Collector Gilkeson gives out the
following information relative to the
income tax law now in force:
Corporations are to be taxed on
their entire net income, and indi-
duals on the excess of income over
$4,000. All individuals, however,
who have income aggregating So, 800
must make returns showing the
amount of incomes from all sources
and these returns both for corpora
tions and individuals must be made
to the Collector of Internal Revenue
on or before first Monday in March.
In case of failure to render return
as required, the party's income shall
be ascertained by the Collector, the
tax determined and 80 per cent. add
ed to it, which shall then stand as the
lawful assessment against the party.
Because the Collector fails to SCI d
you blank on which to make return
is not sufficient excuse o old the
80 per cent. additional tax. The
law requires the tax pay er to make
the return.

The bill legalizing the contract be.
tween the trustees of Berkeley
Springs and the New York syndicate
which proposes to improve the
Springs, came up on its final passage
in the House of Delegates wedncs-
day, and was the occasion of a
strong oratorical battle between the
members arrayed on either side of
the question. Major Mcdonald OPP
opposed the BILL making, as the
Wheeling Register correspondent
says, . one of the most eloquent and
effective speeches of the session. I"
The vote being taken on the passage
of the bill, it was rejected. This
action was subsequently reconsidered
and the bill passed.

Whilst Morris and other Republic
cans of the State Legislature are
disposed TO run mad in the line of
partisan legislation and forget that
there may be day of reckoning, it
is pleasing to note that there are
such men in the opposition party as
Hon. Geo. F. Evans of Berkeley, who
have not entirely lost their heads,
and still possess realizing sense of
decency and some appreciation of
thei- responsibilities in the position
oflegislators for the whole. Apropos
of this we observe that the scheme
10 take the appointing power out of
the hands Of the Governor received
black eye in the House of Delegates
The discussion was precipitated by
the consideration of the Toler bill,
providing for five mine inspectors TO
be appointed by the Governor, the
President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House, virtually taking the
power out of the hands of the Gov
ernor to appoint these officers. Mr..
Brady led the opposition to this
unusual provision. Mr.. Evans
made vigorous speech in which
he declared it was a reflection upon
the chief executive to take the ap-
pointing power from him, and con-
trary to law and precedent to confer
upon legislative officers executive
powers. He warned the House that
this partisan work would come home
to the Republic ans if persisted in
Messrs. Edwards, Morris, Toler Pyle
and others advocated the partisan
provisions of the bill, but the scheme
was finally defeated, and the bill so
amended as to give the Governor the
power to appoint the mine inspectors.
