of the present high wholesale prices
B. l.. COLLINS-I have been in
the fruit commission business and in
the nursery business and have also
had fruit-growing experience durine
the past Is years. When I was in
business in Colorado Springs it came
to be we'll known fact that Canon
City apples were not up to standard
and could not command the price that
other apples did. They had a fine
flavor, superior to all others, but they
lacked the color and the size. Since
I moved down here 7 have found out
the reason to large extent, and that
is, the orchards are not properly
taken care of in many. many cases
have found that the orchards are not
pruned when they should be. and
have noticed some that surely have
not been touched with a pruning knife
IN nVe years. L notice many trees
covered with scab which should be
scraped off thoroughly from each tree
limb by limb. because It is under this
scab that the insect pests prolifically
grow. and the sprays do not penetrate
under the scab as a rule. I think Il
would be a good idea IL the Fremont
Horticultural Society or the Fremont
County Farm Bureau or similar or
CARNATIONS. would hold semi-monthly
or monthly meetings at which these
matters could be discussed and the
proper remedy worked out. There
is no reason in the world why Canon
City apples, with their excellent flavor
should not be the most soueht-after
on the market

AutO-Theft Law

The new auto-theft law of Colorado
will go into effect on Friday of this

better received a day or two ago by
County Clerk Jonathan Seaman from
Floyd Fairhurst. motor vehicle in
spector for the secretary of state in
Denver, will be illuminating to some
OF the readers of The Daily Record.
He says:
'In reply to your inquiry regarding
the auto-theft law will say that per-
son purchasing new car must obtain
the dealers bill of sale. but he does
not have to record this, unless he
wishes to sell the car. However, we
advise that they do so for the reason
that the transaction is then on record
and in the event the bill OF sale be-
comes lost, he can secure certified
copy Of It.

bills of sale before he sells. The

Internal Revenue
Tax Returns Filed

The time for filing income tax re-
turns in the office of Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector + w. Riggs here
closed AT - O'Clock Monday night and
a throng of peoule crowded the place
until nearly midnight
According tn Mr. Riggs the cam
paign just closed by the governments
was one of the most strenuous income
drives ever experienced by the reve
nue. department Some funny things
happened to Mr.. Riggs while collect.
ing income taxes. and everywhere. he
says. there was great ignorance as to
the exact demands and requirements
OF the revenue law. Some of his eN-
periences We're funny and some of
them perpleXing in the extreme One
or two of them he related to, the
writer Tuesday morning which we
have taken the liberty of publishing
as showing the misconception existing
in some quarters as to the meaning
OF the law
In one instance a man, representing
a small mercantile corporation, was
found to be extremely generous. After
Mr.. Riggs had figured up his income
tax, which amounted to 500 which
was based on net business return o.
a little more than $4,000 on invested
capital. he received from him few
days later draft for the ent're srr
of the firms savings during the year
plus the tax The draft was for
s2,02222. which, of course. was not
expected. Mr.. Riggs returned him
The draft and told him to keep the
$1,000 and send him S22.22. Shortly
sfterward Mr.. Riggs received a letter
from him in which he said: "YOu
saved us from bankruptcy"
In another instance man greatly
excited came to Mr.. Riggs office ac-
companied by his lawyer during the
course of big rush of business and
demanded to see the collector imme-
diately. There were 80 or 60 men
in line ahead of him, but he was so
importunate that Mr. Riggs asked him
what he wanted. He was an Aus
trian and one of the biggest individ
ual taxpayers in the community where
he lives, which is in an adjoining
county. He forced his way through
the crowd up to Mr.. Riggs desk and
exclaimed: This lawyer here has
got me charged up with a sewer tax.
and | live at least a mile from the
nearest sewer line. | am perfectly
wiling to pay any Just and fair tax.
but | be d if I pay a sewer tax"
After Mr.. Riggs had got his man
composed he explained to him that he
was charged with a sur-taX and not
sewer tax and he would have to pay
It, as sis net income was in excess
of $4,000 a year. A general laugh
followed the explanation and the mat
ter was patched up without difficulty
as soon as the income taxpayer was
able to comprehend the difference be
tween a sewer tax and sur-tax.
Mr.. Riggs says many more people
In Fremont county paid an income tax
this year than ever before, and that as
. rule they met their obligations very
eheerfully. A number of individuals
and corporations in Canon City and
Fremont county paid income taxes OF
s., 900 or more.
