Jonuory IS Is "
important Dote On
Income Reports
=

January Is is the last day for
filing original amended
Declarations of Estimated Tax and
for paying installments of estimated
tax for the calendar year 1914, Lew
IS Penwell, Collector of Internal
Revenue, said today. The date was
originally scheduled for December
Is, 1914. but was changed by the
Individual Income Tax Act of 1914.
Since farmers were permitted by
law to postpone filing their 1914
declarations until the end of the
year, nearly. all farmers are affect
ed by the January Is date. Other
taxpayers required to file 1914
declarations generally filed them
last April, but those who underes-
timated their tax by more than 20
per cent should file amended declar-
atoms to avoid the penalty for sub
stantial underestimate. All install
nlents on 1914 declarations, Wheth-
er original or amended, should be
paid up in full by January 15
The new act also made it posi-
BILE for taxpayers to combine these
duties with the filing and payment
upon their annual income tax re-
turns. Ii an individual files his an
nual return and pays the tax due
upon it by January Is, he need not
file declaration or amended de-
claration or make a payment of
estimated tax for 1914 at that time.
Otherwise, March Is is the usual
deadline for filing annual returns
for 1914 and Declarations of Estl-
mated Tax for 1915.
Mr.. Penwell suggested that tag
payers who may be in doubt as TO
whether they must make filing
Or payment by January Is should
consult his office or the branch of
flee in their locality.

was in effect between 1918 and
1922.
The Tariff Commission, in con-
sidering the possible effect of
additional reductions in import
duties. and assuming that the ma
tional income will be around
SI35, 900, 000, 900, concludes that a
fifty per cent cut will increase
our imports about 100000, 900.
This viii mean that imports will
amount TO less than $4,000, 000,-
600. as compared to domes-
tic production of around $51, 000,-
100000. AZ present, it is pointed,
out, imports on items affected by
the tariff amount to $4,000, 600
900 and our production of the
same items is around So, 1000, 000,-
900.
These figures should prove USE
full to American citizens who,
before making contribution to
world prosperity, are anxious
that the property of the United
States be maintained. They
should also give us some idea of
the possible contribution to be
made by this country in the pro-
cess of facilitating international
trade in the interest of peace.

I'm AND AROUND TOWN
BY PEDRO AGUILAR

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Lastres, ST.,
land their family were out to the
Amateur night at Bayview Park.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Cruz, Sr.,
were also out there and they go
out almost every night.
Chief Odom, USN, is out al
most every day at the Park and
he sure likes his softball games.
He is rabid fan and coach.
Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin Tynes and
son were out to the Park to see
Chester pitch and Melvin who
was a pitcher for the Busy Bee,
Adams. and other soft ball tens,
said he enjoyed the game after
an absence of months out of the
city playing aonther game for
Uncle Sam.
Just received word from
Armando Acevedo, who is in
OkinaWa, who said he met Joe
Allen over there. They sure had a
long talk about the Island City
and he also says, he enjoys read
ing The Citizen about local news
and he does not want to miss an
issue of our paper.
Charlie Gibson and Chief Far
bough, the popular umpires at
the Pack are getting more so
every day. Now even the girls
try to razz them, but it is useless,
for they are razz proof and can
take it as well as dish it out.
Johnnie and Leno at the Park
are fixtures there that are hard
to replace and they have the
help of Clara and Ondina.a
Cleo Rosan has to rest for a
couple of months according to
the Doctor who ordered her to
rest and do not exert herself for
a while. She insists that she is
OK and ready to pitch for Key
West against Miami if the game
is scheduled.
Mr. and Mrs. Neil Saunders,
the popular announcers at the
park are getting along nicely
with their girls soft ball club,
sponsored by the Coca Cola Co.
They will have a club good
enough to play any girls club in
South Florida.
There are lots of people who
get kick out of the father and
son act between Tata Valdez, the
third sacker of the Machinists,
and his son Clude Valdez of the
Legion. When Claude pitches the
fans would like to see him fan
his old man out. He will some
day. =.
