Smoke from household stoves and
furnaces can be reduced so to 70
per cent by proper firing. In start
ing the fire, kindling should be laid
on top of the coal.
The draft should be left on until
the coal is properly ignited. When
coal is added, the burning embers
should be moved over SO that the
new coal lights from the top.
"In this way the volatile matter,
which causes smoke, is distilled of
and burned as 1t filters through the

Dogs are something moro than

foibles- Consequently probably no
other tax levied causes so much dis
pute and dissatisfaction as the dog

Perhaps it serves a useful pur-
pose-but in a very bunghng man

be difficult-for the levy may be

all persons in whatever capacity
acting" are required to report to the
commissioner OF internal revenue
payment to others during the taxable
year of $1,000 or more. Information
returns are carefully checked with
the individual return Of the taxpayer
to whom such payments are made.
Thousands of delinquents, and addi-
tional taxes aggregating hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been dis
covered as the result of this audit
The act requires report of pay
ments OF interest, rent, salaries,
wages. premiums, annuities, compen-
or other fixed or determinable gains.
profits and income"
A separate return of information
for each employee whose salary 81
wage for 1924 was $1,000 or more is
required of employers. Payments for
overtime, fees, commissions. bonuses
and the fair value Of food and lodg-
ing furnished as part payment for
services should be included. Heads of
branch offices and subcontractors
employing labor, who have the only
complete records OF payments there
for, should file the returns directly
with the commissioner. When both
main and branch offices have ade-
quate records, the returns should be
filed by the main office.
The requirement is not limited to
periodical payments. but a single
payment Of $1,000 or more and must
be reported. Real estate agents are
required to report payments to land
lords. Fraternal organizations and
associations are required to report
payments to officers. Banks are re-
quired to report interest paid or
credited to a depositor, IL the total
during the year equalled or exceeded
1000.
Forms for filing information re-
turns may be obtained at offices of

Annexation

RI REPRESENTATIVE DUNCAN
Tx of Marion County has pre-
IL pared a bill permitting cities.
by valid contracts, TO guarantee in
dustrial plants located outside the
city limits against annexation.
II is believed this will enable cities
to attract industries to their out
skirts. The measure should please
ardent town boomers. 1t is worthy
OF Rabbit in his best vein.
No community Is so sunk In civic
lethargy that it doesn't thrill at the
prospect OF securing new manu-
featuring enterprise. A concern
seeking location finds competition
for its favor keen and bidding spir-
tied among eligible municipalities.
Bonuses, tax exemption. and spe-
cial privileges are the customary
bats. Perhaps they are justified and
ultimately benefit cities more than
they cost.
However. frequently a community
offering special privileges TO acquire
new plants sells it's birthright for a
mess OF pottage.
Indianapolis offers an example. In
1873. as an inducement to railroad,
the city agreed, II track elevation
of the line ever became necessary.

provement. That time is here. And
now the old contract discomfits city
officials.
Exemption from annexation-guar-
anteed by a city in tho flush OF en-
thusiasm-might at some future time
prove equally embarrassing. AS a
lure to a coy industry a city might
better pay a cash bonus now than
mortgage the future.
