Tax Payable by June 80.

The commissioner does not expect to
get all the returns In from the collectors
until April TO- The bureau has until
June ! in which to assess the tax and
notify the corporations, and the corpora
tons will have until June 30 in which
to pay the tax.
1t has been estimated that there are
100000 corporations in the country, but
that for one reason or another not more
than 100000 will come under the pro-
vision of the law for the tax. When the
tariff bill was enacted last summer II
was estimated that the revenue from
the corporation tax would be about
So 900, 600. but it is now expected that
it will considerably exceed that sum.

Time Extension Granted.

Mr.. Cabell said that the corporations
had been permitted to make applications
to the various collectors for extension
of time in which to make their returns,
and the collectors had judged these ap-
plications on their merits and allowed
the extension where it seemed reason
able. Corporations allowed these extern
sions therefore do not come under the
delinquent list.
Those corporations which have failed
to make returns will be handled just
as other delinquent taxpayers are
handled by the internal revenue bureau.
The collectors will make out assess
ments against them for delinquency and
they will be asked to show cause why
they should not pay the penalty.
1t was supposed by many persons that
Congress would extend the time allowed
corporations to make returns, and for
that reason many of the corporations
are said to have held off until the last
minute. But Congress failed to make the
extension

TAX RETURNS POUR IN
MANY CORPORATIONS WAITED
UNTIL LAST MINUTE.
Law Imposes Penalty of 81 900 for
Failure to Report-Not Many
Delinquents.

Since the expiration of the time limit
set for corporations to make to the in
ternal revenue bureau returns upon which
much interest has been felt in the pen
atty which the delinquent corporations
will be compelled to pay. The law pro-
vides a fine of 81 900. While Commissioner
Caben of the internal revenue bureau
does not expect there will be many de-
linquent corpor atoms when the list is sub
mitted to him by the collectors, undoubt-
eddy there will be some who failed to
comply with the law for one reason or an
other.
The time for making the returns en-
pired Tuesday. Thousands of returns from
corporations throughout the country were
made to the collectors that day. Commits
sioner Cabell said today that the Offices of
many OF the collectors had been '--pt
open until midnight in order to give the
corporations an opportunity to file their
returns up to the last moment
He was in communication by telephone
with number of the collectors and
turns was coming in from corporations
which had put off until the last moment
complying with the law
II do not anticipate that the delinquent
list will be large. The law imposes fine
of $1,000 upon corporations which fail
to make returns. If they do not make
returns the bureau will make the tax as
sessment upon what Information It can
get, and undoubtedly corporations would
upon their own statements regarding
their business

To Improve River Road

The Commercial Club of Boise has
under consideration the repairing OF
the river road from Horseshoe Bend
to the Payette lakes, and has sent
an engineer to report on the cost.
The principal work viii be between
the Bend and Smiths Ferry. This
roao was built under contract with
the state by the Payette Lumber Co.
@ut the work was done in a slipshod
manner at many places and did not
last long. The acceptance of it by
the state land board caused consider
able talk at the time and strong
protests were made against such ac-
tion, but without avail The grade
is an easy one, runs through the
timber a large part of the way and
its construction in a thorough man
rer would be great boon to the
travelling public and freighters.

Lucky john

While in Weiser two weeks ago
we ran across John Moulton, for
merly of this city. The people down
there call him Lucky John" We
don't know as the term is rightly
applied because his purchase of the
best apple orchard in Washington
county was more a matter of good
judgment than of luck. Added to
his excellent judgment is his thor
ough horticultural knowledge and
experience. John has prospered in
his new home already, but this year
his harvest will be a rich one. He
estimates his apple crop at 5000
boxes from his old orchard, and will
have a large amount of hay besides.
He largely increased his orchard
last year and this A few weeks
ago he refused with scorn an Of
fer of $4,000 in cold cash for his
place Mr.. Moulton has a warm spot
in his heart for Emmett and con-
siders it one of the best fruit sec
tions in the Northwest.

MARVIN STRIKES BACK
Declares That His Accusers Are
Nothing but Human Ghouis.

E. L. Marvin of this city, VINO is
charged in the Poindexter resolution
presented to congress of conspiracy
to defraud the government while
an employe of the Wisconsin Lum-
Der company, comes back in a very
vigorous manner at his accusers
and declares that the persons who
have personally attacked him and
followed him for the past five years
are human ghouls Mr. Marvin left
Emmett several weeks ago to enter
the employ of the Oregon Coloni-
zation company. In an interview
in a Portland paper he said, among
other things:
Aside from the infamy which is
being heaped upon Idaho as state
and the integrity of every state ad-
ministration of the past few years.
have ben personally attacked and
followed by these human ghouls for
the past five years.
During the session of the Idaho
legislature of 1902, l went TO Boise
TO oppose two measures which the
Weyerhausers had caused to be in
troduced One was an extension
of the 20-year period on the state
logging contract which we had made
and which had passed to them thro
the PotIatch syndicate. The other
measure was to give them an ex-
elusive right to run logs down the
Clearwater. 1t provided that every
other logger should pay them toll
Those measures failed to pass.
AT that time l met Governor
Gooding and through him was engas
ed to make an adjustment of their
land grants. While with the board,
l secured 250.OOO acres for the state
we caused every acre to be filed
upon, whether it was occupied by
bona fide homesteader or one of the
fraudulent class. and there were
many of the latter. and also upon
every tract upon which the Rutledge
Lumber company, representing the
had placed scrip.
That was done in order that all ad-
verse claims to the states filings
might be passed upon by the secre-
tary of the interior 1t is true that
since that time all of the contests
have been passed upon in conform
.ty with the facts, the state win
ming most Of the contes $. but in
no case was a bona fide settler de-
,eated.
