TITE MORNIXCr OREGOXTAN. TUESDAY. JANUARY 1.1, 191-1. 9 INCOME TUNIS ARE BEING MAILED Bankers and County Officials Assist in Compiling Lists of Persons Affected. PAYMENTS DUE MARCH 1 tion pledging as the system to be used by the sororities of the University of Washington was formally adopted by the Pan-Hellenlo Association this after, noon. This action upon the part of the sororities practically lays down all the former bars erected In past years to restrict the excessive "rushing" of entering freshmen. According to the settlement affected, the sororities will govern their own actions. They must observe only one rule in particular and that Is to refrain from pledging before the freshman has fully ma triculated. The women will be permitted to rush and talk to the freshman all they please and to show them as good a time as they desire unhampered by any restric tions. The women believe that this system will conduce to better feeling and free dom in choosing their rushes. ' The new system will be effective with the opening of the coming semester, February 2. 0.1 PLUflER Oil TRIP AS DELEGATE Collector Sillier Gives Treaties on I-aw, Including Methods of Com puting Revenue, and Also Com. ments . on Penalties. Those fortunate Oregon residents whose net incomes are $3000 or more now are receiving from their respective County Treasurers or from the office of the Internal Revenue Collector in Portland blank forms to be filled out for remittance of their first Installment of the Federal Income tax. ."While the several County Treasurers of the state are not made official col lectors of the Income tax nor agents for distribution of the blank forms, according to the Federal law, Milton A. Miller, collector of internal revenue, has requested the county officials to assist him in reaching the persons who are subject to assessment by income tar. In sending out the blanks to the County Treasurers Mr. Miller calls at tention to the provisions of the law which make it imperative that the In come tax returns each year be filed on or- before March 1. Payments due March 1. 1914, apply on the tax for the last preceding year. Notice of Penalties Given. The collector also calls attention In the following language to the pen alties for failure to file the return: "The penalty for failure to file the return within -the time specified by law Is $20 to $1000. In case of refusal or neglect to render the return within the required time (except In case of sick ness or absence) 50 per cent shall be added to amount of tax assessed. In case of false or fraudulent return 100 per cent shall be added to such tax, and any person required by law to make, render, sign or verify any re turn who makes any false or fraud ulent return statement with Intent to defeat or evade the assessment re quired by this section to be made shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding $2000 or be Im prisoned not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion of the court, with the costs of prosecution." Lists Being; Complied. Mr. Miller and his assistants have compiled a long list of Oregon citizens and corporations whom they know are subject to Income tax assessment. Blank forms will be mailed direct to them. Additional names are being se cured from the tax rolls and from other official sources. Banks and corporations are display ing a disposition to co-operate with the Federal authorities. They are supply ing information and offering assistance In other ways. Mr. Miller calls attention to the pro visions of the law requiring every per son whose Income Is $3000 or more per annum to pay income tax at the rate of 1 per cent on his total income. A married man or married woman is al lowed $4000 exemption. Explanation is made on the Instruc tions accompanying the blanks how . farmers are to compute their incomes. Much doubt has been entertained on this subject heretofore. A specific declaration Is made that United States pensions shall be in cluded as income. Estimated advance In value of real estate is not required to be reported as Income unless the Increased value is taken up on the books of the owner as an Increase of assets.

Dew In Los Ange les last Summer under the name of Adolphus Busch. but knew his real name before she became engaged . to marry him, was the statement of Miss Wilms Meyers, 585 East Twentieth street. North, last night. The engagement was entered under condition that Dew get a Job and quit borrowing money, she says, and was broken in October, when she became convinced that the man did not intend to reform. Dew. she said, comes of a respectable family, in Belleville, IlL'The girl's father is a retired business man n Los Angeles. "I know that the newspapers are giving my actions a silly appearance," she said. "But my Intentions were all right, and the story has been greatly exaggerated. I really cared for him, and felt that he might be reformed. Every woman he had ever met had gone after his money. His money was nothing to me. I knew that he was not rich when I promised to marry him. He is talented, though, and could be come a notable man if he would only try. Last October I received a letter from his father, telling me of John's esca pades, and I immediately wrote to him, telling that I would break the engage ment if he did not quit borrowing money and go to work. It was the last time I ever wrote to him. I did not even know where he was till he was arrested." . Dew stayed at the Imperial Hotel In Portland for about three weeks. During that time. It Is said, he borrowed $30 from G. E. Irwin, the elevator man; $10 from Charles Hunlock, a bellman, and $15 from David Zaik, a page.

ELEVATOR BRAKE INVENTED M. O. Godding, Portland Man, Se cures Patents on Device. M O. Godding, a Portland inventor, has secured patents on a new style ele vator brake which he proposes soon to take to New York City for exhibition. The principle of his brake, which is expected to make it superior to all ele vator brakes now In use. Is a governor wheel that will bring the elevator to a sliding stop without a sudden Jar. All modern elevators have emergency brakes, but this is said to be the first brake designed that will not cause a sudden stop. He has applied the same principle to a oralis on mloe.cusi which will pre vent cages from dropping If the cable breaks, and also prevent tnem from plunging through the sheav wheels if the engineer loses control. The weight of the load. In either case, supplies the braking power. CHOSEN KNOWN TOMORROW Pari Committee) of 12 Members Named by St- Johns Citizens. ST. JOHNS, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) C. H.
