Effective Cause, Says Supt;
Increase Granted

Street car service in Chickasha was
interrupted for about an hour aud a
half this morning while Supt. Wads-
worth and the employees of the com
pany were arriving at an agreement
with reference to some points in con
troversy. 1t was about 10 O'Clock
when the cars were rssn into the barn
and about 11:3O when their opera
tion was resumed after a wage in
crease had been granted by the com
pany and the men had waived two
minor details.
In the past the carmen have been
receiving 20 cents per hour during
their first year of service, 221a cents
during the second year and 25 cents
the third year. They asked for %
cents the first year and so cents per
hour thereafter A petition to this
effect was filed with Mr.. Wadsworth
and it was announced that unless the

specify whether it was to be in the

City Property is Author
lied

It's a fact that a city primary cleo
ton was held in Chickasha Tuesday
although few voters seemed to be
aware of it, Lack of opposition to
the candidates was the cause of the
general apathy.
On the question of the sale Of the
city property at the corner of Fifth
and Choctaw a total of 50 votes were
cast, all but three being in favor of
the deal.
In the first ward I. S. Hendrick
was nominated for alderman, Is
votes being cast, 10 in the first pre-
cinct and 5 in the second.
]. C. Neal was renominated for al
derman in the second ward, the total
vote being 2S, of which IL were cast
in the first precinct and 12 in the
second.
Jacob Lorensen was again nomi
mated for alderman in the third ward
receiving IL votes.
In the fourth ward, Y. w Darnell
was elected as the aldermanic candi
date, polling votes in the first pre-
cinct and II in the second.

TAX MAN
RETURNS
Called Come Back for Few Days; All
Reports Must Be Filed by
April |

Claude Collard, deputy income tax
collector, is back in Chickasha and
is again busy at his office in the fed.
eral building where he is explaining
to tax payers the method of making
out their returns and accepting their
money in case they desire to liquid
ate their accounts with Uncle Sam
at the present time Mr.. Collard will
be here the remainder of the week.
The period for filing returns, which
are required of every unmarried per-
son whose income for 1917 was $1,000
or more and every married person
whose income was $1,000 or more,
ends April 1. 1t is estimated that
the number of returns that will be
filed by that date will be not less
than 100000. The penalty for fail.
ure is fine of not less than 500 nor
more than $1,000 and an additional
IGasmeAt OF 80 per cent of the
amount of tax due. Plans for check
ing the returns have been made by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and
The man who deliberately evadeB the
income tax, it is announced, need ex-
poct no leniency. Under, the "infor-
nation at source" provision of the
law every employer is required to
file with the Commissioner of Inter.
ual Revenue a report of payments Of
$500 or more made to each employe
during the year 1917. Thousands of
such reports have been received.
Payment must be made on or be-
fore June Is. Millions of taxpayers,
however, are saving themselves and
the government time and trouble by
paying their tax at the time Of filing
their return, The penalty for max
ing q false or fraudulent return is
fine not exceeding $1,000 or not ex-
ceeding one years Imprisonment, or

attitude of the Republicans of Wis
consin toward the war policies of the
nation is still in doubt as the ballots
cast in the senatorial primary Tues

With over half of the precincts re-

are almost even in the battle.
Lenroot, however, is in the lead by
very scant margin and both sides
are claiming a victory.

issues the following statement:
TO the voters Of Grady county: In
announcing myself a candidate for
the office If county attorney Of Gra-
dy county, Oklahoma, subject to the
action of the Democratic primary, to
be held in August, which office | now
hold, do not deem it necessary to
make any lengthy statement of the
same.
l merely wish to say that during
the time l have held this position, /
have done my best to make you an
efficient officer, My time and abili-
ty has been yours. The court rec
ords speak for themselves as to my
work and l earnestly court an inves-
tigation of the same.
My stand on law enforcement is
too well known to the citizens of Gra.
dy county for me to make mention
of the same, but l will say that yet
believe that it is necessary for the
protection of the lives and property
of our citizens, for the preservation
Of our moral and religious standing,
and for the perpetuity of free institu-
tions, that all criminal laws should
be strictly enforced, and this. has
been my sole aim since taking charge
Of this office and shall continue to
be my motto if reelected.
