BOY Is SEVERELY BURNED
BY ELECTRIC CURRENT
Jay Chatterton Gets Shock when Hay
Derrick Comes in Contact with
Power Line

"A most serious. accident occurred
Monday forenoon at the j. H. Martin
ranch just south of Richland.
| A new hay derrick which had inst
| been completed was standing beneath
the Wire carrying power for the p. p
q L. Co. 1t was believed that the
upright was completely clear of the
wire and Mr.. Martin was busy oilino
the. gears when his little nephew. law
Chatterton of Portland, who was here
on visit, took hold of the cable and
swung around, with the result that a
circuit was formed thru his body when
the cable struck the wire. The little
fellow, who is only II years old, was
thrown over nearby barb wire fence
and terribly burned thru the body, arm
and hand. His cousin, Jack Martin.
tried repeatedly to remove the uncon.
scious child from the wire, but was
knocked senseless himself and suffer-
ed several bad burns.
After trying twice Mr.. Martin f.
nally removed the child to a place of
safety receiving several bad shocks
himself.
A doctor was called to attend the
little fellow and advised that he be
taken to Portland Immediately as it
was impossible to Judge the extent of
the internal burns at that time. How
ever, it is believed that he will recover. !.
Mrs. Martin is Frustrated at the
shock as her little nephew, who had
never been on farm before, was such
an interested helper in all the ranch
activities that the terrible accident
comes as q decided blow to his rela.
tives as well as to the many friends
he has made while visiting in Rich
land.
Jack Martin took him to Portland |
Monday night.

nue. officers. Section so4. Of the reve-
y act of 1913 provides that on and
after May 1, 1919 the tax of 10 per
cent shall be levied and collected on
luxuries, including many kinds of ex-
pensive articles In daily use. In the
sale Of thes. articles the dealer acts
as a collection agent for the govern
;rcnt. Other taxes are paid in the
form of stamps.
Zone Of the reasons for the falling
on in the receipts Of income and ex-
cess profits taxes this year was the de-
duction which the tax payer made for
sums which he paid to the govern
ment for luxury, proprietary and other
taxes. Here Is an illustration: Let US
say that a man takes his wife to- the
theater twice a week. He pays Sc each
time he goes for two tickets. The tax
on each Of the seats is 80 cents. On
four seats q week he pays $1.20 and
in one year $62.40. He Is privileged to
DEDUCT that from his net income be-
fore computing his income tax. The
same rule would apply to any other
tax he may have paid to the govern
lnent during, the year. A person. how
ever, is required to prove that he ac-
tually expended the one for lux
uries II n question Is raised on his
return. There have been comparative
ly} few, attempts at evasion. In fact,
the amount received by this office in
luxury and other taxes is a monument
to the honesty Of the majority of the
people of this great city,"

fact is that the steadiest tax. and one
which is least felt by the public and

luxury impost. The poorer chap who

more than does the rich youth who

it as the item is SO small as compared

Telephone Equipment Shortage
Is Becoming Serious

There is a worldwide scarcity Of raw materials, especially
wood, paper and metals. These products arc very csscntial. in
the manufacture Of telephone supplies.
This shortage of material, in addition to the steadily
increasing demand for telephone service, is making it impos-
sible for the factories to meet promptly the need for telephone
instruments, wire, switchboard parts, and other equipment.
Every effort is being made to take care of the telephone re-
quirements of our patrons as quickly as possible, but because Of
existing conditions we may not be able to change or install
equipment without considerable delay.
Please let us know as far in advance as possible when you
want a telephone installed or if a change in your equipment lis
desired.
