INCOME TAX OFFICER
HERE FEBRUARY lST

It will require a small army of men
to take the income tax returns of
persons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue Josh
ua W. Miles has announced that so
officers were started from his head
quarters on January 1st and on jan
uary End every one of them will be
on the job in the county assigned
him. to meet the people and help them
make out their income tax returns
The officer assigned to this county is
due to arrive here on February 1st
and will remain for five days.
1T Will be well for every unmarried
person whose net income for 1917 is
81 900 or over. and every married
person living with wife or husband
whose net income for 1917 is $1,000
or over, to call on the income tax
man and learn whether or not they
have any tax to pay" Collector Miles
said recently. THE person subject
to tax who doesn't make the return
in the time specified will regret it. as
the government will certainly get af-
ter all the income tax slackers. I
feel constrained to say this strictly
in the interest Of persons of every
class liable to the tax.
There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man, who
won't have to make return of income.
Farmers, as a class. will have to pay
the tax. The safe thing to do is for
every person who had a total income
of $1,000 or $1,000. as the case may
be, and who is not sure about what
deductions the law allows him, to
play it safe by calling on the income
tax man.
THE man in the field will have the
forms for everybody and persons who
expect to call on him need not trou-
bic themselves to write my Office for
forms.

ouire a War Savings Stamp in Janu-
airy. 1918, you hand over your Thrift
Card and pay twelve cents additional.
In February. 1918, you will have to
nav thirteen cents additional, and so
on an increase of one per cent per
month. This difference and increase
representes the interest earned and is
paid back at maturity. They mature
January /, 1928 when the government
will pay $500 for such War Savings
Stamps.
With the purchase of the first War
Savings Stamp you are furnished
War Savings Certificate. This GER
tifcate has spaces for 20 War Saw
ings Stamps. You paste these
stamps on your certificate which,
when filled. will represent 500 cash
value on January l, 1928.
If the twenty spaces on a War Saw
ings certificate are filled during jan
uary, 1918, the cost to the purchaser
will be 81. u for each stamp, or twen-
ty times 81 u, that is SS2. 40, for the
full certificate. On the first day of
January, 1923, the government will
redeem such certificate at 500. This
means that the holder gets net pro-
fit of SIT 60 for the use Of his money.
Should you unexpectedly need cash
money, you can get it by surrender
ing your War Savings Certificates,
either filled or partially filled. The
will pay you back what
you paid for it plus the interest in
crease Of one cent per month for each
War Savings Stamp on the certificate.
A table of the cash surrender value
is printed on the back Of the War
Certificate. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that this privilege will only be
in cases Of necessity.
The stamps and certificates can be
from Post Offices, banks or
trust companies. most railroad sta
tions, stores. factories, within your
own clubs, societies and organizations
and at many other public places duly

Specific provisions are also made
for other designated injuries:
(O If the employee should die as
the result Of injury. compensation is
paid to his dependents in varying
amounts, according to the number
and relationship of the dependents
These amounts vary from fifteen per
centum to sixty percentum of wages,
not exceeding ten dollars per week
for a period of two hundred and sew
enty weeks, except that the compen-
sation to an orphan or abandoned
child, tOhugh very small in amount,
may possibly continue until the child
reaches the age of sixteen years.
The Act covers only personal injur-
les arising out of and in the course of
employment. Injuries due to intoxi-
cation or reckless indifference to
danger, or an intent on the part of the
employee to injure himself or anoth-
er, or in case of his refusal to use a
reasonable safey appliance provided
for him. are not compensated, and the
employee has no right of action at
law. The act does not include dis
eases or infections except when the
same may result from an injury when
treated.
Compensation claims may be set
tied by agreement of the parties but
all such agreements must be APPROX
ed by the Industrial Accident Board
If the parties cannot agree on the cor
rect amount of compensation. the
Board goes into a hearing and deter
mines the issues and either party may
take an appeal to the Superior Court
within ten days after the award by the
Board
The compensation is not payable in
a lump sum, but is payable to the en-
ployee or his dependents in periodical
the same as wages are
paid
Every employer electing to accept
the compensatory provisions Of the
act is required to insure the payment
of compensation to his employees or
their dependents within sixty days
after the act goes into effect, unless
he can satisfy the board of his abil-
ity to carry his own insurance. Fail
ure of the employer to take out in
subjects him to a fine OF ten
cents per day for each employee. not
exceeding fifty dollars for each day.

visions of the act but are the most
important to be considered at this
time.

had so nobly stood by her. But Rus
STA under the Bolsheviki seemed not
to know the meaning OF gratitude
What became of Russia's allies, what
became of Russia herself, they seem
ed to care nothing If they could save
their own lives. II seemed case OF
towards and traitors being numerous
enough to get the upper hand and
sacrifice their own country to their
own supposed safety.
One explanation Of the Russian
mystery has been made, truly or
falsely: that Lcninc, Trotzky and
other leaders OF the Bolsheviki have
been from the first the paid agents
of Germany. II the charge were
true they could not have acted more
in Cermany's interests than they did.
Since Nov. Fl the Bolsheviki have
been in complete control Of what lit
tie government there is in Russia. On
Nov. 30 they sent wireless peace
message to Vienna. In December
they arranged an armisticc with Ger
many which permitted the Kaiser
to withdraw great bodies of his
troops from Russia and send them to
fight in France and Italy. The Boil
shcviki leaders then opened negotia-
tons with the countries in whose in
tcrest they had betrayed Russia and
Russia's allies.
At the end Of the year these nego-
tiations were halted by Ccrmany's
demands, which, II began to be per-
.ccived, meant the end of Russia as a
great nation. Germany would not
take her troops out Of Russia, would
not give up her grip on Poland and
other western parts Of the country,
and would not bind herself to any
thing at all unless her proposals were
accepted not only by Russia but all
the Allies. The year closed with the
outlook for peace very dark.
The German proposals had not
been made officially to the Allies !;
nevertheless Great Britain gave out
that any proposals that seemed sim
ccre would receive sober consider
alton.
Destruction Wrought By U.Boats
Since Feb. l, destruction of mer-
chant ships by German underwater
boats has gone on at distressing
rate. Naturally Great Britain, having
much the largest merchant marine,
has been the heaviest loser, but
French. Italian, American and neutral
vessels have been sunk in large NUM-
bers. Altogether the destruction
from this cause in eleven months is
estimated at 100000 tons Of ship
ping. equal to 1000 vessels of 5000
tons average size. Many vessels OF
the American Navy. mainly of the
type. have joined with the

British and French navics to destroy
or check this pest. Though serious
to the Allies, the submarine warfare
has been a disappointment to Ger
many. The expectation on Feb. ]
was that il would end the war in Ger
many's favor in three months. Now
at the end of eleven months there is
no prospect that it will end the war
at all, for Great Britain is now build
ing ships as fast as German submar-
ines have been able to sink them
and Our own country's great ship
building program has not yet begun
to turn out vessels. Great Britain
is suffering financially from this sort
OF war, but 1t is expected in that
country that at the end OF the war
Germany will have to pay for every
ship and cargo her U-boats have
sunk contrary to international law
as well as to pay an indemnity for
every life taken in violation Of the
civiliztd rules of war.
