NO RETURN TO
MONARCHY BY
THE AUSTRIANS

Z Vienna, Dec. .-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press) Return to
the monarchical system of govern
ment in German Austria is out of the
question in the opinion of some of
the government leaders here. One
high official who is believed to rep
resent the views of government cir
cles is quoted as saying that the
dynasty had lost nearly all its popu-
Aarity during the war, while republi-
can ideas had made extraordinary
progress even in the most remote
parts of the country. Besides, he
said, the mass Of the people certainly
was not inclined to contribute to the
cost OF maintaining an expensive roy
al court after the enormous financial
sacrifices entailed by calamitous
war.
Vienna is the heart of German
Austria and all that relates to the
rart of the old Austrian Empire is of
burning interest. Government Of
ficials point out that the German
Austrian industries are in need of
raw materials and machinery which
only Germany can supply. The pa
per mills, leather and woodward
manufactures, agricultural machin-
cry and engineering works, especial
ly the electro technical establish
ments have been conducted on a
scale to- fulfill the requirements of
a great empire. The manufacturers
now see that their markets will be
less extensive than under the empire.
1t is expected that The Czecho-Slo
vaks. the Poles, the sHungarians and
the Jugo-Slavs will erect custom bar
riers tending to exclude from these
separated countries German -Austri-
an gods. Besides. Austria will have
to make formidable Czech competi-
tion in Poland and expects to be ex.
cluded from competition in the Bo.
hemian market owing to the cheaper
cost of living in Bohemia and the
proximity of coal supplies there
Apart from the magnesite ores ir
Styria, German-Austria is poor lin
natural resources, while her stocks
of raw material are said to be more
depleted than those of any of the
former great nations of Europe.

meanwhile, there is no need OF de-
laying the preparation of figures.
Anything that congress does now
will affect the amount OF a pesons
earnings for 1918. Let US avoid the
belated throwing together OF figures
that may hit or miss. Guesses can
not be accepted as the basis OF taxa
tion. It is clearly the duty OF every
person to compile correct figures and
ascertain whether his income for
1918 was sufficient to make neces-
sary a sworn return.
"The year 1918 was banner year
for salaries and wages, and the high
war prices brought unusual profits
to the average small tradesman and
to the farmer. The opinion in
Washington is that an additiona!
million citizens and residents Will
make this year their first income tax
returns.
"All signs indicate that the in
come tax year will reach nearly every
working man and woman, and nearly
every merchant, shop keeper and
farmer. Not all will have to pay the
tax, but nearly all will be obliged to
make sworn statement Of the years
income.
"I am therefore advising every un-
married person who earned $1,000
or over during the year 1918, and
every married person, who together
with wife or husband, earned $4,000
to sharpen his pencil and figure out
how he stands.
"He must ascertain accurately his
gross income from all sources. There
is his salary or wages, including
overtime pay and bonus received as
additional compensation. A married
person having children under elgh-
teen. who are working, should include
the earnings of such children.
"If he sold any property at prof.
it, the gain must be computed and
included in gross income. II ne
rented any property to other persons,
the total rents received in the year
must be ascertained, and from that

on mortgage, and reasonable allow
ance for annual wear and tear of the
rented property. The balance is in

Interest on bank deposits, wheth-
er withdrawn or added to his bank
balances, must be included in all cal
culations of income. Bond interest
received during the year must also
be included, except interest on mu-
nicipal, county or state bonds. Inter
est on United States bonds need not
be included by the ordinary bond
holder who purchased small amounts
Holders Of large amounts of Liberty
bonds, however, should ask their
bankers to write to the collectors
office for the rule applying to tax
on such interest.
"Dividends on stock shares are in
come, and must be included in the
gross figures, although the law does
not impose the normal tax on dis

tions.
"a person buying and selling mer-
chandis.e must find his profits for the
year on the following basis: First.
ascertain the gross sales or total cash
receipts. Then add together the in
ventory at the beginning of the year
and the purchase of goods for resale
From this latter sum, subtract the
inventory of goods on hand at the
years end, and the result is the cost
of goods sold. This cost, plus neces-
sary expenses incurred solely through
conduct of the business, is to be de-
Quoted from the gross sales, and the
result is the. net earnings of the busi-
ness.
"A professional man arrives at his
professional income by ascertaining
the total fees for services and deduct
ing therefrom all expenses connected
directly and solely with his practice.
"a farmer must figure up all In
come derived from the sale or ex-
charge of products during the year,
whether sucirs produce was raised on
the farm or purchased and resold. He
is allowed to deduct from this total
his expenses of the year connected
with the planting, cultivation, har-
vesting and marketing of the crop, or
the care, feeding and marketing OF
livestock. He is not allowed to de-
duct the amount expended in 1918 IN
purchasing stock for resale; but
when such stock is sold it's cost is to
be deducted from sale price in as

COACH RICHTER
HAS NEW GAME
Its CAGE BALL

The old saying, 'There's nothing
new under the sum-" got a jolt at
Central High School today when
Coach RICHTER sprung surprise on
the boys by introducing for the first
time in Imperial Valley the game of
cage ball. This game is much used
by army physical directors and was
used by Lieutenant RICHTER at Camp
Funston, Kansas.
Cage ball is cross between bas-
ket and volley ball. It is played with
a big canvas-covered ball which is
tossed off and batted in the air by
the players. Any number can play
the more the merrier.f At each END
of the field is "cage" ten feet
long, two feet deep and four feet
wide, hung SO that its upper edge is
ten feet from the ground. Aa..:4 %
The game starts with the captains
of the two sides facing each other
in the center of the field, the ball
supported in the air on their hands
and the players of each side lined
up across the field ten feet back of
their respective captains. At the
whistle the men at center each try
to start the ball toward he cage,
which he faces, and he two sides
rush for the ball and try to send it
down the field and into their cage.
The side which "cages" the ball the
most times in the agreed playing
time wins. The ball cannot be kicked

HUNTERS PARADISE.

Pueblo, Colo, Feb. 1.-The high
prices brought by pelts of animals
found in the vicinity of Pueblo has
caused many farmers and other resi-
dents of the county to turn hunters
and trappers. Coyote hides in first
class condition were quoted at $22
here. An ordinary coyote hide was
worth $12 and upward.
-Four years ago a coyote hide
brought no more than $5 and was
not readily saleable at that. Pelts
of skunks then sold for 81 and those
Of badgers not more than $2 This
season common stripped skunk pelts
sold for 50 and upward and badger
pelts for SO and upward, the price
depending, of course, upon the grade.
Even rabbit skins were marketable
at prices which make the saving and
shipping Of them worth while.
A watchman at an oil we'll recently
sold collection of pelts for $97. It
was weeks bag and included four
coyotes, two badgers and nine
skunks. His badger pelts brought
$3.50 each. A rancher is reported
to have sold $500 worth of pelts this
winter. 4

The following informative talk or
the new income tax and its provis-
ions is given Press readers by Col
lector John P. Carter:
The big income tax drive Of 1918
is now under way, and every prepar.
alton is being made to handle the lar
gest collection in the history of in
come tax. 81 am not waiting for the
final passage of the new revenue bill
by congress-" said Collector Carter
today, "nor for the new regulations
and blank forms to be issued. To
get this big tax in and get it accurate
and complete, / urge that we all be-
gin now"
The income tax obligations inpos-
ed by the old laws, as well as the
measure now in Congress, consist
of two distinct operations. One is,
to file return or statement of all
items of income and Stems Of deduc-
tions allowable by law, and to do this
within the period named in the law.
The other is, to pay the tax, if any
is due.
: Neither of these obligations can
be met without a careful review OF
income and expenditure for the tax
year. That is the big job now, and
that is why the income tax drive al
ready is under way. Everywhere
the pencil is busy. The old year is
done; all its fruits are CLEANED; and
every person who Jared we'll, or earn
ed q good competence, must analyze
his own case in cold figures.
"When the new bill is enacted into
law, proper return forms will he dis
tributed throughout the district, and
everybody will be informed of the
date when the sworn return must be
filed. Deputies will be sent out to
central locations, and travel through
the district, aiding taxpayers in the
preparation of the returns and in
deciding doubtful points. We will
go right to the people with the in
come tax, and with the cooperation
which the public can give the govern
ment men, the returns will be filed
by everybody who comes under the
laws provisions, the right taxes viii
be paid, and the district will have
done its full patriotic duty toward

Eureka, CAL, Feb. THAT splan-

the Amazon is to be broken, and with

nershlp with the federal government
whereby ten miles of road are to be
built into the Somes Bar country in
the northeastern part of the county.
With the opening of this highway a
passage will be available into Siski-
you county and automobile voyagers
through the Sacramento valley will
have wonderful realm for adven-
