Local Amer. Legion Team
Makes Good Showing

Huron-In a fast and well played
game here last night the Miller bas-
ketball team met defeat at the hands
of the Huron Legion team by the score
OF % to 20 It was the fastest and
hardest fought game played on a HUI
ron floor this season, taking five min
utes of extra time to decide the win
ners. At the end of the first half the
score stood Is to IL in favor of Huron
at the end of the game the score was
Is to Is. Coach Martin of the locals
and Captain Schroeder then decided
to play five minutes more to decide
who would be the winner. After play
was resumed Huron made a basket in
the first minute of play making the
count 20 to is. Then Miller came
back and made one point on a free
throw making the count 10 to 20, HUI
ron made another basket and the Wis
itors got another point on a free
throw and the game was over, Huron
having the long end of a % TO 20
score.
For the visitors, Connor and Schroe-
der did stellar playing. Conner being
the largest point getter in the game.
He scored IA OF the 20 points made
by his team. Schroeder lived up to
his reputation as one of the fastest
basketball men ever seen on a Huron
floor. While only making four points
himself he was into every play and
always helping his team mates at all
times.
There weres no individual stars for
the locals. the entire team playing a
fast and snappy game.

MILLER TO HAVE
SALARIED TEAM
Miller VIII Join South Dakota Base.
ball League. Meeting To Be Held
At Redfield

Tom Rogers, President of the Boost
or Club at Huron, was in the city the
first of the week for the purpose of
organizing baseball fans here. for a
salaried ball team fer the coming
season. A meeting was called Tues
day evening in find out the attitude
of the fans concerning a salaried
team. The attendance at the meet
ing was small, so nothing was done at
that time. Later, however, it was
announced that the fans had organic
ed and had asked for membership for
Miller in the league.
The movement for the organization
of a baseball league in the state is
we'll under way. The arrangements
have been completed for a meeting
of the various cities which are sche-
duled for places in the league, to be
held at Redfeld the first week in
March.
Organizations have been perfected
at Huron, Mitchell, Aberdeen, Redfield
ami Miller. A number of other towns
including WATERFOWL, Sioux Falls and
Washington Springs, are expecting to
organize
The outlook for a league jim South
Dakota never was brighter. II is be-
lieved that baseball will have a big
year and it is well known that South
Dakota abounds in real live baseball
fans who will go to a good game any
time.
The general plans are for a six or
eight club league with a season of
approximately hundred games.
The season will open about May 80,
and close on Labor Day. Each team
will be confined to twelve players,
with a salary limit of $1,000 per
month.
A good baseball team is an asset
and advertisement for n city.
There is little doubt but what a state
league c~onservatively managed will
prove a success.

INCOME TAX RE-
TURNS DUE MAR. Is
Extensions of Time VIM Be Granted
Where Additional Time Is Ur-
gently needed

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that there
will be no general extension of time
fer filing income tax returns was
made by the Bureau OF Internal Rev
enue yesterday. Complete returns ac-
companied by at least one fourth of
the amount OF tax due must be in the
hands of Collectors March Is, 1920.
Extensions will be granted only in
specific cases where urgent need for
additional time in preparing the re-
turn is shown.
LAST year, If for good and sufficient
reasons it was found impossible to
complete a return by March Is, cor
porations and individuals were per-
mitted to file on or before that date
a tentative return and we're given
an extension of ~forty-five days in
which to file a complete return. Con-
ditions which justified such extensions
last year do not exist this year.
Regulations governing the collec-
ton of the income tax have been out
for almost a year and no substantial
changes have been made in them.
Forms are now in the hands of the
Collectors of Internal Revenue for
distribution among taxpayers and
here is every reason to assume that
the taxpayers have ample time in
which to prepare and file their re-
turns by March Is
II s important hat the taxpayers
render before the return due date a
return as complete and final as 1t Is
possible for him to prepare. However
in cases of sickness or absence col
lectors are authorized to grant an *
tension of not exceeding thirty days,
where in their Judgment such further
time is actually required for the maxi
ing OF an accurate return. The appii-
cation for such extension must be
made prior to the expiration of the
period for which the extension is de-
sired. The absence or sickness of one
or more officers of a corporation at
the time the return is required to be
filed will not be accepted as a reason
able cause for failure to file the
return within the prescribed time, un-
less IL is satisfactorily shown that
there were no other principal officers
available and sufficiently informed as
to the affairs of the corporation to
make and verify the return. AS a
condition of granting an extension of
time for filing a return the collector
may require the submission Of the
tax on form 1040T in the case of in
d~ividuais, or on form iG3iT in the
case of corporations, and the payment
of one-fourth of the estimated amount
of tax. Where a taxpayer has filed
a tentative return and has failed to
file a complete return within the per-
iod of the extension requested by him
the complete return when filed is
subject to penalties prescribed for do
linquencies
# before the end Of an extension
Of thirty days granted by the collec-
tor an accurate return can not be
made. an appeal for a further extern
sion must be made to the Commits
sion of Internal Revenue with a full
recital of the aus for the delay.
The commissioner will not grant an
additional extension without a clear
showing that a complete return can
MT be made at the end of the thirty
day period.
