Big Land Tracts Back to State.

Denver-In response to Land Com
missioner Hoggatt's order that all pro-
moters of Carey act projects should
appear before the land board and
make proof of work done on their pro-
jects or should forfeit their rights to
segregated land, the Tyrone Canal
Company of Las Animas county sur
rendered to the state the $4,000 acres
segregated for its project.
This company was capitalized for
$1.000.0 900, but owing 20 litigation over
the Seven Lakes reservoir site had
been unable to start work on it's pro-
ject. No money had been collected on
its contracts.
The Blue Mountain Canal Company,
which has pending application for
$4,000 acres of land in Rio Blanco
and Routt counties, sent notice that it
will abandon its project and dissolve
as a corporation.

Denver.-Members of the State Tax
Commission will be compelled to in
terpret the laws under which they are
working, occording to an informal
announcement made by Chief Justice
Musser of the Supreme Court to Gov
ernor Ammons.
Undecided as to what they could do
In the matter of raising and lowering
county assessments, the State Tax
Commission appealed to the Supreme
Court for decision. If any of the as
SCISSORS object to their assessments, 1t
is probable that the matter will be
taken to the states highest tribunal
for adjudication.
Under the full cash value law a
question arose as to whether the tax
commission could lower assessments
of some counties when it felt that
other counties were not assessed on a
full cash value basis.
The members of the commission are
preparing TO go over the books of FL
nance Commissioner Clair ]. Pitcher.
In which the assessed valuation OF
property in the downtown district of
Denver is listed. The assessor has
given his consent to the inspection of
the schedules.

Washington. = According to esti-
mates by treasury experts. 425,O00
American citizens must keep such ac-
curate account of their incomes this
year that they will be able to report
to the income tax collector next
spring exactly how much they owe
the government under the new income
tax law.
So far as the taxable American is
concerned. the income tax law prac-
tically now is in force against him.
The tariff bill, in which the law is
embodied. will be signed this week
and the first returns do not have to
be made to the internal revenue col
lectors before March /, 1914. But
when the returns are made they will
cover the incomes of citizens from
March 1, 1913. to December 81, an,i
the first payment of tax will be for
money received during this period.
Every single person (citizen or for
eign residenD whose annual income
exceeds $4,000, and every married per-
son with an income above $4,000 is ex-
pected to report his or her receipts in
detail to the government agents
March J., of each year. The estimate
completed indicates that the income
tax will produce ss2.29s,0OO from the
425,000 persons taxed. To this will
be added the s35.ooO,ooo or more pro
duced by the present corporation tax
which is continued as part of the law.
The income tax estimates follow:

President Wilson, the federal judges
of the Supreme and Inferior Courts
now holding office, and employees "of
a state or any political subdivision
thereof" are the only persons specifi
cally exempted from the tax by the
new law. The President and judges
now in offices were made exempt to
escape any questions of the constitu-
tionality of the law and their success
sors in office will be compelled to pay
the tax.
The amount of the income tax as
finally agreed upon follows:
From $4,000 to $4,000, 1 per cent;
from $4,000 to $4,000, per cent;
10000 to $4,000, 3 per cent; $4,000
to 100000, per cent 100000 to
$500 5 per cent; $250.000 to $780,
900. per cent; above $500,000, I per
cent.
s25. 1000, for example, would pay l per
cent on $4,000 and 2 per cent on $5.-
900, a total tax of $270. If married.
the first tax of / per cent would ap-
ply to only $4,000 OF the income.
Number in Colorado and Wyoming.
Denver.-Of the 425.O0O persons to
pay the income tax in the United
States there are 23,6OO in Colorado
and Wyoming. Forty-five persons in
Colorado have an income of more
than 100000 year and five earn
over this amount in Wyoming. In
the Colorado and Wyoming district
there are $4,000 who have incomes up
to $4,000. There are 45O who have
incomes up to $4,000 year and 100
with incomes up to 100000.
