IDAHO CITIZENS SHOULD
INVSET IN LIBERTY BONDS

Boise, Oct l0.--Idaho must invest
$1,000 ,OO0 In liberty bonds. Tho ex-
ecutive committee OF the twelfth dis
trict has fixed this as the minimum
for the state. The maximum is $t3.-
100000. In order 70 have the rtate

up to the expectations of the eNec-
utiye committee of the twelfth dis
trict. Idaho must buy bonds 10 the
amount of $1O.00O,000.
The government must have s3.
00O, 900, 900 and TO get this mini
mum amount Idaho must subscribs >
s7,9OO,OO0, but this figure should
by no means be the maximum. Chair
man Davis says that $4,000. 900 must
be taken as the states minimum and
that the full 100000 that the
western division headquarters expect
should be subscribed.
The government cannot get along
with less than $4,000. 600. 600 and IL
is asking subscriptions up to So
900, 100000. In order TO meet the
demands of the government II In i'm
perative that Idaho buy bonds up 20

DECLARES MORMONs ARE
LOYAL TO UNITED STATES

Last Sunday morning at the con-
ference of the L. D. s. church in Salt
Lake, Apostle George Albert Smith
took particular pains to call to the
attention of his audience the attitude
of the organization as church
toward the government of the United
States, so far as its participation in
the war is concerned. when he said
that every member. of the church in
good standing sustained the nation
and the government at this and All
times. He said in part:
I'm the midst of the great worl1
war that exists today, while there
are transgressors of the law of the
land, while there are transgressors
of the laws of God, 1t is joy and
satisfaction to me to know in my soul
that while there are those that are
opposing this free government. there
are not any OF those belonging to this
church in good standing but what are
sustaining the laws OF the United
States. There is one church that is
given to understand that this gov
ernment is God-given. that this gov
eminent has been raised by the Al
mighty. There is one church which
viii not tear down the constituted
authorities with reference to going
forth into the war. Why? Because we
have been taught by inspired men
and by the word Of the Lord, and al
Israel to a man has come forth and
has said. II am needed. here am !.
God help US to sustain the govern
ment that has been 50 good for US
ara has made it possible for the es-
eablfshment OF this work. Let n
sustain good men and great men ey
erywhere, as we are told to do II
these revelations given in these las
days. and By and by 1t will be SAID
that this world IL better for our hav
ing lived in 1t.

MONTPELIER POsToFFICE Is
NOW ACCOUNTING OFFICE

The postoffice department recently
made an order establishing what are
termed district and central account
ing postoffices. A central postoffice
is named for each county. and from
this office all of the other postoffices
in the county will hereafter obtain
their supplies, such as stamps, stamp
ed envelopes. postal cards. paper
wrappers, etc.
The Montpelier postoffice has been
designated as the central accounting
office for Bear Lake county and will
keep on hand supplies for the other
post offices in this county. This Will
enable the postmasters in the smaller
towns to get their supplies on short
notice. 1t also means a great deal
of extra work for postmaster Robson
as he will be required to make a
quarterly report of the supplies fur
nished to each office in the county
to the district accounting office.

new REVENUE LAW
CATCHES EVERYBODY
Under Its Provisions Practically Every Person in
the United States Becomes Federal Tax
PaYer--Gets You Coming and Going.

been prepared with the assistance of
Washington leading tax experts:
The Income Tax
WHO MUST PAY? Every unmar-
ried man, woman or child with a net
income from wages, profits, interest,
rent or any other source exceeding
81 900 for the calendar year 1917,
and every married person with n net
income exceeding $4,000.
Returns must be made under oath
on or before March 1. 1918, by every
person with an income exceeding the
amounts named above, even il there
is no tax due under the penalty uf
$40 to $1,000 for failure.
HOW TO CALCULATE NET IN
COME. Net income, upon which the
tax is levied, is calculated by taking
the total amount OF money received
by the individual during the year
from all sources and deducting from
that amount the following items:
Necessary expenses actually paid
in carrying on any business or trade,
but not including personal, living or
| family expenses;
aAlI interest paid within the year
on Indebtedness. except interest on
loans made for the purchase of tax
exempt securities;
All taxes local, state and federal,
except income and war profits taxes;
Losses actually sustained during
the year in. business or trade or from
fires. storm, theft ETC..
Debts ascertained to be worthless
and actually charged off;
Reasonable allowance for wear
and tear of property employ ID in bus
/ mess;
Contributions for religious. cbarit-
able, scientific or educational pur-
poses to an amount not in excess If
lbs per cent of the net income with
out the benefit of this paragraph.
| EXEMPTIONS. Unmarried per-
sons have 81 600 exempt from in
come tax; married persons have S2,-
/ exempt and in addition $500 exempt
| for each dependent child under IS
years of age.
| TAX RATES. The taxes levied
upon incomes are a composite result
OF four separate sets of taxes. the
| normal" tax rates In the old reve-
nue. bill and the new, and the super
| tax" rates in the old bill and the new.
For example, under the old law there
| was normal tax of 2 per cent on all
| incomes of unmarried persons over
$4,000, the new bill adds a new nor
NAL tax OF 2 per cent and lowers the
exemption to $1,000; under the old
bill supertaxes started with $40 900
and these supertaxes will stand, but
there have been added new super
taxes beginning with $4,000. Tue
result is very confusing.
In order to bring all tho existing
rates into simple form, / have com
bined them in a single table which

Below we publish brief synopsis
OF the new war revenue bill, as pre-
pared by Basil M. Manly, special
Washington correspondent for the
Boise Capital News:
With the passage of the war rev.
man and child, becomes federal
tax payer.
You cannot buy any article that
has been freighted by rail or water,
you cannot ride on a train, send
telegram, visit theatre or ball park,
buy bottle of patent medicine, a
baseball bat or any other kind of
sporting goods, a tube of tooth paste
or any other toilet article, own an
automobile, a motorcycle or a motor
boat. draw time draft. buy a bond
or share Of stock, or send in proxy
for an election, without paying trib-
ute to your Uncle Samuel.
Moreover, through the income and
excess profits taxes, not leses than
100000 Americans, who have new
or known what 1t is to take money
out of their pockets and pay it over
directly to Uncle Sans collectors
.will now have to learn to make out
their tax returns and master all the
intricacies Of calculating gross and
net income, capital invested, depre-
citation and exemptions.
The income tax now reaches
down and takes it's levy from every
married man or woman with an in
come over $4,000, and every un-
married man or woman with an in
come over $1,000. and the war prof
its tax reaches every corporation
with net income over $4,000 and
every partnership and individual op-
Grating a business which yields more
than $4,000 net income during this
year.
Everyone OF these five million mex
tax payers ought to learn as soon ~
possible how to figure their taxes 80
that they can now plan for the re
adjustments in their business aud
personal affairs which these rala
lively heavy federal taxes will neces-
state.

these calculations without calling In
a lawyer or wading through the in
tricacies of the 13O-page revenue
bill, the following simple analysis oi
