play again this coming Friday. This
time il will be the fast Elko team,
and this may be your last chance to
see our girls in action, as this is the
last game scheduled on the home
court so far. Their other games are
away from town.
Our girls are generally considered
about the State as perhaps the
strongest team in Nevada, and on
that account they deserve your hearty
support and patronage.
Rehearsals on the annual high
school play are going forward splen-
didly every evening in spite of the
cold weather. The play this year is
comedy and promises a hearty
laugh for every line. We hope to
present it in about two weeks.
The cooking class this year is a
large one; sixteen in all, and they
compose one of the most active and
interesting features of the school
work.
The first OF a series of luncheons
for the year occurs today. Misses
Hoskins. Warren, Dwyer and Peck
are hostesses this time. The guests
are Mrs. G. r. Stevens. Mrs. C. It.

ceipts from all sources amounted tc
9O,545.97, and the disbursements
were 5,088.95, leaving a balance
on hand of $515,45702, against a bal
anee on January l, 1916, of $276, 900. .09
"a gain of $23S,765.02 during the
year. The educational department OF
the State leads all others in the item
OF expense, with a total expenditure
OF S439,862.34 for the support and
maintenance of the public schools
University, Virginia City and Tonopah
schools of mines, historical society
school teachers pensions, etc. The
charitable and penal institutions
come next, with $167,28245, and COM
missions and boards s43,376.30. This
latter includes the Public Service
commission, s5,0649S; Railroad COM
mission, s18,893.80; and the Tax COM
mission. s12. 1883. For salaries OF
elective officers and assistants, $685.
673.76.
The valuation of all State property
totals s2,041. .096.31.
In the collection of State revenues

s1S7,07S.41, with Washoe second with
$149,179.93: Humboldt third with
S130,29027, and White Pine fourth
with $1O8,26407.
The total assessed valuation OF

was collected.
The estimated receipts for 1917-1s
are placed at s2,603. 10000, and the
disbursements at a like amount. This
as the controller says, is purely an
arbitrary table and is offered only as
a starting point.
The report also shows that the
State Treasurer is custodian of bonds
belonging to the Industrial Insurance
fund amounting to $58.S00.
To quote from Controller Cole in
his report. the figures prove healthy
condition of State financial affairs

lowest tax rate in its history, every
State fund carries a substantial bal
ance, and State assets have increased
about 100000 The assessed valua-
tions of real and personal property
has increased more than 10 per cent
while in mining the gross production
shows an increase of so per cent.
In the matter Of State expense, 45.s
per cent of the whole goes for edu
cational purposes and ia per cent
for charitable and penal institutions
The report also discloses an increase
of income and decrease of expense
over the preceding year.

RULES FOR MAKING
INCOME TAX REPORT

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 Jo-
seph ]. Scott, collector of internal
revenue at San Francisco, that a se-
we're penalty will be imposed upon
every individual liable to file return
but fails to do so on or before March
1st, and upon the officers of every
corporation who fail to comply with
the law. In the district covered by
the collector of internal revenue at
San Francisco are the forty-eight
counties In California north of the
northern line of Kern and San Luis
Obispo counties, also the entire State
of Nevada.
Returns may be filed either at the
main office in the custom house at
San Francisco, or at the branch Of
fees at Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno
and Reno.
Immediately after March 1st 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 a
heavy fine and Imprisonment, within
the discretion of the court, for non
compliance with the law
Collector Scott states that every
opportunity will be given for volun-
tary filing. His offices will be kept
open at night for certain part Of
the filing period, in order that indi-
viduals and corporations may be ac-
commodated. but no excuse will be
accepted for failure to comply with
the law in the case of those persons
having sufficient income to make
them liable. The internal revenue
Office has been advised as to great
many of those persons throughout
the district. 1t having on file numer-
Gus reports from investigators who
have been at work gathering infor-
nation during the past year. This
information has been obtained from
every conceivable source and the in
comes of a great number who have
not heretofore obeyed the law have
been practically ascertained. There
will be a cleanup" in respect to
these individuals If they fail to file
ON or before March 1st this year.
It would take great deal of space
to explain the changes made in the
income tax statute by the revenue act
of September 8, 1916 Information
regarding these changes will be given
promptly upon application in writing
or in person to the Internal Revenue
Office in San Francisco or at any one
of the branches mentioned. Lack of
information will not be accepted as
an excuse if any person with sufi-
cient income to make him or her LA
BILE is found after March 1st not 70
have complied with the law.
In the past considerable leniency
has been shown, but the income tax
law having been in effect three years
it is felt that the time for leniency
has passed, as the opportunity has
been offered for all to inform them
selves.

Writing paper, tobacco, knives

the kits and the Red Cross is pre-
