That in Thine ocean depths iti flow May richer, fuller be.” WHAT THE FIRE LOSS AMOUNTS TO. The Charlotte News thinks ‘it is amazing how wasteful the Ameriean peo ple are,” and "how conscienceless they seem to be about it.". There are many evidences of this waste as the Charlotte contemporary declares, one startling ex ample being the enormous loss that is annually sustained in this country from fires, "a loss that could be largely pre vented.” Figures recently made public and which 1 form the basis of The News’ editorial show that in 1922. the latest annual per- , iod for which complete statistics avail. : the sum of destruction by burning in the United States soared to $.">35,372,782. This was the greatest total any country had ever known in the history of man. This total was an advance of $28,831,781 or 5.89 per cent, over 1922 and was far in excess of the total for the year of the San Francisco earthquake and fire. Os the known causes of the fires, matches, smoking, with an ascribed loss of $29,045,007 is first in importance. De fective chimneys and flues were second, eight million dollars, behind the first fac tor, and with a total of $20,828,182. Then follow in order, stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes, with $18,058,248: spontaneous combustion with $16.110.945; sparks on roofs with $15.931,342; and electricity with $14,001,789 loss. Many of these fires couW have been avoided. They are due more than any thing else to carelessness and the most striking thing in studying them is the cold-hearted manner in which they nre accepted by the publie. They represent a tremendous waste and to quote again from The News, “a conscienceless waste.” MR. I,VCY DECIDES THE MATTER. Hen R. Lacy has devoted more than 20 years of his life to the service of his State as Treasurer, and he intends to stay there for the rest of his life. The Legislature was contemplating the passage of a bill allowing the State Treasurer, who is more than 70 years of age, to retire on two-thirds pay if he wished. Some people opposed the bill because they do not approve of the pen sioning system, but Mr. Lacy solved the matter so far ns any question as to the Legislature’s wisdom : n passing the bill is concerned. He has declared he will not quit. Emphasizing the fact that he feels bet ter now than he has in five years Mr. Lacy says he is going to stay on the job. “No, sir, I’m not going to retire.” he told them in Raleigh. “Why. I'm in bet ter shape now than I have bee* tor five years and I expect to stick in that office there until I die.” And the chances are he will. He is not the quitting kind and if the bill is passed it will be done so as a compli ment to the man who has served his State so faithfully. ; —. , i ■ - THE LEGISLATURE IS DOWN TO “BRASS TACKS” NOW. j. -t > i An associated, from tore being down to taw* work for both and night se*«»ns nre being held and in,, addition committees are meeting in Legislatures: always work this way i, A'.'/ ' thing started before the soioas, that Ss sflftfyride Mils, and until these bills see present*d there really is nothing for them to do . hot W( and writ. When ithe Legislature first convenes the various committees have to be chos en and after being chosen the Committee members must be, given sufficient time to intelligently draw up the various bills 1 that come under their office. Therefore. all of the more important bills are pre- j seated during the last two weeks of the i session. It would be foolish to argue that no time is wasted by the legislators but at j the same time it is unjust to accuse them of loafing all of the time because they want to loaf. The' system by which Legislatures are conducted makes it im possible for all the bill* io be presented j during the first or second week. That is ithy so much has to be crowded into the last two or th’ree weeks. Congress remains in session for months at the time, yet the clock always has tq be turned back so- some, important meas ure can get through. The system sa more to blame tflan the men who Are c«ntroll- L— 24- 5 . t’vVv* ed by it. ’ V ’ '' ‘ YOUR INCOME TAX -.j No. 28 Under the “information at source” provisions of the revenue act of 1924. ' all persons “in whatever capacity act ! i«g” are required to report to rbe com missioner of internal revenue payments to others during the taxable years of SI,OOO or more. Information returns are.carefully checked with the individual return of the taxpayer to whom such payments are made. Thousands of de linquents.) and additional taxes aggre gatin»*hundreds of thousands of dollars have been discovered as the result of this audit. The act requires report of payments of “interest, rent, salaries, wages, pre miums. annuities, compensations! remun erations. emoluments, or other fixed or determinable gains, profits and income.” A separate return of information for each employee whose salary or wage for 1924 was SI,OOO or more is required of employers. Payment for overtime, fees, commissions, bonuses and the fair value of food and lodging furnished as part payment for services should be included. Heads of branch offices and subcontrac tors employing labor, who have the only complete records of payments therefor should file the’ returns directly with the commissioner. When both main and branch offices have adequate records, the returns should be filed by the main office. 1 The requirement is not limited to periodical payments, but a single pay ment of SI,OO or more must be reported. Real estate agents are required to re port payments to landlords. Fraternal organizations and associations are re quired to report payments to officers. Banks are required to report interest 1 paid or credited to a depositor, if the total during the year equalled or exceeded SI,OOO. Forms for filing information returns may be obtained at office* of collectors of internal revenue. The collectors. ' however, are not authorised t:> receive these returns, which should be addressed to the Commissioner of Internal Reveßue. Sorting Section, Washington, D. C.
