One of Editors of Golfers
Magazine Analyses Argu-
ments For and Against a
Missouri Valley Authority
In Last Weeks Edition.

Under the title of zone more river
to boss, Kyle Crichton. one of the
editors of Golfers magazine, analyses
the arguments for and against the
establishment of a Missouri Valley
Authority to coordinate the develop
ment of the Missouri river with due
and proper consideration of the need
for irrigation, flood control. power de-
velopment and navigation in the in
terests of the people in the Missouri
valley and the nation as whole
Calling attention to the advocacy of
the st. Louis Post Dispatch for a
MVA, the writer brings out that it
was the result of watching the bicker-
ing between the Bureau of Reclama-
ton and the Army Engineers and the
divergent interests of these agencies
while the upper reaches of the river
remained unirrigated and the lower
suffered millions of dollars of damage
each year from floods
The writer then relates how GER
tain other newspapers answering the
Post Dispatch, gave it criticism in
showers, mentioning the Kansas
City Star which objected to a MVA
on the ground that 'it wanted no part
of project that would irrigate 4,O0O,-

tition for Kansas and Missouri farm

Omaha World Herald and various gov

ton. These criticisms, according to
the article were a.. swered in this
way:
"The Post-Dispatch answered the
Kansas City Star by saying that it
was the shortsightedness of sectional
interests that had brought the valley
to its present plight 1t said further
that the States Rights people were
talking through their hats. How could
they object to MVA when both the |

new RULES FOR
Unfolding TAX

The revised rates for Withholding
income tax from wages, provided by
the Individual Income Tax Act of
1914, apply to all wages paid by an
employer to his employees on and
after January 1, 1915, regardless of
when the wages were earned, Lewis
Penwell, collector of internal revenue,
explained today.
Under the new law for example,
any wages earned in December, but
not paid to the employee until Jan
uary 1 or later, are subject to the
new Withholding rates.
On the average, about the same
amount of tax will be withheld under
the new rates as was withheld under
the old rates. However, since the
rates wer erevised to adjust each en-
ployees Withholding more closely to
cases the Withholding may be either
more or less than before.
Collector Penwell further explained
that the Withholding Receipt, form
VIZ (Rev), for 1914 to be given by
employers to all employees by Jan
uary 81, 1915, must show all wages
actually paid during 1914, together
with the amount of income tax with
held during the calendar year.
If any wages earned in December
are not paid to the employee until
January 1, or later, such wages must
ont be included on the 1914 withhold
ing Receipt, he said. Inasmuch as
practically all wage earners who may
use these Receipts as their 1914 re-
turns file returns on the basis of in
come received during the year, inclu-
sion in the receipt of any wages not
actually paid in 1914 would result in
