Some of our state contemporar mostly demo-
cratic, call primary law which they hope to
wiped out by the people miserable makeshft."
We are not defending the primary law and we feel
no resentment against those who call it harsh
But in the interest Of accuracy and the true
ings of epithets we object to that OF "makeshft."
Whatever else the direct primary may be it is not
makeshft but very definite and effective
mechanism which accomplishes precisely what it
intended to accomplshe by those who devised it.
The majority In the constitutional convention
not the designers of it. only the adopters and
they included in their collection of all the things
which were hen new and untried. That was the

democrats interested in promoting the of the
democratic party in Arizona They represented
wing Of the party which strongly in the
dant that they had no need to seek machinery for
the further entrenchment OF that wing against the
conservative wing the republican party then
combined.
They appear not to have considered the history
of the direct primary to have taken any account
of the effect Of it. That the stranger since the
device was by no means The direct primary
had been advocated various periods by the
Alliance the populists and the socialists. These
groups had taken it UP last resort against the

indirectly by the direct primary, to disrupt the

With the approach of the period for
filing income tax returns, January 1
to March Is, 1922, taxpayers are adj
vised to lose no time in the compila-
tion of their accounts for the year
1921. A new and important provision
of the Revenue Act of 1921 is that !
every person whose gross income for
1921 was $4,000 or over shall file re-
turn, regardless of the amount of net .
income upon which the tax is assessed. |
Returns are required of every single I,
person whose net income was 1000 !
or over and every married person liv- |
ing with husband or wife whose net
income was $4,000 or over. Widows
and widowers and persons separated
or divorced from husband or wife, are
regarded as single persons.
Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions for business expen-
ses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross income
includes practically all income received
by the taxpayer during the year; in
the case of the wage Garner, salaries,
wages bonuses and commissions; in
the case of professional men, all
amounts received for professional SER
vices; in the cases of farmers all prof.
its from the sale of farm products, ,and
rental or sale of land.
In the making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1921, every taxpayer
should present to himself the follow
ing questions:
What are your profits from your
business, trade, profession or vocation?
Did you receive any interest on bank
deposits?
Have you any property from which
you receive rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of dividend or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses during
the year?
Did you make any profit on the sale
or stocks, bonds, or other property,
real or personal?
Did you act as a broker in any
transaction from which you received
commissions?
Are you interested in any partner
ship or other firm from which you re-
ceived any income?
Have you any income from royalties
or parents

? a separate return of income
Did you receive any directors fee.
or trustees fees in the course of the
3. year?
Do you hold any office in a benef
t society from which you receive in
come?
: Answers to all of these question:
are necessary to determine whether
4 person has an income sufficiently larg
to require that a return be filed, an,
may be the means of avoiding tn
I heavy penalties imposed for failure t.
i do so within the time prescribed.
