Much demoralizing reading is

wants it," A mother might as ex-
cusably give her child the glistening
arsenic for which it cries. The pub
Usher bears responsibility to So
ciety like that of the preacher or
the teacher This, at any rate. is
the view OF the publishers of The
Youths Companion. From its first
issue to the present it has been a
constant force for character build
ing. And with all that it has been
so wisely edited that no publication
exists of more varied charm. more
ineXhaustible and refreshing sources
of interest.
The 80 issues of the coming year
will be crowded with serial stories,

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Frequent inquiries are received by
| collectors of internal revenue from
! stOrekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in bust
| ness for himself may deduct from
his gross earnings an amount of sal
airy paid to himself. Wages or sal
| airy drawn by taxpayer from his
own business are more in the nature
charge against profits. If deduct
able they would merely be added to
his income and the effect would be
to take money out of one pocket and
put it in another. Therefore, claims
for such deductions are not allow
able.
Salaries paid to minor children
employed in the conduct of a tax
payers business are not allowable de-
auctions. If, however, son or
daughter has attained majority, or
is allowed free use of their earnings
without restriction, a reasonable
amount paid as compensation for
their services may be claimed.
A farmer who employs a man to
assist in the operation of his farm
may deduct from gross income the
amount paid for such services. Like
wise, if he employs a woman whose
entire time is occupied in taking care
OF the milk, cream, butter and
churns, or if her services are devot-
ed entirely to the preparation and
serving OF meals furnished farm la
borers and in caring for their rooms.
! the compensation paid her is an al
| lOwable deduction. If, however, she
is employed solely in caring for the
farmers own household no deduc-
ton can be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deductions
may be made for ordinary and neces-
sary business expenses. The reve-
nue. act specifically prohibits the de-
duction of personal, family or living
expenses. Such expenses include
rent for a home, wages of servants,
cost of food and clothing for the
family, education of children "and
all items connected with the main
tenance, well-being and pleasure OF
the taxpayer and his family"

REID HAS PLAN FOR
NEW STATE, LINCOLN

j. NJ. Reid, prominent farmer of
this city. is out with proposal for q
new state to comprise parts OF
Washington, Oregon and Montana
and the Idaho Panhandle, and will
open a discussion on the subject at
the next meeting of the Farmers
Union. with a view to securing the
endorsement of the farmers for his
plan or another along similar lines,
Mr.. Reid proposes that the state be
called Lincoln and that it comprise
the following territory: all of Wash
ington east of the summit of the
Cascades; that part of Oregon in
Guided in the following boundaries
beginning at the Columbia river at
the Northwest corner of Morrow
county, 120 degrees west, then south
to As degrees north, thence east on
said line to the Snake river, includ-
ing all of that part of Oregon to the
Washington line; the Panhandle of
Idaho and all of Montana west of
the Rocky mountains.
The proposed state, Mr.. Reid
points out, would have natural
boundaries and irrigation and irriga-
ton waters would not be subject to
state line interference. The inter-
ests of the entire state would be SIM
liar. Spokane would be the natural
business center and the logical cap

RECOUNT OF BALLOTS
LEAVES NEWBERRY WINNER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-The recount
of ballots in the Michigan senatorial
election of 1918, finished today by the
senate elections committee, left Senator
Newberry, Republican, with plurality
of 4.334 over Henry Ford.
Mr.. Ford made a net gain of 1884
votes by the recount, but Senator New
berry's original plurality was 1857.
Senator Newberry lost 1860 votes in
the recount, while Mr.. Ford gained 26l.
These changes resulted chiefly from
technical irregularities in the ballots,
it was said
The senate committee recount, was
sought by Mr.. Ford, and gave Senator
Newberry 217,os5 votes and Mr.. Ford
212,751.
Senator Spencer, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, in charge of the recount, report
ed to the senate late today that the pay
of accountants aggregated $7,251.

EAGLE is COUNTY SEAT.

Our neighboring town of Eagle is
now the county seat of Eagle county,
according to the edict pronounced
Thursday afternoon by Judge Cooper
Of Canon City, who was called in to
hear the contest brought by few in
terested parties at Red Cliff, question
ing the legality of the returns of the
election, by which it was decided that
Eagle should henceforth be the county
seat.
One of the contentious of the contes-
tants was that ballots of absent voters
should not be counted, and another was
that two-thirds majority of all ballots,
including blank ballots, should be for
Eagle before it should be declared the
winner.
These contentious and the matter Of
contesting several individual ballots
constituted the principal charge made
against the winner.
Judge Cooper went into the matter
very thoroughly, overruled the claims
of the plaintiffs, and went into the mer-
its of the alleged illegal votes. Through
this Investigation seven votes in Eagle
and nine in Red Cliff were thrown out,
with the result that Eagle was de-
clared the choice of the voters, with a
over the necessary two-thirds
vote of twenty and two thirds votes.
This will probably settle the long
drawn. out battle and force our neigh
bors up the river to dig up something
else to fight about, unless they decide
on the better plan-to stop fighting.
