national flags which had been in use
for considerable period of time, but
through changes in government these
flags have all since been changed in
one way or another. The Present Brit

SENATOR ]. HAMILTON LEWIS:
Mr.. Hearst pointed out many
errors which must be avoided
by the Democracy If it hopes

candidates, 1 feel that be-

arise that will bring forth
either from Congress, in the

whose names have not yet

will be very influential in aid

pleads for the return to the

EARLY PAYMENT
OF INCOME TAX
URGED BY WEIGH
By Blosser

Galen H. Welch, collector of in
ternal revenue today issues warning
that only two weeks remain within
which to file income tax returns
for 1881 without penalty for delin-
quency. The last day for filing is
March Is, 1882. The collectors Of
flee, 939 South Broadway, Los An
geles, and all branch offices will be
open until midnight on March Is.
Collector WEIGH points out that
taxpayers can receive more atten-
ton ana help from his deputies
by coming in at once. In the last
minute rush it is impossible TO give
much time to any one taxpayer.
The rates of tax are the same as
last year Every single person hav-
ing a net income of $500 or more
must file a return; every married
person having a net income Of
$500 or more must fie a return;
Every person, married or single hav-
ing a gross income of $4,000 or more
must file a return regardless of the
amount of net income. Every cor
poration must file n return regard
less of income or loss, as must also
every partnership.
At least one-fourth of any tax
due must be paid when the return
is filed.
Collector WEIGH states that the
number of income tax returns re-
ceived to this date indicates that
Southern California was the white
Spot" in 1881. He urges every per-
son, firm and corporation liable to
a return of income tax TO file tho
same at once to avoid the penalties
imposed by law for delinquency.
