WARWICK OVERRULES
IN MEDICAL CORPS CASE
War Department Auditor Had De-
cided Against Compensation
Allowance.

Although the Medical Reserve Corps
of the Army was supposed to expire by
legislative limitation June 8, 1917, it
continued in actual existence after
that time. The fact involves the ques-
ton of the compensation of many men
who were members of the Medical Re
serve Corps and gave service after
that date
They will retain pay received for such
service. The controller of the Treas
ury. w. W. Warwick, finds in their
favor, overriding the auditor for the
War Department
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Medical Reserve Corps as constituted
by the law of April %, 1908, ceased to
exist on June 3, 1917. there now exists
and has existed from and after June 3,

Wick.
He also calls attention to a provision
of Congress that pay and allowances

ceived in good faith by any military
or naval officer for services actually
performed during the civil war shall
not be charged to or recovered back
because Of any defect in title of such
officer to the office. rank or grade in
which such services were so actually
performed.
This was recognition of equitable
principles on the part of Con gress,"
observes Controller Warwick and a
direction to apply them to cases where
a person had rendered military serv-
ice under a defective title as an officer
of the United States. and the United
States mad received the benefit of such
service and payment therefor had
been made. In all such cases it was
deemed just and equitable that the
officer should retain the compensation
which he had received and which prob
ably would not be more than adequate
to indemnify him for his loss of time
and the expense he actually incurred"

FOUR-M|NUTE MEN
SPUR INCOME TAXED
Campaign Opened to Convince
Skeptics This Is Not
Rich Mans War.

Four-minute men--public speakers
who played such an active part in the
last liberty loan campaign-went to
work today in theaters and other pub
lie meeting places of virtually every
city to stimulate the prompt filing OF
income tax returns and convince skep-
tics that this is not a war of special
benefit to the rich man. The campaign
will last two weeks.
Before April l every unmarried per-
son making 81 900 or more last year.
and every married man making S2,ooo
or more, must file a return with the
revenue collector of his district-thls
is the message the four-minute men
were instructed to carry to their audi
ences in brief. snappy speeches.
Rules for Guidance.
You will help the government in
this hour of need by prompt action,
said a pamphlet of guidance sent TO
each speaker by the committee on pup
lie information, whose division OF FOUR
minute men is directing the campaign
for the internal revenue bureau. DO
not wait until the last minute; get
-vour blanks just as soon as possible
@s9@ file your returns. Every dollar
ypu have received during the year is
income, whether you got it for wages
or extra jobs. or rents or interest OF
profit of any kind. Your living eS-
penses cannot be deducted from this
income.
while payments may be made as
late as June IS, there is a discount OF
per cent for payment when the re
turn is filed, and you will especially
serve your country by attaching to your
return a check or money order for your
tax. Blank forms may be had from
any revenue officer or by asking any
bank, and each person must get or
write for the blanks himself.
There are heavy fines for neglect
The government has many ways of find
ing out who makes $1,000 or $1,000 a
year So if you yourself are honest, do not
worry about the tax dodger getting the
best of honest folk; he will worry after
AprIl l.

Mitepayers and Capitalists"

who has q claim on bit of the world 5
stored-up wealth. The unmarried man
and woman earning $1,000 d year is by
no means poor. An income of $1,000
is considerably above the average"
Speakers have been instructed to cite
the drop of stock and bond market
values when the United States entered
the war as one proof that capitalisuc
classes did not anticipate making
money out Of the nations battles. Re
ports that this is a capitalists war have
been circulated by German sympathiz-
ers, says the speakers guide. 1t adds:
we must bring proof to those who
have been deluded, showing them how
they have been deluded and by whom.
The rich are paying an enormous in
surance rate They are losing money on
the war. losing gigantic sums most will
