BIG INCREASE IN DUCKS
Chief of Biological Survey Urges Con-
servation of Inland Lakes.

Chief of Biological Survey Urges Con-
servation of Inland Lakes.
f. W. Nelson, chief of the United
States bureau of biological survey, re-
Gently sent broadcast a statement
dealing with the necessity for imine-
diate action in conserving our inland
lakes and marshes. Nelson pointed
out that the mass of evidence gath
cred by the bureau showed that ducks
have increased under the present fed
eral regulations but that Unless
permanent breeding grounds are
established in all sections of the coun-
try, it will be impossible to retain
the increase.
The biological survey advocates the
establishment tnruout the, United
States of federal and state bird pre-
serves, such areas to be strictly
guarded during the breeding season.
and portions of each to be set aside
the balance would be devoted to pub
lie shooting grounds during the open
season. a4at
Nelson further pointed out that it
is a mistaken idea that draining the
water from any given area is benetlt
to the community. In most sections,
under Intelligent m a a g m e n t,
larger return than the same area with
the water drained off and devoted
to Agriculture. The following brief
summary shows the productiveness OF
such territory:
Food and game fishes.
Wild fowl to be shot for sport and
food. - ...+~
Furs from such furbearers as the
fnlskrats, sllunks and raccoons which
frequent their borders.
A natural ice supply.
A definite and invaluable help in
maintaining the. ,underground water,
level in various parts OF the state and
in helping hold back the run-off of
rainfall to prevent excessive erosion
and other damages. -.ssss.. SCI.
Opportunities for healthful and in
teresting recreation for the citizens of
the state. .N
Where such water areas are includ-
ed in state parks or reservations. they
lend themselves admirably to educa-
tional uses and help interest the. peo-
pie of the state in out-of-door life and
in the natural resources of the state
in the form of plant and animal life,
which are such important elements in
supplying useful commodities,
Experts from the department of ag-
ricuiture have testified that many of
the recent drainage projects have re-
suited in absolute failure, and in most
instances the only benefit derived has
gone either to the land promoters. or
the company engaged in doing the
drainage. Nelson said that 1t was his
belief that a careful survey of the
water and marsh areas in any state
by men versed in plant and animal
products would show the superior
value of the water areas in their nat
iiral condition as against the value OF
the land which would be left should
the water be drained away.
1t is an established fact that ducks
and geese vary in their flights and
cross and recross the country in all di7
rections. Therefore, the sportsmen OF
the country are benefited by every adj
ditional refuge established, even tho
not in their Immediate vicinity. The

The fact that has dawned upon
some of US is that American Chris
tianity is quite a different thing from
our European Christianity. Doctrine,
and all the talk about doctrine which
falls upon our church conferences
seems to have quite disappeared. ..-
These men, these powerful speak
ers and perorators, seem to be no "di-
vines" but rather a set Of capable,
earnest business men met together to
organize this great affair of the Chris
tian life. There is less spirituality
than in Europe. There is the same
intentness on action-energy- you
see in the business life. Christianity
here, in all the churches, has taken on
a new phase. 1t has become subject
to this wonderful, magnetic electric
American spirit. It is a thing of
shocks; it is almost as far different
from mediaeva1 European Chris
tianity, with its silent churches. its
chants and incense its dim aisles and
Gothic windows, as our European
Christianity is different from the re-
ligiofls Of Asia.

America dancing, moving spirit,
never quite still. You see it especial

try of the young. All the time it looks

YOUR INCOME TAX

The revenue act Of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions,
which are the subject OF frequent in
quiry. The first relates TO the per-
sonal exemptions allowed married
persons, and the second to the pro-
vision requiring that return be made
OF gross incomes of $4,000 or more.
The act provides that a married
person. living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1891 was IS, 600
or less shall be allowed a personal
exemption of $4,000. If the net in
come OF such person was over $4,000
the exemption is $4,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the personal ex-
e1mptiof1 allowed a married person was
$4,000. regardless of the amount of
net income. The normal tax rate re-
mains unchanged, per cent on the
first $4,000 of. net incmoe above the
exemptions and 8 per cent on the re-
manning net income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess of $4,000 shall not be subjected
to an inordihately disprop6rtiohate tax
because of the reduction of the ex-
emption. to 50, 900 thereon, the law
provides that such reduction shall not
operate to increase the tax which
would be payable If the exemption
were $4,000 by more than the amount
of the net income in excess Of IS, 600:
.. Fer example. -on net income of
5000, the tax, without this saving
clause. would be $126,4 0,- which is 4
per cent on 5000 the af1otflt Of net
income less an exemption Of $4,000.
The actual tax is $110.4O. computed as
follows: From the net income of
5000 is deducted $4,000. leaving
s2.510, the 4 per cent taxe-on which
amoufts to S10040. To this Is added
$40, the amount of net income ex-
cess of $4,000"
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, a person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
ton.
Heretofore. a person whose net in
come was less than his exemption,
81, 900 if single. or $4,000 II married,
was not required to file a return.
Under the revenue act of 1921. If the
gross income of an individual equalied
or exceeded $4,000 or if the com bined
gross income OF a hiarfied couple and
that of dehendent minor children
edua1led or Exceeded $4,000, a return
must be filed. regardless of the
amount, of net income.
Net income" is gross income. less
certain deductions. The fact that al
lowable deductions from gross income.
for business expenses. losses. bad
debts. etc, may reduce the net income
to an amount below the personal ex-
emptions of 1000 or $4,000. does not
alter the requirement to file a return
of gross income. if such gross income
equailed or exceeded 1000.
