YOUR INCOME TAX

Following is the second In Q series of articles based on the revenue act of 1884, and presented daily In The Democrat:
 FORMS FOR MAKING RETURNS
 Forms for filing returns Of income for 1885 have been sent to persons sWho filed returns last year. Failure to receive Q form, however, does not relieve a taxpayer of hls obligation to Ale his return an6 pay tho tax on time, on or before March 10 If the return is made on the calendar year basiS, Hs is the easC with most in- dividunls.
 Forms may be obtained upon re. quest, written or personal. from the offices of collectors of internal rev- enue and deputy collectors. Persons whose net income for 1885 was dee rived chiefly from salary or wages and was not in excess of $b,OO0 should make their returns on form 1040A. Persons whose net income was in excess of Sb,000, or, regardless of amount. was derived from q busi- ness, profession, rents or sale of property, are required to use c larger form, i040. Failure to use the prop CT form presents difficulties to both the taxpayer and the Bureau of in- ternal Revenue. Therefore, it is efn- phasized that q taxpayer engaged iil a business or profesis0n from which he derived c net income of less thai $6,000 Is required to us0 the larger form.
 The return must Do filed with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer has his legal residence or principal place of business on or before midnight ot March 10. i036. The tax may Do paid in full ct the time of filing the return or in four equal installmoiitg duo on or before March 10, June ID, September iS, and December 10.

 New York, Jan. 2s-(UP)-Rail- road and utility shares lde another rise in the stock market today.
 Atchison led carriers with Q gain of more than 2 points. The Dow Jones rail average hit Q new top since 1884. A late spurt in the Utilities carried the Utility average to it's best level since 1883. Indus trials failed to follow as profit-tak- ing came into recent leaders.
 Steel shares hovered around the previous close. Motors rose for Q time on the influence of the Gen. eral Motors Corporation 1885 report showing net income equal to $3.6o share, against $l.99 in 1884, but they slipped back. Farm shares made spectacular gains. Case hit iiO up 3 3-4; Deere & Co. 67 1-2 up 3 3-4: International Harvester @ l-2 up 3 5-8; Oliver farm equipment 3l 3-8 up 3 3-8, and Caterpillar Ttractor 62 l-8 up 2 l-8 Part of these gains were erased by late selling.

 SEEKS NOMINATION
Machine Gun" Parker Is Eager to Enter Con-
 gressiOnaI Halls

Colonel John H. Machine Gun" Parker, commander or the 102d in- fnntry in the World war and now a resident of West Haven, is candi- date for the republican nomination for congressman-at-large. and a vigorous campaign has already been begun on behalf of his candidacy. Colonel Parker Is well known to Waterburialis, especially those in veterans circles.
 Though he has not publicly ar1- nounced his candidacy for the nonn- nation, Colonel Parker has written to friends that he would like to go to congress. Supporters are already seeking the aid of veterans for his candidacy.
 Born in Missouri, Col. Parker earned the name Machine Gun through his handling of Gatling guns during the Spanish war in Cuba. Tn 1922 he sought the repub- Iican nomination for senator from Missouri. He later lived in Cali fornia before settling in this state.
 Thus far there are no known can- didates in the field for the republi- cen nomination for congressman-at- large. Mention has been made. however, of State Senator John M. Lynch of West Haven, president pro tenn of the state senate in 1885. Also mentioned has been Charles M. Bakewell, who won the nomina- ton two years ago but lost the elec- ton to William .Citron, democrat.

CURLEY REQUESTS
 REPLY TO SMITH

Boston, Jan. 28--(U.P)-dovernor Curley has called upon President Roosevelt to answer Alfred F. Smiti, and has sharply criticized the brain trust as so-called super r-intellectu- . ais who place reform before recov- cry.
 At a meeting of civic and indus- trial leaders yesterday to discuss unemployment, the governor "orig- inal Roosevelt man in MaSsachu- setts," openly criticized the admin- istration.
 We should walt until the pres- ident makes Q definite statement to clear the atmosphere and relieve the uncertainty" Curley said. "He has got to make a definite state- ment. He is being forced to make a statement because of the criticism which Is being leveled at him by the republican party and It's aids and assistants.
 Nothing could be 50 heartening to the people of the United States and more conducive to taking of persons from the welfare rolls to pay-rolls than the knowledge that we are sufficiently along the road of progress to permit abandonment of some portions of the recovery program
