i News from the Western Front
Does Not Perturb Secre
3 r tary of Navy
"J: . (Special to The Dispatch.)
Raleigh, N. C, March 5. Secretary
jpsepihus Daniels, of the United
.States Navy, spent a portion ot yes
terday in Raleigh and went on to
GoTdsboro to visit his mother. Mrs.
. Daniels, who has been here several
days "doing her utmost tor her old
jmammy and cheering the aged woman
; who has been many days nearjieath,
Joined Mr. Daniels at the hotel.
Secretary, Daniels brought cheerful
" mess to Raleigh from Washington. He
is of the large company that refused
to become dispirited at the news on
the Western battlefronts. Without
- pretending to give out any interview
or to speak with any of the lights
before him as sent in to government
sources, he gave as his opinion that
. the Western line will hold and that
" the sacrifices of the, attacking Ger
mans must be far greater than those
of the big allies holding -on. ,
The . Secretary wasn't even the
least fearful , that - the democratic
forces will not meet and sweep back
, all the powers that can be combined
against them. His was the general
.feeling in Raleigh. There is little of
; blueness. The people who 'have great
interests in the war are able to bear
.had news without panic " . '
' Saturday night when Captain Vlck
,'ers spoke he urged everybody to
withhold a verdict now. The English
; soldier who did his level best in the
trenches heartened moreRaleigh.pep
,;ple than anybody who had spoken
here. It was better speaking than al-
most all of it and as for the, message
there' has been nothing comparable to
it.
' Captain Vickers has spent the day
in Raleigh. No man who has visited
the city has seen, so much of the war
as he, the French commission alone
V excepted, and these being foreigners
; were not so easy to understand. And
- Captain Vickers has seen harder ser-
y'Y.. yice than . they. He was among the
first sacrifices ln the contemptible
' little army" that held the Hun while
1 ) the remainder of democracy's forces
r? " made ready to "carry on." -

More Than 6,000,000 People
Required to File income
Returns
(Special to The Dispatch.)
. Washington, D. C., March; 25.
When Kipling said "There's never
a, law pf God nor man runs north of
53," he wasn't figuring on an Income
tax levied by the Congress of the
United States, for the support of a
war against German autocracy. Pa
triotism, "as Shown by the ' returns
reaching the Treasury Department,
knows no geographical bounds. The
income tax, in its several forms, ap
plies to the 48 States, the District of
Columbia, the Territory of Alaska
and the Hawaiian 'Islands. Returns
are coming from as far North as the
Arctic coast of Alaska 69 negrees
north of the equator as far south as
the outermost islet of "the reefs of
Florida, as far west as the remotest
island-of the Hawaiian group, and as
far east as the rasthest coast of
Maine. Within this territory, which
comprises 3,624,000 square miles,
there were in 1916, according to "the
census for that-year. 102,298,000 per
sons. Of these it is estimated that
between 6,000,000 and 10,000,000 will
b reauired to file an income tax
return, the law applying to every un
married person -whose net income for
1917 was $1,000 or more, and to
every married-person whose' net in
come was $2,000 or more. The re
turns, millions of which already have
been received, must be in the hands
of the cOlledtorvof Internal revenue
in the district in which the taxpayer
lives or has his place of business, on
or before April 1. The penalty for
failure is a fine of not less than $20,,
nor more than $1,000 and an addi
tional assessment ol5Q per cent, of
the amount of tax due. x
Taxpayers will pay at least $2 out
of every $100 of net income for 1917,
the rate increasing with the income.
The exemptions under the war rev
enue act of October 3, 1917, are $1,000
for unmarried persons and $2,000 for
married persons. Under the act of
September 8, 1916, which remains in
force, the exemptions are $3,000 for
unmarried persons and $4,000 for mar
ried persons. An additional levy or
surtax ranging from 1 per cent, on
incomes between $5,000 and $7,500 to
50 per cent, oil incomes in excess of
$2,000,000 is imposed by the act of4to support Judge Calvert on v the
1917
The act of 1916 imposes a surtax
ranging from 1 per cent on incomes
between $20,000 and $40,000 to 13 per
cent, on incomes in excess of $2,000,-
000. The estimated revenue to -hp col
lected under both acts is $3,600,000,-
000, an average tax of $993 for -every
square mile of territory in the United
States- or $1.55 for every square acre
Payment of the tax must be inade
on or Derore June 15, 1918.
Thousands of taxpayers, however,
in response to the urgent request of
the lureau of Internal Revenue, are
paying their tax at the time of filing
their return, thus saving themselves
and the government additional time
and trouble. At the head of the In
ternal Revenue' Service is Commis
sioner Daniel C. Hoper. Aiding him
are 64 collectors of internal' revenue
in as many collection districts
throughout the country, and thou
sands of deputies, revenue officers
and agents, all of whom are working
night and day to complete the gigan
tic task. v. Volunteer assistance is be
ing rendered by the State and coun
ty Councils of National Defense, the
field force of the Department of Ag-J
riculture, and other government de
partments, banks, postoffices and
hundreds of business organizations.
As consistently pointed out by Com
missioner Roper, the . final success of
these various agencies depends upon
the taxpayer. Prompt filing of re
turns and prompt payment of taxes
are urged as a patriotic duty. The
word has gone forth that the man
who deliberately evades his juat
share of the war burden need expect
no leniency.
"Taxes axe ever irksome." says
Commissioner Roper, in a message to
the workers of the Internal Revenue
Service, "but I have had conclusive
and gratifyina: evidence "that thesA
liberty taxes for the support of the
war will be paid cheerfully and will
ingly by the great majority of our
people. With respect to them , your
task is one of guidance and helpful
information.
"In your work you will find also
the 'slacker the man who seeks to
evade the payment of the tax which
his representatives in Congress have
formally and with full autho fjj de
clared to be his just share of the war
burden. The attitude of such a man
is regrettable and pitiable. Not only
is he dishonest, he is disloyal. He
fully deserves to be a man without
a country. .He is. not entitled to the
sngniest consideration .and will re
ceive none.
"The government exnects vou tn
bring these slackers into camp to do
tneir service and suffer their nenal-
i.i i w - . ..
uea uy compulsion.
ine man who makes a false or
fraudulent return is subject to a fine
or not less than $2,000, or imprison
ment for one year or both in the dis
cretion of the court. For failure to
Pay the tex. on time 'the penalty, is
an assessment of 5 per cent, of th&
amount due plus 1 per cent interest
for each full month during which it
remains unpaid.

Raleigh's Joywagbris Were
Conspicuous by 'Their Joy-y
lessness Yesterday v
(Special 'to The Dispatch.)
Raleigh, March ,25. Joyriding
struck Its war wors Sunday when (the
thousand machines here or hereabouts
went odorless and motionless for the
most. part. r
Traffic between Durham and Ra
leigh, which regularly goes on by jit:
ney, was interrupted, and hundreds
of machines which do a regular busi
ness were forced to park on the
streets and stay. A promise to send
out the word that not a gallon of gas
oline was purchasable created sonie-
thing of a panic here bad advertis
ing. But with it all, no less than 100
automobile owners were authority
for the statement that not a pint of
the precious stuff could, be bought yes
terday. '"
The approach to famine has been
gradual but shipments a few days ago
presaged plenty in a few days. The
scarcity of cars with which to haul
the gas is credited with the trouble
chiefly. Never were the streets so
quiet in a town that Is active on Sun
days. Thoroughfares accustomed to
counting five, cars a minute often
saw none in an hour.
Chatham Democrats are quoted as
displeased with the turn ef the judi
cial contest in Wake and Franklin,
where all the signs point to a slaugh
ter of Judge Thomas H. uaivert, a
splendid lawyer, non-factionalist) and
able judge.
Judge Calvert was understood to
be backed strongly by the Bailey and
Pou influence . in county politics. The
long-expected Jones offensive against
the judge is overdue, but itis com
ing. The Jones divisions mean to
sweep over Wake soon in an effort to
take captive enough untrained Cal
vert soldiers to guarantee- the second
battle in which Wake will be pitted
against Person, of Franklin, a contest
between the two counties in truth..
Chatham cannot vote in the judi
cial election which is "restricted to
the two counties, but Chatham is the
fourth congressional district and
Judge Calvert is a Chatham man. The
county does not like the way Wake
is treating a son of Chatham. For
thaft matter, people not interested in
Judge Bailey tor Judge Jones don't
like the way Judge Culvert is to be
murdered by these immemorial divi
sions. The Bailey people had meant
ground that he is no local partisan,
but it seems certain now: that they
will throw him down to make certain
that the Jones people do not put up
a man of their own. Either a Bailey
or a Jones man will be the next judge
it seems now, or Wiley Person, the
irrepressibly.; funny man of Franklin,
will be crowned s ,
