THIS PRICE OF EXISTENCE

| What we know is what counts
Nature is unrelenting in requiring
knowledge as the price of existence
and every penalty that we pay is one
assessed against ignorance. Ignorance
is not only a curse, but is the only
thing that prevents us from doing any
thing we may want to do.
Death is the final price.
Mosquitoes in the south were the

HOW CHANGE IN
TAX LAW WILL.
AFFECT PUBLIC

Second installments ON income taxes
will be due June 10, it is announced
by Evan Evans, internal revenue col
lectOr for Idaho, who has issued a
statement showing how the tax re-
ductiOn law will affect those. who
have still some to pay and those who
paid in full Those who paid three
fourths of the amount of taxes at the
time they filed their returns will have
no further payments to make, 1t was
announced, for those who paid one
half, no payment will be due until
September Is. Those who paid one
fourth of their total will have to pay
on or before June is one-half OF he
amount paid at the time of filing re- |
turn. If the tax was paid in full |
refund of one-fourth of the payment |
will be received from the government.
In brief, the new law means that
every individual subject to income
tax will be relieved of one-fourth of
the tax liability which he reported on
or prior to last March 10
STATEMENT BY COLLECTOR
In his statement. Mr.. Evans says:
Taxpayers who paid only one
fourth of their tax in March, how
ever, should not make the mistake of [
thinking they may take credit for the +,
full 20 percent reduction at once and I
not pay anything when the second in {
stallment comes due. The new law |
provides that the % percent reduc- /
ton shall be prOrated over all four
installments. For instance, if an in
dividual reported a tax of 800 on his
return, he can consider that the new
law reduced his tax to $40. II he paid =
S25, or one-fourth of the amount re-
ported when he filed his return. then :
he must pay $3.50 on or before June .
10 This amount, together with the y
S25 previously paid, will make up one 4
half of the SIS. A simple way for
taxpayer to arrive at the amount of II
his June payment is to remember that CT
4 his March payment was one-fourth oil
If the amount shown on his return, CT
his June payment will be just one CT
lalf of his March payment. The tax W
unpaid after June 15 may W
'e paid in equal installments on or co
'efore September 10 and December he

of course, have nothing further to pay
this year, unless additional tax is dis
closed when their returns are audited.
There will, no doubt, be many individ-
uals who will desire to Settle their
tax accounts in full now that the %
percent reduction Is ain accomplished
fact. The amount due in any instance
where taxpayer desires to pay in
full will be the total amount of tax
shown at the time of filing the re-
turns, less % percent, and less the
amount paid at the time of filing the
same. Such action would be advan-
tage0us from the governments view
point as it would eliminate consider
able bookkeeping
I'm view of the fact that tax notices
were prepared prior to the enactment

return may receive notice from the
advising of the amount as
,essed,- amount paid, and the remain
ng balance, but in cases of this ma
.ure no further payment is due. The |
payment made in June, plus the |
mount already paid, must equal one
lalf of the total tax due, after taking
he % percent deduction. Likewise,
he amount paid in September plus
he amount previously paid must
quail three-fourths of the total tax,
after the % percent deduc-
ION has been taken. The remainder
the tax liability will be payable on
r before December 10. .

Tuchun of Kiangsu. were again ham
mering away at the line held by the
Chekiang army near that town to-
night.
According to an eye witness from
Quinsan, where the Kiangsu army has
established its headquarters. Chi's
officers consider this battle along the
bank Of the estuary of the Yangtze
with the Woosung forts as it's objec
tive, as the most important of the
present campaign, and reinforcements
are continually being sent there by
land, while junkS are waiting to take
more men to the fighting line as soon
as Liuho has been captured. 1t is the
belief of these officers that the fall
of this little town, heretofore con-

the way to Woosung.

American destroyers are reported
anchored off the town ready to afford
protection to Americans. of whom

FIRST SMITHSONIAN
HEAD TO BE HONORED
Albany Citizens to Erect Statue to
Prof. Henry, Pioneer in
Wireless Experiments.

Funds have been subscribed by the
citizens of Albany, n. Y, to erect a
monumental statue of the late Prot
Joseph Henry, the great American
scientist and for many years head of
the Smithsonian Institution.
Albany is the birthplace OF DR.
Henry, where he was a teacher in
1881. and where he made the first
successful experiments in long-d1s-
tance electric tran nsmissions, now
conceded by the scientists OF the
world as the origin of or basis OF
wireless communications.
Prof. Henry discovered the osciI-
latory character of the electric dis
charge and, anticipating the wire
less telegraphy of 1900. induced cur
rents at distance. He entered the
field of the induction of currents as
early as 1927. obtaining sparks from
a common magnet before he made
his electro-magnets, thus making the
discovery Of magnetic electricity be-
fore Faraday in 1894.
The proposed statue to this famous
American scientist will represent
Prof. Henry as young man engaged
in the demonstration of his expert
ments. and it is intended that the fig
ure shall surmount a PEDESTAL bear
Ius ucplClIHS eplSOQeS OF his
career in Albany, the place OF his
birth.
The execution of the work has been
entrusted to John Flanagan New
York sculptor, and the responsible
civic body supporting the undertak-
ing Is the Albany Institute.
1t is understood that the money for
this monument has been raised by
the activity of DR.. John NJ. Clark and
ex-Gov. Martin Fl. Glynn.
The bronze statue of Joseph Henri,
erected on the Smithsonian grounds
by authority of an act of Congress
approved June 1, 1880, and unveiled
April 19, 1883, was the first memorial
to this Scientist, who was elected the
first secretary and director of the
Smithsonian Institution in 1s46. and
continued in this position until the
day of his death, May 10, 1873.
