Census enumerators also will call at every farm to secure the information necessary to fill out the questions con­tained on the agriculture schedule

Each farmer will be asked questions concerning the acreage and value of his farm; whether he owns, rents or partly owns and partly rents the land he farms; the value of the buildings, machinery and implements belonging to his farm; the quantity of all crops raised on his farm during the year 1919; and many othe rquestions which cover al lpossible farm operations

An absolute accurate and complete census vitally concerns the welfare of this community and of every person living in it. The official population for the next ten years will be determined by the census of 1920.

TO URGE REFORM

They insisted that Congress should set­tle the question for at least two years and give the taxpayer the benefit of the end of the war and a partial lift ing of the burdens of taxation. $JHrj

If this action had not been taken the Ihigher rates of the period immediately following the war Would have extended into 1920 and cost the taxpayers of the United States approximately two billion dollars additional. The Senate voted for a grading down of the war schedule ;and the House accepted the proviso.

The modifications for 1920 are mainly of assistance to the man with the mod­est income. These modifications reduce by one-third the normal tax on in-

es, but leave the surtaxes, which ly tc t'.ia same as tofore. Even without further leg

slation, therefore, the average tax­payer will have a substantial reduction in hia tax bill. The tax to be collected

-Qji the first $4-000 above the exemption will hereafter be only four per cent., instead of six per cent. It is estimated that seventy-five per cent, of income tax payers are subject only to the nor mal tax; the surtaxes applying to the smaller percentage of big incomes.

There will be other reductions in the nation's tax bill due to the insistence of Democrats of the Senate more than •a year ago that war burdens be re­moved as rapidly as possible and that the war revenue bill should include lower taxes for 1920.

Already there has been put into effect the reduction in the war tax on first-class postage. This war tax, which amounts to one cent on each letter, was lifted last July and the two-cent stamp restored.

With the present Congress inatten­tive to a number of reconstruction measures, the wisdom of the Demo­cratic leaders in demanding a settle­ment of the tax question for 1920 is without specific provision in the war revenue bill for a lowering of the tax rates on January 1, 1920, the rates for the present, year would remain in effect since there has been no move in the Sixty-sixth Congress to take up reve­nue legislation.

Various revenue proposals have been made, including the repeal of the lux­ury taxes, but with the Senate ab­sorbed in a six-months debate on the peace treaty and the leaders of the two houses holding divergent views regard­ing such matters as revenue and the tar/ft*, nothing has been accomplished.

Unless Republican leaders of Con­fess address themselves to a revision

taxation on the resumption of the regular session after the holidays, Democrats in the House of Representa­tives intend to force the issue and either compel the majority to take af­firmative action or make their refusal to legislate on this subject so plain to the, people that there will be no mis­understanding of their position.

President Wilson has twice in hia messages to the Sixty-sixth Congress urged simplification of present taxa­tion of profits and incomes, and Secre­tary Glass has offered many construc­tive suggestions for changes that would improve the methods of collecting these taxes and prevent their becoming a handicap to business. The Republican majority has ignored both the Presi­dent and the Secretary of the Treasury.

Democrats in the House of represen­tatives assign various reasons for this refusal of the Republican leaders to attack the problem of taxation. One is that although a reform of war taxa­tion was promised by the Republicans during the campaign a year ago and subsequently before the beginning of •the special session, they now realize it is a difficult and politically dangerous undertaking. A second explanation is that some of the Republicans hope to perpetuate these taxes until the next presidential campaign and use them is a means of prejudicing voters

ralnst Democratic candidates. An-theory is that the leaders of the
