Not Properly Verified. Judge
Holds When 1t Is
Questioned

The information against Peter
SHE" of Mott. charged with violat-
ing federal liquor laws, was quaShed
in federal court here today on the
ground that the information signed
hy United States District Attorney
NJ. A. llildreth was. not verified and
not supported by accompanying af-
fidavit.
Because the matter affects many
cases Federal Judge Miller dictated
n written opinion in the matter.
The question was raised by Will
liam LANCER, attorney for Siller.
who asserted that the information
was faulty since il was not sworn
to, nor was it accompanied by affi-
davit, and he did not believe :he
district attorney would claim per
sonal knowledge of the facts alleged
in the information. Mr.. LANCER said
several other cases originating IN
this district would be affected by
the ruling.
Alex Saborsky of Mclean county
and John Schimck of Morton county
pleaded guilty to violating the Vol
stood act and were fined S25 each.
When the trial of G. Il. Jones Of
Bismarck would start appeared prob =
lematicul. because his attorneys are
engaged in other matters.

FALLING MARKS

save marks while they are falling

which hrs real value. Such persons
seldom have enough to buy foreign
money, SO they acquire articles
! which will always be in demand.
Furthermore. they usually have
, these purchases made in some small
town, where prices are lower than in
the great centers which know more

MANY WAYS TO
CATCH YOU FOR
INCOME TAXES
Did You Receive AlimOny
: During Year, Is Question
Asked by Collector

The following statement is issued
by Gunder Olson, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, Fargo, District Of
North Dakota.
Did you receive alimony during,
the year 1922? Were you successful
in breach of promise suit entered
against former admirer?
Personal questions, very. but i'm.
portant to those to whom they apply
return, for 1922.
Amounts received as alimony are
not taxable income. Such payments
do not have to be included in the
income tax return Of the person re-
ceiving them, nor may they be de-
Quoted from the gross income Of the
person paying them. In this respect,
payment Of alimony may be likened
to a personal .or living expense.
which is not deductible. However, a
woman who has won breach Of
, promise case, or has accepted out OF
court settlement as heart balm,
must include the amount in her in
come tax return. The Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue has ruled in such
cases that the amount received dis
not to be regarded as a return Of
capital, since the benefits of which
the insured party was deprived were
merely anticipatory."
Members of labor union may
deduct as business expense dues
paid to such organizations during
the year 1922. Such dues are held
by the Bureau to be necessary ex-
penses incident to the earning Of
their wages. A member Of labor
union who, while on strike, receives
payment from an organization must
include it in his income for the Year
such items. -,
The taxpayer who in 1922 recover
ed damages for defamation Of per-
sonal character need not include IN
his return such amount, mas ds
it has been held to, be taxable
income. The revenue act specifical-
/ ly eXempts amounts received through
accident or health insurance, or un-
der workmens' compensation acts as
compensation for personal injuries
or illness, plus any additional
amount received by suit or agree
ment in such cases.
To avoid penalty, returns should
be filed on or before midnight Of
March Is. Free advisory service IN
the preparation of the forms is Of
fered at the office of the Collector
of Internal Revenue, at Fargo, and
branch offices at Grand Forks. De-
