Do IT NOW.

Test that seed corn. Or course every
farmer knows more about testing seed
corn than any wspara-man of those
who presume 20 offer tie advice. Let
it go at that and test toe corn, Now.
The thing is to test it. &c plant good
Iseed. To get a stand Of corn. This
is not merely the corn farmers bust
ness but the business Of every person
who has interests in Iowa.
The Iowa farmer is a lucky man.
suppose he did work hard and pay for
the farm. Suppose he does own it by
reason of industry and economy. That
doesn't let him out. Still he is most
fortunate in possessing "Trip Of the
best farming land in the world, 1t is
Up to him to make the best Of it and
do his part for the state that protects
him in the possession of a great OPP
portunity.
Farming is the basic industry in
Iowa. AS the farms go so goes times.
A poor crop of corn affects every per-
son in the state The merchant and
the butcher and the baker and all the
rest of US depend on crops. The far
mer has advantage. If he neglects his
seed. all of US suffer because he lives
on n Iowa farm instead OF another
man who would have raised more corn.
Iowa isn't raising anywhere close to
| the bushels OF corn this soil is able to
produce. The straight way to explain it
is to say that Iowa isn't being farmed
up 70 the opportunity Of her soil. One
reason, even now and after all the agi-
tation and sane conclu sion regarding
seed corn, is that hundreds of bushels
of inferior seed is being planted every
spring in a soil that has no superior
on the face of the earth.
OF course in time, the man who re-
fuses to farm up to the best Of his time
must go and the other man who can
and does measure up TO the oppor
tunity will take his place. That is a
simple process and takes a long time
like all evolutionary processes.
Test your corn. Know what you
have. Don't plant any but the best
seed. You are not farming entirely for
yourself but for all Iowa. Il is a big
thing and carries real responsibility to
own a quarter section Of Iowa soil

YOUR INCOME TAX.

Every man who has earned $4,000 or
over in the last calendar year, must
report his name to the internal revenue
collector at Dubuque before March /
or be fined $1,000 maximum. If he is
a married man living with his wife he
will be taxed only on his income above
$4,000 for that year and then only pro
rata for the last ten months as the
tax began March l last. However, he
must report if his income reaches
$4,000 whether he has any tax TO pay
or not.
If he is a merchant his income is
what he receives in excess Of the
wholesale cost of his goods and he
must set out on his report his cost Of
doing business, which he will then be
allowed to deduct from his income be-
fore he is taxed. Likewise he can de-
duct interest, insurance. taxes. bad
debts and reasonable depreciation on
all property except his home. Then
from the net will be exempted at the
rate Of $4,000 per annurn if ne is single,
or $4,000 per annum If he IS married.
He can also exempt any income upon
which an income tax has already been
paid such as dividends from corpora
tons which have paid an income tax
and interest received from bonds upon
which the maker Of the bonds has paid
the income tax or upon which the
income tax has been paid for him by
some fiduciary agent such as an ad-
ministrator or trustee. But if this in
come upon which the normal ! per cent
tax has been paid by others exceeds
10000 when added to his other net
income then it will not be exempt from
the surtaxes levied on incomes above
$4,000. That ID it will be exempted
from the normal per cent tax because
this income tax has been paid at the
source either by the agent collecting
the income or by the corporation pay
ing dividends and this applies only TO
net incomes below $4,000 per annum;
above that everything pays the sur
taxes.
However, Uncle Sam wants to be
shown on paper just what you propose
to deduct 50 if your salary, interest
income, profits on goods or property
sold. and all other income exceeds
81. 900 during the year 1913, you must
report to the internal revenue collector
at Dubuque You may make your own
deductions and ascape the tax if you
can but your report must be in by
March /, or you will be fined. If you
did not take in $4,000 last year from all
sources, forget the income tax and
hump yourself this year in the hope
that some day you may enjoy the
pleasure of paying an income tax Inc
law in detail will be explained in
series of four articles beginning on

This is the express language OF the
act. but can hardly be said to have
been the intent Of congress.
Who Must Make Return.
Every person of lawful age who has
acts in a fiduciary capacity for another
having a net income of $1,000 or over.
and every corporation (When the word
corporation IS used it is understood to
include joint stock companies, associa-
tons (not partnerships and insurance
companies) must make a return to the
commissioner Of internal revenue for
the district; for the state Of Iowa the
Iowa. Amy person whose net income is
less than $4,000 need pay no attention
to the federal income tax act, but
every corporation not above mentioned
TO be exempt must make return.
When Returns Must Be Made.
Every person required to make re-
turn must do so on or before the first
day of March, and this return must
cover the preceding calendar year.
Corporations may have a fiscal year
which may end the last day OF any
month. If the fiscal year Is different
from the calendar years, corporations
must make a return within sixty days
after the close of the fiscal year. other
wise the return must be made before
March 1.
Penalty For Failure to File.
If any person shall refuse or neglect
to file his return on or before March
l the penalty prescribed for such re-
fusal Is not less than 500 nor more
than $1,000. The commissioner Of in
ternal revenue In such case is apthor
lied and directed to add so per cent to
the tax found due. But if the fall
ure to make or verify the return is
occasioned by sickness or absence the
collector may allow such time for max
ing the list as ne may deem neces-
sary. but such extension shall not ex-
coed thirty days. Application for such
extension of time should b. made to
the collector prior to March 1, stating
Why the extension is necessary and
why the return can not be made on or
before March /. The same is true of
corporations.
Constitutionality.
Is the income tax from March 1 to
the time that the act passed constitu-
tional? 1t has been said that If the
tax had been for the full calendar year
the tax would not be constitutional.
because the sixteenth amendment to
the constitution was not proclaimed by
the secretary Of state until Feb. 81,
1913. But there really is en- objection
and that is whether congress has the
right and authority to pass a retroac-
tive law. Such law is contrary to the
express terms Of the constitution of
the United States. The act was passed
Oct. 3, 1913. and is to take effect
March I.

Looke1-On In Ioya

Radcliffe, Feb. 10-Business men and
others are still discussing the present
taxes levied against their property.
They have arrived at the conclusion
that Governor Clarke and the executive
council are not responsible for the
present condition of affairs. One bust
ness man gave the writer a table Of
figures showing that Hardin countv's
levy and valuation both higher than
last year. He says the valuation for
1912 was s7,30S,2S7 and for 1913, was
s5,2io,255. Also the levy being raised.
the extra not-needed taxes for 1913
will be $4,000 in the county alone.
He further claims the supervisors Of
Hardin county not only failed to lower
the levy after the increased valuations
but made the levy higher, Of course
the writer could not verify their fig
ures. but the uniform statements of
their prominent taxpayers seems to
warrant the requested pubIica ton And
it is more than probable that some
kind Of suit will be brought to COM
pei the supervisors to refund some
amount of this over taxation. One
taxpayer tells Of the action Of board
of supervisors many years ago in
Hardin, renting or refunding the
taxes to number of farmers who lost
their entire crops by a hail storm, and
says the present board has the power
and can be compelled to return a por-
ton of the levied taxes in Hardin
county for 1913.
