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. |

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

NO EXTENSION OF TIME.
Income Tax lieturns Must be Made
On or Before March' lf?th.
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."
