State TO GET ABOUT
S40O.0OO fC0NE TAX
State Treasurer Swain Fig
ureS Revenue Will Reach
That Sum
SCHOOLS AND ROADS
TO BENEFIT BY 1T

special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, May THAT Delaware's s
State Treasury will be enriched by
nearly 100000 as a result Of the new
income tax law passed at the session Of
the General Assembly. in 1911 Is ind-
Gated by the figures that have already
been complied at State Treasurer
SWANS office, and the work is not yet
completed The returns were filed with
the State Treasurer prior TO March !,
and since that time the Office force has
been kept busy figuring out the amount
due the state from each taxable and
adding up the totals
The new income tax law exempts
proceeds Of agricultural occupations
from its provisions, but had farmers
been included in the list OF taxables the
total revenue would have easily reached
the half million mark
Some incomes barely exceed the $1,000
exemption, and will be taxed but few
cents, while sthers will reach well up
into the thousands. The average tax
paid, however, will range between Si5
and S25.
If the total amount Of revenue de-
rived by tho State this year from the
income tax reaches 100000 the newly
created State Highway Department will
receive Si50000. The largest portion Of
the revenue will be used for the benefit
Of the public schools Of the Stale, the
majority OF which stand greatly in need
of financial assistance at this time. The
law provides that S25O0OO shall be de-
voted TO the schools, and the remainder
shall go TO the Highway Department.
The State Treasurer is now sending
out bills for the income tax due the
State. The Income Tax law provides !
that all taxables must be notified Of |
the amount they are assessed, not later |
than June 1, Of each year. and the |
amount due shall be paid to the State
Treasurer not later than June s.. OF /
all income taxs due and unpaid after
he 18th Of Junen, per centum will be
added, and interest at the rate Of 1 per
centum per month for the time it re-
mains unpaid.
While the state Treasurers ofIlce
would not Of course, give out the
names OF the largest taxpayers under
the Income Tax Law, yet it is under
stood that Delaware's millionaires are
required to pay considerable sums.

Patriotic to Eat coconuts.

Is coconut pie an essential? the Wall
Street Journal wants to know. No,
but gas masks are. 1t is far cry
from coconut pie to gas masks, but
we are enabled to indulge our appe-
ites in the one and supply the other
through Il single operation.
Gas masks contain certain brand
of charcoal which is an absorbent of
poison gas, and it has been found that
the rind of coconuts, when burned, pro-
duces a charcoal superior to all others.
For this reason the government has
placed the humble coconut on the list
of essential products and our friends
on the island of Porto Rico are urged
to ship as many as they can.
When eating a piece of coconut pie
or any other delicacy containing coco
nut you are enabled to do so with an
easy conscience. The charcoal made
from the shell of the coconut you eat
may be saving the life of an American
soldier somewhere in France"

To "cheechako," which, in the YER

vidual who, in the days of the storied
West, would have been called ''ten-
derfoot," falls the distinction of intro
ducing trapping de luxe into the

Harry Beagle, not long from the

ting out on a trapping expedition in an
automobile instead of by dog team.
Frank Burgess went with him. Load
ing their outfit into a light car, the
pair set out for the Big Delta country,
despite snow and almost impossible
roads.
SO far as is known at Fairbanks, the
idea has proved a success.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION MOTT

The following regulations govern
ing the sale of flour with substitutes
became effective Septembr l:
Dealers may handle the followi-
Victory Mixed Flours" which must
be labeled with the ingredients in
their true proportion:
Wheat and Barley Proportion: a
parts wheat, / part barley.
Wheat and Corn Flour proper
ton: A parts wheat, part corn. flour
Wheat, Barley and Corn Flour =
Proportion: 8 parts wheat, / part
barley, 1 part corn flour
Wheat and Rye Proportion: 3
parts wheat, parts rye.
Where straight wheat flour is sold
by the dealer, the proportion of sub
stitute which must be sold with the
flour is the same as that indicated in
the "Victory Mixed Flours."
Whole Whcat or Graham flour may
be sold without substitute, b It it
must contain at least 95 per cent of
the wheat berry.
Retail dealers selling standard
wheat flour are required to carry in
stock either barley flour, corn meal
or corn flour and with every sale of
wheat flour must sell some one or
more of these in proportion of one
pound substitutes to each four pounds
of wheat flour. At the option of the
consumer h. may take as substitutes,
If in stock, kaffir flour, milo lour
rice flour, oat flour, peanut flour
bean flour, potato flour, SWEET pota-
to -four, buckwheat flour, feterita
flour or feterita meal.
The rule limiting millers, whole.
salers, retailers and bakers to thirty
days supply of flour is changed to
permit sixty days supply
The rule limiting sales to one
eighth barrel i'm cities and one fourth
barrel in rural districts is rescin0ed,
but until further notice, sales are
limited to thirty days supply for in
dividual families.
1t is desired to emphasize the fact
that the mixtures outlined above
are for wheat bread and the saving
of wheat flour, but they are not in
tended to displace the large use Of
corn bread. People are urged to con-
tinue the normal consumption Of corn
bread to which we have become ac-
customedI and thus lessen the use Of
the wheat flour mixtures.
