LIBERTY LOAN M
TO Be FL0ATED soon
DATA ON WHAT WAS DONE IN
COUNTIES or STATE ON FIRST
TWO ISSUES DESIRED TO FA
ciLITATE NEW WORK

The next Liberty Loan, No. 3, Il
scheduled to be floated early II
April, according to reports reachinl
here, and already the committee OF
public information Of the nationa'
council Of defense has called upor
all states to furnish a summary o.
war activities in particular relating
to the subscribing of the first and
second loans. It is rumored thai
there has been a slow response ir
several New Mexico counties in CIV
ing this data, which makes 1t i'm
possible at this time for the state
council Of defense to give the gov
eminent definite and official infor
nation as to the subscriptions to the
first and second loans. What the
government now seeks is the populaI
ton, the quota and the number Of
subscribers in each county in each
state.
Failed TO Get Credit
1t has been rumored-and there IL
reason to believe there is a founda
ton for the reports-that several
counties in New Mexico have yet to
get public credit for subscriptions &c
these loans. II is said, for instance
that the subscribers in Rio Arriba
county have found that their money
was sent through a Colorado bank
and that Colorado got credit for 1t
It is said that subscribers OF two OF
more counties in New Mexico had
their loans put through an Albu'
querque bank, and Bernalillo got
credit for them. It is said that down
in Dona Ana county a big subscrip'
ton was sent through a bank of III
Paso, and the big state of Texas
got credit for 1t.
To give the government the infor'
nation It desires, no doubt for the
purpose of handling this. third loan
in an equitable manner, 1t will be
necessary to find out just what each
county did on the past two loans,
regardless Of the location Of the
banks through which the loans we're
purchased. The only report that now
seems available is that given out by
the Federal Reserve bank, in Kan
sas City, representing the 10 north
ern counties of New Mexico, that in
Dallas, Texas, for the IS other coun.
ties. This report is based on bank
reports, but an effort now is to be
made to find out how many dollars
came out OF each county in the state
and give each county credit for the
subscriptions. When this is done, II
is pointed out, there will be a work.
ing basis for the third drive.

WOMEN OF STATE TO
ORGANIZE TO HELP
CARRY ON WAR WORK
AUXILIARY TO STATE COUNCIL
OF DEFENSE WILL PUT IT'S
WORK ON A PAR WITH THAT
DONE BY THE MEN.

That it is necessary that the women
of the United States unselhshly make
the sacrifices and undertake the tasks
that must be faced in order to win the
war, was the keynote of the meeting
held today in the senate chamber Of
the capitol by the woman's auxiliary
of the state council of defense. The
object Of the session was organization
of the IN for more successful
work than has been done in the past.
One of the spheres in which women
can be useful, IL was brought out, Is in
assisting to suppress pro-German and
unpatriotic talk. 1t appears that while
the men for the most part have come
to speak with loyalty or say nothing,
certain women are said to have made
u~tterances that are not entirely loyal.
1t was stated this morning that should
the patriotic women rebuke such ut
terances, disloyal talk soon might dis
appear.
Governor w. e. Lindsey made an IN
spring talk, in which he stated that
the Germans think they are destined
to possess the earth, and that should
they do SO the sphere would not be
large enough for a l~ibertyloving per-
son to find a place where ne could
dwell in happiness. The executive ap-
pealed for the support of the women
of the state in all activities for fur
thing the country's war aims,
Charles Springer, chairman of the
executive committee OF the state coun-
ell of defense, made an address in
which he explained the Kenosha plan,
which means the fixing of a budget by
the individual communities from
which all war contributions are paid.
This plan has been found to be equit-
able, as it brings the money from rich
and those less fortunate in proportion
to their means.
Representatives From Abroad.
Representatives from different or.
CARNATIONS all over the state are at
tending the meeting. Among them

WHAT IS WARTIME ECoNOMYf
Misinformation Agitation Would Stop All Activities Other Than War,
 Declares Writer.

Misinformation agitators believe economy to be cessation of all pos sible> activities calling for the ex- penditure of public money other than that directly concerned with the prosecution of the war. In this throttling of activity the good roads movement is imperiled-a movement which has gained tremendous mo- mentum of late years through the demands, not only of the pleasure car but also of the motor truck, in it's endeavors to serve the nation through increasing the efficiency of short-haul transportation systems, says a writer in Leslie's.
 The Society of Automobile Engi- neers, in cooperation with the quar- tesnaster's department, has com- pleted set of specifications for mili- tary motor trucks to form the basis of the competitive bid for the 35,0oO machines required for the army. These specifications are based on the experience gained from the whole sale use of trucks on the Mexican border. They call for larger, stronger and more expensive truck than would be necessary were this type to be used over uniformly good or average roads. Were our im- proved highway system complete, less stringent specifications for truck construction would be required and millions would be saved on the cost of our truck fleet. This saving would more than pay the interest on the bonds required to provide for the construction of the thousands of miles of improved highways this great country so urgently needs.

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- tion to bear a 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 Q 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 5000 exemption.
 Under the law the head of the fami- ly is the one whose earning power con- tributes to the family's support.
 Similarly widow with small chill dren to support can take out 5000 exemption and $2O0 additional exemp- tion for each of her children under eighteen. Thus 1t 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 $1000.
 A man whose wife dies and who is left with small children to support upon a moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $20O exemption for esch of his children under eighteen.
 The widower under the law is single man and must make tax re- turn accordingly. Married men need not file returns unless they are earn ing 5000 or more.
 This Is as much national obliga- tion as the reporting for duty of man drafted for service with the colors," says D. c. Roper, commissioner of in- ternal revenue. AS 1t stands, 1t Is much a matter of the man or wo- mans own conscience. It Is for him or for her to determine just how far he is liable to the tax. He must figure his own income and If 1t reaches the figures named In the law must make faithful report upon 1t to the proper authority.
 "This tax is distinctly a war meas ure and will be in effect during the war
 This Is peoples tax-it reaches right down into the pockets of the small wage earner; 1t makes him a partner in the job of winning the war"

APRIL 1 LAST DAY
 FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are Severe-Get Your Return
 in if You Are Liable.

April 1. 191S Is the final day al- lowed under the federal income tax law for the filing of federal income tax returns. Persons who are requir- ed to file returns under the provisions of law and who fail to get their re turns in on time are subject to se- we're penalties, as follows:
 For making false or fraudulent re- turn, not exceeding 5000 or not ex- ceeding one years Imprisonment, or both, in the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 100 per cent of the tax evaded.
 For failing to make return on time, not less than $20 nor more than $1,- 900, and, in addition, 90 per cent. of the amount of tax due.
 If on account of illness or absence from home you are unable to render your return within the time prescribed by law you may obtain an extension of 30 days If request therefor is filed with the collector of your district be- fore the due date of the return. In this request you must state the req son why the return cannot be filed within the time prescribed by law.
 Collectors of internal revenue are not authorized to grant extensions of more than 30 days, but the commis- sioner of internal revenue has author ity to grant reasonable extension beyond 30 days In meritorious cases. If you desire an extension of more than 80 days your request should be addressed to the commissioner and should contain a detailed statement covering the reasons which make it impossible for you to file your return on or before April l.
 The internal revenue men are now completing their tour of the country, during which they were in touch with the people of every city and town. If you failed to get in touch with the deputy which visited your section 1t is not too late to get advice Consult your postmaster as to where the near. est deputy Is now. Get your blank form, study the directions and the re- quirements as shown thereon and make your return without fail If your income was sufficient to come within the bounds named in the. law.
 It Is pointed out by Commissioner Roper that 1t is important that the people comply with the federal laws as fully as they are complying with the drafts for men and the eonserya. tion of foods and fuel. "The war must be paid for" says Commissioner Roper "Congress has as much right to con. script a just portion ot income as if
