TAX LISTING Time
Personal Tax Returns

The blanks for making personal
tax returns have been mailed this
week by the County Auditor to the
personal property owners. AS many
move from one location to another, It
is impossible to reach everyone by
mail. The failure to receive a blank,
does not excuse person from listing
his property; as the law specifies that
he must secure one from the Auditor
or the local assessor.
The listing and valuation of pro-
0erty for taxation must be at true
value and shall be made as of the
second Sunday in April and must be
filed with the County Auditor on or
before the first day of May, 1922. 1t
would be much better to make out the
return now than to wait until the last
day. These returns can be ack-
nowledged before the local assessor,
township clerk, justice of the peace
or notray public.
All parties who fail to list before
the first day of May, will forfeit their
500 exemption. After the returns
are filed the local assessor checks up
the list and all incorrect returns are
corrected by him.
Parties refusing to make a return
will be assessed so per cent penalty
and making a false return are liable
to prosecution for perjury.

HON. C. ]. THOMPSON
SUPPORTS ADJUST
ED COMPENSATION

The following are remarks by Hon.
&c. ]. Thompson, congressman from
this district, in the House of Repre-
sentatives:
In 1917, 24,000,000 of young men in
the United States were available for
military service. Four millions of
them were used. They were mostly
inducted into military service and
their liberty and their lives placed
in jeopardy at dollar a day. The
other 10000 900 remained at home,
and received from SIS to $40 per day
in civil employment far from danger.
The 100000 men taken were used
by the Government to preserve the
business of the country, and there is
not single business man in the
United States who did not receive
valuable protection from that service.
The American soldiers brought the
war to close year sooner than had
been anticipated, and on the 1st of
Novmeber, 1918, there was not a
patriotic business man in the Union
who would not gladly have submitted
to any kind of a tax to continue the
war to successful conclusion.
In 1910 the total wealth of the
United States was $188, 8,00O, ,000,O 900.
The estimated wealth of this country
is now approximately $450,000, 100000
or an increase between 1910 and 1920
of $263, 600 100000. 1t is setimated
by the Government actuaries that the
present bonus, if paid off I'M cash,
would amount to $1,492, GOO 900. Such
sum represents our moral obligation
and is the true measure of value
which we owe, and which World War
soldiers would be less than 1 per cent
of the increase of the wealth of our
country between 1910 and 1920. It
is, therefore, obvious. that the country
is not being looted by settling of
war claim such as the moral obliga-
tion of adjusted compensation
a~I-would hesitate to vote this addi-
tional burden on the shoulders of the
American people !. had npt been
assured that the interest on the
British debt owing us, which will fall
due in the late summer, will be appli-
ed to pay the soldiers bonus since the
amount to be paid is nearly $500,000,-
900. / therefore vote for the bill.
