An analysis of the income tax re
turns filed, and collections made there
on, from January l, to March Is fol-
the years 1921, 1922, and 1923 give:
the following summary:
AS most of the income tax returns
are filed each year during the period
from January / to March is, this
statement covers very large per-
centage of the returns filed for the
years indicated For 1921, total of
8073 taxable returns were filed, with
collections amounting to $3.50, 1881;
for 1922, there were 1856 returns filed
and collections in the sum Of $780,

For the year 1923, there were 1774
more taxable returns and 1864 more
non-taxable returns filed than for the

eral, " the bulletin continues, "that
these commercial vehicles should com
tribute in some way to the mainfen-
ance of the highways, built by the
public and maintained largely by auto
owners. A franchise tax. is suggested,
giving legitimately engaged concerns
protection, and removing the whole
business from the present road para
site status.
The association also finds general
opinion among auto owners that there
are determinations in the auto license
law that should be removed. The
opinion of the attorney general as to
truck licenses is disappointing, but
the attorneys of the association adj
wise that legislative instead Of court
action be taken.

ply Of wood is being consumed almost
four times as fast as it is grown. LAX
lyhood Of reduced cut is highly i'm
probable. Regardless Of the volume OF
our present stand, the ultimate result
of such condition is obvious. Di
viding the figure which represents
our present volume, by the amount
consumed less the volume grown, it
win be seen that our supply of timber
is rapidly diminishing.
About 1870 of our timber is owned
by private individuals and concerns,
and by the states. The balance rs
largely within National Forests Tim
Der under private ownership is being
cut much more rapidly than other, and
such will no doubt continue. An ef-
fort is being made to harvest National
Forest timber on the basis of sus-
tanned yield. Some states are adopt.
ing this practice and private individ-
uals are attempting to practice Forest
ry in some localities.
Prevention of forest fires, and reg
ulated cutting will do much to per-
petuate the timber supply of this re-
gion. Fire prevention can be prac-
ticed by each of us. Those owning
small tracts of timber may regulate
their cut and realize substantial re-
turn on the next crop. The value of
sut-over land depends largely upon the
condition in which it is left.

the finest achievement of all, how
ever was that the people found out
that the question of taxes rested with
themselves.
High taxes and postwar depression
combined to breed radicalism based on
ignorance. Lack of knowledge as to
where tax money was spent caused
suspicion of government and recrimin
alton and loose talk. Instead of a.
mass-meeting for more talk, commun-
ity and rural leaders put the farm
bureau to work ON the courthouse rec
ords. The information gained-th
most of the tax money was spent To-
cally for schools and county functions
was widely disseminated by precinct
meetings, posters and plain talks.
Here was a situation the people felt
that they could deal with, and all the
time they had thought the state gov
eminent was getting their hard earned
cash. They proceeded to deal. The
school levy came down under more ef-
ficient management, the company
building bridges for the county re-
turned $4,000 of unearned profits.
Hidden property was found by a
simple process, according to an article
in Farm and Fireside telling of this
awakening ON tax matters. The assess
ment rolls were copied for each pre-
cinct and posted in prominent places |
where all could read The kidding
that followed when, for instance, |
5000 diamond was found valued by its
owner at $25, and in endless similar
cases, shot the property valuation sky |
