INCOME TAX
misunderstood

Washington, Jan. 16.-Despite the
thousands of forms and scores of reg
ulations issued by the Treasury De-
partment, telling how the income tax
is to be paid, it has been unable to
clear up the existing misapprehension
Recently there has been received at
the Department several checks, in
payment OF taxes on incomes. This
tax is payable only to the internal rev.
enue collectors in the proper district
The Treasury Department has for
warded these checks to the collectors,
to be later returned to Washington.
A surprising fact is that the above
mentioned checks didn't come from
individuals who might misinterpret the
law without consulting lawyers, but
from financial institutions.
The Treasury Department expects
soon to receive hundreds of checks
and money orders, in payment of the
income tax. One clerk in that de-
partment will do nothing but forward
this money to collectors. 1t is estimat-
ed that more than FIVE thousand per-
sons will take the wrong view of the
law and send the money to Washing
ton.

nation with the governors support and
that the governor in his candidacy for
the nomination to his present or1ce
will have the assistance of the ma
tional chairman. However, the more
normal and rational inference is that
which such an alliance may eventually
be formed, it is merely in embryo at
this time.
For long time it has been knowIl
by the friends of Senator Root that
he expects to retire at the end of his
present term, which expires March Z,
1915. 1t is understood that he will
then devote his attention to some Law
practice, and to his duties as vice presi-
dent Of the Carnegie foundation, and
as one of the leading figures in the
world peace movement endowed by the
iron master"
Republicans are of the opinion that
Henry L. Stimson, who was nominated
for governor in 1910 by the state con-
vention dominated by Theodore Roose-
Welt, but defeated for election by John
Dix, will become one of the republican
candidates for the toga that is to be
shed by Mr.. Root
