Now when all farm implements are

monkey wrench, the oil can, the

F. w Duffee of the Wisconsin Col

tools, however, he would attach the
warning of using them with the lin

YOUR INCOME TAX


Your income tax for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income
than was the tax for 1923. A rate re-
duction, however, is not the only bene
fit afforded by the revenue act of 1924
Increase in the exemption for married
persons, a 25 per cent reduction on
earned income,' and other changes in
revenue legislation are of immediate
interest to every taxpayer
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924 was
81, 900 or more, or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more, and by every mar
ried couple whose aggregate net in
come was $1,000 or more, or whose
aggregate gross income was $4,000 or
more. Last year returns were required
of married couples whose aggregate
net income was $4,000 or more. Hus-
band and wife, living together, may
include the income of each in a sim
gle joint return, or each may file a
separate return showing the income
of each. Net income is gross income
less certain specified reductions for
business expenses, losses, bad debts,
contributions etc.
The period for filing returns is from
January l to March Is, 1925. The re-
turn, accompanied by at least one
fourth of the amount of tax due, must
be filed with the collector of internal
revenue for the district in which the
taxpayer has his legal residence or
has his principal place of business.

French Debt Middle Is
Due for Adjustment
OFFICIAL PATIENCE EXHAUSTED
OVER FRENCH DALLYING ON
HER DEBT DUE U. S.
Rx Edward percy Howard

The seeming determination Of the
French government to avoid as long
as possible, if not altogether, the
French debt to America, has reached
a point that makes it impossible long
err to conceal official irritation In
deed, no apparent effort is being made
to keep from the public the govern
ment's state of mind. Feeling is gene1
al, that in the debt lodging memoran
dun just delivered III, the national cap
tai, France has piled all but the last
straw on the camePs back.
From this time on, unless all signs
fail, France may look for cross lots
diplomacy, for 40 statement of the
American position so direct that it
will afford no loophole for further
lodging
There are just a few fundamental
facts that stand out in the situation,
and these facts must be faced regard
less of consequence. First, France
owes the United States between four
and five billions of dollare. This mon
ely was supplied to France out of the
pockets of the American people when
France was in extremis, with the ex.
ception of one billion dollars which
was lent to the the French republic
AFTER the war hadclOsed.
Second, France must pay this debt,
without question
: Third, America must know exactly
when she is going to begin paying it,
without equivocation, how she is 60
ing to pay it, in what way she is going
to pay it, and what rate of interest
is to be charged during the run of the
installments.
1t can be stated on strong authority
that all consideration of cancellation
is ont of the question. Whatever may
have been the accomplishment of
French propaganda looking to this
solution of her difficulty, that accom-
plishment is now definitely resting
in the discard Cancellation even of
part of the debt will not receive the
least consideration. So determined
the official mind on this point that
the public officer who dares intimate
such possibility more likely will be
asked to walk the official plank, or be
booted unceremoniously out Of office
There is every indication that Pres
dent Coolidge is now fixed in his de
termination to press a strictly Ameri
can policy for America and that he
will not tolerate any suggestion thai
carries the color Of European adyar
tage.

Latest Memorandum
Little Less Than Insult

Close examination of the memoran
dunn entrusted by the French Ministe-
of Finance M elemental, to Ambasss
dor Herrick for transmission to Wash
ington, discloses the fact that the doc
ument is as meaningless as the motor
ious German scrap of paper. II con
tains nothing. It is not an offer, it i
not guarantee. it is not promise
it is not even an official communica
ION. 1t does not bind France in an
particular. 1t simply expresses the
hope that the French government ma
follow the communication with an ey
preston OF it's willingness to refund
the debt, but there is not the slightest
intimation that even this will De dor
One or two of the more prom mt
Of our national legislators regard l.,
communication as little short of insul-
ing. That it is plain evasion of the
French obligation, basic move hav
ing as it's motive the laying Of
groundwork fcr barter and diplomatic
debt-dodging is beyond question.
Seems French Action
Must Be Forced
Washington is now determined that
unofficial exchanges of thought rela-
tive to this French debt must come
to an immediate end. These imitation
pourparlers began years ago with M
Parmentier They have continued wit
out interruption, and in all that time
the French government has never
said one word regarding her debt to
America. Instead, the French govern
ment, while perusing a policy of side
stepping, quietly opened in New York
an official bureau of propaganda
which has been working necessarily
to put the French viewpoint into the
minds of the American people.
