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.

..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.
