*income tax pa . ures to have handy in case anybody starts ATTLE STAR a) | Puniisned Datiy | by The Star Star Those Obstinate Riffs PPARENTLY, our part of world isn’t deeply concerned pout the fate of the Riffs, but, really Riffs are worth much thoug Who are they? Why do they fight? They are African “subjects” of France and Spain, in their native land, so far as any people on earth may, correctly, be called native,« They have acquired the ol 1 that “all men were created al They haven't publicly declared that “When, in the course of human events,” ete., or that man’s inalienable rights are “Life, lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness,” but they are believing such things and dying for them the best they know how. Of course, they don't know how very much, not being civilized and evoluted up to machine guns, bombing planes, poison gas and such. Fortunately, Cornwallis wasn’t any more civilized than George Washing- ton, in our own little affair over life, lib- erty and happiness, that time, but that’s another story. However, the Riffs are sincere in dying for their own land, liberty, religion and forms of living. They’ve held out for years against civilized proselyting, brib- | ery and liquor, but civilized greed and modernized methods of putting down lib- erty and native happiness bid fair to be too much for them. Maybe we ought to be at lea> casually | interested. Should the Riffs win out, it will be a neat demonstration of the doc trine of “self-determination of people which is very precious. eq | Who Pays and Pays and Pays? NE out of every seven income tax payers in the United States is a woman, and one out of every $6 received thru the income tax is paid by a woman. This large proportion of women tax- payers is disclosed in an analysis of the yments of last year, just completed by the bureau of internal ri enue. Out of a total of 7,698,321 income tax returns filed thruout the nation last year | 1,046,322 were filed by women. The pro- portion of their payments, however, is larger than their numerical ratio because out of the total of $703,692,165 produced by the income tax $117,724,753 was paid by women. Most married women taxpayers include their income—if any—with their hus- bands’ and a joint return is filed, but the report showed that 170,573 wives filed a Separate return from their husbands’. They disclosed independent net income of $923,268,689, upon which they paid a tax of $49,209,921. There were 157,669 women themselves as heads of families. income totaled $478,642,82: bill was $10,860,493. Single women comprised the largest group of feminine taxpayers. There were 718,080 women who described themselves as neither heads of families nor wives, with independent incomes. They reported earnings of $1,783,451,105, upon which they paid $57,654, in taxes. What's the moral? Oh, nothing; just furnishing our women readers some fig- listing Their and their tax an argument. Why, of Course Not RITISH steel and iron manufacturer. are greatly worried over Ruasia’s giving the Harriman syndicate the Georg- jan manganese concession, fearing an American world monopoly of manganese. “The very idea! Ridiculou Just as if a gang of American capitalists would es- tablish a monopoly!

And then there wouldn’t be any United States at all. They could change history to prove that Columbus was a foreigner and had noth ing at all to do with the discovery of America, but that good old Andy Jack- son put over the first real discovery. They could have arithmetics to prove that twice two is seventeen, and that once one is several, might leave In physiology they could give man as many fingers and toes as they saw fit, and put horns on those who aren't 100 per cent Tennesseean, In civics they could teach the young idea that the Fifteenth Amendment isn’t enforced in the South because to enforce it would make the negro voters mad, In physics they could make water run up hill and prove the theory of perpetual motion by an illustration showing Bryan running for president, In geometry they could prove that the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is a darned lie and never happened, and that a straight line is the longest way around in Tennessee no matter what it does be- tween two points in less educated parts of the country. an Altogether, education in Tennessee cotild be jazzed up to beat the band if it is turned over to the sages, philosophers, savants and learned men generally who make up some legislative bodies. By all means turn the Tennessee legis- lature loose and let 'er go Gallagher. An Accommodating Judge UDGE W. J. GANNON, of San Lean- der, Cal, has made a hit, but will probably have to slide, if he ever reache second base. The California Federation of Women’s clubs made a grandstand play by issuing a circular demanding that all jurists curb reckless’ driving. Judge Gannon got a copy and also got Mrs. Lottie Hoover into his court for reckless driving. No fine about it, decided the judge, but just 60 days in jail. And the women’s section of the grandstand doesn’t seem to be cheer- ing as heartily as might be expected.
