the Barbara Worth hotel, and were
given "a few statistics and histori-

Valley by eloquent James r. Coyle,
the secretary of the local chamber
of commerce. He stressed the fact
that the value of crop production in
the valley for one year equallad the
assessed valuation of land in the
entire district, and only half the
land was under cultivation, state
ment that considerably impressed
the farmers in the party.

TAX LISTS WILL
BE OPENED TO
PUBLIC IN |. A.
Goodcell Says Figures
Available to All
Inquirers

Tn n statement made public yes
terday by the collector of Internal
Revenue, Rex p. Goodcell, announce
ment is made that he has received
detailed Instructions from the com
missioner of informal revenue III re-
gard to the preparation of lists of
taxpayers for public inspection.
The revenue act which was ap-
proved on June 2, 1924, provides
that there shall bo prepared and
made available to public inspection
in the office of the collector in
each internal revenue district, lists
containing tha name and the post
office address of each person filing
an income tax return in such dis
trict. The law also provides that
the amount of income tax paid by
each person shall be shown.
The collector explained that the
bureau of internal revenue inter
prets this provision of the act as
applying to all returns of income
made after January l, 1924 wheth-
or filed under the provisions of the
revenue act of 1924 or prior income
tax acts. The collector further
explained that the term "pers0n J,
means an individual, trust or es-
tat", partnership, or 4 corpora
ton.
1t was stated that the lists re-
quired by the new revenue law are
now available for inspection i'll the
collector s office and that the col
lector has designated one of his en-
ployees to assist all persons making
inquiry to obtain the information
to Which they are entitled by virtue
of the new revenue law.
Lists Will Be Opens
The lists which will be open to
tho public are the official assess
ment lists and they will show a
complete history of each person s
transactions with the government in
regard to his income tax matters.
The name and postoffice address
will appear on the lists, as we'll as
the amount of tax paid on all origi-
nal and additional assessments, also
penalty and interest payments.
The collector stated that the open
ing of the assessment lists to the
public may interfere to some extent
with the work of his office. The
additional duty also means the loss
of at least part of the services
from his regular duties of the en-
ployee assigned to assist persons
desiring to inspect the lists. The
collector stated, however, that it
is the desire of the internal reve-
nue. service to afford every facili-
ty to persons seeking the rnforma-
tion to which they ARE entitled and
that he is prepared to cooperate
with the public 20 the fullest pos
sible extent.
The assessment lists are, of course
the basis for all the collector s
bookkeeping transactions and any
additional information that might
be compiled would have to be taken
from these lists. The opening OF
the official assessment lists 20 the
public eliminates all possibility of
error that might be made i'll iran
scribing the information and there
can be no question whatsoever as
to the authenticity of the informa-
tion given to the public.

HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM SCORES
GREAT VICTORY
BY FLOYD G. FARRAR
(High School, Junior College
Reporter)

Coach Armstrong deserves much
credit for the way his 91en ds6~rt-
ed the Calexico Bulldogs There Sat
urday afternoon by a score of 30-6.
FL Centre started with u series of
line plunges and backed Calexico
down the field in great shape. Bill
Peters was first to score when he
made Il ten yard run for a touch
down in the first quarter of the
game. Allan kicked goal. In the
second quarter n series of line
plunges and end runs put the ball
on the ten yard line where Allan
made a place kick, scoring an addi-
tional three points. Later in same
quarter volley of line pnnges
again backed Calexico and touch
down was scored with Allan kicking
goal. The second quarter was hard
fought and ended scorelesa.
The FL Centre line showed great
power in this quarter and succeeded
in preventing Calexico from scoring.
Passing was eminent in third quar-
ter aid tumble by Peters lost ball
on two yard line. A punt by Ag-
guere put the ball in Central's hands
and long run by Sawyer brought
the ball to the favorable position.
A line buck put ball over in this
quarter and Allan again kicked goal.
Agguere made 40 yard pass to Nc
Daniel who made q 40 yard run put
ting the ball on 10 yard line. Me
Daniel put ball over on second down
but failed to kick goal Ell Centre
III first part of last quarter gained
ground steadily and Peters by a line
plunge put ball over white line. Al
Ian failed to kick goal.
Many Witness Game
Many Ell Centre business men and
women, as well as students, turned
out to see the game. El Centre root
ing squad consisted Of between $50
and 200 rooters, while that of Calex-
leo was less than so. 1t is believed
that the reason for the large at
tendance was due to the extensive
advertising Friday night when the
large serpentine invaded the down
town streets. More school spirit
was shown at this game by Ell Cen
tro students than has been shown
for years. Between halves the stu
dents formed a serpentine and
marched around the field giving
yells for both teams.

U. S. WON'T HAVE HIM;
HAS NO PLACE TO GO

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Aaron
Schwarz, % years old, a strong man
in vaudeville, is wondering how he
is going to get out of the United
States. He has just learned that in
"a sense he is a man without a coun-
try. While on tour he came into the
United States through Laredo, Tex,
which is not recognized port of
entry. Not interfered with, Schwarz
continued with the company until i'm
migration inspectors located him and
told him he could not remain in the
United States, as he lacked a pass
port.
He volunteered to depart on his
own accord and was not sent to Ellis
Island. When he appeared today to
board the steamship Cleveland, bound
for Hamburg, the officials would not
let him sail because he did not have
credentials permitting him to enter Ger
many. Schwarz is Ukrainian, but per-
formed in France for more than year.
Schwarz said that If he could get
a steamship company to permit him
TO sail he would come back with
proper Credentials and continue his
tour.
In the meantime Schwarz is free on
his own recognizance. The United
States does not want him and the
steamship companies won't take him
10 Europe. Schwarz is wondering
what he will do, He has no papers to
establish his nationality Guess I'll,
have 20 take and manage you" said
Miss Beatrice Nadler, his aancee.
