HUERTA TO QUIT Teachers
NOW THE WORRY
Saturday at the present high school
pears to some of us at different
times that black is white and white
is black. The city council, at a ses­
sion, last February, passed an ordi­
nance licensing trades, professions
and callings within the city of Sweet
Home, Ore. Said ordinance speci­
fying each trade,-profession, calling
or occupation to be taxed and; the
amount of the taxes per day or
quarter.
Last Friday evening two of Sweet
Home’s young men sought to give
an invitation dance or ball, where­
upon some of the citizens thought
that the giving of the dance was in
strict violation of the ordinance.
Mr. Story having been appointed
marshal, at the opening of the dance
immediately proceded to the hall,
and with, his deputies placed the
young men under arrest and brought
them before the recorder. The' re­
corder immediately read that ! part
of the ordinance to the young men
which relates in particular -to the
dance. Said ordinance stating in
section 13, Dance hall shall pay a
license of $20 per quarter. In sec-
tioh 16 it also states that parties
wishing a license must apply to the
city treasurer for the same, pay the
required fee, take a receipt specify­
ing thè trade, for hoW long, to
Whom issued and the amount .paid,
then present the receipt to the re­
corder and get the license.
Now it so happened that the; city
was without a treasurer and the
council well knew the fact, but
owing to the failure in having a
meeting, did not appoint a treas­
urer. Now the ordinance gives the
recorder no alternative in such
matters, consequently the recorder
seeing nothing else to be donp, dis­
missed the defendants in the case.
.It is said that the dance was con­
ducted in a most orderly manner,
being free from, the rowdyism which
has, heretofore, caused Sweet Home
dances to become unpopular.

Almost Unlimited Power Given Authori­
ties in Seeking Information
on Incomes
Those Portland persons who are
fortunate enough . to be affected by
the new Federal income tax law are
buisily preparing statements of their
personèl income-bearing resources
so that payments may be made ' into
the hands of the government offi­
cials.
Milton \A. Miller, collector of
Internal Revenue, who will „have
charge of collections in this district,
anticipates immediate and voluntary
compliance with the law by persons
who are affected.
It is probable that the govern­
ment will be a little lenient in en­
forcing collections for the first
month, as many persons are not yet
familar with the Federal require­
ments. The. law became operative^
yesterday.
On account of the confusion grow­
ingnut of the efforts to prepare in­
come statements, the government
has suspended collections of the tax
from corporations for a >month.
The collector of Internal revenue
and assistants have almost unlimited
power in seeking information on the
incomes, of persons, firms arid cor­
porations. The statistics of the cor­
poration tax bureau, which is now
Conducted by the collector of Inter­
nal Revenue, are, of course, avail­
able.
The records of the county asses­
sors offices and all other public ,
records may be examined. The
payrolls of employers, upon which
may be noted the salaries paid to
employes, may be serfftinized.
The law provides that “every col­
lector shall, from , time to time,
cause his deputies to\proceed
through'every part of the district
and enquire after and concerning
all persons therein who are liable to
pay any such tax and all persons
owning and having 'the care and
management of any objects liable
to pay any tax and to make a list
of such persons and enumerate said
objects.”
Many persons who wifi be requir-
ed:to pay income tax under the pro­
visions. of this bill are saving their
