When the Fat Years Return
By F. C.
Amlnlance 1-8G, Western Front.
When tho fut years return, and, rich
tml free,
Tou half forget, as men have ever
done,
Tho price once paid for your security.
Thinking too much of fortune lost or
won,
Too much of pride and laughter, food
and ease,
Or of Bomo public favor cheaply
earned,
Oh, then turn back the page and think
of these
Who gave their bodies for freedom
to be burned
For these lived, too; they, too, loved
ease and laughter,
Sunlight, the green earth. All that
you still keep I
They had, and more vision. If you
come after
And dare forget them, burled
so
young, so deep,
And dare forget this faith for which
tbey stood
Ah, but you will not, being of their
blood! The Outlook.
Start figuring now on your personal
quota of Victory Liberty Bonds. If
you don't, start figuring on Increased
taxes.
QUOTAS OF LOAN
WILL DEPEND ON
WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions of January
and February Savings Cam
paign Allotments to Re
duce Loan Task
Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District are
to be determined In some measure by
the amounts loaned the government
by each district In War 8avlngs
Stamps during January and February.
If a district oversubscribes IU War
Savings Sump quotas for the first
two months of the year, Its Victory
Liberty Loan quota will be decreased
to the extent of the oversubscription.
Conversely, If a district falls to reach
Its January and February Stamp quo
tas, Its Liberty Loan quota will be
Increased.
When Lewis B. Franklin, director
of the War Loan Organisation, was la
dsn Francisco recently) ha revealed
that on the day the armistice was
signed there was In progress In Wash
ington a meeting to formulate plana
for the continuous sale of Liberty
Iionds such a plan as governs the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond
and War Stamps work was to be
closely coordinated.
These plans were Immediately dis
carded wbon the Germans signed the
armistice and when Secretary of the
Treasury 'Glass took office he an
nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan
would bo the last. In ths fuco of sug
gestions that the Victory Loan bo put
on a cold commercial basis, bo added
that the men making these sugges
tions were discounting the patriotism
of the American people and he would
depend upon the patriotism of ths
American people rather than place se
curities of the United States govern
ment upon a plaie with the piper of
private corporations.

(The following was handed us by

By carrying wounded men across
the Meuse river on a pontoon bridge
under heavy artillery and machine
gun fire, Alvin S. Bowman, son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. A. Bowman of Falls City,
Or, won the distinguished service
cross. Alvin has a brother, Roy, and
both of the boys are with the 2d V.
3. marines, ambulance corps, and
were In the last heavy American fight
ing before the armistice was signed.
They went into action last June ai d
so iar nave received no injuries. In
speaking of the winning of the cross,
Alvin Bowman writes:
"It was hardly my good Judgement.
ut a case of saving ten of my com
pany, i was the only one to do the
work, as the other three were Dur out
of action, two killed anil th i...
wounded. I was in the same nrnrilr..
ment two months ago when brother
was wounded. I sent you some money
Just before I went over the top, be
cause I was pretty sure I'd never need
any again.
"The paymaster came yesterday and
treated us all very well. When I gave
him my name, he looked ip and asked
If I was lany relation to Hoy H. Bow
man and told me that he was In base
No. 1, which had headquarters in that
building. I at once found him and we
have been together almost all the time.
Brother is looking fine, is still on
crutches, but uses his leg to some ex
tent. He is getting the best of treat
ment Two days after brother was
wounded, the other corpsnvan, who was
with us, was'killed, as we thought, but
we did not turn him in as such for sev
eral days, as we thought he might ap
pear, but he never did. As I was pass-
lng ho,el fiIled wltn prisoners this
morning I saw him. He said he went
to get a wqunded man and the Ger
mans surrounded him and as he had m.
gun the only thing to do was to give
up.
"The 20 of us that came from Marc
Island, Cal., were pretty lucky. None
were killed, although all were woundod
but fcuf. I was fortunate enouht to
be one of the four. One lost both legs
and two others, one a leg and one his
right arm. The rest were not such
serious wounds.

In Order to Be Helpful to Public,
Internal Revenue Bureau
Has Every Available
Officer in Field.
SEVERE PENALTIES IF YOU
' DELAY BEYOND MARCH 15
With the due date for Income Taxes
only a few weeks sway, the collection
of this far-reaching tax on 1918 In
comes has started oft with a ahg.
Everybody hi figuring Income tax.
Payments and sworn statements of
Income most reach Internet Revenue
faces OB or before March 15, and there
are severe penalties for delinquency.
Residents of Oregon are required to
make their returns and pay their taxes
to Milton A, Mller, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, Portland, Ore., or to any
of his deputy collectors who are now
doing free advisory work on Income
Tax.
"Pay your Income Tax by March
IS," Is the slogan of ths Internal Rev
enue Bureau, which has sent every
available officer Into the field to belp
the public to understand the require
ments snd to prepare ths returns.
Who Must Maks Return.
It Is estimated that many thousands
of single and married persons In this
section of the Unted States who have
never before made annual returns are
required to do so this yenr.
Income tax returns must be made
between now and Murch 15 by persons
who come under the following classifi
cations: Any unmarried person whose 1018
net Income was $1,000 or over. Wid
ows and widowers, divorcees and mar
ried persons who ore living apart from
their husbands or wives, are for the
purposes of the Income Tax classed as
unmarried.
Any married person living with wife
or husband whose 1!)18 net income was
$2,000 or over. The Income of both
husband and wife must he considered,
together with the earnings of minor
children, If any.
Revenue Bureau Offers Aid.
Ench person In the United Stntes
who Is In either of these clarslflcatlons
must get busy at once If penalties are
to be avoided, no should secure a
blank Form 1040 A for reporting net
Income up to $5,000, or Form 1040 If
bis net Income exceeded that amount
Forms Are being distributed by Collec
tors and their Deputies, also by banks.
By following the Instructions on the
forms a correct return can be prepared
at home. If a person needs advice or
aid, the Deputy Collectors In the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In
come Tax duty on cltlxens and resi
dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau
is sending Its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re
turns In. With active co-operation
every tax due March 15 will be paid
I and every return required by law will
be In the Revenue offices on time.
Exemptions Allowsd.
A single person Is allowed a per
sonal exemption of $1,000. If ht Is sup
porting In his household relatives who
are dependent upon him he may claim
the status of the head of a family who
has the same exemption es If married.
A married person who lives with
wire or husband is allowed a-personal
exemption of $2,000. The head of a
family Is entitled to claim a similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption of $200, Is
allowed for each person under eight
een or Incapable of self support who
was dependent upon and received bis
chief support from the taxpayer.
, A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex
emption of $2,000. If they maks sepa
rate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy is necessary in
making up Income fi fares. Any per
son who Is working for wages should
and eat exsetly bow much he received
daring the whole yesr 1918. Tees,
hank Interest, bond Interest dividends,
rests received snd all ether Kerne
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses sre net accepted, for they are
unjust alike te ths taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper ad
ministration of the law.
