Oaiu Washington. Jan. 12. ? Congress is beginning to hear from the country on the- subject of earned inconv s :-.s i . v.t: : st. :! with un> arm d incomes. Widows, orphans, invalids.

Tilt* viewpoint of the unearned in coa;o class 's expressed to some ex tent by letters like the following wlii.h came from a wo nun eighty i vortis old: "I am eighty years old. I can do several kinds of work quite well but 1 nobody will hire me ? and 1 don't blame them. I interited some money. j the income from which enables me to live in a modest way. I began to tUrn my own living at the age of, 15 and continued until I was past fifty. Since that time my income has been an uncertain amount, some times so small that I have been obliged to use my principal for current expenses which, of course, permanently reduced my income. Right now I am wondering if I shall have any income this month, the "Hiom?y due January first, not having materialized. "At dinner tonight I shall meet a vigorous young woman who earns h? r living as principal of a grammar scliool and whose incom is more than! mine ever was and who can retire on a pension (which is a sure thing) when she is fclxty. Just why should she be excused by twenty five per cent on the payment of her income tax? "The Government seems to give, so much attention to various classes of people ? farmers, merchants, children, labor unions, etc. Does it ever consider the welfare of the very aged? They are singularly help less and may he wholly useless and therefore iu>t worth considering." The complaints from others who are in the unearned income class range from the widows who have families to support out of the Income o? life insurance bequests to inva lid? and other dependents jtrho live on funds either accumulated by them when they w?re able to etirn their own living or invested for them 1 by others. The sltu.itlon can be cured in large part by the adoption of in amend ment which would place all persons of the unearned income group who receive amounts' up to five or seven thousand dollars a year in tlie name ? category as the earned income group, namely miking the twenty-five per cent reduction apply to both. This, of course, might have to lie limited only to those whose income tax re turns show that this income is their only means of support because other wise it might operate as a twenty five per cent reduction on the first five or seven thousand dollars re ceived from investments by those who are well able to pay a higher tax because they have some other source ?of income. Some talk is being heard about limiting the twenty-five per crtnt re duction on turned Incomes only lip. to anil Including twenty-five thousand dollar incomes. Such a proposal is not, of course, predicted on the idea that It is Just fo- the one class of earned . Income to yhe ditilimmi&hutL from irnother hut simply on the theory that persons above twenty five thousand dollars even though they use physical or mental energy instead of motley capital can afford to v iv t lie higher tax. The objec ' tiona to tills will be numerous no doubt as it will be called n tux on b>aii\s and a destroyer of incentive. Tli" treasury has given no indica tion as yet that it will approve iny of the amendments suggested either for the earned or the unearned .in come groups but some modification wi'l ?urely be made In either the Senate or House. i Some Specials i Bt'nl 'I'll 1 1 linttcr ."?

Few Elizabeth City folks know thai the good ship Annie L. Vans civer bailed llie bounding main 011 at least one occasion. This interesting tact came to light during a conversa tion between a reporter for The Ad vance and Captain Riley M. Simmons. of this well-known an<l popular '?flag ship" of the North Kiver Line, Inc. That is a new thing, so far as Eliz abeth City people are concerned? I111.L -is "a matter of (net. the "Annie Vansciver" is by no means a strange vessel to Captain Simmons. He comes to the North River Line, Inc., highly recommended by the "Nor folk Lighterage Company." where he served under Captain John Ti Crank, vice-president and manager, and well known as a former "Curritucker." Captain Simmons also Is highly rec ommended by the Chesapeake Ferry Company, having served 10 years with that company when he was mas ter of the steamer "Ocean view" go ing from Willoughby Spit to Old Point. It was while with the Chesapeake Ferry Company that Captain Sim mons went the outside route on the AnniQ L. Vansciver from Norfolk to Philadelphia. The "Annie L." he longed to the Che^jpeko Ferry Company at that time. lie says a southwestern was "running down behind her" and although a success ful trip was made, he wouldn't care to make a steady practice of using thi-i good boat for oceun-going as she was never built for It. She was sent to Philadelphia for some repairs on that Occasion and of course car ried an "outside pilot." but Captain Simmons had been master <tT the 1 boat before Ills present connection. ' That was when she was on the Wil ' loughhy Spit ami Old Point run. : It is a coincidence, but Captain Sim mons delivered the Annie L. Van sciver to her present owners at the I time she was purchased back in 1912. I Captain Simmons was born at | Churches Island. Currituck County, in lXNa. That makes him only US years of age. but in spite of his coin pat it ive youth he has been steam boating "all his life." having started as a boy of 14. He is an experienced passenger man. At the time he was on the Vansciver she was equipped to carry about 65.0 passengers. Captain Simmons has a wife and two daughters and they make their home in Norfolk. Captain Simmons has an able as sistant 1 s Ills mate. Garfield F. John son. a native of Pasquotank, who has been with the North River Line Inc., for several years. The Vansciver Is a popular boat, her length ia 127 feet; beam 27 feet, and her gross tonnage is 194 C. H. Hrock, the popular Treas urer, Superintendent and Purchas ing Agent of the North River Line, Inc.. says he considers his friends the greatest of his assets and wants them to meet Captain Simmons.
