Debate on Measure Scheduled for january 6

WASHINGTON, DC. Support
eFs of federal anti-lynching legisla-
tion modified their forces today for
final drive for passage Of the
Gavagan- Wagner Van Nuys bill
which comes to the floor Of the
Senate January 8.
While Washington observers are
practically unanimous in agreeing
that the bill will be passed il it can
be got to a vote, they are also pre-
dieting that there will be d stubborn
resistance and that the supports of
the measure cannot relax for one
instant until the vote is taken.
More than 70 senators at one
time or another have either pledged
IN writing to vote for the bill on i'm
dicated unmistakahly in polls and
other ways that they were in favor
OF it. However. there is always a
possibility that southern senators will
filibuster against the bill and it is
known that many attempts will be
made to amend it so as to take the
teeth out of 1t.
Senator william e. Borah Of
Idaho already has introduced an
amendment to strike out section five
of the bill, which il the heart Of the
measure, providing for d penalty
against counties where lynchings
occur. IL Is expected that q stiff
fight will be made to have this
amendment adopted and every pos

senators BY the voters back home to
keep them firmly in line against any
amendment, and especially against
this amendment.

HOW TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS
The period for the filing of income
tax returns covering the calendar year
1887 began January l and ends at
midnight of March Is. 1888 To file
early is Of mutual benefit to the Gov
eminent and the taxpayer. Within
this period are filed annually millions
Of individual income tax returns, q
large proportion of which report in
come subject to the tax. The latter
contain considerable PERCENTAGE of
errors, which II uncorrected by the
audit would result to the disadvantage
OF the taxpayer. Many are errors of
computation easily discovered on the
face Of the return, which usually Is
accompanied by q payment Of more
than the amount Of tax due. In other
returns 1t is readily discernible that
the taxpayer has failed to take ad-
vantage of the personal exemption,
credit allowed for dependents, or de-
ductions from gross income to which
he is entitled.
To avoid these and other errors, the
Bureau of Internal Revenue urges
careful reading Of the instructions ac-
companying the forms for filing the
returns. Additional information, II
needed, may be obtained at the office
Of collector Of internal revenue, dep
uty collector or an internal revenue
agent in charge. Taxpayers who apply
to revenue officers for assistance in
preparing returns should bring with
them copy Of their prior year return
Also, as further aid In the prepara-
ton Of a correct income tax return for
the year 1887, the bureau has prepared
a series Of short newspaper articles
Of which this Is the first, advising the
salaried man, wage Garner, professional
and business man-in fact, every clas.
