New York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. Advertising office* { Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, O. Logan Payne Cos COUNTRY would not begrudge President Harding this vacation if only he had taken Congress along. THAT MAN who took out an accident insurance policy at noon and •vas injured at 4:39 o’clock didn’t have to wait long for results. MAYOR SHANK, to be consistent, should now lead a "mob’’ on the Ratehouse to congratulate the public service commission. THE MEMBERS of the board of public safety showed becoming modesty in contenting themselves with mere gold-plated badges—purchased for sßs—v-ben by the same process they could have gone the limit Dogs and the Administration The relative importance of dogs to the administration of the city may not be apparent to the average citizen on first thought, but members of Mayor Shank’s official family are finding that their care is a very definite and important thing. The law provides for the licensing of all dogs harbored within the city and as a means of enforcing the license ordinance provides that a dog pound must be. maintained, where all stray dogs, or dogs without licenses, shall be impounded for a definite period of time, during which they may be redeemed by their owners and after which they are doomed '.o death unless claimed. During the Jewett administration arrangements were made by the dndianapolis Humane Society udder which dogs impounded and no* claimed by their owners might be taken from pound by individuals who agreed to give them proper homes and were willing to pay the license fees exacted by the city/ Under this arrangement hundreds of dogs gathered in as strays by the dog pound attaches have been sent into homes where they became much prized pets. The animals were saved from untimely deaths and the city treasury was enriched by the payment of the license fees. Great care was taken by the Humane Society agents to see that the dogs were obtained from the pound for no other purpose than to become family pets and the arrangement has been of mutual benefit to the city, the society, the dogs and the dog lovers. This arrangement was continued by the Shank administration, which appointed ]>r. Elizabeth Conger pound master. Mrs. Conger was one of the Humane Society agents who devoted the greater part of her time to the society’s work at the pound and she has been serving the city as pound master without recompense, turning her salary' over to a former attache of the pound who is not now on the city pay roll, but gives the pound all of his time. Financial depression, combined with an increase in the dog license fees, has resulted recently in the overcrowding of the quarters provided for the dog pound at the city yards on East New York street. The place is ill fitted for its purpose and as a result of the crowding and lack of sanitary arrangements impounded dogs have been subjected to Infection and it is impossible to give the animals the care they should have. x This condition was anticipated 'by the meiribers of the Humane So ciety several years ago and by much effort the society has succeeded in the erection of a suitable shelter home on the Pendleton pike, near the city limits. It is now proposed by the society that this shelter home be leased by the city and devoted to the purposes of a dog pound. The society plans to devote the rental from the shelter home to the payment of the balance due for the erection of the building and to make the place take rank among the shelter homes that other cities have erected for the purpose. There is some argument presented that the expense of this lease is an unnecessary burden for the city to bear, but in view of the fact that the annual rental would be less than SI,OOO and the dog licenses bring into the city treasury a greater sum than that each month, the argument does not seem well grounded.
Court Rebukes State B oard The decision of the Appellate Court in halting the growing tendency of the State board of accounts to resolve itself into a judicial body instead of performing its duties as stipulated by statute should have an important bearing upon the future conduct of that office. The court pertinently calls attention to the fact that the government consists of three co-ordinate branches—the legislative, the executive and the judicial, and remarks that “to concede the Legislature may create a department of inspection and%supervision of public offices, and endow it with power to supervise and control the three constitutional departments, would be to concede that the Legislature has power to transform our State government from a republic to a despotism.” The Legislature intended that the board should confine its activities to examining the accounts of such public officers as handle public funds, and the appellate Court judges could find nothing in the law that would grant zealous officials attached to the State board of accounts authority “to control the discretion of any public officer, administrative board or other governmental agency whatsoever.” It is simply a “buseau —a subdepartment of the executive department.” There is not a public officer in the State of Indiana who has not felt the power of the board of accounts and in many instances this piwer has been properly used with an accruing benefit to the taxpayers. The examiners of the board have been instrumental in ferreting out ?n* bezzlements, although in a great many instances they came too lat to save public funds, as instance the recent disclosure of a gigantic dissipation of public funds In Marlon County. They also have been to a considerable degree, in causing officials to adhere strictly to duty and to maintain correct business systems in their offices, all of which has redounded to the public good. But there has been a deal of complaint, especially or recent years, that the board had arrogated to itself functions that particularly belonged to other departments of the government. That this usurpation of judicial prerogatives has been true is aptly confirmed by the just rebuke administered by the Appellate Court. Manna for the Loan Sharks After failure to get the service men to engage in a fight with the Anti-Saloon League to get a bonus, after they had fought a winning war overseas, a Republican Congress, crazy or frightened, now proposes that the former soldiers engage in a battle with loan sharks-and unscrupulous persons In an effort to keep the faith as propounded in the Republican platform of two years ago. “The situation as to adequate bonus legislation does not appear any more hopeful now than three weeks ago. The only thing that is reflected in house sentiment is that there must be bonus legislation as a political exigency.” This is the phraseology of a special from Washington. It sums up the situation splendidly. Only a political exigency, it is now apparent, has changed Mr. Harding and made him turn about face after his first bltt/er opposition to a bonus of any kind just a year ago. In other words only fear of the results next November has influenced the present House. The question of right or wrong is not considered. Only politics counts. The present scheme of the Republicans is an obnoxious one. It Is calculated to put a large part of the bonus into the hands of loan sharks, who will discount the certificates when the men receiving them need the money, and become the creditors of the Government for the principal. the loan brokers of the country had absolute control of Congress they could not secure the passage of a measure better calculated to enrich them. We do not doubt that the former soldiers themselves are opposed to this straddling proposition. At the best it just means that the payment will be deferred; but tbe Republican Administration does not care, for all it hopes for is to get by next fall and then trust to God for Borne providential solution of the problem later. Past experience shows that many veterans, particularly after the Mexican war, who were given land, sold theik rights for a mere song. Chairman Fordney has dug a pit for himself and his political friends in Congress. He has to show something better than this loan shark scheme. Real soldiers are likely to be antagonistic to a plan, just another one that has been sponsored by an Admin*tration more poverty-stricken for real statesmanship than any in the retard of those now living.— Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette.
WALLIE HAS A GOO DNIGHT PUNCH IN HJS LEFT FIST The Handsome Villain Is Pres ent—The Hardboiled Husband Also Is Here
Keep away from Wallie Reid’s left fist if he has the boxing gloves on and be ot too friendly with his right. You will thank me for the tip after you see Wallie in “The World’s Champion," which is the movie man’s idea of turning a stage success, “The Champion,’’ into a screen entertainment. The last half of the picture has some good “punches”—couldn't help using that expression. The movie version begins about six years before the stage version begins and one who has seen Grant Mitchell in the play will not recognize the movie until the picture is about half over. This liberty does not harm the picture. Fight fans will have the time of their lives in seeing Wallie Held turn champion. The "shots’’ of a “middleweight championship fights’ are well bandied and Wallie gets by in the role, although I can not associate hime with the characteristics of a champion, but Carpentier smiled, ! you know. The difference is that Wallie’s smile Is not knocked off. Tell you the story? No, 1 guess not, because I told you all about the story when Grant Mitchell presented this com edy of English life on the stage. The movie version has been tastefully mounted, most of the scenes being interiors. There is a charming swing to this movie and several comedy touches which get over big. The male part of any audience will enjoy this movie and the women (will enjoy the society satire which is I handled in a clever fashion, i The cast is as follows: | William Burroughs Wallace Reid l Lady Elizabeth Lois Wilson 'John Burroughs Lionel Belmore ! George Burroughs Henry Miller, Jr. Mrs. Burroughs Helen Dunbar | llev. David Burroughs Leslie Casey l Lord Brockington S. J. Sandford i Butler W. J. Ferguson ; Moonev Guy Oliver j As 1 hare said, Reid gives a good ac- | count of himself whether he wears a dress 'suit or the garb ot a champion. W. J. I Ferguson as the butler affords much of the comedy. Ferguson is a clever actor when it comes to putting over dry humor. The onlv one weakness in the cast is Lionel Belmore as John Burroughs, thq ! socially ambitious father of the champion, iAt times he appears to over act. His greatest fault Is that he over emphasizes. I think that tie most of us will enjoy Wallie Reid in "The World s Champion." At the Alhambra ail week.—W.

De Mine’s dream. Hts name Is Theodore Kosloff and he may be seen any time this week at the Ohio, because “Fool’s Paradise” Is being held over for a second week. Generally the movie villain is far from being a beauty, but Kosloff makes the villain In this movie a haudsome critter. Am glad he doesn't get killed, although he Invites trouble all the way through this movie. And this villain is madly in love with Dorothy Dalton, who play 9 the role of a pretty hungeron in a sort of a cabaret dance hail and thirst quenching n---i porium. Dorothy loves not the handsome i villain. She is “wild’’ over Conrad Nagel She treats Conrad badly because she gives him a loaded cigar which causes him to go blind for quite a spell. Blindness to Conrad was a terrible ordeal because he could no longer sec Mildred Harris. So Dorothy sees a chance to impersonate Mildred, who Is cast ass French dancer. In the meantime, the villain seeks to win Dorothy for his own. but she refuses. Why she refuses adds Interest and suspense to “Fool's Paradise." At the Ohio ail week. —W. D.

You will see a different Tom Mix In "Chasing the Moon.” Tom has a dreadful time in this movie as he thinks he has been poisoned and which does its deadly work within thirty days. Os course, Tom does some chasing because he Is after a certain professor who is the only man In the world who knows the antidote. The professor in question has an Inconvenient way of suddenly going to all corners of the world. And our Tom gives him a chase for life. This movie is played In a comedy vein and the subtitles aid In creating comedy effects. This movie Is jammed full of action and, although the story Is Improbable, It will entertain the spectator from the first chase to the last one. Mix probably is more than satisfied with this story as he helped Edward Sedturn this one out. It Is a Fox P-oductlon and “Chasing the Moon" fills the bill for those who are looking tor excitement and thrills. Although Mix is about the whole picture, yet we give the cast In full as follows : Dwight Locke Tom Mix Jane Norworth Eva Novak Milton Norworth William Buckley Velvet Joe Sid Jordan Princess Sonia Elsie Danbrie Prince Albert Wynn Mace “Chasing the Moon" is a good title for this one.

when "Stardust" made its first local appearance here. Noel Tearle created the orginial “hardboiled egg" of a husband. I doubt If that sort of a critter could live in the smallest of small towns. Even Hope Hampton as Lily Becker couldn't stand him as a husband. So she left him in this story. And speaking of impossible mothers, there are two of ’em in “Stardust.” Their names are Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Penny. Both seem to run a race to determine who has the most vinegar in their systems. And all the time these three impossl- ] bie representatives of the American home j are exhibiting their sourgrape attitude, you get all excited and even interested over the fate of Lily Becker. When “Stardust" was finished, Fannie Hurst, who wyote the atoby for a magazine, became so excited that she, according to all reports, refused to recognize it as her “brain child.!’ So the picture was put on the market without an “official” mother, as It were. The producers decided to let the public be the judge aud according to reports “Stardust” did big j business in Chicago at the important i Chicago theater. In the words of the | tradespeople It is "cleaning up.” The perj sonal appearance of Miss Hampton, I take it, largely was responsible for the big Chicago business. I The audience yesterday afternoon at I the Circle, when 1 viewed the picture, i seemed to support Miss Hampton and : the general verdict seemed to be a faj vorable one. During the first four days of the week’s engagement of the picture, Miss Hope Hampton, the star in the picture, is making three personal appearances at ; the Circle. She tells a few stories, states she enjoyed making the picture and i sings a song or two. The picture possesses enough homely virtues and even “villlans” —both male and female- mother love, tears and the like to put this picture over. The cast of “Stardust” Is as follows: Lily Becker Edna Ross (when a girl) Lily Becker . Hope Hampton (when grown up) Albert Penny Ashley Buck (when a boy) Noel Tearle (when grown up) nenrv Becker Thomas Maguire Mrs. Becker Mrs. Mary I oy Jethro Penny Cbaries .Jusset Mrs. \ivla Ogden Antonio Marvelll .George Humbert Daisy i 'aiueron Gladys W ilson Bruce Visigoth Charles Wcllslej Thomas (lemons lames Hennle “Stardust” remains on view all week at the Circle and Miss Hampton closes her special appearances with the Wednesday night shows. —W.

Income Tax Don’ts for the Individual
By JOSEPH A. BLONDELL. Treasurer of the Baltimore Sun. Persons in compiling income tax returns for the year 1921 may find the fol- | lowing helpful, also the article in last j Sunday’s Sun. j Returns for the year 1921 are due In | the hands of the Internal Revenue De- : partment on or before March 15, 1922. j If you have not received a blank for the purpose, go to your bank, trust company !or to the Bureau of Internal Revenue and get one. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. Don’t deduct aa amount of depreciation on property used by you as your residence. Neither should this be flgurea (if you sold your residence) in arriving at the gain or loss for taxable purposes. Don’t deduct cost of repairs to property used by you as your residence. If you own residential property and rent It to another, then you may deduct all necessary expenses. Including depreciation, taxes, maintenance, etc. The income, however, from such property is to be re- ! ported. Don’t deduct a loss sustained In the sale of property occupied by you as your residence. A profit, however, must be reported for income tax purposes. Don’t deduct expenditures for additions or improvements to property, whether occupied by you or not, as such items are treated as capital expenditures. A taxpayer should, however, keep a record of such improvements for his own benefit. Especially will this be beneficial in arriving at the gain or loss in case the property is subsequently sold. Do not ! confuse improvements with repairs, j Don’t include as Income Interest on ! any 4 per cent or 414 P© r cent Liberty i bonds if the holdings are under $130,000. If you hold $30,000 of the October 24, ! 1918, issue of Liberty bonds, then you are allowed a maximum exemption of SIOO,- , 000 before any tax Is imposed. No nor- ! mal tax is Imposed, but only the surtax. : This does not include the Victory 4% per cent notes. Don’t apply any exemption to the Vic- [ tory 4% per cent notes. Tho interest on 1 Victory 414 per cent nolp s is exempt of ! the normal income tax, but is subject to the surtax, provided your income Is sufficient to put you in the surtax brackets. CONTRIBUTIONS OK GIFTS. Don’t deduct contributions or gifts in an amount in excess of 13 per cent ot your net income. Arrive at the 15 per cent maximum before deducting contributions aud the personal exemption. .Say your net Income before deducting contrl- | buttons aud the personal exemption is $4 000 and vonr contributions total S(V>O. As 15 per cent of $4,000 Is $i)00, then you may deduct S6OO and not $650. Don't overlook to deduct contributions or gifts made for the construction of a church. Don't overlook In claiming * dtduction for contributions to include the American Red Cross, Jewish Relief, Young Men's Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association, Associated Charities or other charitable organizations and the Society for tn Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals, or any religions, educational, scientific, literary or other charitable organization operated exclusively for purposes mentioned. Be sure no part of the warnings of such organization Insures to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual. Don't deduct contributions or gifts to needy families. The department does not recognize gifts to individuals. Don’t deduct gifts to needy relatives. ; If the relative is physically unable to work and is solely dependent upon you for support, then you may claim and exeruption of S4OO under the heading for dependents. Don't deduct the SIOO under the heading of contributions. Don't deduct contributions or gifts made for political campaign purposes. Don't deduct contributions made fov lobbying purposes for the promotion or defeat Os legislation. Don’t deduct contributions or gifts to a social club. Don’t deduct In yonr partnership return contributions made by the partnership. The Individual partners, however, may deduct In their individual returns their proportion of such contributions made by the partnership. Don’t deduct, if you are • corporation, contributions or gifts. The Treasury Department, however, states that a corporation may deduct as a business expense donations made directly to a hospital conducted directly or indirectly for the , benefit of Us employes or dependents. Don't deduct under the heading of contributions, gifts or bonuses awarded employes as additional compensation for services rendered, as a reward for past endeavors or to further promote enthu- I plasm in the discharge of their duties. | Such bonuses should be deducted under heading of Business Expenses “Salaries Paid.” The individual receiving such bonus Is to rbport it as income. OTHER ITEMS. Don’t deduct a loss sustained in the sale of an automobile which was used for pleasure purposes, nor an amount for depreciation. Don’t think because you are an employe of the Federal Government that your salary is exempt. State, city and county employes’ salaries are exempt, but the .exemption does not apply to Government employes. This includes the President of the United States, judges of the courts aud all other Government
employes. Don’t deduct wages paid domestic servants, such as maids, valets and chauffeurs of pleasure cars. Don't Include In your income or bother about supper money received during tho year, due to working overtime. Don't forget to deduct a loss sustained in any transaction which wag entered Into for profit. It makes no difference whether or not It was connected with the trade or business of the taxpayer. For example, say you purchased in 1920 a railroad bond for sßoo and In 1921 sold the bond for S7OO, then you may claim the loss of SIOO. Don't forget if you pay State income taxes to deduct such taxes from your gross Income. This does not mean United States Government income taxes. Don’t deduct ns an expense transportation cost to and from work. As an example, say you reside in the suburbs and your place of business Is in the city and you commute each day. The cost of such travel or commutation ticket is not deductible. Don't forget that amount received as a war pension from the United States are

exempt. The same applies to amounts received under War Risk Insurance and Vocational Rehabilitation acts. Don’t forget the §3,500 exemption formerly allowed persons in active military or naval service of the United States has been repealed In the 1921 Revenue act.
Washington Briefs
Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, March 13.—0n Capitol i Hill they are telling of a renowned Sena- | tor of the United States who this week rebuked colleagues on a certain im- | portant committee for attempting to relegate him to a back seat. He is the rank- | ing majority member of the commutes j in question, but, owing to preoccupations | in another field of Congressibnal activity I has not for nearly five months been able Ito attend meetings. In the interval the | next ranking member moved up a tplace ! nearer the chairman and at -his right, j It is the custom to have brass namej plates affixed at the places regularly j occupied by committeemen at their count cil table, so the Senator who edged up a notch had his shield moved accord ingly. All of a sudden the long missing member turned up. He went to his accustomed place. ' Another’s name gleamed where his used to be. There was language. The committee clerk was summarily called upon to produce a screwdriver and tho usurper's tablet was removed. * Robert MaeDowell, the young American who has just secured valuable commercial concessions in Turkey has had a romantic career. The son of missionary parents and born in Syria, be speaks all of the important languages of Asia Minor. During the World War he joined the British army's intelligence service, and volunteered as a spy. Disguised as a Nestorian Christian he specialized in watching the operations of the German high command in the Turkish theater of war and performed wondrous feats. His facility In the Turkish language and the impenetrability of hts disguise as a native Ottoman completely befooled the Boche military leaders with whom he contrived to strike dp a valuable acquaintence. Evidently recriminations bandied acres* the aisle In the Senate leave no particularly lasting stings behind. That was the conclusion generally drawn, when Senators Lodge and Reed, who have almost been caiiing each other names during the treaty debate, were observed standing together beneath the clock in animated and apparently amicable confab. There are many warm friendships in Congress between men of opposite political faiths. President Harding, while a Senator claimed many bosom companions among Democratic colleagues. One of the posthumous stories of the late Phi Hander C. Knox has cropped out in connection with the treaty fight. The Junior Senator from pennsiyvania who passed from the scene in October a day or two after his return from Europe. is said to have been bitterly disappointed that President Harding did not appoint him a member of the American delegation at the conference. Mr. Knox according to the same report left for England In a considerable state of pique soon after the personnel of the delegation was made public. Edwin Montagu, who has been forced out of the Secretaryship for India in the Lloyd George Cabinet, belongs to one of the ruling families of England, the House of Montagu-Samuel, though tt is an orthodox Jewish clan. A cousin of Mr. Montague, Sir Herbert Samuel, is British High Commissioner In Palestine, and oqe of the great financial geniuses of Britain. Mr. Montagu has held a number of high government offices under liberal premiers and in 1916 was Minister -of Munitions. Sir Herbert Samuel also a liberal, has been postmaster general, home secretary and president of the local government hoard. The firm of Samuel. Montagu and Company is one of th** rock-ribbed banking houses of London and ancient rival of the Rothschilds. It is a notable circumstance that the present British government should have entrusted statesmen of the Jewish faith to administer the Empire’s vital Mohamedan interests. Mr. Montagu. Secretary for India and the Earl of Reading, Viceroy of India and Sir Herbert Samuel at Jeruselem formed a triumvirate which virtually ruled the Empire's oriental affairs.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Lodger Company.

POWER INDUSTRY SURE TO EXPAND Large, Consolidated Plants Necessary to Meet Demands. Realization that local power plants operated independently could not hope satisfactorily to serve the communities I in which they were located, came about fifteen years ago. L. G. Rothchild, special representative of the Merchants Heat and Light Company, said recently in discussing the new Indiana Electric Corporation. In this connection, Mr. Rothchild quoted from an address by M. 11. Aylesworth of New Y(yk, delivered before the students of Ohio State University, In which the speaker said: “There was no escaping the fact small companies could not risk Investment for the supply of electricity users, nor could they at times command sufficient funds for the adequate extension of their systems. If the industry was to expand and come up to the expectations of its leaders, something had to be done. Consolidation was recognized by the clear-sighted to be an ultimata necessity. “In the very nature of things, this Tave rise to what Is known as the holding company, a corporation which owns the securities or properties of local operating central stations. The latter sometimes are contiguous and are Joined by transmission lines. Sometimes they are located largely in one State or are scattered through many States, but whatever their number or locations, one central management guides them all, provides the finances necessary for growth, standardizes practices and construction and consolidates purchases. The economics which result from such an arrar .ement are many. 'lt is evident, while a single generating station may take advantage of the diversity factor of the various industries located in the community, a larger station, serving many communities or a system of interconnected stations has the added advantage of the diversity factors of the industries and activities of many communities. “Under former, and to some extent still, existing, conditions of power generation, particularly In industrial and populous districts, there is a serious waste of resources and a heavy expense for labor and materials for power production that can be eliminated by centralization of power generation, by unifying tbe operation of the system and by discontinuing power production In inefficient plants. “A web of wires, entirely covering th* United States from the Atlantic to th* Dacific and from the Gulf of Canada, is the ideal looked forward to and being worked for by the electric light and power companies of the country. Ferbaps within ten years, and certainly within twenty, ail great Industrial centers of the country will be linked together and will be receiving their electricity for light and power and for direct industrial and commercial application from the fool of the waterfalls or the mouth of coal mines located scores, or even hundreds, of miles away. “Such a consummation will be brought about through the physical interconnection of existing properties and the power systems yet to be built in response to the ever-increasing demand for electricity for industrial, commercial and residential purposes.”
