YOUR INCOME TAX

Your income tax for 1924 is less
than was the tax for 1923. A rate re.
duction, however, is not the only bene.
fit afforded by the revenue act of 1924
Increase in the exemption for married
persons, 25 per cent reduction on
earned income" and other changes
in revenue legislation are of immedi-
ate interest to every taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924 was
$1,000 or more, or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more, and by every mar
ried couple whose aggregate net in
come was $2,500 or more, or whose
aggregate gross income was $4,000 or
more. Last year returns were re-
quired of married couples whose ag.
gregate net income was $4,000 or
more. Husband and wife, living to-
each in a single joint return, or each
may file separate return showing the
income of each. Net income is gross
income less certain specified reduc-
tions for business expenses, losses,
bad debts, contributions, etc.
The period for filing returns is from
January to March Is, 1925. The
return, accompanied by at least one
fourth of the amount of tax due, must
be filed with the collector of internal
revenue for the district in which the
taxpayer has his legal residence or
has his principal place of business.

SOME LOUD VOICES

A mighty shout, louder and more
powerful than the combined voices OF
all people in the world, has been
amplified by the Radio Microphone.
The power of the human voice, in
loud speech or song, has been esti-
mated at one-hundred-million of a
watt. A radio broadcasting station
using 500 watts will step up this
sound to the equivalent of a full
horsepower voice. That means the
tone has been amplified so billion
times into noise that is loud enough
to be heard half way to the planet
Mars.

SOURCES OF PLATINUM

Platinum ore and it's associated
metals. contrary to popular impress
sion, are widely distributed over the
earth, but thus far have been worked
in paying quantities in only a few
regions. More than ninety per cent
of the worlds supply has come from
the Ural Mountains, but conditions
in Russia in recent years have almost
closed this source. Next to Russia,
Colombia, in South America, which
also produces most of the world S
emeralds, is the biggest producer of
platinum Traces of the ore have
been found in California, Oregon,
Alaska, Canada and Mexico, and in
Brazil and other parts of South AM

BIG COLORADO POR-
CUP|NE CAVE FOUND

Colorado's newest underground cave
already known to contain 40 rooms,
will be explored further with view
to establishing it's availability as
national monument. Coloradoans
who have penetrated the subterran-
can passages declare the cavern will
rival the Cave of the Winds near Col
orado Springs, known to thousands
of tourists, when exploration work
has been completed.
The largest room in the cave is
100 feet long, 80 feet high and Is
feet wide, according to ]. NJ. Eu-
banks, homesteader who has done
most of the exploration work. The
smallest room is about six feet
square.
There still is much exploring to
be done. This includes a search for
the opening. believed to be some
where in the rugged, rolling hills of
Park county, probably covered with
timber and underbrush.
Mr.. Eubanks says the cave has
three levels. The rooms are filled
with stalactites and stalagmites,
many of weird shape. A serpent is
clearly defined in the figures. A
crown crest is shown, and an Indian
moccasin easily is discerned. On the
upper level two large rooms have
been named the Queens Chamber be-
cause of their great beauty. Temp
eratures within the cavern are about
the same winter and summer. The
main formation is limestone and mag
netic iron ore.
The cave is Is miles north of Salida
and Is miles southeast of Buena
Vista, near the Fremont county line.
The property derived it's name, Por-
cupine Cave, from the fact that por,
cupines live within it.

APPROPRIATION FOR
YUMA MESA PROJECT

o. S. Land Office, Phoenix. Ariz.
Telegram has been received from
United States Senator Ralph H. Cam
eron, addressed to John r, Towles,
Register of the United States Land
Office, Phoenix, Arizona, to the ef-
feet that the Senate has passed the
first deficiency appropriation bill for
this year in which Senator Cameron S
motion for S225,o0O appropriation for
the Yuma Mesa project was approved.
The telegram reads as follows:
Have just succeeded, in having
Senate pass my amendment author
izing the appropriation of 1925, 900
for the Yuma Mesa Project"
RALPH H. CAMERON
The appropriation, according to
the telegram, was passed by amend
ment to the deficiency appropriation
bill and probably means, Mr.. Towles
said, the early starting of work to
bring several hundred additional
acres of fine citrus land near Yuma
into cultivation.
Although Mr.. Towles was not offic-
tally advised of the exact content of
the appropriation measure which was
passed, it probably is similar to that
which was lost in the crush preced-
ing adjournment some months ago Of
the first session of the present Con
gress, he said.
That bill provided liberal repay
ment terms for the money advanced
by the government, which would be
expended largely for the building OF
distribution system for water.
The measure provided that the pur
chase price of land and water rights
to be benefited by the appropriation
should be paid to the government in
10 equal installments, the first due
on the date of purchase, and the
others due in annual installments,
bearing interest at six per cent an
nuaIly.
The bill creating the project. des-
ignated as the first mesa unit of the
Yuma Auxiliary Project, was ap-
proved in 1917. Provision was made
that the land was to be sold in
tracts of 5, 10 and 20 acres, with no
purchaser being allowed to acquire
more than 40 acres.
The land, Mr. Towles said, com
prises one Of the greatest citrus belts
in the United States, as it is practi-
cally frostless.
