TROUBLE MUST BE
REAL TO GET
ATTENTION
winter event

Inquiries on the construction and
working of the new Federal tax law
are becoming so numerous that the
force of clerks and assistants in the
office of Collector John P. Carter are
up to their eyes in getting out the
answers. In order to cut down as
much of this work as possible and to
confine the work to the actual neces-
sites of the taxpayers, Collector Car
ter has sent out the following, COW
ering one of the points involved:
Requests are being received daily
for rulings and advice upon abstract
cases or prospective transactions in
volving questions Of income tax and
profits liability. These requests are
so numerous and the insistance on
prompt action so great that it seems
advisable at this time definitely to
outline the bureaus policy which will
govern the consideration of these re-
quests.
"The Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1921
depart widely at many points from
prior law or practice, and have given
rise to new questions of such import
ance, complexity, and number that the
resources of the bureau are no more
than adequate to advise taxpayers
promptly of their present liabilities
arising out of past transactions. 1t is
impossible to answer every question
which the invention or ingenuity of
the inquirer may devise without ne
glecting the fundamental duty of de-
termining tax liability upon the basis
of actual happenings. Under these cir
cumstances, the administrative neces-
sity is obvious of giving precedence
over abstract or prospective cases to
actual cases in which the taxpayer de-
sires to know what are his immediate
liabilities under the law.
at will be the policy of the Bureau
not to answer any inquiry except un-
der the following circumstances:
"The transaction must be COM
pleted and not merely proposed
or planned.

WILDCAT CHARITY
IS DEPLORED BY
STATE BOARD
Rules Prescribed Under the Law BY
Which Relief Measures May BE
Undertaken in Any Community

This being the season of the year
when relief and charitable plans for
various projects are undertaken the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tons has requested the statewide pub
lication of the policy of the Board re-
garding the organization of charitable
undertakings and methods of solici-
tation of funds for the maintenance
thereof. The statement in full fol
lows:
"The State Board of Charities and
Corrections is by law required to sup
ervise, investigate, and in certain
cases to license charitable and cor
rectional institutions or agencies in
the cities, counties and state.
'In the exercise of this responsible
ity to license, the Board is called upon
to consider:
First: Proposals of individuals or
organizations to begin new work, and
Second: The methods in use or pro-
posed, for collecting and expendinng
funds for charitable and correctional
purposes.
''The Board has determined:
"That the burden of proof for the
need of new work must rest upon the
Individual or the organization propos-
ing to inaugurate it. The following
must be established beyond question
a. That the work is needed.
b. That the field is not already
adequately covered.
c. That the available financial
resources are sufficient to main
tain the work at the standard pre-
scribed by the State Board of
Charities and Corrections.
d. That the undertaking will
be supported by board of re-
sponsibe directors who are OBJ
ligated to give time and service
to it. These directors must as
sumo the responsibility for the
collection of moneys and for their
expenditure.
. ':The most approved standard for
the collection of funds is by sub
scription list where subscribers as
sumo a yearly responsibility to sup
port the work.
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections does not approve of any
method of raising funds which in
wolves an outlay of more than ten
per cent of the amount collected.
"The Board absolutely disapproves
of solicitation by children; especially
does it disapprove the method which
uses bows or girls to solicit funds or
sell articles on the streets and in pub
lie places.

DRY OFFICER
SOUGHT FOR
BY 60 \ |.
A c { n 7
Man Who Scared Ell Centro
Vets is Ex-Army Officer
Doing Stool Pigeon Work
for San Diego Dry Agent

One of the two federal officers ~
who invaded the Imperial Valley last
week has been discovered as "phony."
Using various names in various
places, flashing little gold plated
badge the first of these "dry sleuths"
to show up in the valley cut a wide
swath in Ell Centre and Calexico, and
caused an absolute drouth in the soft
drink places, so far as cider and fruit
juices of the home brew variety were
concerned.
Two days in FL Centro and one in
Calexico was his record. In the latter
town he disappeared and search for
him is now being vigorously made
without result.
The "dry" agent, it turns out, is A.
Brent, an ex-officer of the National
Army, with a record for service in
France and Belgium that was of cred
it to him. Charles Case, prohibition
enforcement officer with headquar-
ters in San Diego, who was respon-
sible for the trip Brent made here, is
doing the searching for him.
According to the story told by Case
Bfent came to him in San Diego and
said that he could assist in catching
one of the biggest illicit liquor run
ners in this part of the country if CIV
en- free hand in the matter. The man
appeared to know what he was talk
ing about and was given small sum
of money to purchase liquor, if pos
sible. Case followed several hours lat
er in an automobile to make any al
rests of persons disclosed by his new
assistant.
In the meantime, things had hap
pened in the mountains between San
Diego and Ell Centre. Brent is said to
have told everyone that he was a pro-
hibition officer and that he was going
to "clean up" the entire district by
rough methods. He is said to have en-
countered certain "hard boiled" vets
in the vicinity of Jacumba and to have
indulged in a battle, during which he
was roughly handled.
Everywhere else, as here, Brent is re-
ported to have told that he was an
officer of the prohibition service, and
left wide trail for his "chief" to fol-
low
Arrived at Calexico, the man is said
to have passed as an officer of the
immigration service, and to have then
disappeared completely.
Officials of the department of JUS
tice and prohibition officers are now
looking for the man, who left no trail
from CaleXico.
Case states that he can account for
the matter in no other way than that
it is case of dementia brought on
by shellshock sustained in action in
France.
Persons who met Brent here while
he was making his investigation as a
''prohibition officer" state that he ap-
peared in that time in every way sane
and rational.

BERKELEY, Cal, May 17.-Pacific
Coast colleges and universities must
guard against the evil of offering
Inducements to high school stars to
enter institutions of learning in re
ward for their athletic powers, ANDY
Smith, football coach at the Uni
yersity of California here, declared
on his recent return from the East.
Athletic and regional scholarships
and other Inducements have been
offered preparatory school boys in
the East If they would enter certain
colleges and play on the athletic
teams, Smith declared Over-enthusi-
astic alumni, he added often go so
far as to lend money to these men
with the condition that they pay it
back any time after leaving college.
What would happen to college
athletics if such practice should
continue?" Smith asked. Can any
one imagine anything more effective
in destroying the proper mental at
titude of a prep-school man toward
his college career or his career after
leaving college?
II have yet to see the man who
comes to college primarily for ath-
letics who amounted to much after
leaving. This practice destroys the
very heart and soul of pure anna
teur sport.
when the prep-school star can sit
back and say. What have you to
Offer? it surely is terrible state of
affairs. Should it come to a ques-
ton OF colleges outbidding one an
other for the service of the high
school stars, college sport would soon
sink into oblivion.

WHY A GRAY GOOSE?
Mr.. Wills EXPLAINS
Bird Typifies Speed, Power,
Grace and Endurance, Just
Like Auto.

Why the wild gray goose as the
emblem of d motor car?
That is a question heard very
often now that Wills Sainte Claires
are familiar sights on the highways
of the nation.
Inquiries by scores have been re-
ceived by the factory at Marysville
and by the hundreds OF distribu-
tors and dealers throughout the
country.
And here's the answer.
When the car was perfected. it
was felt by c. Harold Wills, master
designer, leading metallurgist and
production genius who created the
Wills Sainte Claire, and by his as.
sociates, that here was an advance
step in dependable and luxurious
motoring.
The car was unique in that IL en-
bodied many features of advanced
motoring construction - overhead
camshafts, tor instance. and climi-
nation or the fan belt-and so began
the hunt for an emblem that was to
some extent at least emblematical.
And Marvville, the home Of the
car--the city OF contented living
built from plowed fields to an in
dustrial cenler in a few months
was a striking and remarkable
achievement.
Should not the emblem. too ne in

ing gray goose--embodiment of speed
and power and grace and endurance
typical of the beautiful Sainte
Claire region, the Nortl,,and was
selected as a fitting symbol of Mr..
Wills distinguished achievement.
The pine trees of the locality and
the Mediterranean blue OF broad
Sainte Claire river on whose breast
floats all tn, commerce of the Great
Lakes, completes the picture.
Hence-the wild gray goose on
motor car.
