The i figures were contained in the prelim-inary report of the commissioner of internal revenue, made public Octo-ber 10. It shows that from income and profits taxes the government re-ceived approximately tjhree-fourtfi- s of all its revenue. In these two Items there was, an increase of $1,356,000,000 over the fiscal year of 1919, receipts for the two years being: 1920, $3,957,-701,00- 1919, $2,000,000,000. t , From multifarious sources of "mis-cellaneous" taxation the levy produced $1,450,374,000, an increase over the previous year of $201,000,000.

From distilled spirits the government received $97,907,000 in the last fiscal year, while the taxes from the same source in 1919 were $305,211,000. Taxes on fermented liquors for the last fis-cal year aggregated $41,905,000 and for the fiscal year of 1919, $117,839,-00- ' The transportation tax", which had been estimated to produce about $2i5,-000,00- 0 annually, reached $307,808,000 for the last fiscal year.

One of the chief items in this list was the tax on motor cars, which, netted $144,000,000. f. Taxes on jewelry, cosmetics and other luxuries produced an-other $50,000,000. The special corpor-ation tax on the value of its stock yielded $93,000,000. ; The 1919 consumption of cigars was 7,110,000,000, and in the fiscal year of 1920 ranged slightly above 8,200,-000,00- ' The report showed that tuxes had been paid on 30,950,000,000 cigarettes in 1918, 38,100,000,00 In 1919 and in the fiscal year ended June 30.

RAILROADS APPEftL PRESIDENT, p OBJECT TO RULING OF COMP. '"' ' TROLLER TO HOLD UP GUARANTEES. ' Declare Decision Would Work an Un. due Hardship on the Roads by Postponing the Guaranty Pay-ments for Six Months. Washington. The railroads of the country have appealed to President Wilson against the ruling of the comp-troller of the treasury that the treas-ury, department withhold from the roads all further payments due them under the guarantee provisions of the transportation act until final account-ing had been completed by the car-riers. . Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel of the Association of Railway Execu-tives, explained that the roads had appealed to the president because they believed the comptroller's ruling was an erroneous construction of the law, Which, he said, clearly Intended that partial payments should be made when the various amounts had been determined. The comptroller's de-cision, he added, would work an undue hardship on the roads by postponing the guaranty payments to them until the final returns for each of the six months between March and September 30 had been calculated. Arguments on the right of the inter-state commerce commission to pre-scribe rates for rail transportation within the states began Monday at a hearing before the. commission on the application of the railroads or New York to compel the state public service commission to permit an increase in passenger fare for intrastate traffic similar to the 20 per cent advance granted for interstate travel. PLEA FOR BROADER i n c ... ;t ' , u ,f V ... FORGIVENESS 18 KEYNOTE OF NINETY-FIRS-T SEMI-ANNUA- L SESSION OF CHURCH. - y., ... " Payment of Tithing One of the Essen-tials to Right Living on Part of Every Member, Declares President Grant. " t. i : ' Salt Lake City. A plea for a broader and deeper charity, disposi-tion to forgive, : an admonition to "judge not that ye be not judged," to keep the commandments of God, pay very dollar of honest tithing owed and to observe strictly the wprd of wisdom, formed the chief features of the address of President Heber J. Grant at the tabernacle in opening the ninety-firs- t semi-annu- conference of " the L, D. S. church on October 8. All through the remarks of the of-ficial head of the church ran his strong disapproval of carrying person ' al or selfish interests and aims into religious work. . , ' - I i President Grant made reference to the league of nations issue, saying that at a former conference he had xpressed his regret that it should be made a political or party issue. He still regretted that the league had been made a political Issue, holding that this was one of the ' questions that should be settled outside party politics. Payment of tithing is one of the es-sentials to right living on the part of every member of. his church, the speaker said. He said that as such the' Latter-da- y Saints ' are strong financially, but maintained that the man who failed to pay his tithing was robbing himself most of all. Gratitude for the enactment of na-tional prohibition was strongly voiced and the hope expressed that the time would soon come when all the coun-tries of the old world would also be "dry." rTr President Grant also expressed his pleasure that the women of America had been, granted the franchise, but made no attempt to discuss any of the phases of the woman suffrage ques-tion. .. Anthon H. Lund, first counselor to President Grant, who made the sec-ond address of the morning, expressed i the hope that the wise counsel given b.'the church ' leader 'ould find,' an' abiding place In the hearts of all pres-ent. He drew upon sacred history for , illustrations to Impress ,the necessity of dealing with men in a spirit' of love, oltiiiff tha account of the exnerl- - ' .; ''. V'1- -' ' ; At the .Saturday morning session of the (Conference, service, sympathy, and ultimate justice in the sense of retri-bution were the dominant notes of the hree adduesseS; deltvpfed. JTh speate ers vere ApWies George F. ftichardsf, David O. Mcpay and Anthony EW. Ivins, and the keynotes of their talks were the; themfcs mentioned Apostle Richards emphasized "service," Apos-tle Mckay'"sympathy" and' Apostle Ivins "ultimate Justice." At the afternoon session the themea discussed embraced the observance ol the Ten Commandments and "brother-ly, love" by Apostle Joseph, Fielding Smith; the definition Vf the- dhurch's duty toward sinners by Apostle James E. Talmage, and the duty of the church toward Its own people and to-ward nonchurch members by Apostle Stephen L. Richards. Each of the speakers took occasion to say that It was under the Inspira-tion of the wise counsel given by President Heber J. Grant In his key-note address of .Friday morning that they were led to impress upon the peo-ple, through elaboration and Illustra-tion, the thoughts that were embodied, in the leader's speech. ' '- - Saturday night the Tabernacle choir gave a concert as'a tribute to the long and faithful service of Prof. J. J. McClellan," chief organist, who has just twenty years of service in that capacity. Twp mag-nificent bouquets of choice cut flow-ers and a beautiful gold watch, suit-ably engraved, were tributes In token of the esteem and affection In which the organist is held. One of the features of the morning session on Sunday was the address of Apostle Melvln J. Ballard, who' set out his exposition of the view that the Latter-da- y Saints were the chosen seed of Israel, set apart and designat-ed by God in a previous existence for exaltation arid glory here, who were to enjoy the reward for their faith-fulness and loyalty in the "latter day when the wicked Gentiles and all oth--' ers who rejected the true gospel are to be condemned and punished." - Taking for his text: ; "By their fruits ye shall know them,'; Apostle Lyman pointed out that it was more than 100 years ago since the prophet Joseph Smith' received his first vision, more than ninety years ago since the ouirch was organized, and more than eighty-eigh- t J'ears ago siilce the "Word of Wisdom!' was glvetf to the saints through revelation. He affirmed that this period of time should be long enough to give demonstration that, the gospel of the Latter-da- y Saints is true. .'.. , tj J Hyrum G. Smith, ' presiding1 patri-arch of the church, was the first speaker of the afternoon. He con-fined his remarks largely to a discus-sion of the need that the saints sup-port and encourage each other in the doing of good, and a prayer for bless- - ences of ,Iavid and Saul. Amplifying the subject of. forgiveness, he spoke of the history of Christ, who, when hanging upon the cross, prayed for forgiveness of his ; persecutors, be-cause they knew not what they were doing. .,' ( i Charles W. Penrose, ,cond coun-selor to President Grant, after stating that the address of the leader con-tained the veritable words of eternal life, extended the scope of Illustra-tions on the subject of having charity In dealing with men. He rlso dwelt at some length Upon the necessity of honest tithe paying. "The church is so big now," he declared, "that It can do without me or you or anybody else ; It Is a question of our own good to be honest with God, ourselves and the church." At the afternoon session Apostle Rudger Clawson dwelt largely upon three subjects, profanity, tobacco and debt. Concerning the first he referred to the ten commandments and their injunction against the taking in vain of the Lord's name. He spoke In most emphatic terms concerning the inter-diction of the church against the use of tobacco and counseled earnestly that Its use in any form be prevented. Concerning debts, Apostle Clawson said that the bondage of such obliga-tions is worse than prison. ,, ., :r United States Senator Reed Smoot of the counsel of twelve dwelt in his address principally upon the impor-tance of the right sort of home life In the community, concluding his re-marks with a eulogy of the work of the missionaries at home and abroad, and spoke especially of the desirabil-ity of bringing into the church those living in Zlon. ' Orson F. Whitney ' declared ' that "this gospel called Mormonlsm is not a product of the nineteenth century. It Is the everlasting gospel, the ' same yesterday, today and tomorrow. There never was but one gospel. There has been a series of dispensations, and these must be brought together so that perfection may reign when the Lord returns. The welding link must bind In order that unity may prevail, which is the work of preparation for the coming of the Lord." mgs upon all his people. Presiding Bishop Charles W. .Nibley took occasion to reply to criticisms of those within the church, who objected to the church being In business. He said: "Business Is a part of the church business. It Is one of the pur-poses for which It Is established. It is in business so that It can help in the work of developing and building ;up cities and towns and communities; the church Is one of the means to this end and that is one of the reasons for its power and influence." James N. Lambert, former president of fhe New Zealand mission, who has recently returned from four years of labor among the Maoris, told of the avidity with which the natives of New Zealand were accepting the gospel and the establishment of their racinl con-nection with the Kanakas of the Hawaiian Islands. Dr. Seymour B. Young, senior pres-ident of the first seven presidents of the seventies, recalled some of the In-cidents in the early history of the church, with special reference to what he designated the massacre at Haun's mill, September 28, 1838. , He testified that after seventy years of experience in the active work of the Mormon church he saw more clearly than ever before the truth of Its principles. ( B. H. Roberts of the council of sev-enties, expressed his feeling of Inabil-ity to voice, in his own language, the thoughts inspired by the successful, conference. He believed that the writ-ten scripture would better carry the largeness of the appeal. i M Brotherly love was the theme of an address by Rulon S. Wells of the coun-cil of the seventies. , His thoughts were supported by quotations from the Bible, his argument being closed with a strong admonition against bearing false witness. ' With the unanimous and prompt BButaining of each and every one of its general authorities and prayer by President Heber J. Grant for the bless ings of God upon the Latter-da- y Saints, the ninety-firs- t semiannual, conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y ,. Saints was' brought to a close at 4 :30 o'clock Sun-day afternoon. i i One of the chief subjects under dis-cussion during the conference was stake leadership work, which was con-ducted under the church social ad-visory board. The work comes under three heads, social and recreational leadership, charities and relief work and teachers' training. c Church school workers and prlncl-- 1 pals held the first session of their convention Wednesday morning. Re-ports by a number of prominent church school men who have been at-tending summer school sessions was a feature of the meeting. All of the general authorities of the church, with one exception, were in at-tendance. Apostle George Albert Smith, president of the European mis-sion, was In London and unable to be present. Much of the preliminary work at-tendant upon auxiliary organizations was attended to before i.the- - opening session. Presidents of the various missions of the church held a meeting In the temple on Wednesday and with a majority of the ' quorum of te twelve discussed progress made since tk last general conference, .

To the long list of unusual occupa-tions by which men live, there must be added that of the "ham smeller" in a packing house. His duty is to Inspect meat products and judge of their soundness. ; The ham smeller's only tools are a long steel trier and bis nose. He stands In a barrel to keep his clothes from being soiled by the dripping brine, and the hams are brought to ' him 'by workmen. A ham is laid be-fore blm, and he plunges his sharp-- -- pointed trier into it, withdraws it and passes It swiftly beneath his nose. The trier always goes down to the knuckle Joint.

The smell of the meat ,1s al-most universally sweet, and that Is what he smells; the slightest taint or deviation from the sweet smell is therefore appreciable. It is not the degree of taint that he expects to find, bnt the slightest odor that is not sweet. When he detects an odor he th7o,- the meat aside, and If it is not un-wholesome, It is sold as "rejected" meat, but If It Is tainted it goes to the rendering tank. The ham tester smelis meat from 7 o'clock in the morning until 5 at night, and his sense must never become jaded or inexact, or his usefulness would be at an end. . Ham testing is not a pursuit dan-gerous to the health, as tea testing is supposed to be, but the ham smeller with a cold In his head is for the time being like a piano player-wh- has lost his arms In a railway wreck.

Bret Harte, though he was the his-torian of the "Argonauts of 1849," had no real love of yachting. Yet his fav-orite resort during the last years of his life was the Royal Thames Yacht J club.
