How to Fiaure Income.

How to Figure Income.
The best way to find out whether
one must file a return is to get a Form
10f0A and follow the instructions
printed on it, That form will serve as
a reminder of every item of income,
and if a return is due it tells how to
prepare and file it,
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, person may secure free
advice and aid from the nearest Inter
nal Revenue office.
Guesswork. estimates and other hit
Or-misS methods are barred when per-
son is making out his Income Tax re-
turn. Accuracy and completeness must
be insisted upon. The return is
sworn statement AS such it must be
thorough; and accurate.
Salaried persons and wage earners
must ascertain the actual compensation
received Overtime bonuses, shares in
the profits of a business, value of quar-
ters and board furnished by the en-
p0yer and other items which are com.
pensatiOns for services must be in
cIuded
1t must be borne in mind that COM
pensation may be paid in other forms
than in cash. A bonus paid in Liberty
Bonds is taxable at the market value
of the bonds. A note received in pay
ment for services is taxable income at
its face value, and the interest upon
it is also taxable.
n+nar Do+trro~ n,a
Every partnership doing business in
the United States must file a return
or Form 1865; and every personal
service corporation must file a similar
return.
Corporations must file annual re-
turns on Form 1120.
Trustees, executors, administrators
and others acting in a fiduciary capac-
ity are required to file returns In
some cases. Form 1041 is used; in
others, Form 1040 and still others,
returns on both forms are required.
Information returns, on Forms 1909
and 1896 must be filed by every or
ganization, firm or person who paid,
during 1919, an amount of $1,000 in
salary, wages, interest, rent, or other
fixed or determinable income to an
other person, partnership, personal

throat would permit he somehow at

The man he found was a sheep
herder looking for some of his flock
that had strayed from the others. He
agreed to take a message to McGill
for the pilot and relay it to Ely to be
telegraphed to Reno. Eaton returned
to his plane. Late in the afternoon
he saw another speck on the horizon
then another. Gradually they as
sumed the form of airplanes and he
knew he was safe. The planes had
been sent from Reno and carried
mechanics to repair the plane in
which Eaton had so nearly lost his
life. But more than that, they car
ried food, and Eaton wanted food
more than rescue from the desert
just then. Eaton was taken to Elko,
a station on the air mail route, and
from there he went to Salt Lake, re-

IDAHO'S COMPENSATION LAW
UNEXCELLED SAY OFFICIAL

BOISE.-Idaho's workmen's com.
pensation law and it's administration
by the industrial accident board are
not excelled by those of many states,
declares George H. Fisher, member
of the board, who attended the recent
annual international convention OF
industrial boards in San Francisco.
Representatives of the federal board
and those Of nearly all the states and
Canadian provinces were present, to
the number of more than 100.
Tho not prominently an indus
trial state, and therefore having but
a fraction Of the number of industrial
accidents of some of the larger states
Idaho's experience has contributed
some valuable lessons in practice and
system of administration, Mr.. Fisher
says, and the law itself is as nearly
ideal as most of them.

MAIL PILOT HAS
THRILLING ESCAPE
Aviator Forced to Land
in Midst of Nevada
Desert

RENO, Nev.-Two entire days and
nights in the Nevada desert without
food and only the rusty water from
his radiator as a possible means Of
quenching his thirst-that was the
experience of John l.. Eaton, aerial
mail service pilot, who was rescued
after he had managed to send a tele-
gram giving his position to air mail
service officials here. The story of
Eaton's forty-eight hours in the
desert was told here by two army
flyers who were the first to reach
him after his message had been re-
ceived here.
Eaton's forced landing was at a
point forty miles west of McGill, a
little desert community, the home of
a few struggling sheepherders. But
Eaton did not know that the desert
town was forty miles east of him.
Had he known he would have
reached it, for he walked more than
that distance in the opposite direc-
ton, going deeper and deeper into
desert as he walked and unknow-
ringly leaving all hope of finding hui
man habitation behind. After a
days struggle thru the desert sand
without food and with only the little
water he had drawn from his radia-
tor and carried with him, Eaton
turned about and retraced his steps
to his abandoned plane. He reached
1t and determined to "stay with the
ship" tho there was little hope of
rescue. On the third morning just
at daylight Eaton saw speck on the
eastern horizon. 1t was just a
speck, but it moved. The flyer
struggled towards it. The speck
took human form--it was a man.

command to bring to justice all who
seek to defraud the people who pa
triotically assisted in winning the
war by investing their savings in

Scores of swindlers have been
caught by the secret service thru the
aid of postmasters who have de-
tected changes made as to ownership
of War Savings Stamps or certifi-
Gates. Under the law it is not per-
Missile for a person to hold War
Savings Certificates of any one series
in a sum exceeding $1,000. Dis
covery of larger amounts in the pos
session of some swindlers has led
investigators in many instances to
hiding places for stolen stamps and
bonds.
Chief Moran said great deal of
the traffic carried on by dishonest
persons who made victims of bond
holders has been broken up by the
secret service, but that crime in this
direction still continues, despite the
vigilance Of the secret service.

! ,WASHINGTON.-"War prosperity
opened the gates for swindlers, and
in get-rich-quick schemes of varied
kind, Americans have been fleeced of
hard-earned cash running high into
the millions, with the heaviest losses
falling upon that Woodworking ele-
ment least able to sustain them"
Chief w. II. Moran, of the United
States secret service, today thus
briefly diagnosed the money mania"
of get-rich-quick schemers. Chief
Moran said that the doings of ad-
venturers of the type of Charles
Ponzi of Boston and other "fakers"
who have operated upon less extern
sive and slightly different lines, find
rs prompting motive the desire to
get something for nothing"

had anything to do, as it is largely
a matter for the post office depart
ment to handle, SO far as it affects
violation of postal regulations. Hav-
ing had no official connection with
the case, / would not discuss his
methods. But with the operations of
get-rick-quick promoters operating
along slightly different lines I am
perfectly familiar.
"T'he food of money turned loose

gantic scale. Operations of the un-
scrupulous, particularly traffickers

said.
"Scalpers fleeced innocent, victims
of millions of dollars thru dishonest
traffic in Liberty bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps and certificates, before
+ government agents curbed their OPP
erations," Mr. Moran declared. 1.-THE
traffic has not been entirely stamped
out, but our forces have reduced it
to minimum by eliminating some Of
the markets for the sale of such
securities. .pxs
lone of the most disreputable
types of promoters includes the oil or
mining stock swindler who exchanges
stock not worth the paper on which
it is written and takes in return
4 Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Stamps or certificates. Such un-
scrupulous persons have taken the
entire country for their field Of OPP
erations and some of the promoters
almost defy detection, SO smooth are
the methods employed.

HARD TIMES FACE
BRITISH PEOPLE
Ranks Of Unemployed
Grow; Reaction From
Postwar Prosperity
BY EARLE c. REEVES,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent

/ LONDON, Oct. S.-England i.
drawing in it's belt for a hard winter
There are manifest signs of the reac
ton from the furry of postwar pros
parity predicted recently by Otto H
Kahn, the banker, on his return to
New York from tour of Europe.
The signs are here, many of them
intangible as yet, but some are only
too concrete.
There are 100000 unemployed ex-
soldiers still, despite all the efforts
of various. organizations to place
these men who have won the best
consideration of the nation.
Now and again appear reports of
small plants closed down or larger
ones cutting down their stats.
In the city the market muddles
along, held in the deadly dizziness
that accompanies uncertainty of out
look.
From Manchester and Liverpool,
the industrial and shipping centres,
come reports of pessimism. Business
is stagnant compared to the level of
sales few months ago.
Such bits as these tell the story of
Britain's first realization of a bad
winter in prospect. Another sign
that is always sure is the discussion,
in column lengths, in certain news
papers, of expansion of certain road
building schemes to relieve the pres
ent and anticipated unemployment.
We are familiar in America with the
initiation of such movements. They
generally accompany the first signs
of what we know as panic years"
This winter" says the Daily
News, 1--WE are in for bad time,
which will be rendered much worse
from the fact that wages have been
giving a mad lead to the cost of liv-
ing since the armistice was signed.
Cost of living, as might be expected,
retains an easy lead and is going to
play a big part in the economic
aspect o. the troubles that are now
ahead"
There has been no visible break
here in the steady climb in the cost
of living. The widely advertised
crash in the cost Of such things as
clothing in America two or three
ago raised hopes that the
turning had arrived here. But the
official cost of living figures of two
succeeding months showed the usual
to z per cent increase over the
month previous.
Capital is beginning to turn. Dur
ing the period when foreign and do
nestle trade seemed able to stand
price increase, wage demands were
net, after the usual pickering, with !
wage increases. Today many manu-
'acturers with an eye on, the order
books are ready to stand and fight. !

Ill kinds but manufacturers claim

world market will stand has been
cached, and that they will close
