Suspension of Rules
cDT TT It'd TIE CTIND
SPLIT UP THE FUND
Mankato and Winona Educa-
tional institutions Will Be
Erected At Once

The Mankato and Winona Teach
ers' colleges will be reconstructed
Immediately. Money for this purpose
probably will be authorized today,
says The st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Representative Theodore Christi
anson's bill, appropriating $990,000
for this purpose, was passed unani-
uously by the house under suspen-
sion of the rules Thursday afternoon.
The bill will go to the senate to-
day, where it is believed sure to
pass, to be signed finally by the gov
ernor.
The appropriation authorized in the
Christianson bill marks a departure
from ordinary appropriation proceed
'ure. The entire amount will be re-
allied from a ave year certificate or
bond issue. Representative Chris
Hanson explained that this was ne
cessary in view of the fact that there
were no funds available from the
current tax revenue fund.
Moreover, the improvements to be
made are in the nature Of permanent
improvements, Representative Chris
Hanson pointed out, and their cost
is more equitably distributed if ex-
tended over a period of years.
The Christianson bill also author
ICES the expenditure Of $233, 1851 al
ready made in partial reconstruction
Of the burned buildings. This money
appropriated from the state insur-
ance fund wipes out that fund.
The five-y year certificates to be is
sued under the terms of the Chris
Hanson bill will bear a rate of in
terest not to exceed five per cent
This bond issue means an increase
of one tenth of a mill in the gen
eral tax levy during the life of the
certificates or bonds.

inquired Of one of the attendants

rection to pursue to go there. On
January 80 he visited the Schmid G
Lehrer hardware store and the gem
eral store of H. +. Dirks e Son,
purchasing merchandise at each one
of these establishments and In
payment of his purchases proffered
checks in the amount oil $11 and
$3.50 respectively. These were made
out to Ernest Howard and were
signed by Earl Matter.
Nothing was thought OF the mat
ter until the checks were presented
at local bank where the detection
was made that the signature of Mr..
Matter had been forged and the pa
per was worthless,
Mr.. Matter was Immediately noti-
ned and upon examining the checks,
stated that he had not issued them
and furthermore he was not ac-
qua1nted with said Ernest Howard.
A hurried investigation about the
city to detect the forger proved futile

his identity will remain unknown.

REGARDING INCOME TAX
Statement made BY L. Nj. Willcuts,
Internal Revenue Collector

Statement made BY L. Nj. Wilieuts,
Internal Revenue Collector
The numerous inquiries At the
revenue office relative to the Ii
ability of taxpayers for filing in
come tax returns have indicated
that there is still considerable doubt
in the mind OF the average individu-
al as to his status, according to l..
NJ Willcuts, collector Of internal
revenue, in y statement today.
Mr.. Willcuts believes tina t the
majority of taxpayers can satisfy
themselves as to- their liability by
first determining their status as a
single or married person. -,
A single person is an unmarried
person, a widow, or widower, or
married person living apart from
husband or wife on the last day OF
the taxable year. BY living apart Is
meant living apart by mutual con-
sent, not because one Of the parties
is temporarily absent or forced
through sickness to reside at hos
pital or asylum. Divorces are Gas
sified as single persons.
A married person is one living
with husband or wife on the last
day of the taxable year. In respect
to the taxable year for the twelve
months of 1922 a person married on
December 30th 1922 would be a
married person while person sep
arated by death or divorce from his
or her legal mate on December 80
would be a single person.
The liability for filing returns is
based on the amount of net income
for the year without taking into
consideration the amount of person
al exemption and credits for de-
pendents.
A single person should file when
the net income is 100000 or more
and a married person when the
combined net income of husband
and wife is $4,000 or more.
Any individual with gross in
come of 100000 or more must file
return, or when the combined
gross income of husband and wife
is $4,000 or more return must be
filed.
Personal expences such as doctor
bills, streetcar fare to work, cloth
ing and the like, are not deductible
from gross income In arriving at the
net income subject to tax. 81
Taxpayers who are in doubt are
urged to call at Revenue Office or
write to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, st. Paul, Mimi.
Many are now taking advantage
of the assistance offered and are
discharging their liability before the
March rush.
