The ire of her parents and fellow
tribesmen was aroused and enmfty
grew between her tribe and that OF
her husband. Eut the marriage had
already taken place and the best that
could be done was to demand rich
dowry from the family and tribe of

MOORE WON'T RELEASE
IDAHO I.W.W. C0NVICTS

Boise, Idaho-Gov C. C. Moore
made immediate reply today to the
suggestion that he follow President
Coolidge by liberating L. w. w. pris-
oners at Christmas time He denied
any parallel, as the Idaho convicts
are not in any sense war prisoners,
and said their own conduct since i'm
prisonment has barred them from
pardon or parole.
The Chicago telegram received by
Governor Moore and his reply are as
follows: "Hon. Chas. C.Moore, Gov
ernor of Idaho, Boise, Idaho-Presi-
dent Coolidges unconditional re-
lease of all of the federal 1. W. w.
PRISONERS sets precedent. We
earnestly ask you to follow this COM
ing Christmas season in the case or
A. S. Embree, H. F. Herde and R.
Quackenbush, imprisoned under the
state criminal syndicalism law for
membership in the I. w. w. These
workmen are as much entitled to
freedom as those pardoned by the
president. Justice and public opin-
ion call for their release.
Harry Feinberg, secretary gen
eral defense committee, Chicago, Ill
president Coolidge pardoned war
prisoners who were convicted Oh
draft interference or activities hos
tile to the proper pursuance of the
war. Embree, Herde and Quacken-
bush were found guilty by jury of
~ Idaho citizens of melting riot and
destruction of property, violating
state law which has been upheld by
the supreme court and which is still
on the statute books. In fact, ano-
ther man was convicted last week in
North Idaho, under the same act.
Further, the men by their action and
conduct since being confined in the
state penitentiary have forfeited con-
sideration looking toward parole by
the state board. There can be no
just comparison with President Cool
idge's action, since these men are not
war or political prisoners.

BLANKS READY FOR
income RETURNS
SIMPLIFIED FORM PROVIDED
FOR INCOMES FROM SALAR-
les UNDER 5000

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Evan Evans of the district of Idaho:
Assured by the bureau of internal
revenue of prompt service in furnish
ing the necessary forms, taxpayers
need experience no delay in the fill
ing of their income tax returns for
the year 1928. The filing period is
from January L to March Is, 1924. On
January 2-the 1st being a holiday
forms for filing individual, corpora
ton, partnership, personal-service
corporation, information, fiduciary,
and other returns required by the
revenue act will be available at the
office of collector of internal revenue
Boise, Idaho, and at the branch Of
flee in Pocatello. After January 2,
a copy of the form desired may be
obtained on written request.
New Form Tor Small Incomes
Form 1040A, heretofore used for
filing returns of individual net in
come of $4,000 and less, from what
ever source derived, has been revised
and simplified in the interest of the
largest class of taxpayers, salaried
persons and wage earners. The new
form will be used for reporting net
income for the year 1928 of $1,000 and
less derived chiefly from salaries and
wages. Reducing to a minimum the
problem of correctly making out an
income tax return. Form 1040A con-
sists of a single sheet in which space
is provided for answers to only three
questions in relation to income: sal
aries, wages, commissions, ETC.; in
terest on bank deposits, notes, mort
cages, and corporation bonds, and
ut ba1. IN 40 roy cir a
are are instructions. Formerly Form
1040A has consisted of six pages, the
questions pertaining not only to sal
aries and wages, but TO income from
business, professions, sales of real
estate, and other sources. 1t is es-
timated that for the year 1923 more
than 1000, ,000, or 20 per cent of those
who annually are required to file in
come tax returns, viii use the new
form,
Persons, any part of whose income
FOR the year 1923 was derived from
business or profession, farming, sale
of property or rents, regardless of
the amount, will be required to use
the larger form, 104O. The use of
Form 1910 will be required, also, in
cases where the net income was in
excess of $4,000, whether from sal
ary, business, profession, or other
taxable sources. Formerly Form1040
was used only for reporting individ-
ual net incomes of more than $4,000
Forms for filing individual returns
of income will be sent to persons who
filed similar returns for the year
1922. 1t being impossible to determ-
inc this. year the form desired by the
taxpayer-whether he be be a man
whose income was derived chiefly
from salary or wages or from buSi-
ness, profession, or other taxable
taxpayer will receive
both forms, and is advised to note
carefully the instructions regarding
their use.

GOVERNOR MOORE
TO WRITER
SOME IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW
YORK TIMES CONTRIBUTOR
ON IDAHO EXECUTIVE

| I'm my judgement Idaho will make
no mistake if she shall keep Charlie
Moore in her executive chair indefini-
/ telyo' says Alfred Holman, Editor
San Francisco Argonaut, in the New
York times, of November IS, after
spending a month in Idaho last sum-
mer; s'and [ wish it were possible
that the country everywhere might
bring in its service statesmen simil-
arly sound-minded, similarly plain
spoken. Most grievously the country
needs what rarely it finds in its high
er officials-the mind and the cour-
age essential to leadership in public
thought and in political action.
There is little of filigree work
about Charlie Moore He is a COM
pOsite of a country school teacher and
dirt farmer, with something of the
physical appearance of both. But he
looks more a farmer. Knowing some
thing of his antecedents and having
learned various contacts that the
wheat growers of Idaho were dispos-
ed to call upon the government for
special forms Of aid, l approached
Governor Moore with diplomatic gin
gerliness. L discover, l said, among
many of your constituents a senti-
ment to the effect that the govern
ment ought by some means to con
troll arbitrarily the price of wheat.
upon the instant the governor
gave me both barrels: L am a wheat
farmer he said, and unless some
thing happens I am broke. But the
fact does not alter principles either
economic or political. Government
regulation of one commodity would
justify government regulation of 9TH
er and perhaps all commodities. That
would lead to socialism and the next
step would be revolution Proceed
ing, Governor Moore pointed out that
in fixing an arbitrary price for sill
yer under the necessities related to
the world war the government had to
a degree sbal1ed up the public mind
with respect to it's ability to fix pric-
es for other commodities in disre-
gard of their market value. What
was justified and even necessary as
a war measure, in the matter of silv-
er, would be wholly and fatally mis-
chievous if regarded as a precedent
in normal times.
ct ventured to ask him if he in
tended to be candidate for reelection
next year, and here, as in relation to
other things, he was outspOken. Il
have he said, made no announce
ment, and I don't know that I shall,
but if L should be a candidate there
will be no misunderstanding about
my views with respect to anything.
The basis of my position is founded
In the fact that / am a straightline
republican, a believer in party organ
ization, holding that any man who
accepts election by a party is bound
by its commitments / give not the
exact words of the Governor, but the
spirit Of what he said. l left him
after a two-hour talk with profound
sense of respect for a man who has
not permitted the influence of official
life either to cloud an honest mind
Or to curb an honest tongue"
