MANY RUSH TO MAKE FINAL PAYMENT OF
 1919 INCOME TAXES

1919 INCOME TAKES PHOBNlX. Dec. l7-Final payments O. income taxes were made in Phoe- nix Monday. but the exact number of person who paid the final installment on 1919 taxes had not been estimated yesterday. The only way a married man. possessed of an average net ir- come of s2.4e0 a year may beat the income tax is by raising family ot two children.
 There were several who waited un- til the last minute to pay the last in s;ailment. and still others who did not pay a; all. The latter will be pen alized
 Here is what is to happen 10 the incomes of 1920:
 A married man is allowed an ex- emption Of 5000 and s2j6 for each child under IS years of age. With two children or dependent under Is years of age or one physically CT men -;ally defective, the married man Of moderate means need not worry abou; his income tax returns. Neither should he worry abou; the surtax. which has driven many to the edge o. the grave figuring the wAy and whei e. fore of this tax
 With the single man. who has an exemption of sl.Oo0. there is no such chance 10 avoid calling on the income tax man unless his income is under the sl.Go0 scale.
 A Single Mans Tax
 If his total income for the year is $l,5"9 salary and all, he has $500 on which he must pay an income tax of per cent or s20 This is a reduction Of ? Fer cent over the income tax ra-t or year ago
 In 1918. the tax on a net income of not exceeding s4.0OO was per cent. and for incomes over si.ojO, after h. personal exemption is deducted. th {, rate was T. per cent. For 1919. these rates have been reduced 70 per cent for the incomes under 5000 and to < ger cent for those over si.0O0. aftal the exemption had been deducted
 There :s no change in the surtax, which IS aa additional tax paid on ne; incomes Of over s5.030. This is a gradua,ea tax and it not known much O. " the average wage ea-aer.
 Additional Fsymen,
 Those possessing 8 ne; income be- tween sj.Cno and s60oO must pay an aidit.cna! tax 0. l per cent: those having net income of from sG.o01 to ss.1o0 are required to pay per cent extra tax, and so on up to per cent for aa income between s12.Oo0 end sl40)0. The sur;ax climbs higher as Jae net income grows up to sIO0,. GOO.
 Income ;sx reports are required of all single persons whose net income for the year was s1oO0 and over. and married persons whose net income was s2.OG0 CT more
 Husband and Wife
 In the event the husband and wife have incomes. II is permissible for them tc make the income report as one person or separate them.
 In addition to the exemption men. toned above for married and singi2 persons, husband and wife. if living apart, is allowed an exemption O: sl.oeo.
 Where the husband and wife live together. they are not granted more than enc exemption of s2.o00.
 in the event they make individual tax returns, the personal exemption may be taken by one, or il may be divided between them.

THE BRAND" By Rex Beach
REX BEACH
V|SUALIzES
ALASKA IN
1.-THE BRAND

Rex Beach's newest photo drama
is "The Brand" presented by Cold
win at the Royal Theatre next Satur-
day and Sunday, and in 1t the dis
tinguished author returns to the
field in which he has won his greatest
success-the Alaskan country. With
a cast which includes Russell Simp-
son, Robert McKim and Kay Laurell,
famous beauty of the Ziegfeld "FoI-
ies," the play relates an absorbing
story. 1t concerns Dan McGill, who
comes back to civilization after some
years spent as hermit in the heart
of the Yukon country. Once poor, he
is now rich and his discovery starts
a boom twon. Among the wasters
and derelicts who drift there is Bob
Barclay, a gambler, and a woman.
With them IS child. Barclay forces
the woman to flaunt herself in the
dance hall and in this evil atmosphere
the child is growing up.
A chance encounter brings McGill
face to face with the woman. Her
tawdry finery does not disguise her.
He recognizes his wife, cast off years
before when McGill drove her out
into the storm with her lover, Bar
clay. She begs McGill to help her
to get away from Barclay and when
her husband refuses to interfere she
leads him to the sleeping child. This
does not sway McGill. What the
woman says to him then releases
torrent of fury and brings about a
typical Rex Beach climax.

Hot Blast Of Volcanoes.

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de-
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
of st. Pierre during the eruption of
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption of
Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption Of Taal,
Sakurajima, etc., derived it's heat from
the sudden compression of the air sur
rounding the volcano, and not from
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words. it was not, according to
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc-
ton, but the dynamic heating of the
air attending the propagation. of the
explosion wave.

BY CLOSE MARGIN
Normal School Budget)

By decision of 8 to 2 the Clionian
Literary Society won over the Athene-
UNI Society Tuesday in the last round
of inter-society contests which have
been held during the present school
year. Since the Atheneums upheld
the affirmative and the Clionians, the
negative, it was decided (but not for
all time) that the government should
not own and control the operation of
the natural resources. The Athen-
cum debaters were Agnes Aas, Eva
Barr and Samuel Settevig. The Gil
oman debaters were Adele Finley,
Grace Drexler and Florence Fitzger-
aid. For individual work Miss Adele
Finley was given first place and Miss
Agnes Aas received second place.
The judges were Miss Amanda label,
II, Mrs. J. w. Rodewald, George A.
Codding, 'O8, Atty. NJ. j. Englert and
Mr.. K. C. Schmidt.
The debate on the whole was quite
we'll handled and some of the points of
discussion were very we'll arranged.
There were some surprises" which
are to be expected in contests of this
kind. Every contestant can feel that
he or she has received valuable train
ing in persevering to the very end.
