Yours truly,

George mistakes the sentiment ii
regard to him. No one wishes him
any harm What he needs is little
turpentine on HIS toes to make him
move around a trifle faster
The foregoing letter is typical OF
the mental attitude which has so far
prevented his success. At the Gard
ner hearing II was at his request that
the date was fixed for November Is.
Why try to duck the responsibility
and pass the buck to Mr.. Healy?
Mr.. Mathers' claim that it is his
right to rest in his easy chair until
somebody brings him the evidence is
the customary claim of slackers
everywhere who have held the office
of prosecuting attorney. Vermont
has had states attorneys for $50 years
and some of the great men OF the
state have held the office and
through doing their duty there have
gained honor and promotion.
1t is their job to represent the pub
lie in the suppression of crime Those
who have best served have made 1t
their duty to collect evidence and to
make earnest, dilgent effort to en-
force the laws and to protect in
nocence and virtue. Occasionally OF
late years somebody has gotten into
the office who merely wanted the
salary and has refused to take the
initiative against crime and evil. It
Is regrettab'e to see George, at his
age, adopt the shiftless point of view.

of wholesome food and the whole
evening will cost each man fifty
cents and each boy nothing. Now
this is the rightful way to handle
the fun of the boy. The men
ought to see to it that every boy
gets his pleasure he is entitled to
and not let any and every body
charge the boy for what he has a
birthright to. We actually have
worthy boys and girls i our town
who do not have the money to
have fun and their parents can t
afford the expense and these
worthy chaps are being discrimin-
ated against Then we have many
boys whose parents cant afford to
let their children have their right

bills go unpaid that the boy and
girl might have the fun that the
others are having. Now either
case is wrong. The fun of youth
ought not to cost them any more
than the actual cost Of the fun.
Men have a right to charge men a
profit but men have no right to

an Intellectual attempt to other

mob.
As the story runs, thirty years
after the crucifixion, PLATE, then
an old man, living in retirement
in Rome, was entertaining group
Of after dinner friends with an
account Of that stormy day in Jer-
usalem and the general riotng
which finally resulted in the ira

LESLIE JENSEN ISSUES
STATEMENT ON TAXES

The following statement is IS
sued by the Collector of Internal
Revenue Leslie Jensen, district of
South Dakota:
The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions
which are the subject of frequent
inquiry. The first relates to the
personal. exemptions allowed mar
ried persons, and the second to the
provision requiring that return
be made of gross income of $1,000
or more.
The act provides that married
person, living with husband or
wife, whose net income for 1921
was $4,000 or less shall be allowed
personal exemption of $500. If
the net income of such person was
over $4,000 the exemption is $4,000.
Under the revenue act of 1918 the
personal exemption allowed a mar
ried person was 5000, regardless of
the amount of net income. The nor
NAL tax rate remains unchanged.
A per cent on the first $4,000 of the
net income above the exemptions
and s per cent on the remaining
net income.
In order that an income slightly
in excess of $500 shall not be sub
jected to an Unfortunately dispro-
portionate tax because of the re-
duction of the exemption to $4,000
thereon the law provides that such
reduction shall not operate to in:
crease the tax which would be
payable if the exemption were
$500 by more than the amount OF
the net income in excess of $4,000
For example, on net income OF
S5010, the tax, without this saving
clause, would be Sl20 40 which is
/ per cent on 5000, the amount OF
net income less an exemption OF
$4,000. The actual tax is $40. 40
computed as follows: from the net
income Of S5U10 is deducted $500
leaving $3.50, the A per cent tax
on which amounts to $1,000. 40. To
this is added $40, the amount Of
net income In excess of $1,000.
The personal exemptions allow
ed married persons, apply also to
the head of family a person who
supports in one household one or
more relatives by blood, marriage
or adoption.
Heretofore, person whose net
income was less than his exemp-
ton $1,000, if single, $4,000 if mar
ried, was not required to file a re-
turn. Under the revenue act of
1921, if the gross income of an in
dividual equaled or exceeded $4,000
or if the combined gross income
of a married couple and that Of
dependent children equaled or ex-
ceeded $4,000, d return must be FL
ed regardless Of the amount of net
income.
NET income" is gross income,
less certain deductions. The fact
that allowable deductions from
gross income, for business expen-
SEES, losses and bad debt, etc. may
reduce the net income to an am
cunt below the peronal exemption
of 500, or $4,000, does not alter
the requirements to file return
Of gross income, if such income
equaled or exceeded $4,000.

QUINN TAKES TWO GAMES

Quinn came down last Saturday
and walked off with double
victory at Pohle's Hall. However
the crowd was entertained with
two very good games, of basket

doubt have been better satisfied,
it must be considered that very
little practice has been had by on.

were not in the best Of condition
The first game was between the
.wo girls teams. The locals girls
started out in fine spirit and for
time looked as though they were
at least equal to their opponents.
However it was soon apparent that
the superior weight of the visitors
was too much for them and the
game ended with the score to II.
The lineup:

to shoot baskets, and the fact that
their opponents were considerably
