There is a probability that a

turns may be filed, says Howard
Wilson, of the Internal Revenue
Department IN Key West.
Speaking from his office today
Mr.. Wilson said: s'Of course it Is
reasonable to suppose that most
people. whether visitors IN the
city, or those who live here. have
their income tax returns ready
for filing. but there are some who
have overlooked the fact.
"For the benefit of those who
have let this necessity slip from
memory, / will keep my offices
open until midnight, affording the
opportunity to all who so intend.
to file their returns before the
close of the day. and avoid the
payment of the five per cent adj

Apparently re-examining its
former opinions in what Attorney
General Cummings called "the
light of necessity for a chOerent
and rational administration of the
tax laws, the United States SUI
preme Court reversed two long
established principles of the tax
law in a five-to-two decision
which gave the Federal Govern
ment the right to tax income de-
rived from Oh and gas lands Ieas-
ed from a state. Some years ago
the Court denied Oklahoma the
right to tax net income derived
by a lessee from oil and gas I'm
der leases of restricted Indian
lands and. subsequently,. applied
the same principle to void a Fed
eral tax upon the income derived
by a lessee from state lands.
