the governments income tax mar
will be around, and where to find
him. He will answer your ques-
tions, swear you to the return, take
your money, and remove the
wrinkles from your brow. Returns
of income for 1917 must be made
between January I and March l,

"The Government recognizes"
j Collector of Internal Revenue Haly
said today, "that many persons
experience good deal of difficulty
in filling out income tax forms. It
recognizes too, that taxpayers resi-
dent at points where collectors
offices are not easily accessible find
it hard to get proper instruction in
the law. Next year, when ever mar
ried person living with wife or hus-
band and having a net income of
$4,000, and every unmarried person
not the head of family and having
a net income of $1,000 for the year
1917 must make return of income
on the form prescribed, there viii
be hundreds in every community
seeking light on the law, and help
in executing their returns. My own
and every other collection district
in the nation will be divided into
districts, with the county as the
unit, and government officer in
formed of the income tax assigned
to each district. He will spend
hardly less than a week in each
county,-and in some counties
longer time, very likely in the
courthouse at the county-sea
town. In cities where there are
collectors branch Offices, he will pc
there, and in other cities possibly at
the city hall. My Office will in due
time advise postmasters and bank
ers and send out notices to the
stating when the offic-
er viii be in each county. 1t will
be unnecessary for prospective
taxpayers to ask my Office for
forms on which to make returns.
The officer who visits their county
will have them.
at may be stated as a matter of
general information that net in
come is the remainder after sub
tracing expenses from gross in
come. Personal, family, or living
expense is not expense in the mean
ing of the law, the exemption being
allowed to cover such expenses.
"The new exemptions of $1,000
and $4,000 viii add tens of thous-
ands to the number of income tax
payers in this district, inasmuch as
practically every farmer, merchant,
tradesman, professional man and
salary worker and a great many
wage workers will be required to
make return and pay tax.
p "The law makes it the duty of
the taxpayer to seek out the col
'ector. Many people assume that if
an income tax form is not sent, or a
government officer does not call,
they are relieved from making re-
port. This is decidedly in error.
1t is the other way round. The tax
payer has TO go to the government
and if he doesn't within the time
prescribed, he is a violatoF of the
law, and the poyernment will oo IN

The State Land Board, under Ray
mond Miller, president, has already
begun the actual appraisement of all
lands owned by the state. This was
provided for by the recent General
Assembly, and will do away with long
waits on the part of people who de-
sire to buy or lease state acres. Also
the appraisement will bring to Colo
RADIO several hundred thousand acres
originally decided by the federal gov
eminent, but heretofore unclaimed by
the state because they had never
been classified or appraised.

scope Of HOMESTEAD lcT
EIuAcED DY RECENT RULING

The scope Of enlarged homesteads
has been Increased, according to O.C.
Skinner, register of the U. S. Land
Office for this district, who has fur
nished the News Champion with the
following interesting facts, which will
be OF especial interest to land seekers
and homesteaders:
The act of February 20, 1917, pro-
vides relief for certain entrymen un-
der the homestead laws who were de-
prived of the right to obtain additional
lands under the enlarged acts because
the first homestead was irrigated
land.
This act applies only to entrymen
who proved up on less than 160 acres
of homestead.
Briefly, the provisions are: That
the former entry need not be of the
class required for designation-in 9TH
er words, it may be irrigated land or
it may Tin the opinion Of the regis
teri be even forest reserve lcnd, but
It must in any event be less than 100
acres.
The act provides that any entry
man who has made proof on his for
mer entry of less than 100 acres, may
y
grazing character twice as much land
as he would be entitled to take of ir-
rigated land.
In other words, if he proved up on
40 acres of land, he has right of
l2O acres coming to him, and in lieu
of that may take 24O acres of dry
farming or grazing land.
He may take of the latter class of
land as many acres, one-half Of which
when added to the acreage he made
proof on make the 16O acres.
1t would seem from the circular of
instructions now in the land office,
that this law will apply to the home
steader who made proof in this pro-
ject, though of course this is subject
to ruling by the secretary, and it
would also apply to the homesteader
who made proof in forest reserve.
if in either case the former entry was
for less than 16O acres.

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS

Elk Mountain Pilot-The Young
Brothers have arranged to do extern
sive improvements upon their ranch
below town, the first of which will be
the taking of . big ditch from East
river. John downright has been up
from the ranch for q day or two on
business. He is in temporary charge
of the Sokast property.
Montrose Press-Emil Strand of
Bostwick Park, who has made an en-
viable record for selling potatoes he
raised last year on his ranch, has Just
sold two narraw gage carloads of fine
spuds for $2,S14.45. Frank Lorimer
Of the Lorimer-Anderson Co., was the
purchaser Of the potatoes, which will
be shipped out of the Valley, bring
ing the usual high price.
Paonian - Sixteen cars of cattle
from Richfield and Salina, Utah, were
unloaded in Hotchkiss the last of the
week to be ranged in this vicinity this
season by J. F. Hutchinson. Four cars
also came in from Longmont for Wes-
ley Richie. The first of this week 20
cars of sheep were brought in from
winter feeding pens at Ol.the for
Hotchkiss Bros. and Lewis & Morrow.
While potatoes are far from being
the most concentrated food, it is a
fact that by this crop one can grow
more human food from an acre than
with any other crop known to man.
That is the reason for the constant
advice to plant spuds. Perhaps it
will be overdone, and in any case, we
are likely to get tired eating them
next season. However, we have en-
lists for the war, SO it's spuds for US.
Auditor Charles Leckenby and Will
liam Peck, his appointee as public ex-
