neer stated that it mad been found that
contracts could be secured at a con
siderable lower figure on the wider

considerable less expense.

INCOME TAX SEASON is OPENED.
Married Men Allowed Exemption on
Extra ThOusand-Heavy Penal
ties for All D%elinquents.

With the distribution of forms for
the federal income tax from the office
of the collector of internal revenue at
Cheyenne, the income tax season has
been formally opened.
The burden of fulfilling this obliga-
tioh is laid by law on the shoulders
of the citizens themselves. Every per-
son must determine for himself wheth-
err his net income for 1919, figured ac-
icording TO the revenue law, was sufti-
cient in amount to require a return.
If he is single, a return is required
or over. A widow or widower is class
ed as a single person. A mar or wom-
an living apart from wife or husband
is also classed as single.
If married. and living with wife or
husband on December 81, 1919. a re-
turn is required if the net income for
the year was $1,000 or over. In n
mans net income he must include that
of his wife and minor children, if any.
If a 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, but at least
one-fourth of the tax must accompany
the return. The filing and payment
must be done before midnight of March
10, or the taxpayer Is classed as De.
linquent and is subject to severe pen
alties.
Two forms are being distributed for
personal returns, II for incomes I'M
der $1,000 and one for incomes "
that amount. Both of these forms are
obtainable at internal revenue offices,
postoffices and banks. When the re-
turn is completed, it should be proper
ly executed and Immediately filed. Any
