WHAT DID YOU
MAKE in 1920
Uncle Sam Begins Collection of Fed.
eral Income Tax for Last Year.
Same Rate as i'm 1919.
Revenue Officers to Visit Every County
to Assist in Making Out Returns.

Z Work has begun on the collection of
the income tax for the year 1920.
Uncle Sam, through the Buren, of In
ternal Revenue, is addressing to- every
person in the United States the cues
tion,e what was your net income for
s192O? The answer permits Of no
guesswork. Every single person whose
net income for 1920 was $1,000 or more
and every married person whose net
#income was $4,000 or more is required
fD file a return under oath with the col
lector Of internal revenue for the dis
trlct in which he lives on or before
March Is, 1921.
The penalty for failure is fine of
not more than 81 1000 and an additional
assessment of 25 per cent of the amount
Of tax due. For willful refusal to
make return the penalty is fine of
not more than $4,000 or not exceeding
one years Imprisonment, or both to-
gether with the costs of prosecution.
A similar penalty is provided for max
ing a false or fraudulent return, to-
4gether with an additional assessment
Of SO per cent of the amount of tax
evaded. '>'
Women Must Pay Tax
The income tax applies to women as
well as men. Husband and wife must
consider the income Of both plus that
of minor dependent children, and if the
total equals or exceeds $1,000 return
must be filed. A minor who has a net
income in his own right of 81 900 or
more must file a separate return. To
be allowed the $4,000 exemption a mar
ried person must be living with hus-
band or wife on the last day of the
taxable year, December 81, 1920. Di-
yorcees, persons separated by mutual
agreement, widows and widowers, I'M
less they are the sole support Of others
living in the same household, in which
case they are allowed the $4,000 ex-
emption granted the head of a family,
are entitled only to $1,000 exemption.
Tax Rates For 1920
The normal tax rate for 1920 is the
same as for 1914 per cent on the
first $4,000 Of net income above the
I exemption and 8 per cent on the re-
manning net income This applies to
every citizen and resident OF the q nited
States: In addition to the normal tax
a surtax is imposed upon net incomes
in excess of $4,000. n -:
Instructions On Form
Full instructions for making out re-
turns are contained on the forms, cop
les of which may be obtained from
collectors OF internal revenue. Persons
whose net income for 1920 was $4,000
or less should use Form 104OA. Those
with incomes in excess of S., 5000 should
use Form 1910. @~ l-@>
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to assist
taxpayers in making out their returns.
The date of their arrival and the loca-
ton of their offices will be announced
by the press or may be ascertained
upon inquiry at the offices of collectors.
This advisory service is without cost
to taxpayers. Il

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 1O-Local
receipts at the weeks opening were es-
timated at $500 cattle, 1920 hogs and
l2,2OO sheep. compared with 5000 cat
tie, $500 hogs and 1000 sheep week
ago. Seven markets had 10000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs and $1,000 sheep. against
$500 cattle, 81 400 hogs and 49,5OO
sheep week ago.
Dizziness prevailed in the cattle mar
ket at the start of the week, generous
runs at outside points and lower adj
vices from Chicago, tending to depress
the local trade, and buyers met with
little opposition in enforcing declines of
s25 to SOC in killing cattle values.
Shortfed steers are beginning to move
naarketward, best in last weeks trade

nesuIa feedlOt that averaged 1920
pounds and sold at $1,000, with fair
showing from $500 to $780, General
quality today was poor, best here being
some medium grade steers that sold at
$500. with bulk sales from $5.75 to
500. A few butcher cows and heifers
sold from $3.50, to $3.50, but most of
the offerings cashed from $500 to $500,
with Gamers and cutters at $2.75 to
1915. Veals are fifty cents higher than
5asweek ago, with tops at $1,000. A few
sales Of good to choice stockers and
feeders are being made at steady prices,
but common and medium grades are in
poor demand and going largely to pack
ers for their killing value.
Hogs opened the week on lower
basis, bulk selling from $3.50 to $500.
Pigs sold up $3.50. Sheep trade was
slow and weak to Soc lower than best
time last week, when prime fed lambs
sold up to $11.00, and handyweight
ewes went as high as $4.75.

CONDENSED FoRsTHE BUSY READER
HOUSE APPROVES THE
BONUS AMENDMENT
Members Vote Unanimously On Bill
Authorizing Sale ofsAddi.
tienaI Bonds:

The house of representatives passed
the bill amending the soldiers bonus
law Friday without a dissenting vote
after it had been withdrawn from the
floor the previous day where an at
tempt was made to pass it under sus-
pension of rules.
8 The bill which authorizes $3,000,-
Q10 adj itional bonds and their sale to-
gether with $4,5O0,000 remaining un-
sold, the original authorization at less
than par, also ratifyingaand approving
sales made, was then recommended
for passage under suspended rules by
unanimous vote Of the soldiers home
committee, and was promptly upheld
BY the legislators.
A disposition to speed payments and
provide ample funds and to deal kind
~ with the bonus board was shown
BY all members Of the committee.
Sharp criticism of bonus law admin
lstration brought defense that seemed
acceptable to the committeeman.
Favorable action, however, was based
only on the immediate need for bonus
funds.
Board Is Criticized.
Representative Theodore Christian

explanations he made before the House
Eof the bill introduced by him at the
request Of Henry Rines, state treas.
urer and bonus board member. AL

there should be no necessary delay,

PROPOSE RURAL CREDIT
TO SPEED Development
christensen Introduces Bill Intended
To Aid Farmers And Speed
Development.

st. Paul-Among the very first
problems with which the 42d Mime
sofa legislature will grapple is to be
along the line of farm legislation.
To this end Representative Theodore
Christianson of Dawson introduced a
bill in the House for the establishing
of a state rural credits system. This
will require constitutional amend
ment to be submitted to the voters at
the next general election.
The plan embraced in the bill, &C
cording to it's sponsors, will not only
develop more rapidly the agricultural
resources Of the state, but will go a
long way toward solving the market
problems confronting the farmers. In
permitting loans to be made to indi-
viduals, it will 60 farther than the fed
eral farm loan banks which are limited
to dealing with associations.
System self.sustaining.
The system is planned to be self-sus-
tanning. Loans would be from proceeds
Of sales Of state bonds, and no attempt
is proposed to loan from the perma-
nent trust funds because Of the pre-
sent over-demand for the use Of that
money in building schools and making
other public improvements in cities
and counties.
Bearing on the market problem, it is
outlined that it will enable the farmer
to hold his output until the miller or
the packer is ready to receive it, and
thus eliminate the speculator, who it
lis contended, is now taking advantage
Of the farmers inability properly to
finance his operations.
Numerous other bills relating to the
farm products marketing conditions
have been introduced and are being
considered by the House committee on
markets OF which Elias Nordgren is
chairman.

only seamen on the ship who could
understand English and as the off,
GERS couldn't speak any of the foreign

PRIDE OF DELTA TEAM
LOSES TO PICKED BUNCH

Labor day was sorry day for the
antlered herd of ball players. It has
long been known that they had the
crack team of the city league, but
when they challenged a pickup team
from all the other mines they bit or a
mouthful.
The Pickups started off on the right
foot and ran away with everything in
sight, scoring all the way from one
to nine in every inning except one.
1t was close then, for Erger was
caught at home plate through lack
of coaching.
About the prettiest piece of work
during the game was pickup by
Warren on a line drive from Bill
Graham's bat on an assist to Nichols
who took first base.
The Elks also pulled quick double
in the last inning, putting out Erger
and Dowd in hurry.
Reluctantly the fans watched the
closing of the baseball season and
contemplated the long months that
lay between this and the opening of
the 1922 season. The evening games
among the six league teams held the
interest since the inception of the
season in July, and it is probable that
they will start off about the middle of
May next year.
Following is the unofficial box score
and score by innings Of the closing
game:
