QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
REGARDING INCOME TAX
MATTERS UPON WHICH EVERY
CITIZEN SHOULD BE POSTED
TO AVOID TROUBLE.

The following statement is issued by
the collector of internal revenue, Boise,
the district of Idaho:
With the approach of the period for
/ filing income tax returns, January l
to March Is, 1922. taxpayers are ad-
vised to lose no time in the compila-
ton of their accounts for the year 1921.
new provision of the revenue
act Of 1921 is that every person whose
gross income for 1921 was $4,000 or
over shall file a return. regardless of
the amount of net income upon which
quired of every single person Whose
ret income was $1,000 or over and
every married person living with hus-
band or wife whose net income was
$4,000 or over. Widows and widowers
and persons separated or divorced
from husband or wife, are regarded as
single persons.
Net income is gross income, less GER
tain deductions for business expenses,
losses. taxes, etc. Gross income in
cludes practically all income received
by the taxpayer during the year; in

NORTH AND SOUTH HIGHWAY
Large Sum Available for Construction
This Year

This Year.
It was possible for automobiles to
pass over the highway connecting
north and south Idaho last year, but
part Of the road was difficult and even
dangerous. It is a wonderful scenic
route and many people both north and
south are eager to see its beauties as
soon as it can be accomplished with
ease and safety. This will doubtless
be possible during the summer ac-
cording to the following information
taken from a Lewistown paper:
"The North and South highway from
Lewiston to Boise, where it joins the
Idaho-Pacific highway. is well along
toward completion, the most difficult
sections of road work along the Sal
mon river having been practically
completed last year. The huge I'M
dertalxing now has available for con-
tinuing the work about $1,000, 900, and
about half of this will be spent in con-
struction planned for 1922. Owing to
conditions in central Idaho
work will not be resumed until late in
the spring, and it is expected that con-
tracts may be let by June 1. For next
year about 100000 in combined state
and federal aid will be available for
this work. with some 1851, 900 of county
and highway district money"

Question Of Cost.

With regard to cost the copper
shingle has a material advantage when
compared with asbestos, slate or tile
roofing. and costs originally only about
twice as much as the ordinary wood
shingle. Not only this. but when the
salvage value of the other materials is
compared with that of the copper
shingle, the advantage is greatly in
favor of copper. Approximately 60 per
cent of the cost of the roof to you is
represented by the value of the copper.
For instance, in comparing copper
shingles with the ordinary wooden
shingles, if the building is destroyed
by fire within one year after erection. !
copper would be a great deal cheaper
on account of the salvage value On 1
the other hand, if the building. remains
standing until the roof has to be re-
placed, which in this territory is usu-
ally necessary within a period Of 10
years. copper with a lifetime of at
least 100 years, would again be the

In these divorceful days. you never

she dies,
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-12-29

} cheaper, as the cost of replacement
! would bring the total cost Of the
wooden roof to a point greatly in ex-
cess of the original cost of the copper
single roof ct the time Of the first
renewal
I'VE recommend the use of copper
shingles for any roof having a pitch of
at least two inches to the foot. These
shingles are applied to board sheating,
and no special preparation is required
to lay the roof although we do recon-
mend the use of a layer of slaters felt
beneath the roofing. No special skill
is required to lay these shingles, and
they can be laid with such rapidity
that at least twice the area can be
covered in a day with copper shingles
as is normally covered with wooden
shingles All other roofing materials,
especially slate and tile require con-
siderably more labor of a skilled ma
ture TO place them. In addition to the
shingles. Hastings, valleys. hips, verges
and spouts will be supplied to suit the
conditions and to properly equip any
building with facilities for shedding
water.
1.-THE copper shingles are not appli-
cable to a flat roof, and to meet this
need the Anaconda company is pro-
ducing a copper sheet with timed
edges to facilitate soldering where lap
or raised joint construction is neces-
sary. The problem of expansion with
the copper sheet or even with the
shingle, is of no more consequences in
this material than it is in any other
material now used for roofing pur-
poses
THE company is intending to pack |
these shingles between layers of paper
to keep them from being married. Suf- !
hcient shingles and copper nails for |
one-half a square $50 square feet /
will be packed in each box to facilitate
easy handling.
Advantages Of Copper.
Summarizing the advantages of the
copper single over other roofing ma
Lerials now in use: They are cheaper;
hey weigh considerably less; they
nave a salvage value of 60 per cent, as
against complete loss with other roof
ng materials; they are much more
,asily and quickly laid; they require
10 skill to lay them; they are much
ess bulky to handle; they compare
avorably with the artistic qualities of
'ther materials; they are absolutely
they greatly reduce the
ire hazard; they require no upkeep
ost, and they will outwear any other
oofing material which is at present
N the market"

.J4ZZ DATES BACK TO PERU INDIANS;
ONE TRIBE HAD EVEN WORSE MUSIC

NEW YORK. May 1.-the SHIN
my, the one-step and the Jazz
music are as old as the hills and
the ancient melody-loving inhabi-
tantS of Peru were the first to pro-
duce them. And to make their
claim secure for all time they in
scribed the figures of the dance on
their prehistoric pottery and metal
so that when future archealogists
sought proof of their claim there
would be no doubt about it.
Sure enough, their claim to fame
as the originators of the trots
that make life worth living for
lot of light-footed persons has
been found by Charles w. Mead
assistant curator of the depart
ment of anthropology in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History.
This discovery. incidentally, blasts
the theory that jazz was first
product of the now extinct Bar
barry Coast in San Francisco. where
adventures since the days of 40
whirled with the girls of the dance
halls.
And that isn't all-they have rug
up from the ruins of old Peru such
instruments of jazz as the drum
the cymbal. the rattle. the pipe.
the flute, the whistle, the trumpet
and other devices Of sundry char
acter.
1t also is recorded that rc
Huancas. a particularly warlike
tribe. made their drums from the
skins of their enemies. and the
music. it is declared. was even
