She was introduced by Supt. J.

to brush up on Spanish which she
will t -ach in school here this yar.
Mrs I.ac< said first impression

Her observation was that oth«r

of lack of it. She described how
j the crops are tilled and harvest-
id. and how the Indian makes of

i ing unimaginable heavy loads.
The church ol The Lady or

described as one of the most im-

GLASS HOUSES FOR TAXERS
I An Editorial From Mineral Wells Index)
We propose an amendment to the next tax law
That Ihe Secretary of the Treasury, the commnussiom r o| In-
ternal Revenue and his collectors, and all members of Congress, be
required to make out their own income-tax returtti, without benefit
I it counsel.
And an amendment lo that amendment -
That they In- compelled to do their tax pap', work in a glas,-
ct,dosed room, where common taxpayers cad crowd around outside
•ind watch them tl^at.
Are we joking? Certainly not! We arc in no joking mmxl, having
lost several hours' sleep last night toiling over "Form 1010-ES" the
declaration of estimated income ami victory tax which must l e on
file by Sept. 15. under penalty of 10 per cent of our tax if We fail 10
file the declaration, plus 21 j per cent if wc lail to pay the next in-
stallment when due, plus 6 per cent if our estimate is more than 20
per cent short of what our actual income proves to be.
We seriously doubt 'hat the hig shots of the Treasury, Revenue
ilureau and Congress have undergone similar ex|iericnees. They have
11 their beck and call the "experts" who dialled the language of the
■r.tricate laws, rules and regulations, aril who are familiar with such
louble-talk ns "estimated income tnx net income," "estimated victory
•ax net ini-omc." "estimated surtax net income," "earned incom.-
•.redit," "post-wnr credit," "post-war credit currently used,'' and so
forth and so forth.
It ought to be a fair proposition to compel those who enact and
■rdminister the tax laws to do thoir own paper work. If they could
he required to sweat it out, as ordinary taxpayers do, without th"
help of experts, they might some day conclude it would It' wise lr>
give us a tax Imv that is simple and easily understood. .
