Harding as president of the United States will receive something like I $18,000 less compensation from the government annually than Woodrow Wilson has received. The treasury will pay Mr. Hard | ing the same amount that it pays i Mr. Wilson?$75,000 annually? I but internal revenue bureau officials say that Mr. Harding must return : nearly one-fourth of this in income : tax. ' ' President Wilson was exempted from the income t^x under a su preme court ruling because he came into office before the enactment of the 191& revenue laws, under which taxes were sought to be imposed on the salaries of the president and of federal judges. The supreme court! held that the tax could not be col-, lected in the case of incumbents be- jj cause of the constitutional inhibi-j tion against the reduction of the salaries of the executive and feder-, al judges during their terms of of llVCi The solicitor general has ruled that the tax could be collected fron\j officials taking office after the law became effective, because that j would not bring about any reduc-. tion in salary during the term of of- j fice. Revenue bureau officials say that | Mr. Harding, of course, will be al-j lowed the usual exemption of $2,-j 000 a year for a married -man and may claim certain exemptions. Plac ing his exemptions at $2,000 yearly, however, they figure Tils normal in-j come tax at $5,480, and his surtax! at $iz,y4u, a total 01 $i8,4zu. President Wilson is understood to \ / have paid some taxes under the 1918 law before the supreme court ruled on the section, which a feder al judge attacked, but revenue bu reau offiicals will not say how mucn nor whether it was refunded, hold ing that u^nder the law such matters are confidential.

MEMBER OF HOUSE HAS WEEVIL TRAP \ "Yes, sir," said Representative S.' J. Sellers of Chesterfield county last night, "I have at home an in-j sect exterminator that is some mur-' derer when it comes to bugs. You| can open up tnat insect extermina-| tor of mine in a r^om" and watch the ] flies go down its throat just like: chickens going into your garden to j scratch up everything you have ? planted. ^ "And what is more," he continued,; 'iyou can set this exterminator of mine up in a field at night, put an electric bulb at each of its mouths start, the suction to working and boll weevils, moths and everything that flies will go down its pipes like frogs down a crane's throat. Representative Sellers has his in vention patented and he has a model of it at home. It is composed of a fly wheel, which creates a pow erful suction in a flexible tube which has a bell shaped mouthy This mouth can be moved about and Rep resentative Sellers says that every fly that comes within its range "just disappears like a quarter m some of these restaurants." The larger machine is intended to be set up in a, cotton field, has many mouths and looks somewhat like a giant octopus. At night the mouths pnntnin an olontrip hnlH +d rlrnw flying insects; in the day, the mouths are to be equipped with bait. ' i "If I were to put this machine in the house of representatives," said the Chesterfield citizen last night, 'it would?-well, I don't know what it would do."?The State. A LETTER FROM A FRIEND Col.
