congress has as much right to con-
script just portion of income as il
I has to conscript our boys. The tax
for 1917 is designed to reach moder-
ate as well as large incomes, so that
all persons who are in financial posi-
ton to bear portion of the heavy
government expenses can be assessed
IN proportion to their ability to pay.
THE man who is barely making a
living or barely supporting a family
Is not affected by the 1917 law. But
the man who is able to bear a share
of the burden has been reached by
the new law, and he should accept his
responsibility in the same patriotic
spirit that our young men have shown
In offering themselves for this great
purpose of the country to make the
world safe for people of all kinds to
live in and to govern themselves"
This tax is one which recognizes
women as on an equal basis with men.
The unmarried woman or the married
woman with salary must make tax
return just the same as any man. Only
the woman supporting her mother or
other members of her family may take
out $1,000 exemption.
Under the law the head of the fami-
ly is the one whose earning power con-
tributes to the family's support.
Similarly a widow with small chill
dren to support can take out $1,000
exemption and 5000 additional exemp-
tion for each of her children under
eighteen. Thus it is intended that
the law shall work no hardship to wo-
men having to struggle to get along.
But each must file return If her in
come is $1,000.

left with small children to support

COMPANY ENGINEER ON
PINE CREEK PREPARE
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION

Preparation for the construction
of the Pine creek branch of the
O.-W, r. & N. is progressing very
satisfactorily, and already there
are evidences of returning life and
mining activity in all parts of that
rich section. The latest move in
the direction of railroad construc-
ton is the arrival of an engineer
and four or five assistants last
Monday. Tuesday the engineer
was engaged in running the line
from. the junction up the creek
about two and half miles, This
section covers the washed out
track. He will restore the damage
done to the survey by the washout
and continue the survey through to
the Constitution mine, to which the
road will be built this summer. The
engineer will make his permanent
headquarters at Beeler.
1t was announced week or more
ago by President Farrell that
contract for the construction of the
road would be let at once, and the
appearance of this engineer and
his party indicates that the con-
tract has been awarded or will be
within the next few days.
