WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW ID GUT
 TAX NEXT YEAR
Conkey Tells How to Protect Bank Accounts by Keeping
 Account of Income
BY P. A. cONKEY. Permanent Tax Consultant

The time for filing individual in- come tax returns for the calendar year 1921 has just passed, and no doubt most of us will give the sub ject little thought again until the time comes when we will have to file our returns for 1922.
 The purpose of this article is to impress on the minds of taxpayers the importance of keeping some kind of record of their taxable in- come and allowable expenses for the year.
 Often taxpayers would be rightully entitled to detuet from their gross in- come amounts spent during the year for certain items, but they have no records of the amount of the item and hesitate to claim the deduction for fear they may be called upon to sub stantiate the amount claimed.
 This, of course, could not be done without some record of the transac- tion. If some simple record were kept, the item could be conscientious ly claimed and result in a saving of tax to the taxpayer.
 Another great advantage where records are kept is that the task of making up the return is simplified and results in a saving of time to yourself and the person assisting you.
 It is also important to the taxpayer that his items of income are clearly analysed, as certain kinds of income are entirely exempt from the tax, some are subject to both normal and surtax, and others are only subject to the surtaX.
 Following are a few suggestions as to items of which records should be kept:
 Salary-A record should be kept of the amount received from each source
 Interest on Bank Deposits, Notes, Mortgages and Corporation Bonds As certain corporation bonds con tain taX-free conyenant clause an a portion of the normal tax is assumed by the debtor corporation, the amount of this interest should be kept sep, arate, as you are allowed as a credit the amount of tax paid for you by the corporation.
 Interest on municipal bonds is eX. empt from the tax and need not be reported. Interest on Liberty and Victory Bonds is entirely exempt rom the normal tax, but in certan cases is subject to the surtax and therefore a record should be kept of the amount of interest received from each issue.
 Rents and Royalties-If you own renting property, a record should be kept of the amount of rent received the amount expended for repairs and other expenses.
 Business or Profession Your rec ords should show the total receipts list of the business expenses.
 Sale of Real Eestate-If you sel

Road Over Mountains Will Be in First Class Condition
 by Fall, Says Maddock

PHOENIX, Apr 22.- Actual work in the repairing of the Apache trail will be started within the next few days, according to an announcement made yesterday by Thomas Maddock, state engineer. It is expected, Mad dock said, that the work of putting the trail in first class condition will be completed some time late next fall { The state highway department is now engaged in moving two camps of workmen from the Superior Miami to the Apache trail and as soon as these camps are established the work will start on the trail. The department has been moving equip ment to the trail for some time, and sufficient federal and state equip ment has been assembled on the job to handle the work.
 The powder necessary for the blast ing work to be done on the trail has been obtained from the government plant in New Mexico and has been taken to the job. Carpenters in the state highway department wards in Phoenix have been engaged for some time in building portable frames for tents and the carload Of canvass re. celved from the government recently will be used to replace the tenting for the camps which has gone to pieces from two years of service on the Superior-Miami highway.
 A carload of elephant huts and one man shelters are now being unloaded at the department yards in Phoenix and part of these will be used on the Apache trail One Of the camps on the trail will be established al Goldfield and the other in the vincin ty of Tortilla flats.

Need of Regular
 Battery Filling
 Again Emphasized

Where does the water goto"? is the question of the inquiring visitor to the battery service station. His battery gets ,Airsty and needs refill ling with distilled water frequently, but just why this is true is something most car drievers have never given much thought.
 The Willard Storage Battery Com. pany has spent thousands of dollars on booklets and advertisements in their efforts to impress the need of regular battery filling upon the pub lie. They have even gone to the trou- ble of having moving picture film made on this subject which shows how the water evaporares through normal use, which nee essitates Teplenishing regularly. This film will be seen by thousandss of people who would not otherwie get the few simple rules of battery care.
 The purpose of this film is primar- ily to help motorists get better ser vice and greater mileage from their batteries and in order to accomplish this result great deal of pains were taken to make it more vivid. It's direction was placed in the hands of an experienced feature play direc' tor and actors were selected who could best meet the requirements of different roles.
 Wright and Wright, who represent ' the Willard Company in the Warren District are enthusiastic about the newest All-Rubber~ Willard Battery which contains the well known Threaded Rubber Insulation. This Company sepecializes in free testing and filling service for all makes of ! batteries.

Light Six Is Ideal
 Car For Southwest,
 Gays Californian

R. J. Conyers, prominent business man of San Diego California arrived in Bisbee driving a Studebaker Light Six, coming by the way of Fl Cen tro, Blythe, Buckeye and Phoenix, covering distance of 681 miles. Con yers stated: Tn making this trip we travelled roads that are in no condi- tion to get test on gasoline mile age, but we averaged 22 miles to the gallon on gas and had besides the three passengers, 600 pounds of lug gage. On this trip coming over I did not put in any oil in the motor. My car has now gone 2500 miles and 1 have not had a car that you could drive 45 miles an hour with less vi- bration than the average car will make at 20 miles per hour. 'In my experience with motor cars I have driven four different makes and I do not hesitate to say that the Light Six Is the nearest to perfection. The
 easy handling qualities and the way the car will pick up and throttle down without changing gears is especially nlce for a woman driver, and I have yet to find another make of car that VIII compare with this one in perfor
 nance, equipment and easy riding qualities"

Latest Reports 10 Governor
Indicate That Hindu Mur-
derer VIII Be Tried for In
sanity and Sent to Asylum

According to information received
from Sacramento there is little like
lhood that Gaudet Singh will be ex-
ecuted for the murder of his common
law wife in Brawley, for which crime
he was sentenced to be hanged by
Judge Marvin w. Conkling.
Singh is under sentence to be hang
ed next Friday, the 18th, He was
first sentenced to die September 2,
but on representations made to Gov
ernor Stephens by his counsel and
humber of club women of Oakland,
the governor granted a reprieve to al
low an inquiry to be made into his
mental condition. He was retrieved
twice subsequently,.
4 week ago representations were
made to the Superior Court of Marin
county by District Attorney Greer,
that Singh was insane, and he asks
for a jury trial to determine the san
ity of the man. Alenists We're an
pointed by the 'court to make an eX-
animation of the prisoner in San
Quentin.
IN their latest report to the gov
ernor, the alienists, DR.. John Reilly
and DR.. Fred F. Clark, declare that
Singh undoubtedly is insane. his men
about through feigning, and the eff
sects of a bullet resting on his brain.
The bullet in his head was discovered
by use of the X-ray.
According to the Governors office,
W arden J. 4. Johnson of San Quen-
tin prison will file an insanity charge
against Singh in the Superior Court
OF Marin county, and if found by the
court to be insane, he will be COM
mitted to a state institution.
Singh's case has attracted eonsid-,
cradle attention due to the fact that
the British consul in San Francisco
appealed to Governor Stephens in his
behalf.

BANK WILL
REQ Pc
SHORTLY
Assurance is Given That Am
pie Funds VIII Be Provided
Immediately for Farmers &
Merchants Bank Just Closed

That the Farmers & Merchants
bank, whose doors were closed yes
terday morning by State Bank Sup
erintendent Jonathan S. Dodge follow
ing discovery of shortage of ready
. money with which to continue busi-
ness because of the banks inability
to realize upon it's loans, will resume
business within a week became prac-
tically certain yesterday afternoon al
the annual stockholders meeting
through offers of financial help from
numerous sources, says the lmperla
Enterprise. The statement made yes
terday that the board of directors al
q meeting Tuesday night had wired
an offer of $4,000 in high grade Sc
curities to the clearing house at Los
Angeles was declared erroneous.
Officials of the bank, however, were
able to assure the stockholders tina;
they had received an offer from the
Southern Trust and Commerce Bank
at San Diego, which had severa!
branches in the valley, to furnish
funds; that other outside banks had
telephoned proffers of assistance, aad
that an offer for a substantial loan
had been made by an Imperial busi-
ness man. The stockholders express
ed their appreciation to Mr.. Dodge
and hi sassstant. Y. c. Porch, who is
temporarily in charge, for their cour-
tosy and efforts in behalf of the in
stitution and it's depositors.
The stockholders meeting was adj
iourned for one week when, it was
said this morning. definite announce
ment will be made regarding the
banks policy and reopening. Wheth-
er the bank is reorganized or its af
fairs are liquidated. the depositors
in either case, according to assurance
expressed today, will not lose cent
of their money.
Expressions of sympathy and cop
fidence continued to be universal over
town today. The Farmers & Mer
chants Bank, to judge from the gen
eral feeling, lis not looked unon a;
merely banking institution but
town enterprise. A statement appear
ing in an FL Centre paper that large
amount of the stock is held by low;
capital was denied this morning b!

share of stock in the bank is own
