CORPORATIONS MUST
 FILE RETURNS SOON.
Office of Tax Commissioner Awaits ln-
 come Reports.

The office of the state tax commis- sioner is busily engaged at present in receiving income tax reports of cor porations doing business in the state. The greater part of the returns have already been. filed but it is expected that there will be a rush in the filing of reports on April 1. as the penalty provided for neglect to file reports by that date is heavy one. Tax Com missioner William H. Corbin has pointed out that all corporations in the state which have not yet filed re- ports should give the matter attention so as to avoid the penalty which may be imposed by the commissioner for any neglect of the provision.
 This is the second year of the ad- ministration of the income tax law in Connecticut and about 5000 corpor- ations are required to file returns. The revenue received from this source last year amounted to about S1 1,600,- 900.

Before all our best blood has rushed to the front we should en- list some of them for this very inn portant home duty.

KEEP YOUR CARDS.

OF course all the "boys" who re-
ceived green cards signed by the regis
tration officers showing that they had
registered, will keep them for the pres
ent as proof that they have done their
duty and have not slunked away from
cowardice or other reason.
But we want to tell these that il they
preserve these cards until they are fifty
and sixty years of age that they will
think great deal more of the little green
pastboards then faded though they may
be than they do now. -
1t will then as now be proof positive
that you ''did you bit" and by thatdime
you will perhaps have children that will
be proud to know that their father was
not a "slacker."
