ROUND UP TAX EVADERS

The salaried man cr the- Industrial worker can hopo for little miccpps In evading his personal income tax. The government requires that his employer shall make a statement of the amounts paid during the year to each employe, and it Is easy for tax collectors to ascertain whether the individual has reported tvrrecily. The fact that certain persons are able to evade payment of their obligations to the government gives no excuse for others to do the same. The government floes owe an obligation to honest taxpayers, though, that it use very available means to bring the slackers to accent t. Reports on incomes for 1920 will be due on or before March 15, and it is the duty of the government to iDSlst that the fullest possible compliance with the laws be made. Many persons who earned large incomes in Industry In 1919 and the first half of 1920 And their earnings have greatly fallen off on account of the industrial depression. The government will lose much revenu on this account, and It becomes the more necessary that tax evaders be brought to an accounting. The complicated system of collecting taxes on sales and on excess profits, which gives opportunity for tax evasions, should give way to a more simple methtd a method so direct that evasion will be difficult, if not possible, and one which will give the Individual who pays on salary or other direct earnings better assurance of the square deal.

CHANGING VIEWS It does net require a long stretch of the memory to recall that "trusfbusting" was once one of the favorite pastimes of politicians who were trying to get into office, or to obtain official places fcr their friends. It was the open season for war on any enterprise that looked like a so-called trust. It was the late President Roosevelt who compromised with himself by saying that there were good and tad trusts the good ones were to be coddled and the bad ones were to be suppressed. Congress even passed some laws on the subject which are sometimes even yet used as bugaboos to frighten timid corporations. The point is not that there are trusts that need to be feared, but rather that the attitude of the public and the government as well has changed toward what were at one lime considered dangerous combinations In restraint of

trade organizations. In fact, which threatened to take away the liberties of the people. The government recently gave permission to the four big express companies to consolidate. A few years Vi$ such action wculd have been unthinkable, for would not competition be destroyed and a great monopoly be created if the companies reached an understanding regarding rates and methods of operation? The Interstate Commerce Commission is now said to have directed an economist of Harvard university to map out a series of mergers for the railroads. These mergers would ptrmit more economical operation within a given territory and make fcr greater efficiency. The "trust busters" have gone into the discard and business judgment is beginning to assert itself. WINNING THE PEACE Only by complete unity now- and in the year ahead can the allies win the peace as they won the war. There is no longer doubt that the Germany will resist payment ot the reparations demanded, and as a solid entity. And German fctrength, now as when the guns were roaring, lies in German unity of purp. se. And so the durability of allied unity meets the final teh't. It was not until the allies adopted unified firmy command that the fortunes of war turned in their favor. Only in the degree that they present a solid front to the Germans in making the settlements they will prevent the enemy from winning the peace. They have united in fixing the gross sum that must be paid n penalty for crimes and in making restituticn for the damages inflicted. Wll that unity survive through the years in which Germany is to pa ? In earning the huge sum to he paid the allies the Germans will be rebuilding, and to an extent their rebuilding wll be at the expense of their creditors. The entente countries will be winners of the peace if they stand together to seoure for each of them its fair share of t!u rewards of victory. Hut if they proceed as they have been doing, netting up barriers against one another through the prosecution of Feltlsh enterprises, they may wonder a score of yea re hence whether Germany really lost the war. THE VAST COUNTRY We used to think of the I'nited States, as a big country and it was. Hut is is rapidly becoming smaller. First it took months of travel to cross the contin

ent. Then the two oceans were linked by steel rails and the entire nation hailed it as a remarkable feat when the country was crossed in a week. But apparently we are to have another realignment in terms we employ in thinking of distance. A letter mailed In Los Angeles a few days ago was delivered in New York in 4S hours. While this is not an average occurrence, since at least twice that leneth of time Is required for a train to travel from Atlantic to Pacific, that it has been accomplished once demon"

strates that it is within the possibility of becoming common. The letter was carried n relays by train and aeroplane, the latter of course making its rapid journey possible. If a letter can travel across the continent In two days, why not a human being? It nfciy not be long until a Gothamite, seeking recreation, will spend weekends on the balmy shores of the Pacific in California, or until Californlans patronize "air excursions" to Atlantic City. Truly, this vast country is rapidly becoming less vast. The saying, "an old fcol is the worst of fools," does not mean that some of the younger ones are not doing very well in that line.

The world never seems to learn that a balloon will Ftand about so much inflation without bursting.

Company

The Electric Contractors & Lighting Co. have at last been able to arrange, through the courtesy and cooperation, of the Edison Lamp Works of General Electric Company one of the largest lamp manufacturers in the world, to hold in Hammond a High Intensity Industrial Lighting Exhibit and Demonstration. Most industrial men in this locality

have for some time been discussing pro and con the advantages of high intensity industrial illumination and in order to settle the matter and convince those -manufacturers, who are still uncertain as to advantages of high, intensity lighting, the Electric Contractors & Lighting Co. has secured the services of an expert" lecturer and illuminating engineer direct

from the lamp headquarters of -the Edison Lamp Works. It is said that the exhibit and demon stration are being put out entirely for educational purposes to show manufacturers the real advantages of plenty of light and to prove to them that productiqn is increased, spoilage decreased, accidents minimized, etc., through plenty of light.

The proposition is so broad and the advantages to be obtained so great that practically all local organizations, including the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce are back of the demonstration and have urged their members in the interest of better business, higher production, lower cost, and better working conditions to make it a point to attend at least one demonstration.
