ZMHrco, 8. C. February 13, 1019. The dough bops who are coming baak over the ocean don't care who roeka the boat ao long as they get b&ak tjuiekly. Getting tax money to take the place j f income from liquor licenses is worrying many states, but the f man who spent several dollars a week i for kqaor won't be found paying that < mach more for taxes. g t The high cost of living is said to g ho oa the skids. It has a long way to g go In Dillon before it hits rock bot- > to*. When that time comes there will be a thud like an earthquake. e t Japan threatens to lick' China if i she makes public certain secret peace c treaties between the two countries, c Bat maybe China knows if she makes I public the secret treaties Japan will have to whip two or three other nations at the same time. ^ I Wo are not alarmed over the report that Germany wants to fight again, a When a man gets a. good licking he c Is not anxious to scrap it over a ? second time. a AiYBRfl AND RAILROADS. J a Commercial experts still do not i agree upon the relative value of ca- c nals, and rivers otj the one hand, and 1 railroads on the other. f 9om* claim that the days of canal k and river traffic are over; that traf- ? fio will take to the swifter means of locomotion. Others say that adequate canals and river servise will produce cheap- 2 er aad satisfactory freight transpor- t tatloa for the heavier kinds of . freight, regarding the transportation ] of which time is not a great factor. Northeoa Trance and Belgium has a great many railroads; and a great many canals. That should answer the t*eotion. , 1VHM( ABOUT AGRICULTURE? There is some talk in certain quart_ erg hhont a labor surplus. It is hard to come to tfais conclusion after analystat tho situation. Unfortunately few people stop to think before they .speak. Tho facts are these: There was a' labor shortage before we entered the! , war. Immigration from Europe had I bgeo cut off for four years. Th# shortage of labor in the coun-1 trjr was prodigious?and will contin-| ue this year. As soon as spring opens! up ths demands of the country dis?; tricts will make tremendous inroads upoa the so-called labor surplus in eertahs cities. The agricultural manpower shortage is estimated at 3,000,men. Factories are rapidly getting on a peace basis and are going ahead full tilt. Public works on an unprecenden j ted scale are to be started this spring and carried on throughout the summor Whatever labor surpluq exists can only be temporary. There Is nothing for workingmtn to worry about. And also nothing for anyone else to vorry about. i J THIS WILL NEVER WORK. The Bolsheviki doctrine in Ameri- 1 ea is a sure loser. A writer from Russia has stated that it is composed of the following elements: High wages; no work; take other ' people's property; no punishment; ^ no taxation. When Leon Trotzky was in Araer- ( ica he learned as little concerning , American workers as a mole. . Though not a bourgeois, the American workmen is not trying to be one, and he believes he will succeed if he keeps at it long enough. In Russia 85 per cent of the population can't read; and it thinks with the efficiency of a mud turtle. The Bolsheviki will never convert America. Our public schools and the opportunities for education made the American workman too intelligent. THE ZONE MAILING SYSTEM. The zone mailing system seems to be a just and equitable manner in which to levy postage rates upon newspapers. Only large metropolitan papers and magazines oppose it because it doesn't provide the postage subsidy of the flat rate plan. There is no reason why the government of the United States should hand over a Dostaee subsidy of from 80 to 90 million dollars a year to big city papers and magazines. Be- ( Tore the zone system was adopted exictly this was done, big, heavy newspapers and magazines being sent through the mails at approximately me-eighth what it cost the govern nent to transport them. The zone system is a p?;-as-you-go proposition ? every publication pays jxactly as much postage as the dis;ance traveled to reach a subscriber palls for. The Senate seems disposed to kill :he zone postage law at the behest o" he big city publishing interests, who squeal that the public is losing in 'ducation and information by being i lenied the perusal of big, wordy perodicals sent to their doors at a great oss to the public. | It was brought out in evidence be- a ore Congress that the Curtis Pub- j ishing Co., of Philadelphia, publish- [ ?rs of the Saturday Evening Post ?J T * <11 An IlnmA Tnnrn o 1 cont 3 LI1U IUC juauics I1V1UU UWU1 HU1, wv?v heir publications through the mails a it a loss of $4,000,000 a year to the 1 s jovernment before the soiling system , vent into effect. Small city newspapers want no sub_ j tidy; they do not want to go through \ he mails at a loss to the govern- a nent. They merely want a square leal for the Government, for the ^ leal from the Government, for the 1 >eople and for themselves. o CITATION.

That there will be no general extension of time beyond March 15th for the filing of returns and for the payment of Income -and Excess Profits taxes due on that date, is the decision of Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The announcement was made todav by Collector D. C. Hey ward immediately following the approval by the Senate and House of the report of the conferees on the new Revenue Bill. "It is necessary to get the initial tax payments in by March the 15th" says Commissioner Roper. "Nb other course is possible. Some months ago, the Treasury issued certificates of indebtedness to an amount approximating $800,000,^00, maturing March 15th. The first payment of the income and Excess Profits Taxes fcr 1918 was planned for that date, to meet this huge obligation. "The American people have prov?n that there is no emergency too jreat to be met and solved by co-opjration. This present siiuation is anather emergency which can be over:ome by co-operative efforts. The Ruren.il extends its everv fnr'e to svards this end, and I am relying upon :he people to meet the situation vhole heartedly. "The Internal Revenue Bureau nust carry out the programme prescribed in the new law, which reluires all returns for 1918 to be filed >n or before March 15th, 1919, and eqnires the first quarterly payment )r the entire payment to be made on >r before that date. "Every taxpayer who can possibly lo so is urged to make full# payment )f his income tax on or before March 15th. The quarterly payment method s intended for taxpayers whose finincing of the tax at one time would end to upset local financial conlitions. "The approval of the report of the :onferees by the Senate and House of lepresentativefi brings the new Revinue Bill to the point where it may >e assumed to be law. The Internal tevenue Bureau has been making reparations to collect the taxes vhich it provides, and is now putting .11 of its efforts into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the obligations im osed. "The Bureau has arranged to send in advisory force of several thousinds of deputies and agents to assist axpayers. These officers will be tationed at convenient points where hey may be consulted without harge. Taxpayers should take the nitiative and get in touch with these j levenue Men for any needed advice ,nd assistance in preparing returns, j "The forms for the tax returns are; eing printed and all forms will be I n the hands of Collectors between . i'eburary the 15th and March 1."
