Reports received by the Inspection
Division of the U. S. Fuel Admins
tration from inspectors operating in
the various fields for the week ended
July goth, show that 364 mines were
classified as preparing coal improp
erly. 1t is also shown that 402 cars
were rejected at Tidewater, and that
"a mines were embargoed at Tide
water.
While this condition is a great i'm
provement over that existing during
last year, the Fuel Administration is
continuing it's diligent policy of urg-
ing the mines to still further i'm
provement.
officers and members of the United
Mine Workers of America are operat-
ing industriously with the Fuel Ad-
ministration in its ceaseless efforts
to bring about reform in the prac-
tice of loading unclean coal, and thru
their trade papers and the various
local organizations are constantly
! calling the attention of the miners
to the urgency of the case.
Every ton of slate, rock, bone or
other impurity that goes into rail-
road car displaces that much coal.
Just as much steam energy and man
power is required to transport ton
of impurity as a ton of coal. Not
only that but the producing
value of coal is to large extent de-
stroyed when mixed with impurities
such as have been described.
In these times when the govern
ment is exerting every effort to dis
tribute to- the various communities
sufficient amount of coal to carry
on the industries upon which the war
depends, as well as to taking care of
domestic consumers, more devolves
upon the individual miner. working
in the mines than the mere turning
out of coal. His product must be
kept free of impurities. :.
tain districts, of every 100 cars of
coal now transported, l3 cars of use
less slate, sulphur and other impu
rites are included. This is waste
of energy when energy is one of the
nations greatest assets.
The Fuel Administration makes a
special plea to the miners OF the
country to see to it that only coal
of the highest standard of quality is
loaded into the cars.

operations. The capital stock of
S5O,OOO,0OO, all Government held, has
been increased to S150,000,0O0 in view

Colorado Docs Well

During the month of June, Colo
RADIO jumped from 18th to 10th place
in the sale of War Savings Stamps
for that period and from 10Th to 18th
place in the total sales from the be-
ginning of the campaign to the end
of June During June Colorado sold
81, 1872, ,743.31 or S1.35 per capita. To-
tai sales to June 90, S4,600.533.5S as
reported to the National Government
at Washington. The total cash sales
to date as reported into the Denver
office from selling agencies are lit
tie over $4,000. 10000. The total
pledges as reported to the State
headquarters since the drive was
SI7,O17,39O which is just a little
more than S2,OOcsOOOO0 below Colo
radios quota. In many instances
those who pledged one amount have
purchased almost twice as much as
they pledged.
During the last ten days the state
headquarters have simply been flooded
on account of extra work produced by
the drive, the distribution of the
pledge cards to the selling agencies,
the informing of the selling agencies
how to handle them, the return and
cancellation of the pledges that have
been fulfilled and the answering of
the thousand and two questions that
have arisen during the drive, have
kept those in charge of the State
Headquarters more busily engaged
than at any time since the campaign
started. However. order is coming
out of chaos and the machinery thru
which the pledges are to be secured
is gradually assuming shape, and will,
within the next ten days, be moving
with regular precision and hum
Colorado people will be pleased to
know this state stands among the
first five states of the Union in rec
ord during the drive.

C. N. Carter Self,

Word reaches town that C. M. Car
ter has sold his fine manganese prop
erty near the Doctor mine. The new
manager, Mr.. Brown, is on the
ground and will put a large force at
work at once. This property is
very valuable one and under new
management will be rapidly devel-
oped. Very few of our people appre-
ciate the richness of the mineral de-
posits in that vicinity. The Doctor
is one of the best mining PROPOSE
tions in the state but we hear little
of it. We predict for the new ope-
rators of this Carter property the
development of one of the best pay
ing mines in the county.

distributed among localities. Within
each locality, employers in non-war
work, including those who are only
partially in war work, will be asked
to distribute the local quotas from
time to time amongst themselves.
Quotas by localities and individuals
are to be accepted as readily as they
are for Liberty Loan and Red Cross
campaigns. This plan of labor quotas
is protection for all communities.
The object is to keep any commu-
nifty from being drained of labor, and
to use local supply, as far as possible,
for local demand. The situation,
however, is such that in certain
cases some men may have to be
transported over long distances.
You will note from the above out
line that this is probably the most
drastic action that the Government
has taken since putting the National
Army draft into effect. The absolute
necessity for this program can be
seen when it is realized that in Pitts
burg, for instance, there are adver-
tisements calling for men to go to
Detroit; while in Detroit street cars
there are posters asking men to go
to Pittsburg. This same condition
is apparent all over the United
States and in the consequent shifting
of labor great part of our war
effort is dissipated.
Because it is only through the
press of the Nation that this mat
ter can be fully presented to the peo-
pie, we are asking that you lay this
matter fully and frankly before your
readers-showing them that this ac-
tion is taken as war measure in or
der to protect not only employers
and the employed, but communities
as well. Yours respectfully,
J.. b. DENSMORE,
Director General.

INCOME TAX TIGHTENING


Mark A. Skinner, Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the District OF
Colorado, which includes the states
of Colorado and Wyoming, has made
public the fact that under instruc
tions from the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue at Washington, d. C..
an Income Tax Drive is now being
inaugurated all over the country tt
seek out individuals who have failet
to make income tax returns for the
year 1917.
The law provides-''If you are
a citizen or resident of the Unit
ed States and your net income
for 1917 equaled or exceeded
$4,000 if you are married and
live with your wife (or husband),
or $1,000 if you are not married
or do not live with your wife (or
husbandD, you must make a re-
turn. If you are married and
live with your wife (or husband),
or are head of family, you are
entitled to personal exemption
of $4,000 plus 5000 for each de-
pendent child under 1S (or men
tally or physically incapacitated
Cor selfsupport.)
"If you are not married or do
not live with wife (or husbanO
or are not head of family, you
are entitled to "a personal ex-
emption of $1,000 only.
"a head of family is a person
who, in accordance with some
moral or legal obligation, actu-
ally supports and maintains one
or more individuals closely re-
lated to him or her by blood,
marriage, or adoption"
1t will be seen from this tha
many persons who may not be liza
BILE for tax, are nevertheless liabl'
for return, and are subject to tn
penalties for failure to make such ;
return. The law provides, however
that any person making a voluntar,
return and presenting REASONABLE
excuse, satisfactory to the Commits
sioner, will be relieved of the pen
atty, and it is urged by Mr.. Skinne
that every person liable make vol
untary return at once to the Col
lector's office or to one of his depu
ties, in order to take advantage o
this leniency, and as matter o
patriotic assistance to the Govern
ment in time of war.
Collector Skinner has assigned 2
field deputies to the work of comb
ing the states of Colorado and Wy
oming for delinquent tax payers, an
every possible source of information
will be thoroughly investigated TO
income and other profits which hav
not been reported.
The taxpayer will be summoned be
fore the Collector or his deputies, t
explain any profitable transactio
with which his name is connected
Professional men, salaried men. wag
earners, cattlemen, farmers, and al
other classes, will be included in thi
investigation.
Partnerships will also be investi
gated, as they are liable for exces
profits tax returns, in case the part
nership has net income of $4,000
or more, without deducting salarie
or interest paid to the partners.

What W. Should Call Them

North Fork Times
The following from the Grand
Junction News expresses our senti-
ments to dot This Sammy bust
ness is worse than a physic and an
emetic combined Yanks is the word.
Let's call them "Yanks."
1t would seem a determined effort
is being made among the American
soldiers on the other side to shake off
that nickname, Sammy" which was
fastened upon them by no one knows
who or when or where. They seem to
consider it rather effeminate and
have chosen that good old word,
"Yank' as having the right sound in
their ears, as the following bit of
doggerel from the Stars and Stripes,
paper published at the front by
American soldiers, will attest:
Dey're goin' to call me Sammy
My Gawd, what have I did?
Why dent they make it Ferdinand
Or Cutie, dear" or "Kid?"
l wonder for dat handle
Just who l got to tank.
Why don't dey cut dat Sammy stuff,
And stick to good old "Yank!"
Now, here's name l fall for
It's big and strong and frank;
Bo. dere's "a sound dat's got some stuff,
A good, loud-bellowed "Yank!'
I'll bet some sewin' circle.

where they had sought to shield
themselves from the flames sweeping
in one great blast from Kettle River
northeastward to Ottumwa, and tc
the shores OF Moose Lake, the I'M

by rescue parties from Moose Lake
today.
