Attention Is Called to
Income Tax Changes
Georgia Revenue Collector Urges Ne
cessity of Filing Returns.

Changes wrought by births deaths
and marriages during the last year
affect materially income tax returns
for the year 1928. Millions of babies
were added to family circles. For each
the parents, in addition to the personal
exemptions allowed married couples,
are entitled to a $500 credit for de-
pendent.
Boys and girls who became self
! supporting, and whose parents allow
them the use of their earnings without
restriction, form new class of tax
payers. Each must file an income tax
return and pay a tax on his or her
net income, if such income was in eX-
cess of $1,000. The earnings of de
pendent minor children who have not
| been t'emancipated"- allowed the use
of their earnings by their parents
must be included in the parents re-
turn of income.
Widows and widowers who lost
their spouses during the year 1928 are
especially affected Unless remarked
on or before December 81, 1928 or
the head of a family, they are allow
ed only the $1,000 exemption granted
single person.
Widows and widowers are not re-
quired to show on their individual re
turns the income of husband or wife
up to the time of death. The income
of decedent is considered separately,
and return must be filed by the
executor or administrator of the es-
tate. The executor or administrator
who makes a return for a decedent
is entitled to claim for his full per-
sonal exemption, according to his
status as a single or married person
at the time of death.
In an individual return the taxpay
ers status as of December 81, 1923,
determines the amount Of his eXemp-
tons and credits If on that day the
taxpayer was married and living, wife
or husband the exemption rs $500 if
the couples net income for 1928 was
$4,000 or less and $1,000 if the net
income exceeded $4,000. If single, the
exemption is $1,000.
If, on December 81, 1928, single
person. because of some moral or le-
gal obligation, was supporting in his
home one or more relatives over
whom he exercised family control he
was the head of family and is en-
titled to the same exemptions granted
a married person. If his support OF
such relatives, ceased during the year
he is entitled only to the $1,000 ex
emption. If dependent dies during
the year the $500 credit for such
e a11OV-ad
Taxpayers are reminded that the
period for filing returns ends. at mid
night of March 18th. Failure to file
within the time prescribed renders the
delinquent liable to heavy penalties

EXPERTSAGREE'
ON MODIFYING
OF DAWES PLAN
French Proposal in This Re.
spect Is Ratified at a
Long Session
YOUNG ENTHUSIASTIC
American Members of Dawes
Committee of Experts Sees
Early Settlement

London, Aug. (By the A. P.)-The
experts of the inter-allied repara-
tions conference indicated early this
afternoon that they expected to
settle all the outstanding problems
of the conference up to them for
solution, before the afternoon was
over.
The experts, who did not leave
Downing street until 2:15 o'clock this
morning, returned to their task at
IL o'clock and during a two hour
session adopted the French proposal
for the modification Of the Dawes
plan. They then adjourned to re-
assemble later in the afternoon.
The problem of transfers allotted
to the transfer commission under the
Dawes plan, is still causing trouble.
If the experts are unable to over
come the difficulty on this point
this afternoon the issue will be re-
ferred to the chief delegates.
Owen d. Young, of the Dawes ccm-
mittee, who has maintained an at
titude of restrained hopefulness ever
since Premier Herriot's plan was
produced, was enthusiastic when he
left the foreign office.
"WeIl finish up this afternoon"
he said.
If the experts conclude their work
this afternoon their reports will be
submitted to a plenary session of the
conference tomorrow.
The Americans believe the invi-
-tation to Germany will be dispatched
tonight.

GEN. H. l. SCOTT
VISITS IN n. D.
Noted Army Man Back to
Fort TOtten for Visit

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 1.-MajoI
General Hugh L. Scott, U. S. A., re-
tired, his grandson, Hugh L. Scott
I'd, and John Carochan, students at
Princeton university, arrived in the
city for a short visit, and were taken
to Fort Totten Indian reservation
by Noel Tharalson, where General
Scott will inspect the Indian school
and other departments there. Follow
ing the visit at the reservation, Cen
eral Scott and the youths will visit
for few days at the S. M. Rugar
home on Fifth street.
Major Scott, formerly chief of
staff of the army, was a second lieut.
enant stationed at Fort Totten in
1872, and he always has had a warm
spot in his heart for Devils Lake
and the reservation. His last visit
here was in 1917: At one time he
was commandant at the West Point
military academy, and in 1919 he was
major general at Camp Dix, one
of the big army cantonments.
His home now is at Princeton, N.
j. The party is making a tour of
the Indian reservations of the west
with General Scott apprising his
youthful companions of early days
when government troops were sta
toned at the various Indian posts.

Scott, was born on the Fort Totten
reservation while his father was sta
toned there.

NEW PROBE.
ORDERED
Attorney :. General Stone
Probes Gasoline Prices

Washington, Aug. Attorney
General Stone has ordered a further
inquiry into the gasoline price sit
uation. The report of the federal
trade commission on the subject,
made at the request of the presi-
dent. contains information, Mr.. Stone
said today, which warrants further
investigation Of the several phases Of
the problem.
Department officials described the
trade commissions report which has
never been made public, as "very in
teresting," but indicated that it was
incomplete in some ways, and the de-
partment Of justice will now delve
into the leads thus afforded. Mr..
Stone was said to believe that such
an inquiry might supply the govern
ment not only with better knowl-
edge of what is going on in the
whole oil industry, but with evidence
which it might use in its Injunction
suits recently filed in Chicago to
break up selling agreements based
upon use Of the so-called cracking
process in the industry.

COMMITTEES

Members of League Execu-
Tive CUmmittee See Moth
ing Unusual In 1t
ENDS fTs SESSION

The action of the Nonpartisan
League State Executive Committee
in not ratifying the action of the
statewide conference here in in
dorsing the presidential candidacy
of Senator Robert M. LaFollette was
not followed today by any formal
explanation on the part Of the exc
cutive committee.
The committee, which is composed
Of Ole Knutson of Grand Forks, Roy
Frazier of Crosby, and S. S. McQon-
old of Bismarck, had completed its
session following the statewide con-
ference of Wednesday, and laid plans
for the coming campaign. None of
the members Of the committee pro-
fsssed to see anything unusual in
the action of the committee regard
ing the failure to add the commit
tees Endorsement to the conference
Endorsement of LaFollette.
The conference adopted a motion
demonding that all Nonpartisan
League Endorsed candidates support
Senator LaFollette, but did not call
them before the conference to state
their attitude. The Second district
conference did, however, call aspir-
ants for the Endorsement for Con-
gress before it to demand assurance
that they would support the pro-
eressiye bloc in Congress.
A. G. Sorlie, the League candidate
for Governor, made no reference to
his attitude toward Senator LaFol-
lette. There are some Nonpartisans
who regard him as LaFollette man
while others regard him as more or
less favorable to the entire Repub-
lican ticket.

IRISH LEADERS
ARE SUMMONED
TO CONFERENCE
House of Commons Also Takes
Up Irish Question in
T0day's Session
Commons Informed Govern
ment to Seek Settlement
Regardless of Effect

London, Aug. 1, (By the A. P.)-
The House of Commons on reassem-
bling today took up the Irish ques-
tion. Colonial Secretary Thomas
said the government promised i'm
mediately to introduce legislation
giving effect to the Anglo-Irish
Treaty and to press for passage of
that measure through parliament re-
gardless of consequences to the gov
ernment.
He announced that he had invited
William T. Cosgrove. head of the
southern Irish government and Sir
James Craig. the Ulster premier, to
come to London to confer with him.
The proposed legislation would not
be introduced until he had met Mr..
Cosgrove and Sir James, but a bill
dealing with the treaty would be
introduced if they failed to agree
before the adjournment of parlia-
ment.
He hoped there would be no pas
sion or feeling in the discussion. He
said he had striyen continuously for
a peaceful settlement ever since he
had been in office. He was sure,
however, that the suggested legisia-
tion would be hotly contested and
that the long. controversy. would not
be settled smoothly.

PLAN BATTLE
IN WISCONSIN
Will Give LaFOllette Hard
Run in His Own State, G.
o. p. Scout Men Say

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Significant de-
velopments are expected by Republi-
can leaders to result from the situa-
ticn arising from the recent stimuli
taneous resignation of both members
of the Republican national commit
tee from Wisconsin. -.
In the view of party officials here
the designations last week of Com
mitteeman Ira S. Lorenz. of Mil
waukee. and woman member, Mrs.
Julia Anderson Schnetz, of Racine,
opens the way for a gradual 1eor-
ganization of the Republican ranks
in Wisconsin on a basis of "loyalty
to Republican principles"
Both retiring members are known
to have been closely allied politically
with the Republican faction in Wis
consin, which is controlled by Scna-
tor LaFollette, and their withdrawal
from the governing body of the party
is in some quarters regarded as a
token Of the eventual complete with.
drawal of Senator LaFollette from
the Republican ranks in Wisconsin.
Proceeding generally on this as
sumption. the Republican managers
Of the middlewest have given not a
little thought recently to steps cal
culated to rebuild the Republican
organization in the Badger state
along orthodox lines, or in such fash
ion as will guarantee. Support Of
the Republican ticket and platform
by the Republican organization"
In the view af many of the ".regu-
lars" as they have been revealed to
the party chiefs here, the LaFollette
strength in Wisconsin has been quite
as much Republican as. .LaFollette
and from this assumption they pre-
dict that with the senator definitely
separated from the Republican ticket,
the party may quickly be re-estab-
lished along lines in complete har-
mony with the national program.

SORLIE ATTITUDE

nominated for governor in the Re-
publican primary last June returned
last night from Bismarck, where he
ATTENDED the conference of Nonparti-
san League members which resulted
in the Endorsement of the presiden-
ttial candidacy of Robert NJ. LaFol-
lette.
Asked last night as to what his po-
sition was in regard to the LaFol-
lette Endorsement, Mr.. Sorlie declar-
ed that the only statement he cared
to make at this time was that as a
candidate for state officer, he was
interested in the state campaign but
was not ready to take part in the
national battle.
+ He pointed out that at the meet
ing of the Nonpartisan League ex-
ecutive committee held today fol-
lowing his departure from Bismarck.
no action had been taken to ratify
the LaFollette Endorsement made at
the conference. The conference, he
said was merely advisory so far as
the executive committee was con-
icerned.
