Begin Campaign To Enforce
Compulsory Education Law

Aberdeen. Jan. 26.-A campaign to
enforce the provisions OF the South
Daokta Americanization law, more
generally known as the compulsory
education law, is being made by State
Sheriff John ]. Shanks, who was In
the city today en- route to Leola and
Eureka in Mcpherson county from
where complaints have come that the
Law is being largely ignored.
Sheriff Shanks said that he thought
It likely he would make some arrests
in that county and that he might find
Il necessary to investigate conditions
in other counties In the northern part
of the state before he returns to
Pierre.
The compulsory education bill pro-
yides:
"AIl persons between the ages or
1e and II years inclusive, who are not
physically or mentally disqualified
and who do no. possess the ability 10
speak, read and write the English lam
| guage, as is required for the compile
ton Of the fifth grade in the public
! schools OF this state, shall attend pub
lie evening school classes for at least
eight hours of each week during tina
entire time that evening school class
es OF the proper grade shall be In
session, In the school within
five miles OF his or hei place OF resi-
dence or until necessary ability has
been acquired; provided that regular
] attendance at a public day or part
time school shall be accepted in place
OF attendance at evening school class
es.
A stiff penalty is provided for VIOLA
ton Of the act. Upon each conyic-
tion Of violation OF the law a fine OF
not less than SIS nor more than 800
shall be imposed and confinement in
Jail for not less than ten or more than
thirty days or both such fine or Inn
prisonment shall be the sentence OF
the court. The law also provides that
the parents or guardian Of the person
affected by the law shall be response

MILLER SOUTH DAKOTA. THURSDAY, JANUARY a9 1910
BETTER SCHOOLS
FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
More Rural School News Would Bene-
fit Better School Campaign

The December number of Rural Ed
ucation published by the Northern
Normal and Industrial School at Alb
erGeen contained an article by Paul
W. Kieser on the importance of sub
hitting school news to local papers,
In which he correctly asserts that:
South Dakota editors want more
and better school news
South Dakota educators want bet
ter rural schools.
More and better school news in the
rural press Of the state will aid in
c~alculably in bringing better schools
to every community in the state.
Mr. Kieser believes that q under
standing has. in the past, prevented
the cordial cooperation which should
obtain between the rural press and
teacher. The teacher thought the edi-
tor didn't want to bother with little
school items; the editor thought the
teacher wasn't interested enough to
hand them in. And IL the teacher did
hand some In. they may have been
so,ne Of the silly kind written up by
pupils. or they may have been written
Up as articles and not as new items;
there's quite a difference.
There has been more effort on the
par, OF the editors to cooperate with
the schools than there has been on
the part OF the teachers to cooperate
with the press for the betterment of
conditions In the community.
If the teacher were only made to
realize how easily she could get bet
ter buildings, better equipment, bet
ter salary, just by spending a little
time each week writing these thought
provoking, acknowledging little
school news notes, then the better
schools campaign would certainly
flourish. AS |. is there is more news
In most of our rural papers concern
ing John Browns cattle and swine
.hnn there is about his boy and his
girl in the little country school.

MANY REDS ARE
TO BE DEPORTED
Officers State They Have @Perfect
Cases. Against 5000 Radicals

Washington, Jan. 26.--Approximatc-
ly 5000 of the $500 aliens taken into
custody during recent nationwide
roundups of radicals are perfect
cases for deportation as n result OF
Secretary w. B. Wilson's decision that
the communist and communist labor
parties are ~revoluntary within the
meaning of the deportation law. J. ID.
Hoover. special assistant to Attorney
General A. M. Palmer. in charge OF
prosecutions, said today.
Such cases are perfect" Mr.. Hoov-
err said, in that it will be necessary
only for agents OF the department OF
Justice to present the aliens member
ship card in either party m make out
proof OF deportation. = u OF the
other 500 or 600 alien wS9sa member
ship cards were not sliced at the time
of the raids, Mr.. Hoover said 1t was
believed their membership could be
proved by other evidence.
Deportation hearings and the shir-
ment of reds from this country viii
be pushed rapidly, Mr.. Hoover de-
clared. Second, third and as many
other soviet arks jas may be necessary
Will be made ready as the convictions
proceed, he said, and actual deporta-
tions will not wait for the conclusion
OF all the cases.
While about three-fourths OF the
aliens taken in the raids were Rus
slams, many other nationalities were
among the number. including Ger
mans. Austrians, Hungarian, Lithu-
~anians, Let's, Firms and Chinese.
The warrant prepared for the arrest
of Ludwig C. A. X Martens, "ambas-
sador." of the Russian soviet govern
ment. Mr.. Hoover said. would be serv-
ed when Martens was released by the
senate subcommittee investigating
bo,sheviki propaganda in this coun-
fry. Z

FIGURE YOUR
INCOME TAX
Returns Must Be In BY March Is,
Forms Now Being Distributed

The federal income tax season has
opened, with the distribution of the
forms for personal returns from the
Offices Of the collector of internal re-
venue, Aberdeen. South Dakota.
From now until the bell rings on
the night of March 10. the annual re-
turns 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 obliga-
tion 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 incocme for 1919, figured ac-
ccrding TO the Revenue Law, was suf-
ficient in amount to require a return.
Is he is single, a return is required
if his net income for 1919 was s. 1000
or over. A widow or widower is class
ed as a single person. a man or wo-
4 living apart from his wife or
husband is also classed as a single
person.
IL he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 81, a return is re-
CURED IL his net income for 1919 was
$4,000 or over. In his net income one
must include that of his wife and min
or children, II any.
II 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 du e. At least
one quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight of March 18th. or be
is classed as a delinquent an Is sub
jet to severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed for
personal returns. Form 1040A is in
tended for use by a person whose net
income does not exceed $4,000. A
larger form, 1040, rs intended for each
person having a net income in excess
OF $4,000. Both of these forms are
now obtainable at internal revenue Of
fees and at some banks and postof-
ices.
1t is urged by the Internal Revenue
bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once Failure to have a
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 fol-
preparing and filing the return, and
these 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 preserv-
ed by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case,
should bring such matters to the at
tention of the nearest deputy collect
or of evenue agent, n will render
c;ery necessary aid without charge.
When the return is completed, II
c..lould be properly executed and inn
mediately filed. Any internal revenue
officer will administer the necessary
oath without charge.
1t is pointed out that accuracy in
compiling the return is absolutely ne
cessary. Mere guesses and estimates
as to income and deductions should be
avoided, and actual facts and amounts
should be set forth And this is equal

That all is not harmony in the o

farewell in a letter published in the
Carson Press. He is the eighth man
who has been employed by the league
newspaper and all have left disgust
ed or worse" according to the Press.
Mr.. Smiths letter is as follows:

During the short time I have been
a resident of Carson, / have enjoyed

every American citizen should bear
for such individuals.
ITO you, who desire to be socialists,
anarchists, communists. bolshevists or
red flag followers of any name, ! bid
adieu. l wash my hands of any con-
nection with your nefarious plots.
Some Of you would be prime candi-
