When Checks Will Be Ac-
cepted in Payment of Taxes

Checks will be accepted in pay
ment of income and other federal
taxes, announces Clyde G. Huntley
collector of internal revenue, only
when honored by the banks upon
which they are drawn at par, or full
face value.
This announcement is made by
Collector Huntley on instructions
from the commissioner Of internal
revenue, at Washington, D. c.
Therefore, where it is known that
the bank upon which the check is
drawn will not pay the same at par
the taxpayer should remit by bank
draft or money order.
Collector Huntley calls attention
to the fact that all federal officers
and employees must pay an income
tax on their salaries.
The salaries of officers and en-
ployees of the state or any political
subdivision thereof, such as city,
town, county or hamlet, however
are exempt from taxation under the
federal income tax law. This law
expressly provides that this exemp-
ton does not extend to salaries paid
federal officers or employees, I'm

States, the judges of the Supreme
and inferior courts, and all other
officers and employees, whether elec.
ted or appointed, Of the United

Oregon May Have Poll
tical Conventions Again

Portland, Feb. 20.-Oregon will
again have political party conven-
tions if a movement, started here last
Monday in the annual meeting of the
Oregon State League of Republican
Clubs, is successful.
This would not change or take
anything away from the present d.
rect primaries" explains Edward A,
Mclean, secretary Of the lague. THE
primaries would remain wide open,
the same as now, to as many candi-
dates as might aspire to any Office.
= In other words, we do not wish
to do anything destructive but aim
at doing something constructive-but
the resolution adopted will speak for
itself"
First steps in this matter were TAX
en in the annual meeting of the lea
que held year ago, when a reso-
luton similar to the one adopted this
year was introduced and referred to
a committee consisting of L. E.
Schmitt, D. c. Lewis, Edward a. Nc
Lean, Lee Laughlin and Mrs. Will
lam Cary Johnson. This committee
at the league meeting on Monday re-
ported the following resolution;
Resoped by the Oregon State Lea
que of Republican Clubs in annual
Convention assembled that we de-
clare in favor of action by the next
legislature for the establishment un-
der proper safeguards and on tru-
ly representative basis, OF party con-
ventions, in county, state and cong
ressional districts, for sound reasons
among which might be mentioned
that under our present primary sys-
TEN Oregon loses one of the most
valuable features Of the party sys-
tenn OF government-that is, the dis
cussion of the most important pub
lie questions in party counsels and
the framing Of constructive public
programs in the platforms of party
conventions and the election Of pub
lie officers properly pledged to carry
out the platforms approved by the
people. Such party conventions
would take nothing away from the
present direct primary system, They
would simply add to it. The voters
in the primaries would have the alb
solute power Of decision, the same
as now.
And be it further
Resolped that our Secretary be in

luton to every Republican candidate

to give publicity, as far as possible
to these answers, in order that the

pear to be overwhelmingly in favor

each legislative candidate in the May
primaries stands on this question.
Seymour Jones, speaker OF the
house in the 1919 legislature anC
M. F. Hardesty Of Astoria, took ar
active part in the discussion of the
wording of the resolution which was
finally adopted unanimously.

Schools OUT Say
Happy Youngsters

Flinging their hats into the air,
shouting lnstily, dancing, frolicking,
there will be one hundred happy
pounding their way out of
school buildings tomorrow afternoon
to every one lad who iags behind with
q tear in his eve and desire to keep
school going during the summer
months.
It's just the simple little axiom that
boys will be boys" and "girls will
be girls" and that where there's
youth there is greater demand for fun
than for work. So when these $4,000
children--in Wausau and Marathon
county find that the cells are thrown
open, you can't blame them, under
standing children, for their happiness,
can you?
Grade schools in Wausau will end
the year tomorrow afternoon when all
children will call for their report
cards. In the county most of the
schools are through for the year.

COMMITTEE FOR
FOURTH MEETS
JULY 4TH PLANS WILL BE
DISCUSSED FRIDAY
EVENING

That no Fourth of July will again
pass unnoticed in Wausau is made
certain by the effective Fourth of July
committee organized last year and
which is again ready to work out
plans for the observance of this great
day of independence in 1922. George
l.. Ruder, secretary, announces, that
a meeting of last years committee and
others interested, will be held tornor-
row evening at the court house.
O. A. Biller was president of last
years committee. Following were the
chairmen who last year directed the
program: transportation, A. H. Zim-
norman; music, Edward Gamble; ath-
letic contest, Wakelin McNeel; fire.
works, Joseph Komers; floats, Roy A.
Chellis; parade, Major Frank l.. Gott-
schalk; patriotic exercises, Supt S.
b. Tobey; speakers, Mayor Emil Flat
ter; cooperation of fraternal organi-
cations, D. v. Hart; programs, Capt.
E. /. Lucas; privileges and conces-
sions, Hugo Mumm, and publicity, R.
III. Johnson.
1t is anticipated that the program
for this year will be somewhat SINH
lar to that carried out in 1921. Re-
veille was sounded by trumpeters ear
ly in the morning and about the mid
die of the morning the 12Sth Infantry
band gave a concert at the court house
square. The parade took place in the
morning, there being many attractive
floats. The forepart of the afternoon
was given over to patriotic exercises.
Athletic competitions for the young
people completed the program in the
afternoon. Many people remained at
Marathon park, where the observance
was held. and in the evening there
was an excellent display of fireworks.
New officers will be elected and
the committee of last year will he re-
organized. The committee conducted
the arrangements and the program
last year in business like way and
received the commentator of all cit
lzens in the community. Money was
generously contributed und the treas
urer was able to return a small sum
to each of the contributors after all
expenses had been paid.

standing around the doors on Friday
and Saturday evening, he thought diff
ferent and made arrangements TO have
them all admitted. Thus almost 200
