the President OF his success in forming a

One of these changes may be in the
portfolio of Finance, SINCE the accept

Cartel Is dead
The demise of the famous Left Cartel,
which appears this time really to be dead
will, it is considered, greatly facilitate
M. Brands task. THIS unnatural coaii-
tion of Socialists aud Radicals. formed
purely for the purposes OF the elections
last ear, has since dominated French
politics. 1t was killed by the Socialists,
who oVer-reached themselves in the de-
mands made upon M. HerrlOt when he
was e~ndeavorirg to form new Ministry
and forced the Radicals who were most
attached to the idea of a Cartel to the
belief that it was no longer possible to
work with the Socialists,

BIENNIAL BUDGET
STRIKES SNAC in
STATE ASSEMBLY

SACRAMENTO, Mar. 10-Gover-
nor Richardson g biennial budget,
which sailed serenely through the
assembly last week today struck Il
snag in the senate finance commit
tee, resulting in its being put over
for another week for final consid-
Grafton.
The unexpected opposition to the
budget bill arose when Senator Will
r. Sharkey of Martinez demanded
5hat the bill be amended TO include
the revenues and expenditures Of
the highway commission.
Sharkey pointed out that al
though some s26,000,000 was spent
by the commission during Is months
ending June, 1924, only 100000 is
listed in the present budget bill. He
insisted that the highway commits
sion was spending millions of dol
lars each year with practically no
control being exercised over it.
Senator j. NJ. Inman Of Sacra-
mento supported Sharkey in his
contentious and II. R. Braden, mem
ber of the state board of control,
admitted the board had no control
over the expenditures Of the high
way department. He favored inclu-
sion Of the highway budget in the

his son. +. w. Toney, who had been
reported lost ON the Sonora des-
. ert in Mexico. The younger Toncy
returned Saturday night, Just as
4 searching party was setting out
to look for him, and told thrilling
story of adventure.
He left his home in Yuma nearly
a month ago, with eight days pro-
visions, to investigate several soda
deposits in which he is interested.
Following his investigations,
Toney started back for home his
trip having taken him several hun
dred miles into the Sonora desert.
He had only gone short distance
when his car broke down, and as
there is no such thing as Il garage
in that part of the world, it was
impossible to make repairs
Putting his scanty supply of pro-
visions into pack, Toney started
the long trip back to Yuma ON foot.
Fortunately il was early in the
year, before the torrid heat pre-
walls on the desert but this advant-
age was offset by the terrible de-
sert cold at night. '
When many days had passed and
Toney had not returned to Yuma,
his folks became alarmed and mott
fled his father in this city. The
elder Toney, accompanied by Dep
uty Sheriff Oswalt, went to Yuma
Saturday to head Il searching party.
They We're preparing to leave
Yuma early yesterday morning and
Were surprised Saturday night by
the younger Toney's appearance.
The young man was little the worse
for his experience and plans to re-
turn to the desert in short time
to retrieve the ear he was forced
to abandon.

Today Hermione reclines on

for Neptune to make delivery.
But he did it. Now nobody
wants her.

COODCELL GIVES
INFORMATION ON
TAX EXEMPTIONS

! Two hundred and ten thousand
i taxpayers who have delayed max
, ing out their income tax returns
must file during the seven days re
! naming of the filing period or be
come liable to the penalties proVid
| ed by the revenue act of 1924, Col
; lector of Internal Revenue Rex b
Goodcell announced yesterday.
This means that an average OF
| $4,000 returns must be filed daily uT
to midnight of March l6, when the
filing period ends.
Many mistakes arc being made by
taxpayers in the method they are
| employing in computing personal ex
emption where the status of the
taxpayer changed during the tax.
able year, Collector Goodcell said
Collector Goodeell, in response to
Ymany inquiries, outlined the follow
ing rules applicable in computing
personal exemption where husband
or wife died during the year, sepa-
rated. or were married and the sta
tus of the head of family.
In no case can husband and
wife who are living together on the
last day of the taxable year receive
greater joint personal exemption
than $2500.
An individual who dies during
the taxable year is entitled to a
personal exemption of $1,000 or
$2500 according to his or her status
at the time of death.
The surviving spouse in such case
is entitled to full credits according
to his or her status at the close of
the taxable year. In such ease,
means that if the deceased spouse
is a taxpayer (that is. an individual
in whose behalf return is requir-
ed to be fled the surviving spouse
is entitled to n personal exemption
according to his or her status at the
close of the taxable year. If, how
ever, the deceased spouse is not a
taxpayer, then the provisions of Sec
tion 216 are not applicable with re-
gard to the manner of determining
the amount of the personal exemp-
ton of the surviving spouse, and
the personal exemption of such sur
viving spouse must be prorated in
accordance with Section 216.
For example: A, the husband, and
B, the wife. were married on Janu-
airy and lived together until De-
cember /, the date of BIS death.
AS status was that of a single per-
son on December 81, the close of
the taxable year. B, the wife. had
no income and was not required to
file return. The personal exemp-
ton of 4 would be $2375, or HIP
of s25oO plus 1-l2 of $1,000. On the
other hand, if B, the wife, was a
taxpayer and in whose behalf re-
turn was required to be filed, her
personal exemption would be $25Q0,
and the personal exemption of \,
the husband, would be that of a
single person, or $1,000.
