Zi Queen Incubators and Brooders AT FACTORY PRICES Oregon Commission Co., Western Agents llth and Main Streets Oregon City, Oregon TAX TO BE CHARGED AGAINST INCOMES PORTLAND, Ore- Jan. 15. At least 4000 people In the iute of Oregon are going to pay an Income tax for the 10 months of 1913 that the law was In ef fect. That number of Income tax re turn blank! were aent to Milton A. Miller, collector of Internal revenue two months ago, and today almost all of these were gone. Anyone having an Income of more than $3000 had better fill out a sched ule of Income with the government as quickly as possible, for in six weeks from today the government will fine delinquents. The government ooes not go around hunting up those who are expected to pay the tax. It is con sidered" that everyone knows what his or her Income Is, and if it reacnes a sum that is taxable, the person in ques tion must send to the treasury depart ment at Washington or to the internal revenue collector of the district for one of the complicated blanks and fill It out These schedules must be returned by March 1. They are then forwarded to Washington, where the accountants figure Just what the tax will be. The tax becomes due July 1, and after that date the accounts will be In the hands of the Internal revenue collector. Internal tax for the year 1913, is paid only from March 1, 1313, and the exemption is less. In cases where one comes under the $3000 exemption the exemption for 1913 is $2500. In case of married persons the annual exemp tion is $4000 per year, but for 19M the exemption will be $3333.33. AH controversy as to whether tax on salaries and rents shall be paid at the source or by the receiver of the rent or salary was settled by an order received this morning at the local In ternal revenue office from Washing ton. This states that on sums of $3000 or over, paid as rent or salary to any one Individual by another since No vember 1, the deduction of 1 per cent or more, according to the size of the sum, shall be made by the payer. The payee Is not taxed for this. But on sums large enough to be taxed that were paid by one individual to another for either rent or salaries be tween March 1 and November i, me payee of such salary or rent shall b taxed the 1 per cent. In other words, on taxable sums in rent or salary paid Bince November 1, the taxes are withehld at the source by the payer himself. On taxable sums paid before November 1 and Bince March 1, the payee pays the tax. The department Is now appointing men all over the country who are to supervise the collection of the tax. In case of suspicion that some one is not making a correct statement of bis in come, the Inspectors will make a per sonal Investigation of the suspects assets.

IN FACE; FREED HARRY CLARK IS ACQUITTED AF TER HARD FIGHT IN CIR CUIT COURT CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS USED Pemoorata will be In control of the ..i i.. u,nta mil the aherenls to the old line Republican party will be out in Ihe rold ir the county conn no Iowa out to the letter the law In mak ing Us appointments of the Judges and clerks of the elections. The stilt law requires the several count v courts to give the party suc cessful at the last general elections the control of the nely chosen elec tion boards. As Ihe Democrats werv iv..n ihe makrlty at the last stale election and as the Progressive candi dates came In ahead of the straight Republican ticket, the membership on the hoards created by the court under this statute would leave the faithful out of the running altogether. Here, as In many other sections of the country, the faithful ran last In the race for state honors and the lemo cratlc forces were given, with the Progressive offshoots of the Republi can party, the lead In the court of the ballots. I'nder a strict construction of the law. the party that gained the highest vote In the state was the IVm ocratlc following and "to the victors belong the spoils." The Progressives running close seconds la the several county precincts would be given a slice of the board membership while there would not be enough pie to go around by the time that the court reached ths Republican furres. The court, however. Is at liberty to use Its own discretion In the matter as the courts have nevr y t thrown out elections unless there were charges of fraud made or some ma terial error that prevented the cxeniso of the right of franchise by some le gal citizen of the country. This provides the saving clause and the court may utterly disregard that provision of the statute relative to the division of the spoils among the mem bers of the party In power If It rhoaea to do so. Il has been working for the past few days on the list of the Judges and clerks of the election boards but It has not yet completed the cppolnt ments that are to be made. It Is probable that the routine work will be dune within the next day or so and that all of the boards will be ready for the primary election In May or any special elections that may be called In the meantime.
