Firearms viii
Be Confiscdted

a threat to confiscate any fire
arms found in the possession OF
boys under 16 years of age, in the
city limits was made today by
Chief Oswalt, following the wan
ton Staying of pet dog belonging
to DR.. N. E. Dupont Sunday night
by a local youngster.
The boy, returning from a hunt
ing trip with some companions, en-
countered the dog near the Dupont
home and killed it with a shot
from his gun. He was unable to
give any valid excuse for his act,
asserting that he did not know why
he did it.
DR.. Dupont declined to prosecute
the boy and. after consultation
with the chief of police, it was
decided to turn the youth over to
the custody of his father, who as
sured the chief that proper discip-
linary measures would be taken.
THE police will confiscate any
firearms found in the possession
Of juveniles within the city limits, "
the chief said. IF the parents
think this action is high-handed
they can come to the police station
and talk it over with meI Boys OF
immature years have no business
with firearms and it is fortunate
that a dog was the victim in the
Dupont case instead of a child.
We have had too many cases
throughout the valley Of careless
ness with firearms and parents ap-
pear TO be extremely negligent with
their children in this respect. II
they will not exercise the proper
supervision over their children the
police will have TO step in"

COMMENT ON

Diana Fishwick, one of England.
foremost women golfers, here t
play golf and to root for Sir Nal.
colmn Campbell to make a new
auto record, agreed to answer q
number of questions for us on the
subject of golf, with which she is
undoubtedly more familiar than
auto racing.
Our first question dealt with
what American woman golfer she
considered the most accomplished
"That," she replied. ''is almost
unanswerable. For any one of the
first five o. six American golfers
are fully capable of winning any
match on q day they happen to
be right. But day in and day out
I'd say Virginia Van VIE is your
best player. Over in England we
consider her your finest stylist, and
she's fighter, too. But Virginia
is hardly any better than Miss
Hicks, Miss Orcutt or Mrs. Glenna
Collett Ware. And Mrs. Hill and
Mrs. Cheney are all but unbeat-
able on days that find their shots
dropping"
Did Miss Fishwick think it was
a jinx of some sort that prevented
an American woman from winning
the coveted British open champion
ship?
Certainly not. It's purely and
simply the change in climatic con-
ditions and the difference in AM
erican and English courses. Your
golfers can't become accustomed to
our weather and links in a month
or SO. any more than we can adapt
ourselves to your playing conditions
with few rounds of practice. Take
my own case for example. In Eng
land one of the most useful shots
I have is nicely placed pitch-and-
run. I use it all the time. But
ever here the stroke is practically
useless. for the grass on your cours-
es seems to grab the ball the min
ute it alights. This condition cost
me several strokes every round
Men Not So Good
We asked Miss Fishwick why it
was that while English women golf
ers always managed to hold their
own with the Americans. the men
pro and amateur, didn't fare Sc
well.
Because they don't play enough
Over here your professionals move
from tournament to tournament
learning as they 60 But in Eng
land the professionals, who, by the
way don't rate nearly so well as
professionals over here, spend most
of their own time at their club
teaching and teaching. And for
the amateurs-well, most of them
are dentists who spend the week
pulling teeth or clerks of some
sort who get in a game only on
week-ends."
Miss Fishwick, who won the
English open in 1880 at the tender
age of 10, is improving all the
time, according to her mother.
YES" her mother said, Diana

Information On
Your Income Tax

Husband and wife living together
may each make separate return
of the income of each, or their in
come may be included in single
Joint return. If joint return Is
filed, such return is treated as a
return of a taxable unit, and the
income disclosed is subject to both
the normal tax and the surtax.
Where separate returns are filed
by husband and wife, the eXemp-
tion of $500 may be taken by
either spouse or divided between
them, the husband, for example,
claiming $4,000 and the wife $500.
However, where the taxable in
come of one spouse is $4,000 or
more in excess of the personal ex-
emption, it is to the advantage of
the couple if such spouse claims
the total personal exemption, the
reason being the difference in the
normal tax rates, which are per
cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exemptions, credits,
etc., and 8 per cent on the bal
auce. The case of a husband whose
net income was $4,000 and a wife
whose net income was $2,500 is an
example, the husband claiming
the total personal exemption.

LEGISLATIVE
HIGH SPOTS

All the bills are now in the legis-
lative hopper and ready for final
disposal. The time has passed when
bills can be transmitted from one
house to another. Iteanhet be defiH-
itely determined what will become
law but it is certain that many things
proposed will not, as they have failed
to weather the legislative storm in one
house or the other. It is clear now
that not a great deal of constructive
nature in the way of major bills will
BECOME. law with the exception of
some of the proposed new revenue
measures.
For years there has been a tacit
understanding that the gasoline re-
fund or drawback law" would not
be tempered with despite the fact
that various measures relating to it
have been introduced from session to
session. However, a few days ago
House Bill No. 176 passed the House
and this measure would substitute an
exemption for the refund. Many good
attorneys have always questioned the
legality of the refund law and it is
not improbable that if the exemption
plan gets final approval, that it may
be taken into the courts to determine
whether it is constitutional or not.
In case this is done, it is to be hoped
that the refund measure will not be in
any way included in the action.
The bill to reduce agricultural lands
from 30 to 20 per cent basis for
taxation purposes was defeated in the
Senate after about five hours debate.
A. similar measure passed the Sem
ate two years ago. Observers express

the measure really talked it to death.
While under normal conditions such q
proposition might be desirable, many
telt that under existing conditions it
