GROWERS TAKING
ACTIVE INTEREST
IN WHEAT PLAN
[COHtinnsd from First Pagel

lCOHtiHHed from Fir5t Pa0sl
tion blanks to the wheat growers,
and those who sign these contracts
to reduce their wheat acreage in
1884 and 1885 in accordance with the
Federal plan which will be an
nounced on August "a by Secretary
Wallace, will become co-operators in
this wheat organization for the
county.
Sometime in the near future local
msetings will be scheduled again in
all sections of the county, at which
local committees will be elected, and
one member from each community
will be selected to membership in
the county wheat association. From
the personnel of the county associa-
tion there will be selected three
wheat growers who will serve on the
allotment committee, and who will
pass upon all appeals of the farm
ers.
Each farmers allotment will be
based on his average wheat yields
for the past three years including
1882, 1881 and 1880, and the premium
payment of about 2S cents a bushel
will be made this year on 81 per
cent of each farmers basic allot-
ment, provided he agrees to reduce
his wheat acreage in 1884 and 1885
according to the percentage which
will be determined by Secretary
Wallace within the next few days.
Two-thirds of this years payment
will be made beginning September
Is, and the remaining one-third will
be paid later. The cost of the ad-
ministration of this plan, which will
be about two cents bushel, will be
deducted from the one-third pay
ment, allowing each co-operator this
fall to receive a premium of 20 cents
bushel on 81 per cent of his 3-year
average production during 1880, 1881
and 1882, and the remaining eight
cents bushel to be paid at later
date.
This premium will also be paid to
each co-operator for 54 per cent of
the wheat which he produces in 1884
and 1885, and in the event of a COM
plete crop failure next year the
farmer will receive this payment on
his average allotment based on the
Syear period of 1880, 1881 and 1882.
The wheat acreages and the names
of those farmers who sign these gov
ernment contracts will be published
in the local press, and each cooper
ator will be required to adhere
to this wheat allotment plan
if he expects to receive the benefits
and to remain a member of the
county wheat association.

WHEN THE CHILDREN KEEP
HOUSE
Mary Elizabeth Thomson

And how dfd you leave the fam
lily, Emma?" Mrs. Worden asked her
sister-in-law. They were working
together getting the dinner ready
for the large company that always
gathered around the table when Mr..
Rankin brought his wife and some
of his children to visit at his sisters
home.
"Oh, they all wanted to come with
U.S." Mrs. Rankine laughed a little
wearily. 81 made a caramel custard
for their dinner and they declared
they wouldn't eat it. Elsie is getting
to be big girl now, but she thinks
she shouldn't be left at home. OF
course the others copy her. Really,
I'd just as soon not go anywhere.
The fuss of getting away and getting
the cooking done in advance takes
all the pleasure out of visiting. But
you know how it is, Mary, you can
not take the children of big fam
lily all out at once. AS Bob says, it's
not visit then but a visitation"
''Oh, I'd be glad to have them all,
bless them. l know how you feel,
though. Mine used to trouble me the
same way They were such a melan-
choly lot when 1 left them and so
jealous of the ones l took with me.
l found a cure for that, however, |
didn't make custards or anything
else for them. They had to cook
their own dinner or supper. Some
times I'd allow them to ask one or
two of their little chums in, and of
course they were then in a great
flutter to show what good cooks and
housekeepers they WERE"
But didn't they waste lot?" ask
ed Mrs. Rankine. "I'd be afraid to
trust our children. They'd be sure to
wreck things"

IN A STREET CAR

But a feeble bent old lady,
With faded, wrinkled face,
Who along the car peered dimly
To obtain vacant place
Yet as if with pulse electric,
Instantly upon his feet
Every man arose to give her
With a smile his empty seat.
Kindly glances rested on her,
Kindly hands were ready there
To support her should she need it,
For her soft and snowy hair
Seemed an aureola of glory
To those care-encumbered men,
AS the mother love within them
Woke to consciousness again.
All! there's nothing half so holy
In this world of sin and woe
AS the love that blessed our child
hood
In the years of long ago;
And a common chord of feeling
Linked together man with man
When the thought of home and mo-
ther
Through that crowd of strangers.

Your Income Tax
No. IL
Gross and Net Income.

Two of the terms used in the income
tax law, namely, gross income" and
met income" should be noted particu-
larly, inasmuch as they are vitality I'M
portant to the whole subject Of the
income tax.
Gross income includes in general all
income from any source whatever, un-
less exempt from tax by law. Net in
come upon which the tax Is assessed
is gross income less the deductions al
lowed by law. Such deductions in
clude business and professional ex-
penses, such as salaries, pensions ana
bonuses to employees, taxes, losses, in
terest paid bad debts, depreciation, de-
pletion, contributions, etc. Failure to
understand deductions against gross in
come and credits against net income
has resulted in numerous errors on the
part of taxpayers.
Having arrived at the net income,
the next step is to deduct the per-
sonal exemption-$1,0 900 for single per-
sons, $2,500 for married persons liv-
ing together and heads of families, and
the $400 credit for each dependent, etc.
The normal tax Is computed on the re-
mainder at the rate Of 4 per cent on
the 1irst $4,000 and 9 per cent on the
balance.
The gross income Of the usual busi-
ness consists Of the gross profits on
sales, plus any income from invest
ments and incidental or outside opera
tons or sources. The return must show
the gross sales, purchases, and cost OF
good sold To reflect income correctly,
inventories are necessary at the be-
ginning and end OF each taxable year.
A lawyer. doctor. architect, physician,
dentist, clergyman, author, or other
professional man must include In
gross income all fees, salaries, and COM
pensation OF any kind for professional

UR|ST APPROVES
ELECTRIC SCALE
Signs Order Agreeing to New
Modified Sliding Figures
on Rates.

(From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays Star.)
Justice Luhring cf the District Su-
preme Court paved the way late today
for the Public Utilities Commission to
carry out its plan to reduce electric
rates February 20.
In signing an order, requested by
the Potomac Electric Power Co., the
commission and Peoples Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech, Justice Luhring agreed
to a new modified siding scale, by
which electric rates will be fixed In the
future.
The decree modified Justice Luhring's
opinion of last year and was submitted
to the court in accordance with an
agreement reached Monday between
Keech, the commission and attorneys
for the power company. 1t reduces the
percentage Of excess profits applicable
for rate reductions.
The sliding scale set up by the agree
ment allows the company to earn 2 per
cent on an agreed valuation. Where
the return in any one year is greater
than per cent and not more than 81
per cent, so per cent of the excess shall
be used for reduction in rates in the
following year; where the return earned
is between 6A and per cent, 60 per
cent of the excess over 8A per cent
shall be used for the reduction of rates:
and. finally. If the amount earned is In
excess of per cent, q further addi-
tiona1 amount of rs per cent of the ex-
cess above Q per cent shall be used in
the reduction.
The decree also provides that If the
rate for any two consecutive years falls
below 6A per cent, or If it falls below
612 per cent for any one 12-m0nth
period, the company shall be entitled
to a prompt increase IN rates 80 as to
assure it a return Of per cent.

MOTIONS TO FREE
WAMPLER ARE Vain
Counsel Attacks Indictment
on Tax Charges at
Removal Hearing.

Countering with barrage Of OBJ
grounds, counsel for T. Morris wampler
today waged a determined battle be-
fore United States Commissioner Need
ham G. Turnage, against efforts of the
Government to remove the attorney
to Baltimore under an Indictment re-
turned there recently. charging income
tax law violations.
William Z. Leahy, chief counsel for
Wampler, made persistent attempts to
secure immediate dismissal of the case,
basing his motion on alleged insuffi-
cheney of the indictment papers and
also on the contention that the income
tax law, under which Wampler is
charged with tax evasion in 1890 and
1891. applies to corporations and not
individuals.
Leahy was overruled in each Of his
motions for discharge of the prisoner
by Commissioner Turnage, who held
that the questions raised were ones
that should be decided not In q removal
hearing, but in the Federal District
Court at Baltimore.
Charges Flaws in Indictment.
Among the contentious cited by
I,eahy in support Of his motions were
that his client had not been properly
identified as the person named In the
indictment; that the Indictment itself
was not properly made out; that a
copy Of the indictment introduced in
evidence had not been proprcly certified;
that the papers were faulty In that they
used the first initial instead of the full
Christian name Of Wampler; that the
indictment did not show that Wampler
hed fojlod RI nav 6tc frrn irrny,no fay
and that section B of the income tax
statute on which the indictment was
predicated Is not applicable to an in
divfdual taxpayer as such.
The hearing was resumed this morn
ing with the appearance on the wit
ness stand Of Charles M. jaime, deputy
clerk Of the Federal Court In Baltimore,
who produced the original indictment
and certified copy thereof. Leahy's
effort TO show that both the original
document and the copy had been sub
jected to erasures went for naught. The
Government closed its case with the
testimony Of jaime, but large num-
Der Of defense witnesses are yet to be
heard.
Sutherland Questioned.
At yesterdays hearing Leany con-
tested the removal proceedings on
various grounds Wampler carefully
examined a copy of the indict-
ment and discovered that the paper
charged him with failure to file
an income tax return on March
is, 1880. for the year 1880, or on March
is, 1891, for the year 1891. Leahy
pointed out that returns for 1880 did
not have to be filed until 1891 and
those for 1881 until the year following.
Before adjournment yesterday the
Government put on the stand its lone
witness, Donald G. Sutherland, special
agent of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
who identified Wampler as the person
named In the indictment. Leahy heat,
edly cross examined Sutherland In an
effort to show there was no actual
proof that his client was the Wampler
named by the grand jury.
