i Twentieth Century i LIMITED Some Fertilizer! Dear Twentieth Century: A man in Bemidji planted cabbage seed in the forenoon on Good Friday and had sauerkraut for supper the same day. Can you beat that for Beltrami coun- ty soil?—A. Contributor. . That’s going some, alright, but we have an idea that A. Contributor helped make the soil “what it was that day.”” That reminds us of the guy who planted potatoes in the fore- noon and had pumpkin pie for din- ner. —It Can Be Done— An Open Account A lady called on her grocer the other day and quietly handed him a $5 bill: saying: “Here’s $56 on ac-| count.” “On account? “On Account?” chant. “Well, on account. haven’t got any more.” —Ain't It a Fact?— Why Is a Women? “Why Change Your Wife?” is the caption of a motion picture film be- ing shown at a local theater, but what we want to know is: Has this anyth'ng to do with another sched- uled for showing here soon, “Foolish Wives”? One man of our acquain- tance says he has been trying to change his wife ever since he mar- ried her. —Foolish Husbands— As You Like It Norway has passed a law prohibit- ing the bestowal of ridiculous names on babies. From that we suppose we are to judge that some of the present Norwegian names are ridicu- lous. —How Can That Be?— What do you mean, queried the mer- On account I Minneapolis, April 17.—Two ban- dits shot Joseph B.

In millions of case the exemptions provided under the law would have wiped out the payment. But accord- ing to the law wiich is perfectly plain and has been repeatedly stated in newspapers and otherwise, every per- son with an income of $1,000 or more is required io make a return, whether he as to pay a tax or not. In other words from one third to a half of the wage carners in the United States appear to have been tax dodgers in ‘the year 1919—the latest year for which the figures are available. And there is no reason to believe that conditions were nay bet- ter in 1918, 1920 or 1921. Dodging Their Duty as Citizens Surely no more amazing fact re- garding the people cf this country was ever revealed! The theory of the government of the United States is founded on the voluntary co-opera- tion of every citizen. If it can be shown that half the wage earners deliberately evaded this obligation, Jthat they break an important law, Jand risk a fine or imprisonment in to place their orders early and thus) doing so, it is a fair inference that prevent the possibility of having toisomething is r‘;fry seriously wrong with the theo: both.

One wage earner in seven made a return in that year. And between one-third and one-fourth of all in- come of the United States was re- ported to the government. The 5,300,000 persons who filed in- come tax returns reported a total net income of $19,859,000,000. Yet it can be shown and.is_gener- ally admitted by economists, that the total income of individuals in the United States is well over $60,000,- 000,000 per annum. Mr. Rogers puts jthe figure at $66,000,000,000, bas- ling this on ‘the government’s own statistics. Ecomomists Examine Figures In other words at least $46,000- 000,000 was received by the peeple and never reported to the government in any form. That dishonesty could exist on such a colossal scale and fail to have been brought to the public’s attention soon- er may seem almost incredible. Yet the government’s figures and M. Rogers’s deductions from them, when submitted to a group of leading econ- omists of the country, were not chal- langed in any important particular laffecting the chief contention, Further details of this amazing in- come tax sitnation, and some possible remedies for it, will be revealed in subsequent articles in this series. RAW, DO NOL 'SPOSE \0 BE WORKINY' HERE' FER S PER Weew\? Are You Tired Of Your Hushand ? Does he seem less attentative than he used to be? Is some other man, who apparently is ahle to give you more time and at- 3 tention, arousing your interest? When your husband comes home at night tired out, do you think he is unreasonable because he wants to stay at home while you want to go out? Have you for- gotten that if he seems less attractive than he used to be, it is I~aause his struggles for you have made him older, quieter, more soricus? If any of these things are true, then see’ “FOOLISH WIVES” at the ELKO Theatre next SAT., SUN., MON., TUES. It is a motion picture—one of the most costy ever pro- duced—it it is more than a picture. It is a sermon. It instructs while it entertains. It will amuse an{ thrill you. Perhaps it will do you good. ' In it, the wife lets herself be persuaded that her husband dces not appreciate her. One of the wildiest, cleverest scoundrels in all Europe is bent upon her ruin. He almost succeeds. But in the end she realizes that, after all, it is her own husband she really loves and she comes to know that he loves her and is still the devoted lover of their honey-moon days. MAE TINEE, the foremost critic of America, says, in The Chicago Txibune of February 12th, “Universal comes across, and comes across BIG—FOOLISH WIVES,’ so long advertised as a wonder picturc, proves to be that thing.” i By All Means See It!
