But while the former are the recog-

port the Hankow government; with
the almost assured support of the
peasant military organization known
as the Red Spears and with the re-
markable growth Of the trade unions
in China, the position of the imperial
ist powers is less secure than ever,
despite the treachery Of Chiang-Kai-
Shek. This is an added reason why
Great Britain should wish to crush

its fortunate stockholders, the Italian
workers are getting theirs, from the
famous "Charter of Labor" recently
bestowed on them by their Savior"
Mussolini. This has taken the form
Of a 10 per cent wage cut. It is
consoling to note that the employ
ers have also been requested to
make sacrifices. They are willing to
cut the cost of production at the ex-
pense of a ten per cent cut in the
wages Of the workers. This is the
kind Of economy that is NOT prac-
tised in the Soviet Union. There,
economy is never at the expense of
the producers. Which indicates the
basic difference between Fascism and
the proletarian dictatorship.
THE United States government is
buying rifles from Nicaraguan
liberals at the rate of ten dollars
each. The idea is that it is cheaper
to buy rifles than to buy reaction
aries to take the place of those who
might be killed by shots from liberal
rifles. Here is "a good chance for
some enterprising patriot to make a
fortune by buying those rifles from
the government as junk and selling
them at a high price when the Uni
ted States government engages in an
other SERIOUS war in behalf of
civilization. The Morgan fortune
was started in a similar way and in
things financial the Morgans are no
mean guides.

CITY OWNERSHIP
OF TRANSIT LINES
AIDED BY PROBE
But Old Parties Stand
In Way

Although the private negotiations
between Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for the transit commission and the
two subway systems apparently ended
in futility, traction students yester-
day pointed out that at least the
high-handed methods by which the
transit crowd is defrauding the city
of millions every year has been ex-
posed.
Untermyer, in his statement, ac-
cused the companies of demanding
that any sale of the leases they hold
provide that their stockholders be
guaranteed forever dividends equiva-
lent to those issued on last years
earnings. This is the first intima-
ton made by the companies that the
city's subway lines have ever earned
any profits. By insisting that there
exists large yearly deficit, the COM
panies forced the city to issue them
an annual subsidy.
The transit companies also seel,
the sale of the surface lines and ele-
waited lines, Untermyer said. All
these lines have not paid expenses for
many years back, and in most cases
cause greater traffic congestion in
stead of decreasing it. Bus lines are
now running in competition with the
street car lines, and the elevated
lines are so slow and dangerous that
they receive very little patronage.
Solution Easier Now.
The present situation places the
municipal authorities in unique
position; the easiest and most ex-
pedient solution of the transit prob
lem, municipal ownership of all tram
sit lines, one of the leading planks in
the program of the New York section
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
can be effected more easily now than
at any other time in the history of
the problem.
In 1880, according to provisions of
the dual, contracts, the city can re-
capture key lines of the l. r. T. and
B. Nj. 7. By running these lines, for
which $300,000,O00 has been appro-
priated by the state legisture, and the
independent lines now under construc-
ton in competition with those of the
companies, the latter can be forced to
sell out to the city at reasonable
terms. This was mentioned by Inter-
myer in his statement.
Old Parties Against Solution.
Only by municipal ownership, it is
evident, can the five-cent fare be
maintained, for the companies are
financing powerful lobby at Albany
that is gradually winning legislative
support. Governor Smith has already
acceded to the demands of the tran
sit barons.
'Inasmuch as the roads are now
operated at a profit" Untermyer
said, sit is not apparent how an in
creased fare to these roads would
abate or improve the present afro
cious service, or provide single adj
ditional seat for the car riders"
Many democrats, however, have united
with the republicans in aggressive OPP
position to municipal ownership.

INCOME TAX
F OR MS SENT
TO TAXPAYERS

PHOENIX, Jan. Especial to The
Dispatch). Forms for filing income
tax returns for the calendar year 1926
are being distributed to thousands Of
Arizona taxpayers daily, it was an
nounced today by John R. Towles,
collector of internal revenue for the
district of Arizona. Forms for the
filing of individual returns will be re-
ceived by those taxpayers who filed
similar returns for the year 1925 with
in a few days. This will allow all
those who can Immediately make out
their returns to forward them to the
office of the collector now, as the
filing period is from January l to
March 49,. he said.
Assured by the bureau of internal
revenue of prompt service in furnish
ing the necessary forms, taxpayers
need experience no delay in the filing
of their income tax returns this year"
Towles declared. while the filing pc
riod does not expire until midnight,
March Is, there is no reason why the
taxpayers should not file their returns
early to avoid the usual last minute
rush.
The early filing of returns will give
the local internal revenue office the
opportunity of making an audit of the
returns and give the taxpayers the ad-
vantage of correcting mistakes before
the closing of the filing period.
Forms for filing individual, corpora
tion, partnership, information, fidu-
cfary and other returns required by the
revenue act are now available at the
internal revenue office at $40 West
Washington street, Phoenix" Collector
Towles said.
Failure to receive a form does not
relieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to file his return Towles concluded.

More Truth Than Poetry

WHERE IGNORANCE IS WISE

1 think 1 love my fellow men,
l often in my day
Have set them on the road again,
When they have gone astray.
1 know that most of them go wrong
From lack of love and books,
Yet 1 confess / am not strong
For educating crooks
The bandit in his ignorance,
The yegg of low degree;
Who never had the slightest chance
To learn the rule of three,
The burglar, who is sad because
He has but native wit,
Can notwithstanding break the laws
And get away with it.
To these men modern lore impart,
Their eager minds to fill,
Instruct them in the chemists art \
And engineering skill.
Let them continue to advance
Until they are set free,
And then just figure out what chance
There'd be for you and met
If after lads like these are caught
They find confinement irks,
I'd not object to have them taught
From Mrs. Alcott's works.
But these are almost all the books
l ever would allow
The trouble is with modern crooks
They know toe blamed much now!

FORD NEPHEW ASKS
100000 HEART BALM
Asheville Man Sues Prominent
Clubman for Alternating
Wifes' Affections.

By the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE, N. c.. August O.
Charging that Henry Westall. promi-
nent Asheville golfer and clubma n.
alienated the affections of his wife, G.
Wallace Bryant. nephew of Henry
Ford. Detroit automobile manufac-
turer. filed suit in Superior Court here
yesterday against Westall for S100, 1000
damages.
The action was brought with arrest
and bail proceedings and the plaintiff
asked that the defendant be taken into
custody and placed under bond of
500 600 for his appearance when the
case is heard.
The Bryants have two small chill
1ren. both girls, and the complaint sets
forth that on a former occasion when
alleged intimacies were discovered, the
plaintiff needed the plea of the de-
PENDANT and the plaintiffs wife not to
cause trouble and bring publicity be-
cause of the children.
A contract or agreement Is alleged
to have been signed by the defendant
at that time. but it is charged in the
complaint that the defendant broke
his promise to stay away from the
wife of the plaintiff and otherwise vio-
lated the terms of the agreement.
Bryant came here for his health
several years ago and entered the
automobile business later being forced
to give this up when his health be-
came further impaired. 1t was dur
ing this period that he met the de-
PENDANT according to the complaint.
Westall Is prominent in club circles, is
a former aviator and is an outstand-
ing golfer having competed in num-
Der OF tournaments in the South.
