Income Tax Statistics

If your income is taxable-and it
must be a modest one to escane
taxation under the War Revenue Act
OF October 3, 1917-don't wait to be
notified that you must pay an in
come tax. The government is not
required to seek the taxpayer. The
taxpayer must seek the government
The Bureau of Internal Revenue.
with the approval of the secretary of
the treasury, has extended the time
Tor flllng an excess profits returns
from March to April 1, 1918. You
may file your return any time before
April l, but if you wait until April
z, you are subject to a fine of not
less than $40 nor more than 81 900
and an additional assessment of so
per cent of the amount of tax due.
Returns are required of every I'M
married person-man or woman
whose net income for the calendar
year 1917 was 81 900 or more and of
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more.
The rate of tax is at least 2 per
cent on net incomes of unmarried
persons in excess of 81 900 and on
net incomes of married persons in
excess of $4,000. Payment must be
made on or before June IS, 1918.
The estimated revenue to be col
fected this year under the War Rev
enue Act is $2,5OO,OOO 900, of which
$666,000,000 is in individual income
taxes. Last year 100000 persons
paid income taxes; this year it is
estimated the number will be more
than 100000. If you are one of
them, remember that your dollars
are for the support of the war. By
promptly filing your return and
promptly paying your tax you are
helping the government to early vic
tory. Pay your income tax in the
same spirit in which you bought
your Liberty bond. The proceeds are
for the same purpose-to make the
world safe for democracy.

A Million Insured

At the close of Wednesday, Feb
ruary 10, over 1,000,0 900 soldiers and
sailors and army and navy nurses
had applied for government insur-
ance under the soldier and sailor in
surance law. The amount of insur-
ance applied for is more than S.
000, 100000. The maximum permitted
to any person is $4,000, and the
average applied for is 1922 There
are many applications mailed from
distant points which have not vet
reached the treasury department. The
above figures are only of applica-
tons that have been actually received
and granted.
The amount of government insur-
ance in force is more than three
times as much as the total ordinary
life insurance in force with any life
insurance company in the world
The splendid result which gives to
more than million of the soldiers
and sailors of our country the bene-
fits of this insurance, which Secre-
tary McAdoo has justly described as
the most just and humane provision
ever made by any government for it's
fighting men, is due to the quick
appreciation by the beneficiaries of
the value of the insurance and the in
valuable aid periodically given to the
War-Risk Insurance Bureau of the
Treasury by the press of the coun-
try, the officers of the army and
navy, and many of the individual
soldiers and sailors, to which must
be added the earnest and efficient
work of officers and agents of the
insurance companies, fraternal bene-
tlclary associations, and many pa
trlotic organizations.
The campaign, which has for it's
purpose the insurance of each and
every person entitled to insurance
under the law, will be continued. The
time within which insurance NAV be
applied for has been extended by Q
general resolution of congress, an
proved by the president, until April
IL, 1918.
The automatic insurance, however.
which automatically gave insurance to
all entitled to receive it until Feb
ruary IL, although no application
as made, has expired. Hereafter only
those who have applied for and re-
ceived policies will receive insurance.

VICTORY PASTRY
MUST BE SERVED

Hereafter, by rule, of the United
States food administration taking eff
feet at once, announces Federal Food
Administrator r. +. Bicknell, all no.
tells, restaurants, dining cars, steam
ships, boarding houses and other
public eating houses including clubs,
in Idaho, which use three barrels
of flour a month in baking must
serve Victory pies, pastry, cookies,
griddle cakes, waffles, ETC., as well
as Victory bread.
Up to February Is they have been
compelled to mix 20 per cent wheat
four substitutes in all of their breads
and rolls, but have been left free to
use the required percentages of sub
stitutes for other products at such
times and meals as they chose.
After this all their sweet yeast
dough products, cookies, cakes, pies,
doughnuts and pastry must contain
third of wheat substitutes at all
times, and their batter cakes, grid
die cakes and waffles must contain
three-quarters of substitutes.
The new regulation has been put
into operation for the protection Of
those public eating places which de-
sire to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent with the food administration in
wheat saving but were subjected to
unfair competition on the part of
their competitors. By placing all
under the same unvarying rule, this
unfair competition is eliminated.
The new rule, which is No. 27,
under the general rules and regu-
lations governing licenses manufac-
turing bakery products, is as follows:
Rule 81. defective February Is,
1879. All bakery products manu-
featured by licensee that are con-
sumed in any hotel, restaurant, din
ing car, steamship, boarding house,
or any other public eating place or
club, operated by such license, shall
contain at least the percentage of
wheat flour substitutes in rule 25
Rule 25 states the percentage of
substitutes which products must con-
tain in order to be termed Victory
are as follows: Bread and rolls, 20
per cent substitute; sweet yeast
dough goods, crackers, biscuits, cook
les, cakes, pies fried cakes and pas
try, SO 1-3 per cent substitute; batter
cakes, griddle cakes, waffles, rs per
cent substitute.

KEYhiE1 SECUR; RAISE
Railway TeIegraphers Are Given
An Advance in Wages.
EIGHT Hours Will Constitute a DAYS
Work and Time and a Half
for Overtime.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Director
General McAdoo has ordered railway
telegraDhers' wages advanced Is
cents an hour above the rate prevail
ing Jan. /, 1918, with a minimum OF
IS cents an Iiour, retroactive to Oct. i.
Eight hours hereafter will constitute
a days work and time and a half will
be paid for overtime.
This order, involving aggregate in
creascs of about $50, 000, 600 a year, ap-
plies to between 10000 and 10000 en-
ployes, including telegraphers, tele-
phone operators, neutrality-suspicious.,
agent-telephoners, towermen, lever
men. tower and train directors, block
operators and staff men. 1t does not
apply to telephone switchboard oper-
ators. A separate wage order will be
issued applying to railroad, agents
who are not telegraphers.
The order meets partially the re-
quest of the Order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers for advances and will tend,
through the provision for time and a
half pay for overtime to cut down the
long hours of employment of which
t~elegraphers heretofore have com.
planned.

TO TEST STRENGTH or HEART
Simple Method Which is Credited 20
the Invention Of German Men
Of Science.

There is a new way of diagnosing
heart disease. 1t was discovered In
Germany and Is based upon the prin-
ciple that extremely slight motion in
the air will form similar changes In a
burning flame.
Two small smoking gas flames are
used, and around these is twined a
wide paper tape. The flames cause
bands of SCOT to appear upon the sur
face Of the tape.
Over the heart of the patient an In
strument somewhat similar to a tele-
phone transmitter Is placed. This
transmitter has a very sensitive
diaphragm. Its vibrations are dupli-
Gated by n tube to a gas chamber
through which passes the gas for one
OF the flames.
The slight flaming of the gas in re-
Spouse to the various vibrations result
in characteristic rings of smoke on the
paper tape. From these abnormalities
In the heartbeat can be read. Time
is recorded by the second fame, influ-
enced similarly by vibrations from a
tuning fork. The smoke-rings vary In
shape and position according to the
character of vibration causing them.
and so help to simplify the diagnosis.
