Holland discontinued capital pun
ishment half a century ago. Old Bill j
Hohenzollern knew where he was !
headed for when he fled to Holland.
There is a good deal being said
about what it is going to cost to keep
the country dry- But did you ever
think about what it formerly cost to
keep it wet?

Secretary Lane who recently re
signed a $12,000 job in the Presi
dent’s cabinet, has taken a position as
attorney for an oil corporation at a
salary of $50,000. Reason enough,
isn’t it, for quitting the cabinet?
The United Mine Workers are de
manding another increase in pay and
are threatening to strike again if the
increase is not granted. A few agi
tators in this organization are rapid
ly carrying their demands to the
point where the United Mine workers
are becoming a menace to this coun
try. We believe in fair treatment
for labor, but unionism has reached
the point where it has lost all sense
of fairness toward the employer, the
public or anybody else, and if this
thing keeps up, the government is
going to have to take steps to dis
solve this form of unionism.
Secretary Daniels of the Navy says
that unless there is a League of Na
tions, or if the United States stays
out of it, thi- country must have the
biggest navy in the world. Might as
well go ahead and build it, -Mr. Sec
retary. By the time our big navy
becomes old and out of date, maybe
the senate will have ratified the
peace treaty.
Uplifting is getting altogether too
much commercialized. Thousands of
them now a days make business of it
and draw fat salaries until half the
money donated in the hundred “driv
es” goes to pay overhead expenses.
The country would be much benefit
tod if about ten thousand of the up
lifting men were at work producing
something, and about the same num
ber of uplifting women would stay at
home and attend to their husbands,
children and household duties. We
who work are continually called up
on to put up for thousands of drones
whose only work is their mouths, and
it is getting to bo an infernal nuis
ance.—Clarendon Sun.
A BEATEN TRAIL TO ARKANSAS
Dr. Bradford Knapp, the new dean
of Arkansas College of Agriculture in
addressing the stock growers at their
Little Rock meeting referred to his
visit to Denmark some years ago, to
see what was the foundation of the
successful co-operation of Danish
farmers. He found their success wa3
in the matter of producing the goods;
the best butter, best bacon and best
eggs in Europe, and therefore no ef
fort was necessary to market their
goods, the products being so superior
that the market promptly came to
the! Dr. Knapp illustrated this
with Emerson’s verse which told of
the beaten path to the woods where
lived the man who invented an arti
cle that created the edmand. The
quality of the goods produced, there
fore, goes fur toward selling the
goods. Arkansas farmers should fix
a high standard and produce such
quality of goods that the market will
“beat a trail” into the State.

ILARNYARI) MANUK VALUABLE
Commercial fertilizers are very
high; and all barnyard manure should
be utilized to the best advantage—not
a forkful wasted. Barnyard manure
supplies nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash and humus; and all available
barnyard manure should be applied to
the fields.

j. S. INCOME TAX
EXEMPTS NOBODY
E'.ery Person Who Had Income
in 1919 Must Determine
Own Liability.
MARCH 15 LAST FILING DATE.
Surest Way Is to Follow Form 10T0A.
Free Advice in Doubtful Case*.
Severe Penalties in
Law.
Nobody is exempt from Income Tax.
An obligation is luid directly on the
shoulders of each citizen and resident
to consider his own case and to get his
return in on time if one is due.
With each return showing a tax due
a payment must accompany the return
In tile full amount of the tax or at
least one-quarter of the tax.
All returns for 1919 must be filed on
or before March 15.
Must Show True Figures.
In figuring up his earnings for in
come tax purposes a person must take
Into consideration all items of taxable
income, and each item itself must lie
accurate in amount. Guesses and es
timates must be avoided, for the re
turn is made under oath.
Everybody who had an income dur
ing 1919 must now determine whether
his or her net income was sufficient in
amount to require an Income Tax re
turn. The best way to find out is to
get a Form 1040A and follow the in
structions printed on it. That form
will serve as a reminder of every item
of income; and if a return is due, it
fells how to prepare and file it.
One of the important points to keep
in mind is that a person’s net income
is found by a computation prescribed
In the law, and that each item of in
come from every source must lie con
sidered. unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember is that
i lie personal exemption allowed tax
payers by law has no relation whatever
to the requirement to file return. This
exemption is not to be considered until
a person lias figured out his net in
come and determined whether it was
sufficient to require him to file a re
turn. Then, if a return must lie filed,
he should read carefully the instruc
tions for claiming exemption, and com
plete his return.
If in doubt on any point us to income
or deductions, a person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue office. Many banks
and trust companies are also furnish
ing similar service during hanking
hours.
Heavy Penalties In Law.
For failing to make a return on time
i he penalty is a tine of not more than
$1,(XX) and an addition of 25 per cent
to tlie tax, if any. For making a false
or fraudulent return the penalty is a
fine of not more than $10,000 or im
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
both; and, in addition, 50 per cent of
the tax. There are other penalties for
failing to pay tax when due and for
understatement of the tax through
negligence.
Many Sources of Income.
Aside from what one may earn by
his services, there are many other
sources of income. If lie sold any
property during 1919 lie must figure
out the gain realized. If lie rented
buildings, land, apartments or rooms
such rents must be considered taxa
able, and be may claim deductions for
necessary expenses incidental to rents.
Bank interest is a common source
of income and is taxable whether with
drawn or not. Any amount of Interest
credited to a depositor is income to
the depositor.
Interest on mortgages and notes is
taxable; also bond interest received
from corporations.
A taxpayer who cashed his insur
ance during 1919 must report as in
come any excess receives! over the to
tal of premiums paid.
Members of partnerships or personal
service corporations or beneficiaries of
an estate or trust must report their
shares of income distributable to them
whether or not actually withdrawn.
Dividends of domestic corporations

of income are taxable, unless specific
ally exempted.
