PENALTY Fer DELINQUENT
INCOME AK PAYERS
Numerous Changes Made in Revenue
Laws That VIII Tend to Make
Them More, Stringent

Income tax-pay ers in Wisconsin
who fail to make correct returns or
who falsify the amount of their in
come, face a progressive penalty
under regulations announced by the
state tax commission under provi-
sion of an act passed by the 1923
legislature.
The imposition of this penalty is
but one of number of changes Of
marked Importance in the Wisconsin
revenue laws, affecting corpora
tions, partnerships and banks, ac-
cording to the tax commission an
nouncement. Although it failed to
make a general revision of the in
come tax law, the legislature is
shown to have strengthened the
present statutes and to have
broadened their scope.
To aid the tax commission in its
search for unpaid income taxes, the
legislature appropriated 100000
annually to be used for the sup
port of field auditors checking up
returns back to January /, 1915.
Commissioner Carroll Atwood an
nounced that this appropriation
would provide for twenty men in
the field.
''To encourage the report of
correct income tax returns, the
legislature gave the commission
authority to exact penalties from
those who report incorrectly or
falsify," Mr.. Atwood said "The
commission has established the
penalty which calls for an additional
assessment against back incomes
ranging from S.63 per cent of the
income tax for 1921 to 6S.63 per
cent on unreported income taxes of
1915, the last year in which the
commission is given authority to
investigate.
Announcement was made that from
to 10 new field auditors would
augment the present force now in
vestigating corporation and individu-
al returns. The commission estimates
that over $1,0O0,0O0 additional in
come tax will be uncovered by the
field men this year, when the
penalty is added.

NOT so MANY POTATOES IN

July Report of Crop Reporting Ser
vice Shows Reduction of
1870 in Acreage.

A reduction of III in the acre
age of potatoes features the July
report of the State and Federal
Crop and Livestock Reporting Ser
vice Mt Madison. 1t is estimated
that the potato acreage in Wiscon-
sin this year is 272 thousand acres
compared to 328 thousand acres
last year and 315 thousand acres in
1921. This is the smallest acreage
that Wisconsin has planted since
1908. Farmers explained the re-
duction by a series of Improbable
potato years, by low prices in 1920
and 1922. and by short yields in
1921. The reduction is greatest in
the northwestern part of the state,
where the acreage this year repre-
sents 1879 of last years acreage.
The condition of potatoes in Wis
consin on July l is estimated by
crop correspondents to be 88Gc of
normal. The condition on July
last year was 800, the same as for
average of the July ! condition for
the past five years. Planting in most
of the potato sections was somewhat
later than usual, and the crop on
July / was therefore lacking some

pour from Pike creeks and the deep
artesian wells through the breeding
places of those thousands upon
thousands of speckled beauties here
at Salmo, just outside Bayfield,, and
where after some four or five years
a great school of trout has achieved
two and three pound size and all the
domesticity and amiability of collie
puppies.
For this is the incubator and the
home of the trout, of speckled and
rainbow, Of abin0 and steelhead, of
Columbia river salmon and sturgeon
and several other varieties, each
and all of which r. l.. Ripple knows
by their first names and has them
come and eat out of his hand. This
is literally true. 1t is enough to
wrap the soul of any fisherman to
see thousands of two pound speckl-
ed trout following a man around the
sides of a pond and leaping over
each other to display their affection
fer him.
But pity the poor alblnO. He
never can thrive in these waters of
the Last Great West. What with
his blonde whiskers and his silver
sides he hasn't a fiddler's chance in
these streams and lakes where
voracious monsters of darker hue
can find him. The albino must lead
an exclusive life in q pond or lake
or creek all his own, so the chances
of going out and getting a string of
albinos is slim.
But the big trout hatchery is up
setting an old theory. That
Columbia river salmon must develop
in salt water and return to fresh
water to spawn, and as a result these
salmon are being propogated ana it
will be only a few years until the
bays and rivers along Lake Superior
have their quadrennial migrations.
1t has been found that it is not salt
water, but deep water the Columbia
river salmon seeks, so millions Of
the fry are being Matched and placed
so they can migrate into the depths
