Spellier Explains
New Tax Provisions
Collector of Internal Revenue Issues
Data Concerning Payments and
Rates for Coming Year

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue,
Louis A. Spellier for the District of
Nevada:
Enactment of new revenue legis-
lation has brought to the Offices of
Collectors of Internal Revenue a
flood of inquiries regarding various
provisions. The Revenue Act of
1921 became effective November %,
1921, unless otherwise provided
for"
ITO avoid error In the prepara-
tion OF their returns and later diff
culties with the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, taxpayers are advised to
carefully note the changes and when
they become effective.
'The excess profits tax is repealed
as of January 1, 1922. The rates
for 1921 are unchanged
THE surtax rates for the calen-
dar year 1921 are unchanged, and
range from one per cent on the
amount of net income between s5,-
900 and $4,000 to 50 per cent on the
amount of net income in excess of
$1,000,000. For the calendar year
1922 the surtax rates range from
one per cent on the amount of net
income between $4,000 and s10,-
600 to so per cent on the amount
by which the net income exceeds
100000.
'The exemption allowed for a de-
pendent is increased from 5000 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or wife and heads of fami-
lies are allowed a personal exemp-
ton of $4,000 (instead of $4,000
unless the net income is in excess
of $1,000, In which case the person
al exemption is only $4,000. The
act provides that in no case shall
the reduction of the personal exemp-
tion from s2,500 to $4,000 operate
to increase the tax which would be
payable If the exemption were S2,-
500 by more than the amount of the
net income in excess of $4,000. This
is to overcome the disparity in the
case of two taxpayers, one of whom
is just within the lower $4,000 ex-
emption and the other just within
the higher $4,000 exemption.
"Single persons, and married per-
sons not living with husband or
wife, are allowed an exemption of
$1,000. Nonresident aliens are al
lowed a single personal exemption
of $1,000. Persons having gross in
comes for 1921 of $4,000 or over
are required to make a return, re-
gardless of the amount of net in
come.
Provision is made for the repeal
as of January /, 1922. of the tax on
stockholders of a personal service
corporation as such. After the such
corporations are to be taxed in the
same manner as other corporations.
"The income tax on corporations
for the calendar year 1922 and
thereafter is increased from 10 to
121a per cent. The $4,000 exemp-
ton heretofore allowed corpora

That the water users on the var

the letter from Morris Bien, assist

Receive Good News
of California We'll
Company Financed Largely by Local
Men Hopeful Of Striking OH
Near Fresno

W ID. Moody left Sunday evening
to visit Dos Palos. California. where
he will represent number of Fall
Ion stockholders in the Nevada
Fresno oil company Reports were
received in Fallon last week to the
effect that the prospect for striking
oil in we'll No. l are extremely good.
Ernest Hursh left Immediately after
receiving the encouraging news.
The majority of the stock in the
company is owned by
Fallon people, 1t is reported.
The following article from the
Dos Palos Star tells of the possibil-
ity of the company reaching oil in
the near future:
That oil has been discovered in
well No. l of the Nevada-Fresno
company south of here is the big
news of the week.
There has been a strong undercur-
rent of excitement in the air all
week, and short interview with the
directors of the company Wednes-
udyt Souhi ueu thc icpoit thdt IL 10
believed oil has been struck in pay
ing quantities.
The drill at the Nevada-Fresno
has passed through more than fifty
feet of oil sands during the past
few days, II was stated. and prepa-
rations are going ahead rapidly now
to cement off the water and test out
the we'll for production. The truck
went to Coalinga Wednesday and
brought back a load of cement to be
used in the shutting off process.
II is the unanimous opinion Of all
experienced oil operators who have
examined the sands taken from the
we'll and viewed the surface indica-
tions at the drilling, that a fine
grade of oil has been tapped. How
much, 1t will not be possible to say
of course, until the water has been
shut off, the we'll baled out, and the
sand allowed to come in. At pres
ent time there is 1850 feet of water
In the we'll. There is strong indica-
tions of gas in the well and II may
be that when the water pressure is
lowered the we'll will come in as a
gusher.
The hole at the Nevada-Fresno
has been drilled down between 2100
and 1900 feet, and the drill has
penetrated five different sands un-
derlying each other at short inter-
walls.
The casing will be pulled back to
the first sand, 2O30 feet, at which
point the plug will be put In and the
water cemented off.

Says Diversified
Farming Big Need
Dean Stewart of University of Me-
yada Talks TO Farmers on Sec
ondary Agricultural Industries

"There are approximately three
thousand farmers In the state Of
Nevada and one thousand, or a
third, of them are in Churchill coun-
ty," said Dean Robert Stewart of
the University of Nevada, depart
ment of agriculture, in speaking be-
fore the members of the Harmon
community center last Wednesday
night.
Stewart told of the work that is
being done in the college of agricul-
ture at the University. He said that
there are new sixty-two men and
women attending the college and
that they have ample facilities for
becoming acquainted with the work.
The University school of mines, he
said. is known the world over and 1t
is to be hoped that the school of ag-
riculture will soon be equally as
well known This year there will be
fourteen graduates from the school
of agriculture. six men and eight
women, he stated.
The fall of prices began eighteen
months ago and consequently bus
mess depression resulted. The re-
suit of the depression was unemploy-
ment and unemployment resulted in
the reduction of the buying power Of
the vast number of people, was the
speakers opinion. Agriculture,
Stewart said. is the fundamental
business of our financial system and
the farmers represent fifty per cent
of the purchasing power of the eoun-
try.
1t is the general opinion that Ne
vada is a mining state, it is called
"The Silver State" but had the pio-
neers of Utah continued to the
shores of Pyramid Lake instead of
settling on the shore of the Great
Salt Lake the industries of the state
would be very different today. Brig
ham Young. the speaker said. adyo-
Gated a permanent commonwealth.
The mining industry is very tempor-
ary. For the past seventy years the
state has developed the mining in
dustries and as result cities have
grown and disappeared. The very
name, mining camp. indicates a
lack of permanence. However,
don't misunderstood me, | am not
knocking the mining industry" said
Stewart.
In Utah the farms are small and
we'll titled. producing intensive
crops. There is little Tenancy in
the state, seven-eighths of the
farms being owned by the farmers,
he added.
Various attempts have been made
to stabilize the price of farm pro-
ducts and SO assure the farmer a
fair price for his crops. All at
tempts have met with varying de-
grees of success. The secondary in
dustries, through contracts, will
guarantee the farmers market at
a price set In advance.
That is what is needed here, sec
ondary industries, is the opinion of
Stewart. The future of the state is
tied up in getting factories here to
use the farmers crops. Condensed
milk factories, and various vege-
table canning factories were the
things most important to the future
growth of the state, he said,
