FARMERS SAY BOYS WON’T RETURN TO FARM

Our recent scrap with Germany, in which the youth of the land was mustered 'into military service for the nation’s defense, has convinced the farmer of the middle west that universal military training is unwise as ,a national policy. Prior to the war, opposition to universal training was largely sentimental. It was felt that it might breed war. Today, however, the mid-west farmer knows why he is opposed to it. This is his reason:' “The war took from our farms hundreds of thousands of our 'best young men. Forty per cent refuse to return for farm work. “We believe the same would happen if the farin boys were taken for three months periods for training.”

THAT BIG PAY ROLL

in Washington has to be kept up so our Congressmen (elected for legislation) can devote all their time to party politics. ' If anyone was let out, they, might tell where our millions are going to. Million have been wasted in every conceivable way, but what have they done to H. C. L. or the peace settlement, or the Bolsheviks or the strike question? They are not working for America but for Democrats and Republicans. , „ Now I see why they are spending more millions for ships built of concrete.

ALMOST BILLION IN TAXES PAID IN

Washington, D. C., March 25.— Income and excess profits taxes aggregating >908,829,172 were paid as the first installment of the nation’s tax bill for 1919. While these figures do not represent an exact one-fourth of the taxes of last year, they indicate collection for the entire year of approximately >3,500,000, treasury officials said last night. The first installment , more than offsets outstanding treasury certificates of indebtedness, issued in anticipation of the payment, and leaves the treasury in a position to continue its financial program outlined several months ago. Collections for the first period of 1918 were approximately >1,200,000,000, the reduction this year being due to the lowering of the normal income tax rate. The second district of New York, comprising the heart of the financial section, held its place in yielding the greatest amount of revenue of all collection districts, as it has for many years. Its total was >154,050,989. Collections included: Illinois, >83,274,672. Indiana, >15,838,470. Kentucky, >7,970,147. New York, >214,644,232. Ohio, >63,029,667.
