LAW ON INCOME
TAX RETURNS

The time having arrived to file In
come tax returns under the Federal
Income Tax Law for the year 1916,
announcement has been made by J.
]. Scott. Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue. at San Francisco, that severe
penalty will be imposed upon every
individual liable to file returns but
fails to do SO on or before March 1st,
and upon the officers Of every corpor-
alton who fail to comply with the law.
In the districts covered by the Collect
or of Internal Revenue at San Fran
cisco are the forty-eight counties In
California north of the northern line
of Kern and San Louis Obispo coun-
ties, also the entire State of Nevada.
Returns may be filed either at the
main Office In the Custom House at
San Francisco. or 1T he branch Of
fices at Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno
and Reno.
Immediately after March LIST large
force of Field Officers will be sent
out to canvass the territory, and
those who are liable to file returns
and who have not done SO at that
time will be required to do SO and
will become subject to the penalties
of the law. These penalties provide
both heavy fine and Imprisonment

at night for certain part of the fl
ing period. In order that individuals
and corporations may be accommodate
ed. but no excuse will be accepted for
failure to comply with the law in the
case of those persons having suffici-
ent income to make them liable. The
Internal Revenue Office has been ad-
vised as to great many OF those per-
sons through out the district. it hay-
ing on file numerous reports from In
vestigators who have been at work
gathering information during the past
year. This information has been OBJ
Collector Scott states that every op-
portunity will be given for voluntary
filing. His offices will be kept open
tanned from every conceivable source
and the incomes of great number
who have not heretofore obeyed the
law have been practically acertained.
There will be cleanup" In respect
to these individuals If they fail to file
on or before March 1st this year.
1t would take great deal of space
to explain thee hanges made In the
income tax statute by the Revenue
Act of Sept. 8. 1915. Information re-
garding these changes will be given
promptly upon application in writing
or in person to the Internal Reveue
Office in San Francisco or one of the
branches mentioned. Lack of informa-
ton will not be accepted as an ex-
cuse II any person with sufficient In
come to make him or her liable is
found after March 1st not to have
complied with the law.
In the past considerable leniency
has been shown. bnt the income tax
law having been In effect three years
1t is felt that the time for leniency has
passed as the opportunity has been
offered for all to inform themselves.

tarium for treatment.
On Thursday of last week, while her
husband was driving on the Anderson
grade near Crawford, the horses became
frightened and ran away, throwing the
driver to the ground and over TWEEN
ty-foot embankment. There were no
eye witnesses so far as is known, but
passersby discovered his body, life
quite extinct.
The unhappy wife, plunged SO sud
denly in grief, became temporarily un-
balanced mentally and after examina-
tion in the county court was recon-
mended to the sanitarium as above
stated.
Mrs. Foster is lady of refinement
quiet and non-committal. She did not
seem to realize where she was going
or just why she was to board the train,
but was gently persuaded to do so and
seemed quite content to trust to her
nurse.
The tragic feature of the case is the
fact that there are four children, who
through fate, are denied the love and
protection of both father and mother.

 Gusie Felstrom worked all day in the box factory. It was monotonous, wearisome work, and very small pay.
 She saw on the avenue, when she went home. other girls, no prettier than she wearing becoming, beautiful clothes. When she went in to buy a pair of cheap cotton gloves she saw women buying long kid ones, and a kind of rebellion surged up in her heart at the existing state of things. But there was the worn-out overworked mother, and four children, all younger than herself. The fathers small, inter- mittent earnings barely kept roof over their heads.
 Had Gussie not been girl who thought. sine might have drifted along, perhaps in the footsteps of her moth CT. or worse, have become q girl of the streets on the downward road to despair and death. She determined to fit herself for something better, so learned typewriting.
 She began working in an office at S5 a week. This was not much better than the box factory wages, and she required better clothes, in order to make a decent appearance, so from a monetary point of view her condition was not much improved. But she felt she had taken a step upward and the family regarded her advancement in life with considerable pride. As the girl grew older and wanted more. and her wages did not correspondingly in- crease After she had been a typist for two years she was earning only $S a week
 She was now nineteen, and her asso- citation with other girls in offices had shown her homes cleaner, brighter, and altogether more livable than her own. ! She determined to have something bet ter for herself. Two of the young CT children were now working, and she resolved to seek room away from the home roof.
 Both father and mother endeavored to show her how ungrateful, unfeeling, and utterly inhuman such q course would be to them: but in spite of up- braidings and entreaties Gussie found room, and installed herself therein. As there had been an unpleasant scene

at the parting, she cut loose entirely from the family. not even letting them know where she had gone. Her room, though small. was neat and comfort able, and in good part of the city. She got her breakfast over the gas In her room. and her other meals at a cheap restaurant.
 At home. when she came from the office, she was expected to wash dishes and help with the housework. Now after office hours she was free to sew. keep her clothes in order. read. rest, or go where she pleased. If there were hours when she missed the com panionship of mother and the children, they were more than balanced by the joy of her new freedom. She had more opportunities for going out with her friends and making new acquaint- ances. On one of these occasions she met man who told her he was about to open an office, and he offered her a position as typist with much better salary than she was getting.
 Frank Austin, the man in question, was a good talker, well hammered, well dressed. about thirty-five years of age, and to all appearances gentleman. Gussie accepted his offer. and found her new quarters pleasant and attrac- tive. On the glass door in gilt letters were the words: "Pyro Mining and h. vestment Company, Frank B. Austin, President"
 Gussie was kept busy addressing hundreds of letters and circulars all over the country. Besides this she wrote a great many letters at Austin's dictation. She was working harder than she had been, but she reasoned she was getting better pay. It seemed very wonderful to her to be writing about millions, and enormous returns for money invested, and one day she ventured to say she wished she might own q few of those shares, whereupon
