Mc- cartney, Chicago lawyer, in his capacity as a taxpayer today filed in the district supreme court to compel Secretary of State Colby to immediate. ly promulgate the joint resolution of Congress, declaring at an end the state of war with Germany. Mir. Mccartney based his suit on the ground that the President has no veto power over a joint resolution.
 The peace resolution has been a law, the plaintiff contended, since it's pass age on May 21. Harry J. Bryan iden- tified the papers as "editor of laws" of the state department. also was made a defendant on the ground that the actual publication of all laws was his duty.
 Failure of the defendants to publis ' the alleged law MT Mccartney claimed has resulted in a confused condition which is potent with national peril and with peril to the public comfort morale and the normal pursuit of pa triotic ideals of the people of the adversely affected, it was alleged, the United States. Trade also has been resulting loss reaching every Ameri- ican household.

be an easier task the bureau points
out, than if delayed.
The requirements of the revenue
act relating to returns for the year
1920 are the same as those for the
the year 1919: Every single person
whose net income was $4,000 or more
must file a return. The exemptions
$1,000 for single persons and $4,000
for married persons and heads of
families, plus an additional exemp-
ton of 5000 for each person depend
ent upon the taxpayer for chief sup
port if such person is under 1S1years
of age or incapable of self support.
A single person may claim an exemp-
ton of $1,000 as the head of a fam
lily if he is the sole support of one
or more relatives living in the same
house with him, and if he exercises
control over household affairs. De-
auctions from gross income to which
the taxpayer is entitled in arriving
at net income are fully explained in
the instructions on the forms.
The bureau is emphasizing this
year that the requirement to file a
return rest solely upon a persons

enue. Revenue officers will visit ev-
cry county in the United States to
assist in making out the forms. The
date of their arrival and the location
of their offices will be announced
through the press or may be OBJ
tanned on inquiry at offices of col
lectors of internal revenue and branch
offices. The services of government
experts heretofore offered to city
residents will be continued.
Forms for filing 1920 returns of
income will be sent by collectors to
persons who last year filed a return.
Failure to receive a formj however,
does not relieve a person from his
obligation to file return within the
time prescribed. Copies may be OBJ
tanned from offices of collectors of
internal revenue, branch offices, post
Offices and banks, and are expected
to be available on or before January
first.
Revenue officers assigned to the
work of assisting taxpayers also will
be supplied with forms, concerning
which, and the various items Of in
come to be included, they will be pre-
pared to answer any and all ques-
tons. 1t has been demonstrated,
however, that many questions may be
eliminated il the taxpayer, before
seeking assistance of a revenue Of
ficer, will carefully study the instruc-
tionst on the form.
The period for filing returns is
from January 1 to March 10, 1921.
The tax, this year as last, may be
paid in full at the time of filing the
return or in four installments, the
first of which is due on or before
March Is, the second on or before
June Is, the third on or before Sep
TENDER Is and the fourth on or be-
fore December Is. The first install
ment must accompany the filing Of
the return.
Persons whose individual net in
come for 1920 was $4,000 and less
should ask for Form 1O40 A. Those
whose individual net income was in
excess of $4,000 should ask for Form
1910.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue is
urging taxpayers not to delay in the
| fling of their returns. Merchants
and business men are casting up
their accounts for the calendar year
1920. With the facts and figures
necessary to make correct return
fresh in their minds, the making out

marital status and the amount of his
or her net income for the 1920 year.
Single persons whose net income was
81 900 or more and married persons
whose net income was $4,000 or more
must file return regardless Of
whether their incomes are non-tax-
able by reason of their exemptions.
The former tax rate for 1920 is
four per cent on the first $4,000 of
net income above the exemption, and
eight per cent on the remaining net
income. The surtax rate, which is
computed without the benefit of the
exemption, ranges from one per cent
on the amount of net income between
$4,000 and $4,000 or 65 per cent on
the amount of net income in excess
of $1,0OO,OOO.
For the information of taxpayers
in filing their returns, there has been
prepared by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue a series of short articles on
the income tax laws and 1920 regu-
lations, the first of which will appear
on January 8. Errors heretofore
made have been noted, and the tax
payer is told how this year they may
be avoided.

New Angle on Proposed
Tonnage Tax on Iron Ore
Minnesota Tax Commission Would
Have Legislation Take Place
of All Other Tax Laws.

st. Paul, Dec. 27.-If the legislat.
ure at the next session enacts a
tonnage tax law, it should be in lieu
of all other state taxes on mineral
property, the state commission rec
commended today in it's biennial re-
port to Governor Burnguist.
The commission also recommended
that the taxable value of iron ore fol
county and local purposes be reduced
from so per cent to 33 and 1-3 pei
cent Of the full and true value.
Concluding its report the commits
sion urged that the so-called tonnage
tax questions should be settled ii
some way with reasonable assur
ance Of permanency". Isl
millions of dollars of capital have
already been invested in the mining
industry and millions more will bt
invested in the future" the report
said.
'There is grave danger of serious
lily discouraging further investment:
in mining enterprises in our state,
said the report, eff the people wht
are making Investments in develop
ing the mining industry are made tt
feel that the methods of taxing then
may be changed perhaps. before they
begin to receive returns"
The effect of any change in the
taxing system on iron ore should bt
carefully considered and any pro
posed laws SHOULD be framed in {
spirit of absolute fairness and JUS
tice economically and industry, tx
every section and every interest Of
our state,' the report urged.
The commission said it would moi
be practical or expedient to substi
tute a net profits tax for the ac
volorum tax.
