made to realize that it is
not undignified to toll with ones
hands.

At present promoters of varigat-

their attention in establishing a de-

communities to inform themselves
on projects before opening to sohc

EMPLOYERS ARE ASKED
FOR THEIR COOPERATION.

Collector of Customs Willcuts has
issued the following appeal to all
employers of labor:
"Your attention is called to your
obligation, under the law, to file
with the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue st Washington on or be-
fore March 18th, an information
return. This return is prepared on
Form 1899 and 1896 and must be
filed by every individual, firm, cor
poration, partnership, receiver, ex-
e%cutor, trustee, administrator and
employer who, during the year
1923, paid out salaries, wages, rent,
royalties or other fixed and de-
terminable gains in amounts of
$1,000 or nor to any Oh in
dividual. This information has no.
thing to do with your income tax
return.
"No extension of time can be
granted by the Collector for the fl
ing of this return.
"In connection with this, this of
fee earnestly desires your co-o9era-
tion with your employees or persons
receiving such amounts reported.
You will see that it is impos-.tle
Cor employees to avoid filing re-
turns.
"We would greatly appreciate it
if you would take the matter UP
with your employees and explain to
them that if it is a single person
getting over $1,000 per year, a re-
turn must be filed, and if a married
person getting over $4,000 per year,
a return must be fled. This is i'm
perative whether the returns show a
tax after deductions are made or
not. Many persons make the mis-
take in thinking that because their
returns show no tax that they are
relieved from filing same. It is
true that a married mar has $4,000
exemption and $400 for each de-
pendent. For instance, a married
man with two children would be ex-
empted $500. but if his income is
over $4,000 he must file a return
just the same.
"This Office appeals to you to
help US in this matter. We want to
avoid all penalties, as far as pos
sible for failure to file returns.

"'The most important step toward
the prevention of any chronic dis
ease is the proper education of the
people as a whole. 1t is not sufi-
cient for physicians alone to know
the great danger of the unchecked
progress for months or years of any
chronic disease like tuberculosis,
humorous growth or goiter. If pro-
gress toward prevention is to be
made, everybody must know what
to do and why to do 1t.
Every problem in preventive
medicine has been developed by a
gradual process of evolution, and
the prevention of goiter is no ex-
ception to this rule. Considering the
thousands of years during which
goiter has troubled the human rae
the development of a method of
prevention has been slow indeed;
but as compared with the accom-
plishments of the comparatively new
science, biological chemistry, this
development has been very rapid
and direct; and no principle in pre-
ventive medicine has a firmer ply
siologic and chemical foundation
than that which underlies the pre-
vention of goiter.
Simple or endemic goiter is one
of the most insidious diseases which
attacks man and animals. The sum
total Of its ravages throughout, all
ages. and all lands is still ~unrealized
by the public generally, notwith-
standing the numerous reports
issued by commissions appointed for
its study. Those who live by the
sea coasts fortunately have had no
need to be concerned; and before
the days of extensive travel those
who lived in endemic goiter districts
grew so accustomed to the presence
of goiter that they considered it a
natural normal development. In
deed, in many districts of the world,
a goiter is still considered a mark
of beauty.
"Under the classification of SIM
pie goiter we now include all
those thyroid engagements in man
and animals which we're formerly
designated as endemic, epidemic,
sporadic and p~hysiologic or Adde'S
cent goiter. Simple goiter is sharp
ly differentiated from exophthalmic
goiter, with which it has no neces-
sary association or etiologic rela-
tionship. Simple goiter may develop
sporadically in any locality, even at
sea as was reported to have hap
pened on one of Captain Cooks
voyages, but it is pre-eminently
associated with certain regions or
districts.
