About Income Report

Mark A. Skinner. collector of Intern
al Revenue for the District OF Colo
RADIO. which Includes the states of
Colorado and Wyoming. has made pub
lie the fact that under instructions
from the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington, ID. c.. an In
come Tax Drive is now being inaug-
urated all over the country to seek
out individuals who have failed TO
make income tax returns for the year
1917.
The law provides-'1f you are a
citizen or resident of the United
States and your net income for 1917
equaled or exceeded 50 900, il you
are married and live with your wife
tor husband). or $1,000 if you are not
married or do not live with your wife
(or husband). YOU must make a re-
turn. II you are married and live with
your wife tor husband) or are head
of a family. you are entitled to a per-
sonai exemption of $4,000 plus $500 for
each dependent child under IS tor
mentally or physically incapacitated
for self-support
If you are not married or do not live
with wife Tor husband) or are not
head of family. you are entitled to
personal exemption of 81 900 only.
A head of family is a person who.
in accordance with some moral or leg
al obligation. actually supports and
maintains one or more individuals
closely related TO him or her by blood,
marriage, or adoption"
1t viii be seen from this that many
persons who may not be liable for a
tax. are nevertheless liable for re-
turn. and are subject TO the penalties
for failure to make such return The
law provides, however. that any per-
son making voluntary return and
presenting reasonable excuse, sat
isfactory to the Commissioner. will
be relieved OF the penalty. and it is
urged by Mr. skinner that every per-
son liable make voluntary return at
once to the Collectors office or to
one of his deputies. in order to take ad-
vantage of this leniency. and as a
matter of patriotic assistance to the
Government in time of war.
Collector skinner has assigned "a
field deputies to the work of combing
the states of Colorado and Wyoming
for delinquent tax payers. and every
possible source of Information will be
thoroly Investigated for income and
other profits which have not been re-
The taxpayer will be summoned be
fore the Collector or his deputies. to
explain any profitable transaction with
which his name is connected. Prof
fessional men. saIaried men. wage
esrners. cattlemen, farmers. and all
other classes, will be included in this
investigation.
Partnerships will also be investi-
gated. as they are liable for excess
profits tax returns. in case the part
nership has a net income OF $4,000. or
more. without deduc,ing salaries of in
terest paid to the partners.

BOLsheUik BlOU
Staggers Russia

Is even more startling. Before the
600 900 puds of coal and 26o, 100000
puds of iron. Present Russia can pro-
duce only 500 900 900 puds OF coal and
10000. 900 puds of iron.
WIPES OUT DEVELOPMENT
These figures mean that Russia's
industrial development of the past 20
years is practically wiped out as re-
suit of the 4th year OF the war-the
sabotage OF the Russian peace pro-
gram and the policy of the Bolshev-
.ki
The big question now is whether
Russia can withstand such blood let
ting. In opposing the farces OF i'm
perIalism she faces her severest bat
tie for political and economic indie
pendence Only the speediest reor-
ganization OF the nations physical and
human material can prevent Russia's
falling into the status OF China or Tur
key.
The task is too big for the Boishev-
Xxi Only the united efforts of the
whole democracy of the country by
means of real constituent assembly

ING;:$:,''>l IS HELD
AT SPRING GREEN
Otto Fielding Is Killed When Some
thing Projecting From Passing
Truck Hits Him

District Attorney ]. II. Hill and
Justice of the Peace Adolph andre
returned Tuesday night from Spring
Green, where they went to conduct an
inquest into the death of Otto Field
ing, who was killed on Monday night
when returning from Baraboo to
Spring Green in an auto. 1t appears
that four young men by the names of
Love, Schreiner, Diehl and Schwartz
came to BarabOO on Monday to be ex-
amined for war service, and before
leaving Spring Green were joined by
Fielding for joy ride. While they
were returning home about IL o'clock
and were one-half mile north of the
village of Spring Green, they met one
of the Sauk county trucks loaded with
machinery, and as the Ford car in
which the young men were riding
passed by, something projecting from
the load on the truck struck Fielding
in the face, killing him instantly.
Mr. Fielding was As years Of age
and was registered out west, but re-
Gently returning to Spring Green. 1t
is said that he has relatives residing
there, but as yet none has been To-
Gated.
A jury composed of f. S. Sherwood,
L. +. Wells, F. A. Barnard, John
Reuschlein, William Waterstreet and
T. NJ Pollard was impanelled, Adolph
andre Of this city acting in place Of
of
Green, who was too busy to preside.
The inquest was not completed Tues
day and was adjourned to a later date.
A number of important points, how
ever, were brought out, although there
was not enough evidence to fix the re-
spOnsibility. The evidence showed
that neither the Ford car nor the
county truck turned out as far as they
should in passing to avoid the injury,
and it was also shown that the Occu-
pants of the Ford car had been drink
ing heavily at the various thirst places
between Spring Green and Baraboo
on both their trip here and returning.
In fact, two Of them were said to be
so drunk while they were in Baraboo
that they were locked up for a time
by Chief of Police Pelton. They did
not get their liquor in Barab0O, how
ever
1t was also established at the in
quest that the driver Of the county
truck, Charles Pictl by name, is a tee
totaler while on the other hand one
Of tho vOuOo mon in tho Ford oar adj
mitted that he did not know until the
next morning that Fielding had been
accidentally killed.
A photograph of the loaded truck
will probably be presented at the con-
tinuance of the inquest in order to
help clear up the manner in which
the unfortunate accident occurred.

to be examined. At the present time
there is nothing to say as to the
cases-this will come later. One of
the accused is said to be minister,
another woman, another an office
seeker, and still others are just resi-
dents of the county.
There was one group of witnesses
from North Freedom, another from
the Prairie du Sac-Merrimack neigh
borhood, and still another from the
Troy-Honey Creek country. Natural
ly there are persons in those neigh
borhoods the government seeks to
punish. If fines or imprisonments fol-
low, the information will come later.
Only a part of the witnesses were ex-
amined on Tuesday, the others later.
