SERVICE MEMS
INCOME TAX

"A little item tucked away in the
directions for making an income tar
return makes plain that service
man discharged during 1919 must
pro-rate his exemption according to
the number Of months he existed as q
civilian. II he was released on July
l his exemption would only be $500.
II he made more than 1888 per
month as a civilian then he has an
income tax to pay.
During the time man served in
the u. s. military forces he was ex-
empt from income tax up to almost
$500 a month. But the minute he
became a civilian it dropped to
1898 q month. At the same time
he had to buy complete new outfit
of clothes and other necessary
articles under a system of luxury tax
that with prices inflated generally,
made nearly everything he bought a
luxury.
But along with losses incident to
his becoming a citizen again the
soldier regained his vote. 1t Is a

To any man today who is fortunate
enough to be making living it must
seem that he is doing quite bit to
help Uncle Sam finance the war of
1918. Paying ones income tax
brings to smarting consciousness
every little significant luxury tax and
every item of absurdly high cost that
has touched his pocketbook these
many dreadful months.
( To the soldier dismissed from the
U. S. service during 1919 it must
seem thak his "bit" once considered
as performed, was only timid be-
ginner in the series of bits he had yet
to do. Formerly it was When will
the war be over?" and now it is
When will the war be paid for?"
Apparently it isbeing paid for at a
tremendous rate.

RESPECT THE STARS
AND STRIPES

Some of the folks living in the
third ward who have high rever-
ence for the United States flag are
complaining of the manner in which
the Stars and Stripes is handled by
the Irving school. Thru all sorts of
weather, night and day, that flag has
battled with the elements and abb
sorbed smoke from q nearby stack
until what is left of it looks more
like war-worn, battered remnant
than a respectable standard.
1t is better not to fly a flag lat all
than to. show one with such disre-
.spect. Negligence of the symbol can
not show reverence for that for
which it stands. u ga4 a8a'}
! The United States flag should be
run up early in the, morning when
the weather is good and taken down
each evening. If it is too much trouble
to handle it rightly where 1t is, on
the roof, perhaps it could be set up
on a pole in the yard, with lanyards
to run it up and down.. AT school is
one place where true Americanism
ought to be a major subject. r. c.

| EE ID. , s.5 rs b Il +. .A{A s.
Losses of livestock from disease
on the national forests of the inter-
mountain district during 1919
amounted to 254 head of cattle, five
horses and 1884 sheep. These fig
ures, compiled from the reports of
the forest supervisors show a de-
crease in cattle and horse losses of
10 head and an increase of $50
head of sheep over the 1918 figures.
| The heaviest individual loss was that
| of $50 head of sheep in the Hum
| boldt forest in Nevada, from blue bag
and snotty nose. elt s.n r
Poisonous plants took toll of
1928 cattle, twenty-seven horses and
5917 sheep. Slightly fewer cattle
and horses were victims of poisonous
plants in 1918, but the loss among
sheep from this cause during 1919
was very materially reduced from
that of 1918. Larkspur is the plant
which causes the greater portion of
this loss. Larkspur eradication upon
the scale contemplated proved i'm
possible last season, partly for lack
of men to supervise the work partly
because the scarcity and high cost of
labor prevented the stockmen from
cooperating extensively However,
larkspur was eradicated from 1867
acres in the nationtl forests during
the year, making a total of $3.50
acres grubbed since the work began
at cost of $3.50 per acre. The
stockmen have contributed about
half this expense. A resultant saw
ing in cattle of $4,000 annually, is
estimated, on the basis of average
previous death loss and a valuation
of $50 per animal. tE
From other and unknown causes
the ofrest officials report losses dur
ing 1919 of 1858 cattle and horses
and 1854 sheep. This represents a |
reduction from 1918 losses Of 1000 |
cattle and horses, and nearly 5000
sheep.
Predatory animals destroyed 11S |
cattle, five horses and 16,454 sheep |
on the intermountain forests. In
1918 a total of 270 cattle, three
horses and 21,S13 sheep were re-
ported destroyed by coyotes, bear,
wolves and mountain lions. Forest
service officials stat that quite sat
isfactory progress in the campaign
of predatory animal destruction
which the Biological survey, the
stockmen and the forest service, have
waged is indicated by
the forest supervisores' reports, but
that in spite Of this, predatory ami
mails still constitute one of the
worst enemies Of the intermountain
livestock industry.
