KIRKPATRICK HAS
WHIP HAND He SAYS
cONGRESSMANBE HE WILL
WIN OUT IN HAMILTON
PORTER CONTROVERSY.
TBYt ELISHA HANSON

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Con
gresham Kirkpatrick of the sixth dis
trict now confidently expects Dan
Hamilton to be named United States
district attorney for the southern dis
trict.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has pointed out to
the president that the struggle is one
between him and Judge Wade for the
control of matters in the sixth district
and he doesn't intend to have any out
sider'' interfering with his affairs.
The recent snub offered Mr.. Kirk
patrick by the Wade organization,
which refused to invite him to partici'
pate in the second district campaign,
is believed to have strengthened his
hand with the president. Also it is be-
lieved to have widened the breach be-
tween him and the national commit,
teeman. ,.-.e.
If Claude Porter is named district
attorney, the Wade organization ex.
poets to land E. G. Moon of Ottumwa,
as first assistant. Moon opposed Con-
gresham Kirkpatrick for the nomina-
ton in the sixth district in 1912. He
is said to have the congressional bee
in his bonnet yet, but it is not believed
fight with the veteran. If Hamilton is
named, Moon will not be first assist
ant. for that would give the sixth dis
trict altogether too much.
Hamilton was originally slated for
the place, but at the earnest solclta-
ton of Judge Wade, the attorney gen.
eral withdrew his recommendation ana
substituted Porter's name Now Con-
gresham Kirkpatrick declares Porter
has been sidetracked and that Hamll'
ton will 60 through. If not, well, there
will be war to the finish among the
Iowa democrats.
The differences between Wade and
Kirkpatrick go back to the time OF the
original jockeying among the referees
for appointments. The Wade organ
ization stepped into the ring demand
ing that Kirkpatrick consent to the
recommendation of N. F. Reed OF OF
tumwa, for United States marshal
This was particularly embarrassing as
Kirkpatrick favored another man at
the time. Then tentative agreement
was entered into that Kirkpatrick
could work for Hamilton if he would
indorse Reed. He did this. Then
Judge Wade went to the white house
and declared he didn't give rip about
any other office if he had to lose out
with Porter. He preferred Porter to
all others. Kirkpatrick found it too
late to withdraw his Endorsement OF
Reed, whom he likes personally,
though Reed supported Moon in 1912
However, he has put up a stiff argu-
ment against Porter and at the pres
ent writing appears to be in fair way
to defeat Wade in slam,bang fight
for Hamilton. Whenever the national
committeeman slips into Washington
Kirkpatrick goes direct to the white
house and opposes him. He declares
he hasn't any personal dislike for Por-
ter, whom he would like to see in the
senatorial race, but he does intend to
see Hamilton named United States dis
trict attorney.

TAX FORMS ARE
BEING SENT OUT
NOTIFICATION TO MAKE REPORT
ON INCOMES Is MADE TO
ABOUT 10000 loWANs.

Some 10000 Iowans are this week in
receipt of forms on which to make
report of their income for the ten
months from March ] to December 81,
I1913. For a law about which so much
has been written, there is very gen
eral ignorance, and considering the
PENALTIES to attach from failure of tax
able persons to make returns, and for
fraudulent returns the 10000 were
we'll engaged informing themselves
regarding their duty.
The law contemplates. in the Sec
lions relating to the tax on the income
of individuals. as distinguished from
corporations. that every person receiv-
ing either for himself or others during
the 1O-month period referred to, In
come in excess of $4,000 from all
sources, except from government,
state. municipal. drainage, township,
and school bonds, and as an officer or
employe of state or political sub
division thereof, shall make return
Of income. If the collector Of internal
revenue has not suspected one of hav-
ling such income and has failed to send
Ireturn from the obligation, neverthe-
less upon the person to ask for form,
and failure to ask for it and return it
within the time specified, is penalized
by fine ranging from $40 to $1,000.
"Accrued Interest"
It matters nothing in it's bearing up
on ones duty to make a return that
when his deductions are figured off
Ibis net income for the ten months will
be less than $4,000 He must fill out
the return and swear to it neverthe-
less, listing in addition to his gross
income as directed, the deductions to
which he is entitled and the exemption
of $4,000, if he be single man, and
s3.333.33 if he be a married man living
with his wife. Persons receiving forms
from the collector whose gross income
Excluding that received from the
bonds noted) did not amount to $4,000
for the ten months, need not fill out
and make the return. There is con-
siderable confusion in the minds of
probable taxpayers as to the meaning
Of the term accrued interest" taxa
Bile as income under the law The
doubt is cleared away by the ruling of
the treasury department that accrued
interest means interest due and pay
able. One may have a coupon for a
YEARS interest. say June, 1913 to June
1914. Obviously on Dec 81, 1913, there
would be. six months accrued interest
on such coupon, but inasmuch as the
