Declares Colleges
Teach Law Breaking

Maids oil scandal that is
sweeping the country today can be
traced to the colleges" DR.. Sherwood
Eddy, Y. M. G.. A. worker told an au-
dience of students at Wisconsin uni
versity. 1Gambling, cribbing and
cheating are learned in college, and it
is known fact that only one boy in
a hundred ever changes his moral life
after college," DR.. Eddy continued.
Gambling nations are backward ma
tions, and backward nations are gam
bling nations. When you sit down to
quiet game of poker, just think
the money is yours or not.
"Law enforcement is another impor-
tant asset. Are you honest in your
actions? 1t isn't joke to try and
beat the laws. just joke a quiet
game and little fun, drink and the
result is often suicide"
DR.. Eddy also scored ''petting
parties" as an evil which is under
mining the moral standards of uni
versities.
''It is the girls on the campus that
keep the standards of the university
high" he said. "The standards of
your mother are not out of date Every
girl and every man has his place in
keeping morals up"

One Year Term
Declares Ekern
Attorney General Hands Down Ruling
Regarding Length of Term of
County Supervisors.

All county supervisors to be elected
in Kenosha county at the coming
spring election are to be chosen for a
one-year term, according to the opin-
ion handed down today by Attorney
General Herman Ekern to County
Clerk Charles Holderness of Kenosha.
Doubt as to the Interpretation of the
new law had arisen as to whether or
not the. supervisors from the city
wards were named for a one or for a
two-year term. The attorney general
stated that they were to be elected
for one-year term unless the city
council had adopted a resolution
changing the term of Office to two
years. No such resolution has been
adopted in Kenosha.
The law is specific that the super
visors from the districts in the coun-
ty outside of the city of Kenosha are
to be chosen each year.

ONLY TEN DAYS
NOW ARE LEFT
Only Ten Days More in
Which to File Income
Tax Returns.
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG

With only ten days remaining in
which to file income tax returns, tax
payers are warned against delay III
Forwarding their returns to collect
ors of internal revenue in statement
issued this morni. G by A. H. Wilkln-
son, collector of internal Revenue for
the District of Wisconsin.
Comparison of the number of re-
turns filed ruring the months of jan
uary and February with those filed
during the corresponding period OF
1923 shows a decided decrease. This,
no doubt, is in part attributable to
the desire of taxpayers to take full
advantage of the proposed reductions,
and especially of the 25 per cent re-
duction on income for the year 1928.
However, the tax on income for the
year 1923 is being collected under the
Revenue Act of 1921, which is still IN
effect, and which provides heavy PEN
alties for failure or "willful refusal
to file return and pay, at least, one
fourth Of the tax on, or before, March
ID, 1924. The Revenue Act of 1924,
containing this and other proposed re-
auctions, is now before Congress and
there is little likelihood of its enact
ment prior to the closing day of the
filing period.
Rebate Would Be Made.
The proposed 25 per cent reduction
in the tax on income for the year
1923 is retroactive to January 1, 1928.
Enactment of the pending legislation
means, in the case Of taxpayers who
pay on the installment plan, revi-
sion of their accounts in the offices
of the" Collectors by crediting the ac-
counts with one fourth of the amount
of the tax declared to be due on the
return. In those cases where the tax
the returns, the % per cent excess
will be refunded promptly without
the requirement of fling a claim.
No material advantage is to be gain
ed by taxpayers who withhold their
returns which should be made out in
accordance with the provisions of the
Revenue Act of 1921, the normal tax
rate being per cent on the first
$4,000 of net income above the ex-
emptions and per cent on the re-
naming net income and the surtax
ranging from 1 per ,cent on the
amount of net income between $4,000
and $4,000 to fifty per cent on the
amount by which the net income ex-
ceeds 100000.
Who Must File Returns.
Every single person, whose net in
come of 1923 was $1,000, or more, or
whose gross income was $4,000, or
more, must file return. Married per-
sons Giving together), are required
to file a return if the aggregate net
income was $4,000 or more, or if the
aggregate gross income was $4,000, or
more. Single persons, in calculating
the normal tax, may subtract from
their income an exemption of $1,000.
The exemption for married persons
and heads of families is $4,000 on in
comes of $1,000 or less, and $4,000 on
incomes in excess of $4,000. Taxpay-
ers are allowed also an additional
credit of $500 for each eprson (other
than husband or wife) dependent up
on and receiving his chief support
from the taxpayer, if such dependent
person is under 18 years of age, or
incapable of self support because
mentally or physically defective.
