"I Is hlithly probable that tho
j, . profit tax law will bo re
rf, 1 before I92l." says Stewart
The iiier. formerly head of the In
rot ' rxccM profits, and ostaic tax
lit q m of tho solicitor's office In
Wii inRton. I. O. Mr Chevalier !
vis. R in tho home of Mr. and Mrs.
ju. Ilrd, Jr.
Mr Chrvullcr believes It Is likely
th i the next conRrcss will pass
h. il remedial legislature m con
IK n with the Income and excess
r ' laws. He nays he Is sure tho
jin.t will bo simplified and that tax
ran . will no doubt bo readjusted,
to 'he tax burden will rest heavily
on ' Ttaln Industries mid Individuals.
ii is probable that tho next ton
fri - will nuthurlze tho cominls
nonrr of Internal rcvenuo to Kettle
dix ImMlliles of tho taxpayers
pr .ni,'iiy und finally. In this wny tho
Un.i'''r.n wl" "ot ho In constant
fear that under some new law they
wi'l be subjected to some nddltlonul
a-f- nent for taxen during tho past
ysir' said Mr. Chevalier.
He points out that ono of th pres
ent defects In law Is duo to tho fact
that the business man never knows
wi'h certainty J"t how much taxes
he will have to pay when the taxes
will be finally und definitely fet
tled Ho says, also, that It Is possible
that some of the relief pprovlded In
the pretsnt law with which few tax
patera now seem familiar.
Mr Chevalier naB that neither
political party has attempted to
mKe an Ihsuo out of the subject ot
ftclcrul taxes. The. leaders of both
hiiucs of congress seem generally
sir ed as to the reforms which were
muifcslod by tho present secretary
of the treasury In n letter to one of
the i om.nittee In congress and which
reforms state In substnnco tho samo
Umjuage in tho platform of the re
publican party
The bureau Is seeking as far ns
possible through public bulIeUris
and In other ways to famlllarlzc'tho
taxpayers with their rights and du
ties Men who have made u study
of thl subject advise the taxpayers
of their obligations without attempt
ing to enlighten tnem on the latest
rulings of tho department This may
Mve them from endlesa embarrass
ment In tho future. .
Mr. Chevalier says that as long tin
the law Is In an unsettled stato It
Is Inevitable that taxpayers will bo
annoyed from Umo lo tlmo by tho
nectsslty of readjusting their tnxes,
was mado nrqualn'ed with th.
threats to take possession of tin
prlsontr Not believing the leaders
of a mob, If forimd. would haw

en to protect Helton Nsturdny morn

Woolley went lo Hperry to keep or
der on the last du of an Indian
stomp tlnme iiinl when he returned
to bin home nbo.it 10 o'clock that
night, tie was told by bis wife that
she had reielved a telephone mes
ne from some unknown person
that a mob was forming near the
eoutt house Woolle) went lmmed
lately to the court 'house und to 'his
office, and n few minutes later, nn
nccntnpnnlcd. went to the south side
of the rntnt house where he told the
crowd that thev had better gle up
the Idea of taking forcible ptmsoti
slrm of Helton.
Talked In Mob.
After talking with them for sev
eral minutes, he again went to his
office believing the mob, then com
posed of about 100 inombers, would
give up their) plans. When 'he a few
minutes later stepped to the door of
his office three of the mob loaders,
their faces covered with handker
nhlefs below the eyes, drew revol
ors und taking the officer's weapon,
compelled the latter to march nhiiuil
of about 25 men up the narrow steel
stairway t the Jail. At the top of
the stairs at the command of Hie
leaders, Woollov ordered the Jallorn
to open the two doors and the mob
went Into the corridor of the Jail
L'nder n promise that If the prisoner,
Helton won delivered to tliem. n

Woolley ordered the Jailers to get
