LEGION OF THE LAWLESS"
is FEATURED AT ROYAL

What happens when a group OF
honest citizens organize a vigilante
committee only to have it get out
of control and leave a bloody, sin
lister trail in it's wake, provides high
speed action in Legion OF the
Lawless," George O'Brien's latest
vehicle, which opens at the Royal
today.
Formed by resolute citizens of a
western town to keep law-breakers
from preying on them, the Vigl'
lantes, under the leadership of the
village banker, fulfill their avowed
purpose for a time. But the bank
er's brother-in-law takes advantage
of the esteem in which the crusad-
ing Vigilantes are held and, under
the protection of masks, SEXES the
opportunity to plumber and slay as
he sees fit.
In the midst of this rapidly grow
ing reign of terror, O'Brien, in the
role of a two-fisted lawyer with
early training as a cowboy, arrives
in town to start practice, and i'm
mediately incurs the enmity Of the
sinister Vigilantes. The bitter con.
flict between the two, O'Brien's
turbulent with the bank
er,s daughter, and his successful
efforts in smashing the unlawful
element in the secret organization,
bring the story to a powerful, ac'
climax.
A Disney cartoon, the current
chapter of Dick Tracy's G-Men and

Income Tax
How To Avoid Common Errors

How To Avoid Common Errors
The period for the filing of in.
come-tax returns covering the ca
lendar year 1899 began January l
and ends at midnight of March Is,
1910. To file early is of mutual
benefit to the govern nent and the
taxpayer. Within this period are fill
ed annually millions of individual
income-tax returns, a large proper.
ton Of which report income sub
ject to the tax. The latter contain
a considerable percentage Of errors,
which if uncorrected by the audit
would result to the disadvantage of
the Taxpayer. Many r errors of
computation easily discovered on
the face of the return, which U.S.
ually is accompanied by a payment
due. In other returns it is readily
of more than the amount of tax
discernible that the taxpayer has
failed to take advantage of the per-
sonal exemption, credi- allowed for
dependents, or deductions from
gross income to which he is en-
titled.
To avoid these and other errors,
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
urges careful reading of the in
structions accompanying the forms
for filing the returns. Additional in
formation, if needed, may be OBJ
tanned at the office of a collector of
internal revenue, deputy collector,
or an internal revenue agent in
charge. A taxpayer who applies to
a revenue officer for assistance in
preparing his return should take
with him a copy of his prior year
return. Also, as a further aid in the
preparation of q correct income-taX
return for the year 1889, the Bureau
has prepared a series of short news
paper articles, of which this is the
first, advising the salaried man,
wage Garner, professional and bust
ness man-in fact. every class of
individual taxpayer-of the require.
ments and privileges under the in
come-tax law as interpreted under
the latest regulations, rulings, and
decisions.
