BLANKS READY
Blanks Mailed to $4,000 on
List of Federal Income
Taxpayers in State.

The mailing of approximately l25,OoO
income tax blanks to the various Fed
eral income taxpayers of the State of
Minnesota has just been completed"
states Mr.. j. R. Landy, collector OF IN
ternal Revenue for the district Of Min
neSota.
The Collector expressed the hope that
taxpayers, in filing their returns, would
give careful attention to the instructions
printed on all blanks and, particularly,
to the requirement of the duplicate copy
of return on the green form, which must
be filed in addition to the original re-
turn. This copy must be a complete
duplicate of the return, except that the
affidavitS on the green form need not
be filled in. The green form must be
completed as to any schedules and
statements attached to the original re-
turn, except. Schedule G Cd (Ap-
plicabIe to corporations; 2. AS to copies
of will or trust instrument in the case
of fiduciary returns; 3. AS to powers
of attorney on forms 935 or 936, where
returns are made by an agent; and 4.
The copy of annual statement made to
the State Insurance Department in the
case Of insurance companies.
The Collector calls attention to the
fact that the returns may be filed
promptly upon receipt of the forms, and
if penalties are to be avoided, such
filing must be effected by March Is
1886, at the latest.
Just as in prior years, the Internal
Revenue offices in st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth, will be better able to render
the required aid to taxpayers if they
will attend to this matter during the
months of January and February rather
than waiting until the final date fol

"a senior examiners disclosed total OF
848 questions, no one question being
asked by all, and 566 questions, or 67%o
of the total, being asked by only one
examiner out of the 81. Eighty per
cent of the questions were purely factual
while only 2OGo required reasoning.
Among questions heretofore put to
applicants under the provision Of law
requiring a showing Of attachment to
the principles of the Constitution have
been such irrevelant or tricky queries
as the following while only 2GGo re-

Among questions heretofore put to
applicants under the provision OF law
requiring a showing of attachment to
the principles of the Constitution have
been such irrevelant or tricky queries
as the following:
How high is the Bunker Hill monu-
ment?
How many stars are there on a

How many legs has the Constitution?
What has Ireland been fighting for?
How long does a Representative sit?
Can Congress make law to put me

If a pearson has seven children, would
he have to pay for public schools?
If the law isn't signed. may 1t be a

1t is directed that questions put to

clear and expressed in simple language,
involving no catch" or "trick" and
designated to elicit the petitioners IN

To illustrate the instructions now
issued and as guide to examiners, four
pages are devoted to summary Of the
basic principles of the Constitution and

Government stated in simple language
and shorn of all technicalitieS.
The Commissioner hopes that this
statement of principles which is so pre-
sented as to convey more than dry
instruction will be made the basis of
courses of study IN naturalization
classes in the public schools. Colonel
Mac Cormack believes that the Ideals of
liberty and democracy embodied in the
Constitution have not lost their appeal
to the mind and heart and when ex-
planned in understandable terms will
command not only acceptance but in
spire that attachment to Our funda-
mental law which the statute requires
as condition of naturalization.
Examiners are required to put candi-
dates in touch with the proper officials
in the public school systems. 1t is also
to be made clear to the applicant that
the statutory educational requirements
are not sufficient to enable him to de-
rive the full benefit of American citi-
zenship and that it is to his advantage
to avail himself of the opportunities
! offered by the public schools in order
! that he may intelligenJly exercise the
right of franchise and improve his
social and economic position in the
community
AS further encoura cement to the
applicant to take advantage of the
public school courses, provision is made
for the acceptance of certificates from
the public schools as indicating COM
pletion of a satisfactory course of
training.
Close cooperation is urged with the
courts and with state, municipal and
other local agencies interested in the
educational preparation of the alien

Highway Safety Expert

THE average motorist, when re-
i minded of the dangers OF car
bon monoxide, SCOTS and remarks
that he never starts his automo-
bile with his garage doors closed.
He does not realize that despite
good brakes, good tires, good mo-
tor, good driving, his life may be
in constant danger on the road be-
cause of carbon monoxide.
One in every ten accidents last
year occurred when cars drove of
the roadway, killing more than &c.
900 and injuring more than a mil
lion persons. Without doubt many
of these cars left the road because
the driver was stupefied by carbon
monoxide gas.
Odorless, colorless, deadly in in.
credibly small quantities, this gas
seeps from poorly adjusted engines
and causes headaches, car sickness,
dangerous drowsiness. Fortunate,

ly science has developed a Power

how much wasted fuel is pouring
from your exhaust pipe and wheth-
er your car Is in the danger zone
of excessive carbon monoxide. A
tuning routine by specially devel-
oped equipment will eliminate this
danger.
Motorists are urged to have plen-
ty of fresh air in their cars at all
times. Ventilate enclosed cars from
the front, so there will be flow

driver develops drowsiness or sud-
den headache, he should stop his
car for five minutes and fill his
lungs with fresh air. Do not hest
tate to do this, for carbon monox-
ide gives little warning, but strikes
as suddenly as a knockout blow
to the jaw.
Take proper precautions; check
your car at frequent Intervals; tell
your friends of their worst driving
enemy-carbon monoxide!

Dear Mr.. Bourgin: I want to urge
upon you very strenously the forum
which you had last year I think it is

The present outlook for adult education
in this state looks very discouraging.
Let me repeat that I urge you BY
all means to continue the forum, if you
can.
