INCOME TAX OFFICIAL
COMING TO EUREKA
He IL Announced To Arrive on January
IL and Remain That Day Only

He Ia Announced To Arrive on January
IL and Remain That Day Only
The SENTINEL is in receipt of the
following communication from the
Internal Revenue Service:
San Francisco, Dec. 26, 1917.
1t will require a small army of men
to take the income tax returns of
persons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue
Wardell to-day announced that SO
officers will start from his headquart-
ers on January LIST, and on January
2 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 January IL, 1918,
and to remain that day. He will
have his Office in a hotel in Eureka,
where he may be found.
1T will be well for every unmar-
ried person whose net income for
1917 is $1,000 or over, and every
married person living with wife or
husband whose net income for 1917
is $4,000 or over. to call on the income
tax man and learn whether or not
they have any tax to pay" Collector
Wardell said to-day. THE person
subject to tax who doesn't make re-
turn in the time prescribed is going
to regret it. The Government will
get after all income tax slackers.
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 $4,000. as the case may be.
and who is not sure about what de-
auctions the law allows him, to play
it safe by calling on the income tax
man.
The mar in the field will have
forms for everybody. and persons
who expect to call on him need not
trouble themselves to write to my
Office for forms"
