DAVIS REGOMMENDS PERMANENT PAVING POLICY CONTINUED Mayor Handler's annual message, annual report of the civil engineer, passage of the salary ordinance and allowance of $8,000 toward the construction of a comfort station under the Municipal Light. Heat and Power company on outh Eighth street, featured the city council session Tuesday night, which was the postponed meeting from last Monday, inasmuch as council had agreed to adjourn on Xew Year's day. "Hearty co-operation from the general public and various departments in the administration has made possible the accomplishments of the past year," stated Mayor Handley. "It has been the prime effort of this administration to be as courteous as possible, but to enforce the law to the limit. We will continue to enforce the law as rigidly as possible during1923. "I wish to commend the departments for the remarkably fine work which they have done in helping the administration to be a success. The mayor made special mention of the work in improvements of various streets and various other events which occurred during 1922. Engineer's Report Dell B. Davis, city civil engineer, presented his annual report. A sum of $6,500 was allowed the engineering department during the year and of this amount $6,195.38 was expended, leaving the sum of $4.33 in balance.. The report follows: To the Mayor, Board of Works and Councilmen: "I herewith submit the annual report of the department of ensinereinsr for the year 1922. "Considerable progress has been! made the past year in consumating the improvements which have been outlined in a definite plan which embraces the entire city. Three important thoroughfares have been paved: South Fifth street. North Third street and South Seventh street. Also two important trunk sewers constructed: The Randolph street sewer with its extensions and the Southwest trunk sewer extension. Other smaller improvements coistructed include more miles of concrete alleys and cement sidewalks and sewers than any singffe year since 1915. Money Is Saved "Following a policy of having contracts ready for letting early in the spring has saved taxpayers considerable money as the prices paid for paving were lower than, in any other known city during the past year. "Probably the outstanding accomplishment of the year is the co-operation the engineering department contributed in having the city plan commission established. No other accomplishment of the year -will have as far reaching an effect upon the whole city in the way of good results as from the lesislative authority conferred upon that commission for the use of the i city. . I "I would strongly urge the city to continue the policy of permanent paving and the construction of relief sewers. A sewer in North K street, east of Sixteenth street, should be built in 1923. One should also be built in South B street, from Seventh to Fifteenth streets. This would relieve the lerritory between South B and South K streets from Seventh to Fifteenth streets. This sewer should be built in 1924. Recommends Paving "South Fifth street, from South E to South H streets and West Fifth street, from the National road to Richmond avenue, should be paved this year. "The National road, from First to . Fifth and North E street from Sixteenth to Twentieth, and North Twentieth street from Main to North E stret, should be paved in 1924. "The city should lend its influence to have a law enacted compelling persons laying out' new additions to the city to" donate a percentage of the ground for playgrounds. Also the city should create a permanent fund-from which ground could be acquired for creating open spaces in various parts of the city. "The department of engineering Is indebted to all other public officials for their kind co-operation during the past year. Yours very truly, "D. B. DAVIS, "Citv Civil Engineer."

SUNDAY CLUB TO HEAR SHORT TALKS TONIGHT Five minute talks by each of the eight captains of the flying squadrons, which compose the evangelistic department of the Billy Sunday club, will feature the meeting of that body is to be held in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The speakers will be Dr. Charles S. Bond, Dr. G. C. Wilcoxen, Waldo Lacey, W. C. Higgenbottom, Ora Stegall, Henry W. Kimm, Sylvester Jones and J. Will Ferguson. Decision of the Sunday club, through its executive committee, to co-operate with the Y. M. C. A. in the series of Sunday afternoon mass meetings for men, was announced by the president, W. H. Romey, Tuesday night. The first meeting of this series which comes on the afternoon of Sunday, Jan. 7, will be held in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. A. G. Knebel, of Chicago, international Y. M. C. A. worker, will deliver a New Year's address which will be of interest to men. Because of its attitude toward movements which are fpr the benefit of the community, the officials of the club are desirous that each of the organization's 500 members avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing these men of note who have been obtained to address the Sunday afternoon meetings. Prsident Romey, of the Sunday club, has asked that all members of the club attend the meeting which will be held Wednesday night because of the importance of some announcements which are to be made and the nature of the program. Lee B. Nusbaum will be in charge of a program of special music. utmost unity and co-operation for their rightful solution? "What kind of Americanism is it, anyway, that estimates a man by his race and religion instead of by his character and his attainments? Political Organization. "The Ku Klux Klan is a political organization. It is seeking governmental power and control. In some states it has secretly endorsed certain candidates for office, and supported them at the polls. At the last general election in Indiana it defeated by decisive plurality two worthy candidates upon the state Republican ticket solely because they were Catholics. The other candidates on the ticket -were elected. It was to some extent, a determining factor in the recent elec tion for county officers in Wayne county. "That men have the right to form secret societies and fraternities, when their membership is known, and the organizations are non-political, and do not menace society or seek to invade the rights of others, is undeniable. But when, in a Republic, individuals unite for political purposes, and seek election to office, and the direction o. public affairs, either directly or in directly, they have no moral right to conceal their identity or to attempt to hide their real objects, and the methods they intend to employ to attain these objects. Principles, if they have any, should be boldly enunciated, platforms should be openly adopted. candidates should be publicly nomi nated, and membership should be made known. In no other way can the people acquire a clear understanding of the issues, how to vote intel ligently, or determine accurately what is best for public welfare. Claims is Pretense. "The klan declared itself an 'invis ible empire.' How can it be an invis ible empire in a free republic? How can the two systems exist together? Is not one the exact antithesis of the other? "The claim of the Ku Klux Klan that it is behind the law, upholding and acting through it, is a pretense and a sham. The fact i3 that it aims at super-government, and, if it ever gets the power, intends to ride roughshod over that class of American citizens whose race and religion it looks upon with disfavor. So far the members in this state have confined themselves to writing anonymous and threatening! letters, but elsewhere in the Union they have been guilty of actual lawlessess ad violence. Forcibly taking men out at night and flogging them for alleged offenses. i3 one wrong that they have committed. "What is this but mob-law? What is this but defying the provisions of the state and federal constitutions which guarantee public trials, impartial jurors, the confronting of adverse witnesses, and the right of defense in person and by counsel, to every American citizen accused of crime? The criminals to be tried and punished in the light of day before the tribunals and in the manner provided by the constitution and law of the land, or are irresponsible and lawless men to torture and murder alleged wrong doers at dead of night, an their confederates to shield and protect the murderers by contributing funds for their defense, stifling investigation,, terrorizing witnesses and committing wholesale perjury? "We are told that there are ministers of the gospel who belong to the klan. If so, why do they not reveal themselves, and stand forth while they tell us what there is in the teachings of Christ or in Holy Writ that justifies their membership in such an organization? "We are also Informed that some of the judges of our courts are Ku KluK. If this be true, why is the identity of these judicial officers withheld from us? Has not every litigant who belongs to the race or believes in the religion against which the Klansman is prejudiced, the right to know the sentiments of the judge who is to try For colds, coughs, branchial and cheat affection, Brazilian Balm reco. nfzee no equal.

How many of our prosecuting attor neys, elected to office to prosecute violators of the law, are training with this organization? Will they do their duty when asked to prosecute their brother Klansmen for outrages com mitted by these upon innocent citizens? "Do the sheriffs of our counties, whose duty it often is to call jurymen into the box to try cases, belong to this secret order? If so, can they be trusted to lay aside their prejudices and to discharge this duty honestly where the Catholic, Jew or foreignborn citizen is one of the parties to an action in court? "And how as to the members of our police forces? If any of them are Klansmen, let us know which one of them, so that we can form some adequate conception as to just how far and under what circumstances we can depend upon such officers for our pro tection.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

INCOME TAX RULES ARE GIVEN TO PUBLIC The local Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue submits the following Information which will be of value to those who file income tax returns: Those who will be required to make income tax returns are as follows: Every single Individual having an income of $1,000 or more or if married and not living with husband or wife. Every married individual having an income of $2,000 or more. Every individual having a gross income of $5,000 or more regardless of his net income. A single person 13 entitled to an exemption of $1,000. A married person if living with hus band or wife is entitled to an exemption of $2,500, and $400 for each child under 18 years of age. It must be remembered that in order to obtain the benefit of the exemption allowed it is necessary to make an income tax return. Those failing to comply with the above requirements forfeit the right of exemption and are liable to the heavy penalties that apply for failure to do so. For example, if a married man has an income of $2,000 or more, and less than $2,500, he is liable for a return even though it will be a non-taxable return, failure to file a return in this case would be considered a delinquent return and penalty would apply. Blanks are now available and can be obtained at any bank in the city. or at the local revenue office located in the Odd Fellows Building, corner Eighth and Main streets. It is expected by the department that each individual make up his own income tax leturn and then go before a notary public or deputy collector and sign them in their presence. . Returns should be sent direct to the office of the Cojlector of Internal Revenue, Indianapolis. All checks, money orders or drafts should be made pay able to the Collector of Internal Revenue. It is not necessary that income tax returns pass through the hands of the local deputy collector as it is impossible for deputy collectors to handle all income tax returns, as there are only five deputies in the adjoining eight counties or about 60 deputies in the entire state. Returns are now due, the time limit is from Jan. 1 to March 15. Returns must be in the hands of the department on or before March 15, or they will be held as delinquent returns and the penalty will apply. Forms 1099 and 1096 are now available. Employers should make up these forms early that their employes may have an opportunity to make early returns and not be compelled to wait until the last days of the income tax period to file their returns. It is hoped that those who are required to make income tax returns will make their returns early in the period as there is nothing gained by delay and much may be lost. Suburban NEW MADISON, Ohio C.
