MANY CITIZENS TO CONTRIBUTE TO INCOME TAX Estimate Is That 425,000 Persons Will Be Affected Under Provisions of New Measure. EXPECTED TO RAISE SUM OF $82,298,000 All Who Get $3000 or Over Must Report Their Incomes—Now Is the Time to Begin Accurate Accounts, as New Law Will Cover Receipts From March 1, 1913—Failure to Report will Be Punishable by a Fine—Methods of Collections Provided. INCOME TAX SCHEDULE. $3,000 to $20,000 ... 1 per cent $20,000 to $50,000 ... 2 per cent $50,000 to $75,000 ... 3 per cent $75,000 to $100,000 ... 4 per cent $100,000 to $250,000 ... 5 per cent $250,000 to $500,000 ... 6 per cent More than $500,000 ... 7 per cent Washington. According to cell mates completed by the treasury experts 425,000 American citizens must keep such accurate account of their incomes this year that they will be able to report to the income tax col lector next spring exactly how much they owe the government under the new income tax law So far as the taxable American is concerned, the income tax law is now practically in force against him. While the tariff law in which the law is embodied will not be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made to the internal revenue collectors before March 1, 1914. But when the returns are made they will cover the income of citizens from March 1, 1913 to December 31, and the first payment of tax will be for money received during this period. Every single person (citizen or foreign resident) whose annual income exceeds $3,000, and every married person with an income above $4,000, is expected to report his or her receipts in detail to the government agents March 1 of each year To Produce $82,000,000. The estimate completed indicates that the income tax will produce $22,298,000 from the 125,000 persons taxed. To this will be added the $15,000,000 or more produced by the present corporation tax, which is continued as part of the law. President Wilson the federal judges of the Supreme court now holding of face and employees of a state or any political subdivision thereof, are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The president and judges now in office were made exempt to escape any questions of the constitutionality of the law and their successors in office will be compelled to pay the tax. First Burden is on Citizen. The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen and its failure to report his income is punishable by a fine. It is admitted that when first returns are made many taxable persons probably will not pay payments, but with each year the government's lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete. Methods of Collecting Tax Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law. One is that the individual return made by the citizen the other the returns by corporations and other employers who pay their employees' taxes at the source. Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess of the $2,000 hours and will pay the taxes for its employees and deduct the tax from their pay envelope. This payment at the source will apply to salaries, rent, interests, royalties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and persons receiving such income must be prepaired to show that the money has paid his tax at its source. In fixuring up his net income for the taxpayer, the American business man after deducting $1,000 for him self, at $1,000 married will have the right to claim the following additional exceptions: Necessary expense of carrying on business not including personal, living or family expenses Interest paid out of indebtedness Patent for a Porter's Invention. At the commencement of which lead had also been sent to parish in the city of W. Dixon a New York porter a new invention of W. Dixon a New York porter a new invention of W. Dixon a New York porter Mr Dixon received word of entry from the patent office at Washington but he had been granted a patent on an invention. He has made no arrangements for the sale of its manufacture. National, state, county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses, or storm or fire losses, not covered by insurance. Worthless debts charged off during the year A reasonable allowance for the depreciation of property. Dividends from companies whose incomes have already been taxed Interest from state, municipal or government bonds Must be Entire "Net Income." Must be Entire "Net Income." It is a clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his entire "net income," and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax, as finally agreed upon follows: From $100,000 to $200,000, 1 per cent; from $20,000 to $50,000, 2 per cent; from $50,000 to $75,000, 3 per cent; from $75,000 to $100,000, 4 per cent; $100,000 to $250,000, 5 per cent., $250,000 to $500,000, 6 per cent., above $500,000, 7 per cent. A single man with an income of $25,000, for example would pay 1 per cent on $17,000 and 2 per cent on $500 a total tax of $250 if married, the first tax of 1 per cent would apply to only $16,000 of the income Ready to Answer Questions. The treasury department is preparing for a flood of questions about the new income tax, realizing that this feature of the taxiff bill about to become law strikes more intimately at the tax paying citizen than do the indirect taxes collected through the customs duties. One of the first steps taken to get general information before the public will be to distribute income tax blanks through postoffices, internal revenue officers, and other federal agencies. However, the fact that he does not receive a blank or a request to pay the tax will not exempt a taxable person from the penalties of the law. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who drew the income tax provision of the tariff bill which will soon become law, made public a detailed explanation of the tax plan as it will touch the individual citizen. "The treasury regulations soon to be prepared will make clear to every taxpayer the requirements of the law and its application to income derived from the various kinds of business. Mr Hull said "Any person who keeps familiar with his business affairs during the year should have no difficulty in executing his tax return How Tax Is Divided. The income tax is divided into two phases, the normal tax of one per cent on the whole income above $3,000, and the additional tax that begins with an extra one per cent above $20,000 and is graduated to six per cent above $500,000. Whatever the income tax is paid at the source by a corporation for its employees or in similar cases only the one per cent normal tax is so paid. *The individual has to pay any a ditional tax himself. The provisions of the law requiring the tax to be withheld at the source does not take effect until November 1, 1911. "For the first year the citizen will make return to the local internal revenue collector before March 1, 1914 as to his earnings from March 1, 1913 to the end of this year. The collector will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid by June." After text year the tax will apply on the full calendar year.

Stick to your job, and after a while some one else will want you and give you more money. Stop spending every dime you can get. Try to save a little—put a dollar in the bank and pretty soon you will want two and on and on until you will soon have a bank account. It's easy. Try it.

Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations but none gave me the good results until I used Mme.

Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out, has no dandruff, it soft and pretty. Three of the girls are attending Wendell Phillips school Howard and Vine streets.

The increasing demand in Kansas for trained teachers is one of the many evidences of this state's progressive ideas along educational lines. The Appointment Bureau of the Kansas State Normal school has placed for the year 1913-14 one hundred twenty-five teachers, who have completed courses in the institution. Of these twenty have received the degree Bachelor of Arts in education, eighty-six life diplomas, and nineteen three year state certificates. The average salary for the men from the degree course is $114200, women $702. Salaries for all others range from $50.00 to $100.00 a month. Hundreds of students who attended school last year, but who did not complete courses, will teach in the state this session. A BIG YEAR AT THE 47474 STATE NORMAL. The Kansas State Normal School closed the year 1912-13 with a total enrollment of 2767, the largest enrollment in the history of the school. All but seventy-five of these students were from Kansas. The Summer School which closed Aug. 1, had an enrollment of 1518. Most of those in the Summer School took work for credit, showing a desire to complete a course at some future time. The state has about fifteen thousand teachers. Few of these have not had special training for their work. Evidently the time is not far distant when there will no place in Kansas for the untrained teacher—a fact which every young teacher in Kansas should consider. Indications point to an unusually large enrollment for this session. The president, Thos. W. Butcher, Emporia, Kass., will send a catalogue to any address. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 10th day of Oct., 1913. (Scul.) HUGH MACFARLAND, Probate Judge. A case is now before the Supreme Court of the United States wherein that august body must declare the Jim Crow laws and grandfather clause enactments unconstitutional or declare the United States constitution not worth the time it took our forefathers to frame it. Especially is the Oklahoma grandfather clause attacked. This rotten piece of legislation allows ignorant white men to vote because their forefathers were eligible to vote prior to 1868. But a Negro whose forefather was ineligible to vote prior to that time is denied the right of suffrage. The constitution is easy to understand and that document says that no person shall be denied the right of suffrage on account of race or previous condition. We are of the opinion that the present make-up of the Supreme Court will decide that the constitution must be obeyed. 10. In a trial of one Iulu Jordan Hamilton in the Second division of the district court, the principal witness for the defendant was her sister, one May Belle Bridges, she who made an affidavit against Officers Barker and Rosander, but on her testimony her sister was convicted on seven counts and County Attorney Atkinson expressed an opinion that the woman was unbelievable in her statements and characterized Officers Barker, Rosander and Holman as men of high standing, honest and law enforcing. If Mayor Coffan was as honest as Mr Atkinson thinks these men are that affair it in his possession would count for raught and he would tell the public that he dismissed Officers Barker and Rosander because he had some of his pets picked for their places. These officers have been strict to duty and all honest people knew it. AN APPEAL.

Oct. 15. A remarkable incident occurred in Nashville last week at the meeting of the Southern Labor Congress. This organization is a confederation of the twelve Southern states. At the session it was decided by practically a unanimous vote to affiliate in the future with Negro labor organizations. When all the conditions existing in the South are considered, this is a most remarkable decision, indicating after all that there is a growing disposition on the part of the labor organizations of the South to recognize the Negro as a man and a brother. The colored long-shoremen of Mobile, Ala., a few days ago went out on a strike. Within a few days afterward the whites struck in sympathy with their colored brothers. MISSOURI PYTHIAN CATECHISM.

We celebrated the thirteenth anniversary of the pastor with his dear wife, Sister L. L. Jackson. Tuesday evening was a great occasion. The committee headed by Sister J. E. Fitzhugh had the lecture room beautifully decorated and the auditorium was magnificently strewn with flowers of many species and colors. The dress and decoration colors were white and yellow. A spicy program was rendered under Hon E. A. Shackleford, of Kansas City's best attorneys. He delivered an able welcome in response to the welcome so ably prepared and delivered by Sister E. J. Thompson. The committee had thirteen tables as it was the thirteenth anniversary. There were four guests at each table with plenty of polite waiters. Mr Charles Saughter provided the brass ice cream in abundance. Many varieties of ales were furnished with punch. Little two at the time passed from the auditorium to the lecture room to be visited. Many of the teachers, doctors and ministers were present The chant is conducted by a of meetings with lay leaders in chairs of the Dearon P. Holmes tune of the curved by a fat.

Rackoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and, that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: "The average 160 acre farm is regarded as having $1000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has over $1,200 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. The hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1000 to $1500 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fireside, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross pieces, top and bottom. 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. O Pasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, padded FLOOR BARREL. This door is made or one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed or stapled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with odin rooting or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crumbs or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrows and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting. Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm What the Lawyers Tell Us.

In Baltimore, Maryland the other day an ordinance was passed for the purpose of removing the Negro people from certain districts in which white people lived. This was looked upon as an amiable act, and praises went up all over the country for such a sane and worthy accomplishment. In Kansas City, Mo, a few days later, the police commissioners ordered the removal of all the women guilty of immoral practices out of certain districts to a district laid out for them. When this was done a howl went up from the good citizens of Kansas City and repeated by good citizens in other parts of the country. With these facts before him, backed up with a knowledge of the drift of sentiment that is fast gaining ground in this country, one becomes curious to know what this thing segregation is. To one who believes in fair play, it looks like a hybrid monstrosity, a something made up of both good and bad in its nature. It depends altogether upon the circumstances under which it is used. When used upon Negro people—and the Italian or Mexican as for that matter—although many of them are thrifty, honest, cultured, self-respecting, virtuous, it is a good thing. But in the other case it is a bad thing because it is used upon a class of people who are not self-respecting, thrifty, honest, moral virtuous, but who follow the ways of vice, sin and shame. And here bulges out the lump of inconsistency, a glaring and revolting inconsistency. To separate the good on grounds of ered, color, race or nationality improves, renovates, purifies, while the separation of the bad from the good bodies all to society only in case that bad belongs to a certain race and is of a certain color. To outline a just theory upon which their reasoning is based would at least achieve many of much worry and condemnation of conscience. Every such attempt lands us on the slimy base line of prejudice, selfishness, envy and hatred. Here we stop. And then it dawr, upon us that the fault is not so much in segregation. Mayors, police commissioners and officers of the law segregate women who follow vice in order to license the business that they may filch from the unfortunate blood money to fill their coffers. This is self interest, selfishness if you please. How can it be said that this is worse than segregation on the grounds of race, color or nationality when the moving cause for so doing comes out of the same pit and slume, though bearing the name of prejudice, hatred or envy! We cannot see that the ministers and church people of Baltimore are any better than the police commission and the much abused political grafters of Kansas City. How can they be? They are frequenters of the same pit slimy prejudice and mucky hate, and are as heavy dealers in its contents. About the 28th of September, a report went out from Washington, D.C., stating that a bitter fight was soon to be waged against alleged race discrimination in all parts of the country. The grandfathers' constitutional amendments of Maryland and Oklahoma were mentioned, also Jim Crow legislation in the latter state, and the movement by the Negro people of Tennessee to obtain permission to use the term Knights of Pythias for their fraternal organization. The attack has already been made on the Oklahoma constitution, and, interesting to say, if not strange, that it was made by the legal department of the government. While the fact, on first thought, may not take our breath, yet we are forced to confess a very high degree of astonishment at an attack coming from that source. It seems to us that this should have been done long ago by this department, and our astonishment should be that it has defended this matter so long. According to the theory of our government, a full fledged citizen is invested with all the rights necessary to make him the equal of any other holding rights under it. In other words, citizens are equals because they have equal rights. And we understand that it not only must be invested with the class of rights which it is to be under the government, but it must be invested with that class of rights which about him to take part in it. This latter class is just as much an element of citizenship as the other, and citizenship is not complete without it. To call one a citizen is one of the classes in living, seems an effort to mislead, Italy it be, and that a republican form of government cannot be accurately denied; that our forefathers carried out of the mass of principles of human government a new and undamable something in the form of government, having a steadily growing principle of a present state. A denial of this constitution to the people, or the privilege to the who shall represent them, or to delimitate, the rights of the represent them is a libel on their pretended doctrine of equality and consent, and just the point where injustice and tyranny creep in. Still comes the boast that this was the cause of the big fight in 1776. In fact we are told that a denial of representation is something to fight about, because it is an abridgment of liberty. Why not let this standard be the measure of liberty and freedom for the Negro people of this country? Why the sen-cler twaddle of conventionalism when it comes to accords that people the rights of citizenship, which results in the absolute elimination from that citizen ship the very element that rearms out and completes it? We take in that the government is it ordinary the danger in failing to guard the element even in the weakest of Negro people in the slightest degree. It is more and more evident that clothing the Negro people with half a citizenship and decaying them brought to vote and have a say in political affairs under circumstances that turn upon race, color and previous condition of servitude, weaker rather than strengthens. Whatever the reason for this move on the part of the Lover it should be hailed with welcome. EMPOREA, KANSAS.

With an or a picture of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a good form together may be made at home test with answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good seed ears is known as the "rag doll waterer," probably because it remains dust nothing more than a rag dod when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pool of water. Its efficiency was proved in several annual test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which says that it will be good care as satisfactorily as the best or possible manure testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide with a roll from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times, loosen the alignment and use the rolling compass to measure the latitude in one rolling. Draw the outline of each cloth strip lengthwise for a line with a hoop panel. Draw a square about three times wide under the square. We use one of the strips thoroughly and stitch it out to the center of the strip to be tested. These six borders from one No. 1 and place in sap No. 1; take the next No. 2 and place in sap No. 2 and place in sap No. 2 and so on. When the 1 roll has been filled begin of pithion and roll the cloth up if the cloth a roll mounted the kernel will not pass out of pithion. When the cloth has been rolled the a string around it and rather loosely or, but still, use a rubber band Number this roll No. 1 Then proceed with No. 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to contain the corn which one has to test. From there to thirty one can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strips of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or tub of water, where they may remain from two to eight hours, depending upon the profession of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small places of wood should be held under the rolls and one edge of the pallet should be lifted from one half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read. Depending upon the arrangement of cars, below first either roll No 1 or the last roll No 1. This cloth will be unrolled in front of the cars represented. Examine all kernels carefully. In all cases in which all six kernels are not strong in germination the car should be known away.—Farm Press Truck For Spool Fence Wire. TRUCK FOR SPOOL FENCE WIRE.

The spool of wire can be easily handled by one hand with this device. Economical Hog Traugh. When rough number is $18 a thousand, about the price at present, a six foot long trough made of two inch plank costs about 50 cents for lumber. Lumber and nails add 25 cents to the cost. Huge destroy from one to three birth troughs in a year. Feed gets wasted, too, for a new trough is sold down made till the old one is poorer than it ought to be. Three troughs at the above estimate cost $2.25. An frost trough six feet long costs $2.25 and will last a lifetime.—American Agriculturist. Heavy Fertilization Is Best. In wheat fertilization experiments at the Indiana experiment station on clay and team soils the complete fertilizer gave the largest average increase and the greatest average profit per acre. The use of 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre on wheat proved more profitable than the use of 100 pounds per acre. Trees Are Worth Baving.

Farm and Garden FOR A GOOD WINDBREAK. Austrian or Black Pine Has Advantage Over Some Other Trees. The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the big pine, is commonly painted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental will and work purposes. Under favor are combinations it will attain a height of sixty or nearly feet, with a diameter of fifty two feet at the stump. It is pleasing in appearance, grows erect with a straight heavy trunk and rests on the whirls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from five to seven inches long, very dark green and retain their green hue the rest of the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very best of the plums for winery purposes. It is readily propagated. ```markdown ``` Photography from 14 state Agricultural THIRY YEAR OLD ALBERTIAN PINES ON KANANDA FARM. from seed, but the seedlings are tender and susceptible to several fungus diseases common in nurseries. The seedlings transplant with much difficulty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings and these should be from fifteen to twenty inches in height. The Australian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen intending coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the scaffling stage. It is impracticable for any except additional nurserymen to attempt to grow it—Kunong Farmer According to Former Secretary William every day in the crop growing system is worth $2000000 to the farmers of the United States. This wealth, however, represents the work of nature as well as of men. The big problem for the farmer is to so arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. For the Asparagus Bed. The land for an asparagus bed must be well drained warm, rich soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep spacing may do, but care must be taken to get the mixture well mixed with the soil if host results are desired. For larger beds the mixture should be turned under with a plow. Deep plowing is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second early in the spring. Good, strong one-year-old roots are the best. A long bed single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space - American Agribulture lot. Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of dathecy or wind collis the life of the horse may be beaten by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The trooper and cannula used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of hair which runs the opposite way of that on the rib. In a cow tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the instrument, but it must be sterilized before use, and the wound should be dia-infected after removal of the trooper. Farm Journal It's a Useful Servant. Where a farmer owns a wood lot and burns wood he can make an excellent investment by purchasing a game line engine and wood sawing machine.
