LANE EXPLAINS PROVISIONS
OF OIL LAND BILL

Washington, Feb. 26.-Leases oil
great value on proven oil lands are
not to be had by the mere filing
ot an application, Secretary Lane
SAID today in statement explain
ing the oil land leasing bill signed
J, -erday by the president.
Proven oil lands OF Ine govern
meat are largely covered by claims
which must be adjusted before such
lands can be leased, Mr.. Lane said,
adding that when the government
grants lease for either oil or coal
lands except under the relief Sec
ton or by permit, it will be by COM
petitlge bidding, ample notice OF
which will be given.
The only part of the act which
is self-operative, and with respect
TO which a person can take any
steps leading to the requirement of
any right, before the regulations OF
the department are issued or be-
tore the department has taken the
necessary preliminary steps to offer
the lands for lease" continued the
secretary" lis that portion which
provides for securing a preference
right for an oil prospecting permit
by posting a notice on The ground !;
and this applies only to lands not in
the geologic structure of a produc-
ing oI held. These regulations are
IN the hands of the printer and will
be issued Immediately they are off
the press.
There can be no doubt as to the
very great importance OF the legis-
lation; it marks a wide departure
in public policy 1t opens to de
velopment and use large resources
that have been virtually locked up
as result of withdrawal or made
quate laws, and will offer a means
of settling litigation that has been
pending for years, with fairness to
the litgants and the public interests.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
RETURNS UP TO CITIZENS

The Federal Income Tax season has
opened, with the distribution of forms
fJr personal returns from the offices
OF Collector of Internal Revenue at
Albuquerque, N. M.
Annual returns covering income for
1919 must be filed on or before March
18th, 1920.
The burden of fulfilling this obli-
CATION 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 income for 1919, figured ac-
cordiDg to the Revenue Law, was
sufficient in amount to require a re-
turn.
IT he is single, return is required
If his net income for 1919 was 5000
or over. a widow or widower is
classed as single person. A man
or woman living apart from his wife
or husband is also classed as a single
person.
If he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 81, a return is re-
quired il his net income for 1919 was
5000 or over. In his net income he
must include that of his wife and
minor children, il 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. At least
one quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
II E.I
he is classed as a delinquent and is
subject to severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed
for personal returns. Form 1910 A
IS intended for use by person whose
net income does not exceed $500. A
arger form, l040, is intended for
Zach person having a net income in
excess of 5000 Both of these forms
are now obtainable at Internal Rev
enue Offices and at some banks and
post offices.
1t is urged by the Internal Revenue
Bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once. Failure to have one
It hand for an eleventh-hour return
will not relieve a person of penalty
or failure to comply with the law.
Each form contains instructions for
and filing the return, and
hese should be carefully read and
trictly observed.
There is also provided a work
heet" which should be used for max
ng the original computitions, and
which should be retained and preser-
ed by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
oints affecting his particular case,
hould bring such matters to the at
cntion of the nearest Deputy Collec-
or or Revenue Agent, who will rem
er every necessary aid without any ,
barge.
When the return is completed. il ,
hoiild be properly executed and i'm ,,
lediately filed. Any Internal Reve-
ue Officer will administer the neces-
ary oath without charge. ,
1t is pointed out that accuracy in !
ompiling the returns is absolutely !
ecessary. Mere guesses and esti- J
iates as to income and deductions !
hould be avoided, and actual facts
nd amounts should be set forth
nd this is equally important in con- s
dering the question of whether a
eturn is required.
