INCOME TAX FACTS YOU .
SHOULD BEAR IN MIND

Births, deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially in
come tax returns for that year
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption Of 5000 in the parents
income tax returns.
Widows and widowers who lost their
husbands or wives during the year are
especially affected. They are single
for the purposes of the income tax
law and are granted only an exemp-
ton of $1,000 unless the head of a
family
Persons who were divorced or scpar-
ated by mutual agreement duying the
year also must conaider thcmselves as
single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on Dec.
81. 1920, determines the amount Of the
exemptions. If, on that day the tax
payer was married and living with
wife or husband, claim may be made
for the $1,000 exemption. If single,
or married and not living with wife or
husband on December 81, the exemp-
tion is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings for
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or $1,000 or more, according to
their marital status, must file a return
and pay tax on their net income in
excess of those amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands Of the Collector Of
Internal Revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or has his
principal place Of business, on or be-
fore midnight Of March l5, 1921.

An unusually large amount of ties
are being received this year for spring
replacement on both the narrow and
standard gauge lines Of the Third Di-
vision Of the d. 4 r. G. Altogether,
about 185, 900 Oregon fir ties have
been distributed on the division, and
at the rate Of about $l.00 apiece, this
represents a rather tidy sum in Inn
provement and up-keep work.
It is also given out that the standard
gauge lines west Of Montrose are to
be reballasted and new steel rails
laid. 1t is proposed to lay 80 pound
steel to replace the present inadequate
and worn-out 60 pound rails. All Of
which will mean big gain in ef
ficiency and an appreciable lessening
Of accidents. Piles Of the dinky little
narrow gauge ties adorn the right-of-
way through this county.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN ises
RESET WITH DIFFICULTIES

Every road cost about twice IS much
to build in 1920 Is il did in 1917, ac-
cording to the chief of the Bureau Of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and highway
construction suffered more than any
other class Of work thru railroad con-
gestion. strikes, labor troubles and
material shortages.
After the war there was q great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam
aged BY war traffic, and IT, appeared
that the return Of men from military
service would provide an abundance Of
labor. The army Of laborers which
was expected TO apply for the work
did not, however, materialize. On the
contrary, there was distinct shortage
OF labor, and wages reached the high
est level attained in the history of
the country. In 1917 competent labor
could be secured for from $l.5O to So
per day, but the corresponding wages
in 1870 were from IS TO IS for short
er days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also . pronounced scarcity Of
construction materials. Sand. gravel,
stone, cement and materials commonly
used in road work increased in price
between 1917 and 1890 from 80 TO 100
per cent. Naturally these increases
in cost were reflected in the prices paid
to contractors for road work. Gravel
roads increased from $l,5S5 to $3.50
per mile; concrete from 81, ,l65 to
upward Of $4,000 per mile. and brick
roads from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile.
As funds for road construction are
largely limited by statute, or by the
returns from taxation, a majority of
the states his year have deliberately
withheld work, the plans for which had
been completed, until they could OBJ
tain q greater return for their ex-
penditures.

that these pipe-smOking competitions

says: THE prizes to be won are not
inconsiderable, and l once took part
in competition in which the winner
received 500 francs.
"Ail the competitors were given a
certain quantity Of tobacco, a long
church-warden pipe, and a box of
matches. Then at given signal they
all lit up and smoked away. l forgot
the time the winner made his pipe
last, but ii was well over two hours.
Mine, alas, went out in something over
half an hour.
THE winner was very old Flemish
peasant of patriarchal appearance, and
his victory was well earned, for he
smoked in solemn silence the whole
time, only diverting himself by copi-
Gus drafts from his chopin Of beer,
which was frequently replenished dur
ing the course of the contest"
