at Is time some leadership and some
party called our attention to the fact
there is no magic cure for the ills and
the evils of human folly. We trod the
primrose path of extravaganza, OF
thoiightless and of almost criminal
neglect of every sound principle Of
human conduct, from the individual to
the government, and the individual
was aided, encouraged, and abetted on
that path by the government and those
responsible for its administration"
Zone of the biggest things was q
watered state Of mind in which we all
thought we were richer than we were,
and were living beyond our means"
''In my opinion, no great division Of
human society has ever been lied to,
and lied about, as much in the same
period of time as has the American
farmer"
''This then is my hope for our future
that we may be rich without forget
ting to be righteous; that we may be
powerful without being extensively
proud; that we may be nationally
minded without being narrow-minded;
and, finally, that we may live in world
of fact without surrendering our faith"
1T would urge consideration Of the
complete adjustment of so-called floor
trading, which, as am informed, has
about it most of the characteristics of
plain crap shooting, and few, If any,
more redeeming features than that de-
lightful Ethiopian pastime."
"It is bad enough when the inte1li-
gent and wealthy speculate and lose,
but when scrubwomen, day laborers,
small home owners, wives and youths
speculate and lose, simply because they
can go to a brokers' Office and get
credit for small sums, the practice
ceases to be defensible on any ground. -
"Out Of the stress and difficulty Of
the situation believe gradually we
shall return to simpler thinking and
simpler living. For it seems to me
that we want above everything to
abandon the struggle to live up with
the Joneses, and to rediscover the true
purpose Of life, which is the Joy to be
found in the simple virtues Of indus
try, thrift and sane living. believe in
our people, in our country, and in the
God who directs our destinies; and !

Committees Being Formed Tt
Receive Crop Loan
Applications

County committees, now being
formed as rapidly as possib e, are the
authorities through which farmers
who need funds should apply for
crop production loans from the $780,.
900, 900 allocated to the Secretary of
Agriculture for that purpose by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Act, Henry S. Clarke, National
Director of 1882 Crop Production
Loans, said today, in outlining the
procedure to be followed in applying
for loans.
Mr.. Clark emphasizes that loan
applications must be approved by
the county committee. These COM
mittees are being selected and full
local publicity will be given to the
selections as soon as they are COM
pleted. In counties where there is a
county agent, he can usually give
farmers information regarding loan
applications.
If loan application is satisfactory
to the county committee, they for
ward it to the regional office where
it is checked by the regional legal
department and also by State repre-
sentatives who are familiar with con.
ditions in the region from whish
the application comes.
If approved by the regional office,
checks are mailed Immediately for
the initial installment of the loan.
The right is reserved to make the
loan in installments.

States Open Fight On Gasoline
TTax

|, Action of the State of Virginia in
lodging formal opposition with Con-
gress this week against the proposed
one cent Federal caroline tax as the
opening gun in a fight to be wsged
against the proposal said j. Borton
Weeks, president of the American
Motorists Association.
"a one cent Federal tax, in effect
means a Is per cent increase in
gasoline taxes for the motorists. II
is sales tax. Objection to the
Federal tax, from the motorists
viewpoint, however, is not predicat-
ed on the fact that it is a sales tax but
because the tax will go into the gen.
eral revenue funds of the U, S.
Treasury Department, and be divert
ed from highway conrucsttion and
maintenance, the basic justification
for the tax.
Motorists as a class are already
taxed more heavily than any oththr
group, Gasoline as a commodity in
many states is now taxed more than
100 per cent of its costs, through
county, municipal and state taxes.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
WAS A SUCCESSFUL
STOCKMAN

George Washington was a
farmer as well as a soldier and
a President, the United States
Department of Agriculture says
Washington was born and
reared on a farm and he always
returned to his Mount Vernon
estate when he was not called
to public duty by his country.
Although tobacco was the
important Virginia crop, Wash
ington also took an active in
terest in livestock. At one time
he had 100 horses on his Mount
Vernon estate. His sheep num-
bered more than 600 in 1898
and in the same year he had
over 800 cattle. Washington
was also probably the first per-
son to raise mules in this
country. He received two
jacks and two jennets as a gift
from the King of Spain and
also received a jack and two
jennets from Lafayette. Oxen
were used for heavy work on
the plantation but Washington
had many work horses also.
Kept riding horses and broke
and trained his own animals.
He was interested in increasing
the wool clip of his flock and at
i one time got as much as 51a
pounds of wool to the fleece
while his neighbors got only
about 21h pounds.
Washington's will, made in
the year of his death, listed
more than 1000 head of live
stock, conservatively valued
at more than $4,000. He was
handicapped in his livestock
raising because his overseers
and slaves were inefficient and
he was forced to rely on them
when he was serving as Presi-
dent and at other times when
he was in the public service.

INCOME TAX RETURNS

The Bureau OF Internal Revenue Is
faced with unusual problems during
the current income tax filling period,
which runs from January l to March
Is, 1892. Due to the uncertainty in
the minds of the public as to whether
the Congress will enact legislation
that will apply to the calendar year
1881, large number of taxpayers
have refrained up to this time from
filling returns. This means that if
taxpayers continue to postpone until
shortly before March Is the impor-
tant duty of filing their income tax
returns, there will be such congestion
at that time as greatly to interfere
with the orderly administration OF
the Government tax collecting
agency.
In view of the fact that no legislation
has been adopted which alters the
rates or exemptions under which re-
turns were filed last year, income tax
forms should be filed without delay
on the same basis as in 1881. To dc
this Immediately would be OF great
assistance. The fifteenth of March
is the deadline for filing returns
without penalty. To file returns
early gives the internal revenue office
a chance to dispose OF them, in
solar as the preliminary stages are
concerned, prior to the last minute
rush.
When returns are first received in
the office of the Collector OF Inter
nal Revenue they must be verified
for the purpose!of determining their
mathematical accuracy. Why not
perform this task for the Govern
ment. Taxpayers have no doubt
reviewed their income returns ano
are satisfied they are corrected in
every particular. AS an extra pre-
caution they should 60 over then
again and see if the computations viii
stand the test of scrutiny in thu
Government office. When mistake:
of this nature are made, refunds
must be allowed if the saerror is If
favor of the taxpayer. If the mistake
means additional tax for the Govern
ment considerable work must b.
performed by the Collector to asses
the tax and bill the taxpayer to-
the additional amount. If tn
Government can be relieved of thi
additional labor, and what is NOR
important, of the additional expense
why not do it, because in the fina
analysis an expense saved for tn
Government is equivalent to it
value in additional tax. In helping
the Government during these time
we are helping ourselves and we ow'
it to our country and to our fellow
citizens to lessen the Government
burden wherever possible.
Hon. David Burnet, Commissions
of Internal Revenue at Washington
d. c., has declared it to be his goa
to have all taxpayers file their income
tax returns in so accurate a name
that at least no mathematical change
whatever will be necessary upol
their examination by the representa-
tives of the Bureau of lnterna
Revenue.
Promptness and accuracy on tn
part of taxpayers will result in re
ducing to minimum the cost of oper
alton of the Bureau. That is a
objective greatly to be desired.
