KNOWING ESPERANTO
IS OF GREAT Value
So Say Speakers at Meeting Of
Kolumbia Klubo.

The spread of esperanto and its
great usefulness In all lines was told
by James F. Morton, jr., Of New
York, last night at public meeting
of the Kolumbia Esperanto Klubo at
the Pythian Temple. Morton. who Is
president Of the Cosmopolitan So
ciety of America, told how useful
he had found esperanto In his travels
and gave many examples of its use
by business firms in this country and
in Europe with good results.
The Esperanto society. which Is an
international organization, now has
several committees with headquar-
tiers in Switzerland looking after va
rious interests OF the combatants of
the war. Esperanto, Morton said, has
been found very useful by the Red
Cross organizations OF the various
countries which have endorsed It.
The local delegate of the society.
John A. Shiel, followed Morton. He
told of a man in this country whose
relative was believed to have been
captured by the Turks, but whose
whereabouts could not be learned de-
finitely. He addressed an inquiry to
the Esperanto committee in Switzer-
land; and in little less than a
month a reply came telling of the
capture OF the man.

new INCOME TAX Law
INFORMATION AT THE SOURCE
ASKED BY JAN. 1.
New Measure Provides Tax on Single
Persons Receiving Over $1,000 and
Married Persons Getting over $4,000.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-In the new revenue meas
ure recently passed by Congress
amending the income tax law, there
is incorporated provision which is
of special interest to individuals,
partnerships and corporations, max
ing fixed annual payments Of salaries,
interest. or rent Of $500 or more to
another person, partnership, or cor
poration. This Is known as "Informa-
ton at the source" and the law re.
quires such PERSON, or corporation, to
render true and accurate return Of
all such payments, and provides Sc
we're penalties for failure to make such
return.
This information is required for the
calendar year 1917 and subsequent
years.
Mark A. Skinner, collector of In
ternal revenue, Denver, urges that
these lists be sent in as early as
possible In January. In order that his
office may have an authentic list Of
persons to whom Information and
blanks may be sent for returns under
the income tax law. In furnishing
these lists the employers will be rem
dering service to their employees by
enabling the collector to furnish infor-
nation and blanks to persons liable
to the tax, but ignorant Of the provi-
sions Of the law, and thus save them
from the penalties imposed for failure
to make return on or before March 1st
This work cannot be accomplished
within the limited period unless the
information returns are filed imme-
diately after the first of the year,
says Mr.. Skinner and in the present
critical period when our country
needs money SO urgently, II Is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to CO.
operate with the government officials
in furnishing these lists at the earl
lest possible moment.
Any person coming under the pro-
vision Of this law requiring informa-
ton returns should apply to the col
doctor of internal revenue for proper
blanks and the same will be for
warded as soon as the blanks are re-
ceived from Washington.
The new law requires an income
tax return from single person hav-
ing a net income in excess Of $1,000,
or a married person having net in
come In excess OF $1,000. The law no
longer requires Withholding of the tax
at the source, except In the case OF
bonds guaranteed free of tax; and in
the case of nonresident alien individ-
uals, and corporations, not having an
office In this country.
