Stote Income Tex
Collections Gain

The state board of equalization
has announced that returns on the
state income tax law by last week
were about 10 per cent more than
returns for the same period last
year. The state already had collect
ed $23,930 more than for the same
period in 1899. Total collections
last year were $454,000.
Members of the board said the
plan of having employees of the in
come tax division travel around the
state helping people make out their
tax returns was mainly responsible
for the increase in both the amount
collected and the number of re-
turns filed. The travelling employees
will make another circuit of the
state before the April Is deadline
for filing returns, the board said.

I'M AIRY had a little lamb" is the
Az first line of children's dit
ty. 1t is also the first line that
ever came out of a photograph
loudspeaker.
One summer morning in 1877,
Thomas Edison was playing with
queer little gadget he had con-
structed in his laboratory. 1t was
cylinder wound with tin foil and
hitched to little horn with a men,
brane and needle on the end.
Edison's co-workers must have
thought he was little crazy when
they saw him put his mouth up to
the horn and shout at the top OF
his lungs Mary had little lamb"
But Edison calmly put his ma
chine in reverse, and out of the
horn, as though it were faint
echo, came back the words MARY
had little lamb" That moment
GUS morning the first monograph,
an invention which simply as
founded the world, had been in
vented.
When first exhibited in pfblic,
most people believed twas Some
sort Of magician's trick, and that
there was a ventriloquisi lurking be-
hind the scenes.
Edison himself did not realize the
Importance OF his invention at first.
When asked what it could be used
for, he mentioned such things as
photographic books for the blind
and recording the last words OF
dying persons, and only included
the reproduction of music as an
afterthought.
