The advocates of woman suf frage in North Carolina gained a big victory on last Thursday night when the Senate, by a vote of 35 to 12, passed the bill con ferring suffrage on women in municipal elections. Should the House nass the measure, women will have the right to vote in j town and city elections here- j after. The bill to divide the state into five judicial districts was defeat-! ciate member of the Democratic ed in the House by a vote of 42 national committee was provided to 37, so that our judges will con- j in a recent resolution of the c6m tinue to rotate, which has proved ! mittee. Miss Graham for sever to be the most satisfactory ar-! al years has been active in edu- rangement, in the opinion of the j majority of the legislators, and j Of the public ' j , ' , cv iudse was also killed. The biggest piece of. legislation ! proposed so far is the revaluation ! bill introduced by the chairmen I of the Senate and House commit- j i tees on finance. It proposes to Tn f rvn V a fov VaaVc rf "fVi a cf ofo i all property, real, personal and mixed, at is real value. On this basis the tax rate, state And county, is to be reduced, as the object plainly stated in the bill is not to raise an increased amount of rPTOTlilfl Vint f n loirir n Irwsr onr? n . i j operation between two such big : fair rate on all property valued! . ,. . v.. , ... 4. ,-x A,n u. T r in,o:nien of different political faiths assessment of real estate will be ! carried forward to 1919 and the new valuation will apply to 1920. The revaluation, which will be under the supervision of the state tax commission, will probably re quire 14 months. The Senate and House have both passed by more than the re quired three-fifths vote the. pro posal to amend the constitution allowing incomes from whatever source to be taxed, submitting this question to the people at the next election. While the legislative term of sixty days will expire next Sat urday, it is hardly probable that the legislature will adjourn be fore the first of next week. The Senate has passed a bill which, if approved by the House, will give North Carolina the tightest law against the indis criminate sale of pistols and oth er deadly weapons that has ever been placed on the statue books. Ti -!! er se line i - . " ! pihLOlb dnu Otner Weapons tO a ! person until he has first secured j a permit for such nurchase from the clerk of the county in which he wishes to make the purchase. He will have to pay half a dollar for the permit, which will not be issued until the clerk has satis fied himself that the weapon is being purchased for the protec tion of the home, and that the person desiring the weapon has a good character. The bill takes care of the mail order purchases by making the express compan ies and other public carriers mak ing the delivery subject to the laws applying to the dealers. Frederick H. Gillett, Repub lican, the next'speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, is a native of Massachusetts, where he was born sixty-eight years ago. He has represented his dis- trict in congress since 1893. Champ Clark, the retiring speak er, has presided oyer the House for the past eight years. President Wilson on Monday night signed .the "Victory loan" bill authorizing the treasury to issue $7, 000, 000, 000 in short-term j notes and providing $1,000,000,-: i 000 for the use of the war finance ! corporation in stimulating the; country's foreign commerce. i .The internal revenue collec tions in the eastern district of North Carolina for February, 1919, amounted to $1,675,238.63, according to figures recently given out by Collector J. W. Bailey. This was an increase of $414,396.28 over February, 1919, when the collections amounted to $1,261,042.85.

All France at War "If vou want to whnl nation i in arms, go to France," said a United I States soldier just back from the war front, and now in a hospital! "It's not just in the cities. It's in the little country towns. I've seen old women so feeble that they had to walk with a cane when they weren't working. I've seen an old French mother wheeling fertilizer up to the top of the hill. She had to do the work because her men folks were in the trenches. After ev ery trip up hill she came tottering down, and you might have thought she couldn't whesl another load. She did, though. I tell you, the spirt of those French people is the wonder of this war."

Northern and Western capitalists are again looking southward for locations and openings for new industries and for opportunies to invest in and to rehabil itate old industries that have lagged in the war times. Iowa men with ample means and ex perience have recently invaded ' Ala bama, and have purchased a big cement plant that was built at Demopolis, in that state, by English, interest just be fore the war. - l m bold M mm THIS TELLS HOW TO FIGURE ' INCOME tfX Squarely Up to Every Individual to Get Busy by March 15 or Suffer Penalty. ! "Don't wait until the final due date, j March 15, for paying your Income Tax and making your return. Avoid the i last minute rush; Any person can fig ure out his liahllity today as well as he can next week, and If there Is any point on which he needs advice he can now get in touch with a Revenue man." This word of advice is being given out by Interna i Revenue, men. Re turns and payments are" being col lected in No. Carolina by the following Collectors of Internal Revenue: tjoslah W. Bailey. Austin D. Watts. ' Every aid of their offices and field forces is being gives freely to the public. But the Income Tax men will not pull your door-bell or your coat-tails, according to the Collector's announce ment. It is squarely up to every indl- vjauai to ngure oui nis own case ami to get busy "if he comes within the scope of the new' Revenue law. ' Did You Earn This Much? r 'Every unmarried person who re- ; ceived income averaging $30.25 a week during 191S and every married couple j . who jointly received income averaging S38.50 a week should socur,e at once i from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A L That form contains the information he j will need To enable him to figure his j correct net income and any tax that be j owes the government. v The law requires that every unmar ried person'who had a net income of .$1,(100 or over end every married per son whose net income was $2,000 or over (including the income of husband or wife and the earnings " of minor children, if any) must make a return on or before March 15th. And this re quirement does not Iiinge on whether the person owes a tax. Taxable Income., An individual must include under gross income all gains, profits and In come derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of whatever kind and in whatever form j paid or from professions, vocations, j business, sales or dealings in property I of all binds. Interest, ront, dividends j i or nrofits derived from anv sonrce whatever. Very few items of income . are exempt. Deductions include ordinary and nec- t essary business expenses, Interest paid or accrued on Indebtedness, taxes of all kinds except Federal income and excess profits taxes and assessments for loc:l benefits, losses actually sus tained, debts ascertained to be worth less and depreciation on buildings, ma chinery, fixtures! etc., used in business." A further deduction is allowed for con-' tributions to corporations operated for ! religious, charitable, scientific or edu , cational purposes or for the prevention i of cruelty to children or animals to an i amount not exceeding 15 per cent of : I the taxpayer's net income as computed i t without th"! benefit of. the contribution , Oeduction.. . ij The taxpayer Is .not allowed to de- : duct any personal, living or faniilj ex- , pense, any amount spent for improving i property or any expense of restoring : ; property or making good its exhaus tion for which an allowance is claimed under depreciation. Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the dividends are deducted as credits from net income, together with the personal exemption. As in previous years, dlvi- vA? fii.pt i; f domestic corporations are ex- om normal tax when received by the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens r.nd residents are as follows: On the first $4,000 of net income in excess of the credits the rate Is 6 per cent; on jny further taxable income the rate is 12 per cent. The surtax . rates apply to net In-, come of each Individual In excess of $5,00O. The personal exemption and the dividends are not deductible before computing surtax. In the case of re ttrns by husband and wife, the net in (orae of each is considered separately in computing any surtax that may be due. Form 1040 should be used for mak'ng returns of net income exceed ii.g $5,000, and the instructions on that form will show how to figure the snr tax. Business House Returns. Employers and others who paid wages, salaries, rents, interest or sim ilar determinable gains in an amount of $1,000 or-over during 1918 to any person must file an infonnatioa return with the Government. Blanks may be secured from the Collector. Every partnership must file a reiurn showing its Income and deductions nd the name and address of each partner, with his share of the proftts or losses during the past year. Personal service corporations will file similar informa tion for 1918. INCOME TAX PAYS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS. "Viewed in Its largest and tru est sense, the payment of taxes Is payment for benefits received or expected. Only from a nar row and essentially selfish and shortsighted viewpoint can the individual propose to himself the evasion of tax liability as a desirable course of action." Daniel C.
