BATTLE NOW SEEMS TO BE
IN ITS CRITICAL STAGE

Moving with steadinegs in spite of
their fearful losses, the Germans in
their plunge on the line from Noyon
10 Montdidicr continue to gain here
and there along the center Ol the line
where their greatest effort has been
exerted. The greatest advance made
BY tho enemy has been at VignemOnt,
six miles from the line as 1t stood last
Saturday. The French have launched
eounterattaCks on the left OF their
line which may be an indication that
they have reached the front where
ihey viii make their final stand. This
line seems to be along the Arondc
EYer, which roughly parallels the line
Of the advance. This portion of the
oattlelinc, however. is apparently not
Tue most mCnRCing to the French.
Further east of that point the Ger.
mans seem to be making their most
telling gains. Here, along the right
oank OF the Oise. they have reached
Cantoval, village lying at the crest
Of the hills above the important town
oil RlbecOurt. The French admit that
their line of resistance to the west
and south Of Ribccourt is TO be with
drawn as a consequence of the Hun
gains at this point. The battle in the
new area may now be considered as
having definitely entered the critical
stage. 1t seems that the fact is Ger
tain that the present German opera
lions constitute very serious blow at
the allied lines from the Oisc to the
Marine as well MS threatening the lev
el country behind tho present battle
lines.

French offered effective resistance
on the left, capturing the village OF

is being directed at the center OF the
allied line. The enemy, attacking
heavily, succeeded in driving the
French bac kas TAR as the region OF

Germans back all along this front and

INCOME TAX MEETING.

On Monday evening at the district
court room Mr.. Sechrist, representa-
tive of the Income Tax Collector at
Denver, called a meeting to discuss
income taxes, how to make reports
to the Government, and what deduc-
tions tax payers are entitled to under
the several income tax laws: Al
though it was unfortunate that more
notice was not given of this meet
ing, the district court room was we'll
filled with business men of Gunnison,
with sprinkling of ranchmen.
Mr.. Sechrist, who seems to be we'll
Informed on the subject of income
taxes and who has been a represen-
tative of the Tax Collector in this
district for a number of years, first
gave an outline of the different laws
relative to the collection of income
axes and the necessity at this time
If all citizens subject to the rule
paying their just tax and paying it
promptly, so that the Government
could have the use of these funds.
He stated that wherever he had been
he had heard no criticism whatever
Of the income tax and all that people
seemed to want to know was how to
arrive at the proper amount to be
due by them to the Government un-
der said law. He stated that wher.
ever he had been, he found that the
people were supporting the Govern
ment, were contributing literally to
he Red Cross, to the various sub
scriptions, to Liberty Loans, thrift
stamps, etc, and that the people of
Gunnison he found were no excep-
ton to the general rule in the mat
ter of contributions.
Mr.. Sechrist first explained as t.
which blank should be used by in
come tax payers in making their re-
port. 1t seems that there are two
general blanks, what is known as
Form 1O40, and Form 1O4OA. The
arger form. 1O4O, is intended for
persons whose total net income ex-
ceeds $1,000, providing that it does
not exceed the personal exemption.
NiEtI 10, SIIucI @S,ouO VI ol,UOO, Jne
former if you are the head of fam
lily and the latter if you are single, by
more than $4,000, and also that it
does exceed $1,000. He then pro-
ceeded to state the general principals
affecting the payment of income
taxes, which are now familiar to
most of the general public who are
affected by this law and its amend
ments.
In the first place, all parties must
make return whose net income for
1917 equals or exceeds $4,000, If mar
ried, or $1,000 if not married. In
computing your net income you must
add the income of your wife and de-
pendent children, if any. and if this
equals or exceeds $1,000, as above
stated, then a report must be made
Income of dependent children must
be included in the report of father
or mother, unless derived from a sep
arate estate controlled by guardian
trustee, etc, in which case such
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-02-14

guardian or trustee makes the report.
He went quite fully into the question
of exemptions. 1t seems if you arc
married and live with your wife, or
are the head of family, you are en-
titled to a personal exemption OF
$4,000, and also 5000 for each de-
pendent child under eighteen years
of age. If you are unmarried or do
not live with your wife and are not
the head of family, you are entitled
to a personal exemption Of only
$1,000. He also explained what the
head of family is; that is. person
who in accordance with some moral
or legal obligation actually supports
and maintains one or more individu-
ais closely related to him. In certain
cases an agent can make the report
for the income tax payer, but the
Government is very strict about re-
quiring the report to be made and
returned before the first Of March,
and an extension of the time can
only be granted by the head Office at
Denver, Colorado. The return, when
properly made out and sworn to.
must be mailed to Mark A. Skinner,
Internal Revenue Collector at Dem
yer, Colorado, before March 1st, as
above stated. While it is desired
that the amount of the income tax
be returned with the report, this is
not necessary and the amount found
due can be paid at any time on or
before June 18th, 1918. There are,
IF course, numerous penalties for
failing to make the report and also
for failing to make the report on
lime. and especially for making false
reports.
After taking up the general rules
governing income taxes, Mr.. Sechrist
answered all questions put to him
relative to special cases and excep-
lions to the general rules heretofore
outlined. These questions and an
'wers covered all kinds of business
and all kinds of situations, and we
have not room here to detail the nu-
merous phases of the income tax
avs passed on by Mr.. Sechrist, but
he will be more than glad to take up
any of these questions with indi-
viduals while he is in Gunnison. He,
with number of assistants, is on
duty at the court room, assisting all
those who desire information rel
ative to making reports.
We like the attitude of Mr.. Sc
christ in trying to help the general
public obey the law and pay the
amount of taxes which may be due,
and we believe that those that have
to pay these taxes will appreciate
the courtesy shown by this officer.
