THE INCOME TAX.

The ANALYSIS of the income tax
measure by it's author in congress last
Saturday, threw little light on the
actual working of the bill should it
become law. In the way of addi-
tional information it might be men
toned that you must, if you have a
net income of $500, go before the
collector of internal revenue of your
district and under oath or affirmation
make complete and accurate return
setting forth specifically the gross
amount of your income from all sepa-
rat sources and the total thereof and
the deductions to which the law en-
titles you If your income, after the
legal deductions and allowances have
been made, does not exceed $4,000,
you will not be taxed upon it. If it
exceeds $4,000, you will be taxed 1 per
cent on the amount in excess of "a, 900.
That is, if your income should be
$4,000 you will be taxed 1 per cent on
$1,000 of it. But the government will
require sworn returns of all incomes
of $500 or more. 1t does not pur-
pose to take the chance of overlook
ing anybody whose income may be
near the taxable limit and likely to
grow.
If you neglect or refuse to make the
return in the manner and at the time
required, you will be liable to a fine
not exceeding $500. If you make
fraudulent return with intent to evade
the tax you may be fined up to $1,000
or imprisoned for not more than one
year or may be both fined and i'm
prisoned.
If you should decide to take a
chance on being overlooked, you will
need to be very careful to avoid any
display of your prosperity, for the law
directs that every collector shall from
time to time cause his deputies to pro-
coed to every part of his district and
inquire after and concerning all per-
sons therein who are liable for the tax.
If you should happen TO be away
from home or hiding in the cornfield
when the deputy collector makes his
visit, that will not help you. He will
in such case leave a notice with some
one of suitable age and discretion or
mail it to you at the nearest postof-
flee, requiring you to render the re-

MARTIN IS MUM.
No Statement From Democrat Leader
on Senatorship for Six Months.

Not for the present lat least, is
Henderson S. Martin, former chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee and a member of the utilities
commission, willing to make a state
ment as to his senatorial candidacy.
When Martin returned today from a
trip to Washington, he declared that
he would wait six months before max
ing a final decision regarding the SEN
atorship. His friends believe he will
enter the race.
Martin went to Washington a week
ago. He made the trip primarily to
consult the interstate commerce COM
mission regarding a proposition for
the government to assume the work
of making the physical valuations of
railroad properties in Kansas. AS a
side line, Martin went to Washington
to talk over with party leaders the
question of federal patronage in this
state. Incidentally the wires from
Washington carried the news that
Martin would be a contender for the
Democratic senatorial nomination
next year.
II am not trying to assume any
false modesty," said Martin, when
asked about the senatorial PROPOSE
ton, but 1 am not in position to
proposition at this time. There are
several things which I want to con-
slider and 1 will probably have nothing
to say about the matter for at least
six months"
Speaking of the question of the gov
eminent assuming the responsibility
of relieving the state of making the
valuation of railroads in
Martin believes that his trip
was not without some success.
There is really a strong probable
ity that the government will do the
work. said Martin. "In fact I won't
