Office of Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue.. Kansas City, Mo, January 10,
1920.
The Federal Income Tax season
opens today, with the distribution of
/ the forms for personal returns from
the offices of Collector of Internal
, Revenue George +. Crutchley.
From now until the bell rings on
the night of March 10, the annual
returns covering income for 1919 will
be figured out and filed by citizens
and residents, together with payments
Of tax due.
The burden OF fulfilling this obli-
CATION is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders Of those who are American
citizens or residents. Every person
must determine for himself whether
his net income for 1919, figured ac-
cording to the Revenue Law. was suf-
| fiCient in amount to require return.
If Single Person
II he is single, a return is required
If his net income for 1919 was $1,000
| or over. A widow or widower is
classed as a single person. A man
or woman living apart from his wife
or husband is also classed as a single
person.
If he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 81, return is re-
quired if his net income for 1919 was
$4,000 or over. In his net income he
must include that of his wife and
minor children, if any.
If tax is due on his income, he
must make payment with his return.
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least
one quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight of March Is, or he is
classed as a delinquent and is subject
TO severe penalties.
The Two. Forms
TwI forms are being distributed for
personal returns. Form 1O4OA is in
tended for use by a person whose net
income does not exceed $4,000. A
larger form, lO4O, is intended for
each person having a net income in
excess Of $4,000. Both Of these forms
are now obtainahle at Internal Reve-
nue. offices and at some banks and
post offices.
1t is urged by the Internal Revenue
Bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once. Failure to have
blank form at hand for an eleventh
hour return will not relieve a person
of penalty for failure to comply with
the law.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return. and
those should be carefully read and
strictly observed.
There is also provided a work
sheet" which should be used for max
ing the original computations and
which should be retained and pre-
served by the taxpayer.
If You Are In Doubt
Any person who IL in doubt on
points affecting his particular case,
should bring such matters to the at
tention Of the nearest deputy collec-
tor or revenue agent, who will rem
der every necessary aid without
charge.
When the return is completed. il
should be properly executed and i'm
modiatey filed. Any Internal Reye-
nue. officer will administer the neces-
sary oath without charge.
1t is pointed out that accuracy in
compiling the return is absolutely
necessary. Mere Guesses and esti-
mates as TO income and deductions
should be avoided, and actual facts
and amounts should be set forth. And
this is equally important in consid-

LOVE IN THE AUTO

The way the lads love the lssses
IN automobiles is rather shocking
10 the older folks who used to do
their counting in a buggy or while
STROLL nR in the moonlight. The
other night we saw a girl lolling un-
hlu,hinoly in a fellows arms on the
back seat of an automobile as il
ro.ed up Main street. The top
was down and the bright street
lights brought the %spooning couple
'.'o plain view OF the people on the
6 dewalks. Many were the jibes
and jeers hurled at the lovers who
MADE a spectacle OF their embraces.
4 fellow who really cares for a
girl would not submit her to sucn IN
srlts and 4 girl who had any res
pect for herself would not permit a
man to hold her up TO ridicule. You
cannot ride in any direction after
DARK without running nto these
sroonirg couples in automobiles and
one wonders What has become of
the old fashioned girl who held her
SELF above this cheap hugging in pub
lie They do not seem to care for
The glare that often reveals their
identity to the passerby, but snuggle
all the closer as the spotl eht points
them out. There is nothing more
thrillinc than 70 cuddle yonr girl to
your side, but for heaven sake don't
make her look cheap and common to
every rowdy that passes you on the
road. And take il from us, girls,
he man who holds you up to ridi-
cric and chcanens YOU in this way
VIII never respect you.

NEW ASSISTANTS

While fhcre has been a great deal
Of discussion as TO who some of the
assistants OF the incoming state OF
iicials Will be, the fact IS that very
few Of them have yet been definitely
selected, and while most Of those
new III the positions VIII continue,
UIiy a few of those TO be changed
have been decided upon.
One Of the exceptions is the defin-
tie selection OF Miss Edith WilemaT,
by Secretary Manuel Martinez. Miss
Wileman was recognized as one Of
the best business stenographerS IN
The state before she ever held a
political position, and during the past
five or six years that she held posi-
tions in the Capitol her services have
always been al a premium by DIFF
tereut departments which has caEs-
ed her 10 shift several times. the
last shift being two years ago when
she went into the Secretary office
as a stenOgraphcr, but wa imme-
dLatciy assigned 10 the important
task Of supervising the collection OF
automobile licenses which is q big
position IN itecl'. and which is now
bringing INTO the state road fuad H.
zee OF S2000J per year Mss
Milcman has proved herself an able
executive IN this division of the Sec
retary's department and has held the
expense of operating down 10 about
ten per cent, OF about one hall Of
what it costs IN most other states.
Her promotion is a credit 10 NJ,
MARTINEZ and a demonstration OF
good judgment as well as an az
sLranCe to the people Of the state
that the details Of his office will Be
well and properly handled during the
NEXT two years as they have been
during the term just about to clos.
Another Assistant which We IN
derstand has been definitely dcjer
mined upon is the selection OF Earl
T. Wiley by Auditor elect +. l..
Stafford. to continue IN his present
position, which amounts 10 chief &C
cnuutant Tor the state regardless OF
what it may be called.
Mr.. Wiley is a careful and accurate
accountant and the disbursement of
the state funds through the auditors
office of which he has complete
clerical charge, could not be placed
