THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

In his first annual message to the
general assembly Governor Cooper
covered the States needs for lcgisla-
tion very thoroughly. His laying of
particular stress upon the need for
re-su"Vey of the counties in order
that many tax dodgers may be COM
pcllcd to pay their share of the COM
monwealth's expenses shows that he
is alive to South Cardinals greatest
drawback. At this time when vast
sums of money arc necessary for road
building and school Improvement the
burden should fall upon the shoulders
cf those that derive the greatest BEN
eft from the expenditures of public
funds Every land owner in the
State is benefited by every public i'm
rrovcmcnt and benefited i- proyor-
ton the number OF acres he owns. 1t
Is unthinkable that some of the larg-
est frccholdcrs of the State, either
by intention, neglect or improper
laws are practically exempt from tax
alton. Such a condition naturally
throws the burden upon those who do
not attempt to escape just taxation
and is unjust, unfair and works to the
dctrimcnt of the State and it's citi-
Zcns. This measure should receive
the support OF every Legislator, and
It's opponents, IL it should have any.
can only avoid suspicion by first
showing that they are not proiiting by

ABOUT INCOME TAX RETURNS

The Federal Income Tax Season
has opened with the distribution OF
the forms 70! personal returns from
the office Of Of the Collector Of In
tcrnal Revenue, ID. G. Hcyward
From now on until the bell rings
on the night Of March the 18th, the
annual returns covering income fo}
1915 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 on the shoulders
Of those who are American citizens
or residents. Every person must de-
tcrmine for himself whether his ncf
income for 1919, figured according
to the Revenue Law, was sulicicn
IN amount to require Il return. If h,
IS single, return is required if his
net income for 1919 was 81 900 o
over. \ widow or WidUWcr is ciaSScC
as single person. y man or woman
living apart from his wifi" or husban,
is also clasScd as q singic person.
he was married and living with hi
wife on December 81, return is rc
qulrcd if his net income for 1919 wa.
$4,000 or over. In his net incOm,
ne must include that of his wife an,
minor children, if any.
If tax is due on his income, he
must make payment with his return
This payment may be made in Who'll,
or in part Of the tax due. AT lcas
one quarter Of the tax must accompa
ny his return. The filing and payint
must be done before midnight oi
March 18th, or he is classcd as a de
lnqucnt and is subject to severe pen
alties.
1t is urged by Internal Revenue
Bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once. Failure to have a
blank form at hand from 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 these should be carefully read
and strictly observed.
There is provided work sheet"
which should be used for making the
original computations, and which
should be retained and preserved by
the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on the
point affecting his particular case,
should bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the nearest deputy collector
or Revenue Agent, who will render
every necessary aid without charge.
When the return is completed, it
should be properly executed and inn
mediately filed. Any Internal Reve-
nue. Officer will administer the neces-
sary oath without charge.

WE'RE NOT FEELING
WELL OURSELVES

1t is said that Congress is consider
ing the advisability Of enacting a
law whereby the Government may
purchase several million barrels of
whiskey that is now marooncd in
bonded warehouses. The Govern
ment would then issue stocks to be
used for medicinal purposes only in
case of epidcmics of Influenza, snake
bite, chlls and fever and various
other ailments and afilictions for
which John Barlcycorn has repu-
tation for allcviating. While as yet
snake-bitc has not become epidemic,
it is more than likely that under
stress of such induccment, it would
break forth violently IL many com
mt;i:i.ics
In suggesting methods Of distri-
button to such members Of Congress
that have the matter under consider
alton, The Charlotte News has this to
say:
We havn't seen the details of the
plan, but the government is financial
ly able, of course, to make the trans
action and it could formulate some
definite scheme for the dispcnsation
of the goods; for instance, it might be
decided to allow each Senator and
Congressman to have his proprotion-
ate share of the liquor for use in
their respective districts, the amount
allowed them to be determined by the
population of their constituencies.
The amount Of liquor that the govern
ment would buy would run up to sew
eral million barrels, we are told, and
by giving each Congressman and each
Of the Senators their proportionatc
number of these barrels, it might be
that in some emergency they might
split pint with some patient from
their district. OF course, if this plan
is finally agreed upon, it would be
useless to try to have any more ses-
sions of Congress until the several
millions barrels OF whiskcy were dis
posed of, not only because the dis
pensers would be SO continually be.
slegcd by the people of their res
pective districts who were not we'll.
but for other reasons also, too NUM-
erous as well as too plain to mention
