CHASE - Riebldnd PAY YOUR INCOME TAX Wo have received word that a federal income tax officer will be at the Court House in Baker on Jan 17th and remain until Febru ary Oth, to help all persona sub jeet to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services, Any married person living with wife or husband, having a net income of $2,000 or over, and all unmarried persons having a net income of $1,000 or over, am sub ject to the tax. The Collector of Internal Revenue estimates there will be 611 taxpayers in Baker county. It is suggested that everybody start figuring up now his income and expenses for thd past year bo as to be ready with the figures when the time comes to make out the report. Expenses don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal cf a debt, new machinery, buildings, or anything like that They mean what you spend in making your money in terest taxes paid, hired help amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, l-cnt (except for your dwelling), and other items of like nature. Income includes about every dollar you getl Because a good many people dun't understand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the government is sending in this expert, but the duty is on the taxpayer to make himself known to the govern ment. Failure to make such re turn before March 1st may sub ject you to fine or imprisonment or both, so if you are not sure about being subject to the tax, better see the expert and be sure. "There's hardly a business man merchant or professional man who won't have to make return of income. Farmers as a class will have to pay the tax," says Milton A. Millerj Collector of In temal Revenue. The Honor Roll In our last issue we failed to mention the namds of the follow ing "home boys" in service! . Val Herring, formerly dn em ployee of P. T.

The Eagle Creek Road Under the direction of the County Court, Henry Moody; W. E. Martin and County Surveyor Hoffman viewed the Eidson road up Eagle Creek Canyon last week and officially approved the same. It was found there is not over a four per cent grane in any place and thut the road can be con structed at a small cost to Ihe county. We are informed that work on same will be commenced as early as possible in the spring. Work on Daly Creek Road. After three or more years spent in trying to get county assistance in making a road from Richland to the Daly Creek and Lookout districts, a number of the men interested in the project started work last Friday near the Bogart residence and will construct the first two and a half miles of the road at their own expense. This stretch of road will cut off the steep grade, known as the Bogart Hill and provide an easy uniform grade for several miles. When1 we asked one of the men engaged in the work as to his opinion why help had not been forthcoming from the county, he said that since Judge Duby had been in office no money had been available, and he guessed the reason Messick had refused was because there were no steel bridges needed oti that road.

Chandler; , THE QUESTIONNAIRE This important document is giving the registered men no end of worry and during the past ten days we have been beseiged with requests to assist in filling them out We have assisted a large number from start to finish, have taken the affidavits on others that were otherwise complete, and have advised marly men" whose business affairs were ex tensive or complicated to go to Baker for legal aid, ad we do not claim to be a lawyer. This work we have done with out charge, although it necessi tated Beveral trips into the coun try and many hours that could well have been deVoted to our business affairs. Being Unable to secure help in the office, we have got behind with our work and hereafter will adhere strictly to the following rulesf Advice and assistance in filling out Questionnaires or taking affi davits oti same will oe done by us only after 7 o'clock in the evening. However, Wm; E. Bean has assisted several in answering the questions and will no doubt be able to give a limited portion of his time to the work. N. B. Ashcfaft has also, con sented to giye-aisistanceto those desiring same. As he is now taking two week's vacation from his school duties, will devote a portion of his time to this work.
