new INCOME TAX LAW
INFORMATION AT THE SOURCE
ASKED BY JAN. 1.
New Measure Provides Tax on Single
Persons Receiving over $1,000 and
Married Persons Getting over $4,000.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-In the new revenue meas.
ure recently passed by Congress
amending the income tax law, there
is incorporated a provision which is
of special interest to individuals,
partnerships and corporations, max
ing fixed annual payments of salaries,
interest, or rent of $500 or more to
another person, partnership, or cor
poration. This is known as "Informa-
ton at the source" and the law re-
quires such person, OF corporation, to
render true and accurate return OF
all such payments, and provides Sc
we're penalties for failure to make such
return.
This information is required for the
calendar year 1917 and subsequent
years.
Mark A. Skinner, collector of in
ternal revenue, Denver, urges that
these lists be sent in as early as
possible in January, in order that his
office may have an authentic list OF
persons to whom information and
blanks may be sent for returns under
these lists the employers will be rem
dering a service to their employees by
enabling the collector to furnish infor-
nation and blanks to persons liable
to the tax, but ignorant of the provi-
sions of the law, and thus save them
from the penalties imposed for failure
to make return on or before March 1st.
This work cannot be accomplished
within the limited period unless the
information returns are filed imme-
diately after the first of the year,
says Mr.. Skinner, and in the present
critical period when our country
needs money so urgently, it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to CO.
operate with the government officials
in furnishing these lists at the earl
lest possible moment.
Any person coming under the pro-
vision of this law requiring informa-
ton returns should apply to the col
lector of internal revenue for proper
blanks and the same will be for
warded as soon as the blanks are re-
ceived from Washington.
The new law requires an income
tax return from a single person hav-
ing net income in excess of $1,000,
or married person having net in
come in excess of $4,000. The law no
longer requires Withholding of the tax
at the source, except in the case of
bonds guaranteed free of tax; and in
the case of nonresident alien individ-
uals, and corporations, not having an
office in this country.

Larimer Beet Men Get s1,ses 900.

Fort Collins.-On Wednesday the
Golfers of the Great Western Sugar
Company were opened and millions of
dollars rolled out to the beetgrowers
where the company has factories.
Larimer county took close to $4,000
900 for its share in payment for beets
delivered in October. The beet crop
in this county was delivered in live
ly manner, and rs per cent of the crop
is in the company hands. Two fac
tories sent out about $1,S65,000. OF
this amount $1,O04,632.S6 went to the
growers in the Fort Collins district,
and the balance to the Loveland dis
trict. The, Fort Collins beetgrowers
have delivered $4,000 tons, and the
average is $40 per ton. The sugar
content was good and the tonnage
large this season, and the farmers are

Woman Gets s2,4oo For Her Son.

Denver.-The state auditing Board

ton for the death of her son, Charles
Hartog, in 1914, while he was cor
poral in the Colorado National guard
on duty during the strike troubles in
Southern Colorado. This is the first
money to be given from the fund of
$4,000 set aside by the last Legisla-
ture for the purpose of compensating

Keep up Sugar Beet Acreage.

In it's consideration of the problems
of crop production that are of special
Importance during the war emergency,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture calls the attention of farm
ers in the sugar-beet producing dis
tricts to the Importance OF maintain
ing the acreage of that crop next year.
While the soil and climatic conditions
of the country are suitable for much
greater production of beet sugar than
is now made, the production for next
year is necessarily limited by the
available seed supply and to the rel
atively small areas where beet-suga
mills now exist.

Rio Janeiro.-Brazils views of the
only manner in which durable peace
may be obtained are set forth in the
governments reply to the peace pro-
posal made last August by Pope Bene-
dict, which has been forwarded by
Foreign Minister Pecanha. The reply
says it is necessary that all nations,
great and small, shall have a place in
the sun, equal rights and unrestricted
opportunities to exchange ideas and
commodities upon the broad basis OF
justice and equity.
Brazil never would have entered
the war, the note says, If Germany
had not disturbed America with her
ways and deeds of violence, causing
Brazil to become a belligerent for the
defense of her flag and fundamental
rights. All the republics of the New
World, the foreign minister says, now
are in union of sentiment on the is
sue thus raised.
The reply says Brazil recognizes
the generosity of the pope's appeal Tor
arbitration and disarmament.

What? War Has No

And strange to say, dealers report
that the war has had no effect on the

But the delight Of the Riddles will

be decorated as gayly as in the past
unless one has Christmas decorations
left over from years before.
Merchants say that never before
have they faced the holiday season
with such limited stock Of Christmas
tree decorations.
And as a result Christmas trees in
many homes. will not be decorated as
they were in days bygone. The strings
of popcorn, plain white, and dipped IN
molasses will take the place Of the
bright gold tinsel rope.
And after all the kiddies will be
