Federal Income Tax
Paying Taxes.

Taxes due on a return filed for the
calendar year 1912 may be paid in
full at the time for the filing of the
return on or before March Is, l943
The tax may, at the option of the
taxpayer, be paid in four equal in
stallments instead of in single pay
ment, in which case the first INSTALL
ment is to be paid on or before
March Is, the second on or before
June IS, the third on or before Sep
TENDER Is, and the fourth on or be-
fore December Is, 1943. If the tax
payer elects to pay his tax in four
installments, each of the four in
stallments must be equal in amount,
but any installment may be paid,
at the election of the taxpayer, prior
to the time prescribed for its pay
ment. If an installment is not paid
in full on or before the date fixed
for its payment, the whole amount
of the tax remaining unpaid is re-
quired to be paid upon notice and
demand from the collector.
The tax must be paid to the COL
lector of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayers re-
turn is required to be filed-that is,
to the collector for the district in
which is located the taxpayers legal
residence or principal place of bust
ness, or if he has no legal resi-
dence or principal place of bust
ness in the United States, then to the
collector of internal revenue at Balti-
more, Maryland.
In the payment of taxes fractional
part of a cent is to be disregarded
unless it amounts to one-half cent
or more, in which case it shall be
increased to one cent.
The tax due, if any, should be paid
in cash at the collectors office, or by
check or money order payable to
Collector of Internal Revenue" In
the case of payment in cash, the
taxpayer should in every instance
require and the collector should fur
nish receipt. In the case of pay
ments made by check or money order,
however, the cancelled check or the
money order receipt is usually suf-
ficient receipt.

RACING PLANT
GIVES $4,000
WITHIN A WEEK
Two Donations of $4,000
and $1,000; With Total
Close to $25O,OOO

Pawtucket, r. !. May ll-With a
deep sense OF satisfaction at a Job
thoroughly well done, Judge James
f. Dooley, executive head OF Maria
gansett Park, signed his name this
morning to a check for the Amer
lean Red Cross. Providence Chapter
for the amount OF 8270.53.
This splendid contribution was
made possible by the dedication OF
last Saturdays racing at Narragan-
sett to the magnificent organization
nov playing Its usual great part In
war time, the American Red Cross
In donating the beGA day OF Its
meeting for this purpose, the track
management had ARRANGED that Its
share OF the pari-mutuels wagering,
the gate admissions, program sales
and fees from conceSsionaires,
should be turned over to the Red
Cross.
From this gross amount was de-
Quoted only the actual operating
expenses for the afternoon. No gen.
cral maintenance costs, which run
into high figures, were charged, and
while all employees OF the track were
paid as usual from the days re-
ceipts salaries OF the corporation
officers and executive heads were
met by the Association.
The net result was the check for
$58, 27053, which will be handed TO
Red Cross officials tomorrow.
Big Increase
It was originally suggested that
Narragansett contribute only the
$4,000 that the Providence Chapter
fell short IN Its quota during the
recent drive for funds, but once
again Narragansett and Judge Doc
ley have demonstrated they do not
favor halfway measures. In cX-
pressing his thanks TO the racing
public which made Saturdays mag
nificent success possible Judge Doc
ley said;
Through the public's generous
support and through the willingness
OF Racing Associations 10 donate
their plants and the services Of their
trained stats, racing has fully JUS
Titled Its continuance during war
time. We arc proud we have been
able 10 do our part and we hope TO
be able to do still more. Plans for
our Autumn meeting are now being
made and We are confident that
when the combled effort OF racing
In 1913 Is totalled, something really
worth while will have been accom-
plished."
