Its a little late to remind you but . your income tax report must be in by tomorrow, that is of course if you owe any thiift. The Mississippi legislature has just killed a bill to tax the bachelors ten dollars a head. They ought to be worth that even in Heflin's state. We are just about through with our annual campaign for renewals of subscriptions and we will appreciate it if those who have neglected it will come in at once. According to Brisbane the world I will continue a hundred million years, which will be long enough for the most of us. It would certainly be interesting to drop in to Decatur, say in fifty million years, but we prob-! ably wouldn’t know (he old place. Jim Ames, a Chicago broker told the officer who summoned him to serve on a jury that he was too busy. The baliff told the judge and the judge told Ames that he might be too busy to serve on a jury but he would probably have plenty of time to serve ten days in jail. There niusCbe considerable to the investigations by the senate in the Teapot Dome oil scandal. Billy Hays lost his temper yesterday and got real excited when cross-questioned by Senator Walsh and its very unusual for the distinguished lawyer, politician and picture expert to let go. When Bill Rogers read the appeal ( from Senator Borah that tile people; donate a dollar each to "save the re- i, sped of the republican party,” he got real generous and mailed in five dollars "to make five republicans respectable” with the wish that he could afford more but with the ex-1 planation that the "continued prosperity had him broke.” Senator James Eli Watson now has a chance to show how good a politician he is. In his fight for the presidential vote in Indiana he is up against Janies Goodrich, Harry New, Ed Wasmuth, Will Hays and several other graduates of the political post-1 graduate school, so he will have to. do his best to oufwit all of them! but it should be remembered that the regular organization is back of Senator Jim for to lose out now means 1 an entirely new deal of old timers ia control of Indiana. •Just when we thought all interested in an Old Home Week had died out along comes a letter from our old friend M. McStoops of Petersburg, Urging that the plans go on and enclosing his cheek for five dollars. You know "Duke” was our first boss and we still take pleasure in comply-' ink with his requests, so there is nothing to do but go on and have the biggest, finest and best Old Home Week ever given. That will make every booster here a better one and every visitor will want to stay here, here. It is feared than nearly a thousand people were drowned as the result of the collapse of the giaut St. Francis dam near I>.»s Angeles yesterday, one of the most terrible disasters of recent years. Thofße who ■ have had charge of the great reser-;

i voir believe that the break was caused either by an earthquake or by an exi plosion of dynamite. Surely no one would commit such an act If he ' realized the consequences but many . threats have been made during recent I years and the investigation should I be thorough and capable. The trans-Atlantic flying season 1 has opened, Captain Hlnchliffe took off yesterday from London and is ex- ' peeled to reach New York City late I this afternoon. It is believed he is accompanied by Miss Elsie Mac Kay, daughter of Lord Inchcape, British ship owner. During the winter I months hundreds have planned to make the thrilling trip and it is more ; than likely that the usual number of fatalities will result. Lindbergh and others who have made the trip or tried it, advise against such attempts, ’ but the more they advise, the more determined many seem to be. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri believes that there are too many laws Jon the statute books of the United States, points out James O'Donnell Bennett in an article in Liberty magazine. The militant senator, according to Mr. Bennett says: "We have written on the staute books of the country over six hundred thousand laws. We have forbidden so many ' things that it is probable that not a I single human being in the United States over ten years old has not violated some statute law. It would require a lifetime to read all the laws and ten lifetimes to understand them. What wonder that the average man has come to regard the law as a sword of oppression rather than a shield of protection.” it is fashionable to attribute crime to inescapable and uncontrollable inherited tendencies; but many things which are the fashion of the time have no sound basis to rest on, and we have no hesitancy in siding with those who hold that bad surroundings in childhood and youth account ; for vastly more crime than bad inheritance. It is a very rare thing for a criminal to come out of happy home surroundings, where correct principles of conduct are unconsciously instilled into children by the example of right living parents, and child life is made too interesting in the home to I seek entertainment in bad companionship outside. Homes of vice, of constant quarreling, of questionable pleasure seeking while children are neglected or left to the care of unprincipled attendants, account for a dozen criminals where one goes astray from a real "home.” Os course the developed criminal calls for the stern arm of the law; but in working towards a time when the developed criminal will be too rare to make serious trouble, nothing is more important than to work for a more general realization of home responsibilities. This is sometimes called "the age of the child,” but until the average child shall have a law-abiding, peaceful and happy home to live in, the way of the child will still bo beset by pitfalls hard to escape.—Columbus Dispatch. -— o—- ,******•>■»*♦*** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * M **»**»****»s WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES ■ WEAK— hookup 9:30 pm.

Tradition tells us that it is their prerogative to take chances, as well as their pleasure. Leap Year was never intended for healthy boys and girls playing in the streets, particularly on roller skates, as pictured above. School children must have exercise and plenty of it. It leads to healthier, stronger bodies and better minds but roller skating in the street in front of passing automobiles leads but to disaster, From records based on reports from 115 cities in the United States approximately sixty-two chillhen under the age of fifteen were killed daily according to the Accident Prevention Department of the Hoosier State Auto in >blle Association. Roller skates and their improper and untimely' use in •lie wrong place is sixth in the order of its danger and resisting fatalities. Sensible boys and girls, of character, will make a New Year's resolution for 1928, not to depend on "leaps" during Leap Year to save them. They will jlst be sensible human beings and do their skating on the sidewalks.

Tips For Taxpayers No. 27 Vai ions penalties are imposed by the statute for failure to file a return and pay the tax on time, and for making a fraudulent return. Distinction is made between failure and "willful failure” to file a return. oFr filure to file a return on time, the penalty s 125 per cent of the amount of the tax, unless a return is later filed and it is satisfactorily shown to the commissioner of internal revenue thxt such failure was due to a reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. If a taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence, and nevertheless' was unable to file a return within the prescribed time, the. delay is due to a “reasonable cause." For willful failure to make a ; .- turn th epenalty is not more than SIO,OOO or imprisonment or not more than one year, or l»oth, and in addition 25 per cent of the amount of the tax. For willfully 'making a false or fraudulent return, the penalty is not more than SIO,OOO or imprisonment tor not more than five years, or both, and in addition 50 per cent of the amount of the tax o *¥¥¥¥¥¥«¥¥¥¥* » TWENTY YEARS AGO * * - * * From the Dally Democrat File * * Twenty Years Aflo Today * * ¥ ¥ * ¥.¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥* Marclt 14, 1908.—Dr. Good is nominated for congress by eleventh dis trict Republicans on the 609th ballot.
