fore March 1, representatives of corpo-
rations, big and little, are fairly besieg-
ing the office of E. H. Callister, collect
or Of internal revenue for Utah. Idaho
and Montana, in the federal building.
Brought face to face with the fact that
a failure to make d return would mean
fine of not less than $1,000, the mini
mum fixed by the law governing the
excise tax on corporations, the corpora
ton people are beginning to make
strenuous efforts to have their reports
in the hands of Mr., Callister before the
date fixed.
The office was literally swamped yes
terday, and the elevator boy worked
overtime bringing up fresh audiences
for the collectors office and directing
them to his door. Besides the corpora
tons represented in the person OF some
official or other, scores of others signi-
fed that they had taken notice Of the
rigid orders sent out by mailing at least
an acknowledgment and promising TO
make fun and complete returns within
the time given.

in the court room Of Justice F. NJ. Bish

bit at his finger nails in the court room.
He smiled at his friends, and acknOwl-
edged their mods, but did not speak to
any of them. When the complaint

was read Cotton drew a deep breath
and glanced at his attorneys. They i'm
mediately entered his plea for him.
Being unable to furnish bail, Cotton

is no doubt that the four ears named are
the fastest in the city, and the race Will
be interesting"
I'm on" said Mr. Gimer. Il will be
the last to back out with a car like the
American behind me. The question OF
what course the race is to be run on is
naturally an important one. But am
in with the rest and l will put my mon

be made. Special cars may be imported
for the race. providing that they are

result Will probably be that the best cars

be entered.

ton with such an institution and was
getting busy in an effort to avoid being
made liable to the heavy fine fixed by
the federal statutes. More than one
business man discovered that he had
at one time or another been the presi-
dent or secretary Of an Incorporated
body, and scores of anxious inquiries
came to Mr.. Callister's Office from this
source alone. Inquiries as TO the status
of corporations required to make re
turns also poured in by mail and other
wise, and altogether it was one Of the
busiest days ever experienced by the
collectors office.
In making returns, all corporations
are included under the law. The fact
that a corporation is not organized for
profit does not make it exempt from
making a return. Mr.. Callister states
that all returns must be filed in his Of
