ing the order of determination, and
shall become a part of the record
which shall be submitted to the
court as provided by law.
The principal reasons for the en-
gineers determination to take this
step are:
l. The fact that Italian ranchers
along the lower part Of the river
are prepaing to bring suit against
water users higher up in an effort
to get more water.
2 Threatened litigation because OF
opposition to the Springmeyer APP
plication for permission to change
the point of use.
8, That titles may be cleared with
regard to water available for storage
purposes
4. Under the supreme court de
cisio handed down few weeks ago
in the Scossa case it is necessary for
the court to issue an original de
cree covering the facts before an
adjudication is finally valid 1t is
claimed, that the the matter now
stands no adjudication has been ac.
complished along this river,~ as the
findings made about IS years. ago
by A. F.. Chandler have never been
passed on by the court.
The state engineer has announced
that it will be unnecessary for users
to appear or make any further show
ing in the case if they are willing to
have the water distributed as under
the Chandler findings.-Carson News.

NOBODY IS EXEMPT
FROM INCOME TAX

There are no privileged charac-
ters. no distinctions, in the per.
sonal income tax. Everybody liv.
Ing in the United States, whether
citizen or alien, is subject to this
law.
In order to be practicable keep
the wheels from becoming clogged
with useless records-the law
does not require annual returns of
the very small incomes. The be-
ginning is at $1,000 for an unmar-
ried person and $4,000 for mar
ried couple.
Certain kinds Of income are ex-
empt, but this fact does not re-
lieye anybody of responsibility
with respect to his taxable In
come.
The law puts burden squarely
on the shoulders of each OF us
we must individually figure out
our own liability for a return and
a tax.
