The Ballot and
Jury Service

As citizens Of the Republic we de-
rive certain benefits and blessings
from our government and there is 9
corresponding reciprocal duty and
responsibility that the individual
owes as a citizen to this government
by reason Of the benefits and bless
ings which he enjoys. Two duties
OF every American citizen are:
Casting the Ballot and Jury Ser
vice.
The ballot III the safeguard of
American liberty. 1t is the safety
weapon Of peace by which changes
are brought about under our con.
stitutiona1 form of government with
out resorting to revolution. A clean
ballot honestly counted expresses
the will of our people. 1t Is the
solemn duty of every American to
pay his poll tax, make registration
or fulfill other requirements and
qualify himself to cast his ballot at
the polls for decent government in
America.
The American Legion, in the pre-
ambe to the constitution, pledges it.
self to uphold law and order. The
strongest means of maintaining the
law and keepin peace under law is
to choose and elect competent, effici-
ent, patriotic men or women to of
flee whose love for and devotion to
American institution and ideals ara
unquestioned and whose characters
are unimpeachRble. AS q part of
the Americanisn program Of the Le-
gion, we will stimulate desire in
every man and woman In America
to qualify himself or herself to take
part in all elections that are to be
called in 1922 and let their voices
be heard for the cause or good gov
ernment and urge thar they become
real and fullfledged American citi-
zens, foTearmed with the ballot to
make their Influence felt in their
communities, their states and the
nation.
There is a common complaint
about the results Of jury trials. II
the men and women who complain OF
the miscarriage OF Justice would
bear in mind that IL Is their obli-
cation to serve upon the juries o.
the country and enforce the law, we
will find the remedy for the short
comings and the failing of the pres
ent jury trial system. Citizens who
do not serve on Juries as civic and
patriotic duty have NO reason to
| To- fx. -
justice. One way at least to slack
en-, and we trust put an end to, the
wave of crime now sweeping over
America Is that all men and women
who are qualified for jury service
will seriously enter into the dis
charge of this patriotic duty and not
ask the judges of the courts to ex-
cuse them whey they are summoned
for such service. An aroused pub
lie opinion in creating q sentiment
and desire to serve upon our juriea
and have part in the administration
of our courts and the enforcement OF
our laws will 10 much toward break
Ing up this wave OF radicalism and
unheaFd OF crime wave infesting our
nation today.
AS part of this years work the
Americanism committee of the LIE.

true Americans to cast their ballot

INCOME TAX EXPERT
MONTPELIER HOTEL

The following letter from Clyde
M Gray, Division Chief Deputy of
Internal Revenue, concerning income
tax, is self explanatory.
PocateIlo, Idaho Feb. 15.-Exami-
ner, Montpelier, Idaho, Gentlemen
1T is a fact that not many people
will pay income tax this year, as
compared with past years, but it is
not generally known that large
number of people will be required to
file returns who will not pay tax.
This condition is brought about thru
the new provision whereby each in
dividua whose gross income equals
$4,000 must file return. This pro-
fision, In connection with the one
which requires all partnerships and
corporations to file returns, will
cause the owner or owners OF prac-
tically every store or other business
to make. return.
Another change in the income tax
law which should be thoroughly un-
derstood by the general public is that
requirement of the new law with re-
ference to the personal exemption
A single person has the same exemp-
ton as under the old law. A married
person has an exemption of $2500
before a tax is paid but MUST FILE
A RETURN If the net income equals
$4,000. The number of children or
other dependent persons affects in
no way the liability to return. If a
single person has a net income OF
$1,000 or a married person one of
$4,000 a return must be filed and II
either has a gross income OF $1,000
the return must be filed even though
there may have been no net income.
From March 1st to 18th Mr.. ClaiI
b. Reid, Revenue Agent from the
office in Salt Lake City, will be in
my office for the purpose Of assist
ing Corporations and others in the
preparation of returns.
The following is the itenerary fol

Old timers in Montpelier de-

winter is the heaviest in 2e
years. We are inclined to be-
lieve 1t. Along Main street in

a canyon with its to 8 feet of
snow banked up on either side.
Wherever the snow has been
kept off the sidewalks the full

The total amount of snow fall
during the winter Is variously
estimated at from 6 to 8 feet,
and right now there are approx

According to Or. Edward A. Ross, by
the year A. d. 1000 the population Of
the United States will number about
223.0O0,O0O. Extremists are painting
vivid pictures OF our country, pointing
out that the condition OF China, japan
and India will be riyaled here. They
predict a starving country with too
many inhabitants and too little space
in which to house them. In their minds
are scenes of war, famine and misery
as a result.
On the other hand, John s. Summer
secretary of the New York Society for
the Suppression of Vice, says: "Over-
population is not menace to the
peace OF the world because there is
no overpopulaton. 1t is not the ply
steal fact of population, but the men
tai and spiritual condition OF people
which determine the question as a
menace to continued peace"

Burlington, April 12--Tle fish and

ranged that there is plenty Of room
for activity in one line or another

at present is pickerel shooting and
some big fish are being secured in
nearby waters. Up to the present
time, about $50 licenses have been
granted at the office Of the city clerk
and nearly all are for pickerel shoot

The legal limit for pickerel is %
pounds but it is hard for a fisherman
to tell when he will step over the
limit for the reason that the fish are
running so large. Many, which are
being killed now, weieA between IL
and Is pounds. If a man had 1S

any way because Of the inroads it
makes on small fish.
TIE big catches at present are be-
ing made in Shelburne pond, the
mouths of the La Platte and Win
oosh Rivers No pickerel are ship
ped away as in the cases of pike and
perch but they are readily disposed
of in the local markets. The fish.
ermen are getting between 10 and 10
cents a pound just as they are taken
from TIE water.
Pike fishing has ceased for the
present and it probably will be two
weeks before 1t begins. Then the
fishing will be at the mouths of the
rivers, as it is against the law to
catch them in tie rivers, where they
have gone to spawn, before May.
The fish hatcheries will be open
for business in about two weeks and
the hatchery will be placed on the
wharf of the Lake Champlan Trans
portation Company in this city

INVALUABLE AID IN COOKING
British journal Points Out How the
Use Of Thermometer VIII Help
the Housewife.

Every housewife is aware that the
actual cooking of a dish Is a very i'm
portant factor Of success or failure. A
hot oven" and moderate oven are
often referred to, and testing by hold
ing the hand inside for a few seconds
Is a method frequently employed
But there is no real dependency on
such haphazard methods, since one
person can bear much more heat than
another. Therefore, in an efficient
household a kitchen thermometer to
register cooking heats should be con-
sldered as necessary as a clinical
thermometer. There are two varieties
of kitchen thermometers to be had.
The cheaper kind is Of white china,
and can only be used for oven cooking.
A more durable make, of brass, which
costs little more, can be used for
testing frying fats, etc. and Will not
break so easily, An iron leg supports
the thermometer so that it stands up
right and can be read at a glance when
in the oven. Every degree of heat from
low to high temperature is registered,
and at the side the standard tempera-
lures for cooking are printed.-Man-
