Concerning Income Tax AloTig with the regular property tax must be considered the federal income tax, "tiho provisions of which will re main practically as they were last year. Most citizens who can boast in comes are aware of the requirements from the roturns of last year. Tho fol lowing points are mentioned by way of reminder: AH single persons whose, incomo amounts to $1000 a year, and an married men whose income amounts to $2000 a year are expected to make returns to the collector's of fice, whether or not they are subject to taxation. Boturns are to be filed on or beforo March 1 and payments are to be made on or before June IS, In duo time a deputy from Collector Miller's headquarters in Portland will bo sta tioned in Salem with the necessary blanks and a big fund of information for those still in doubt as to "where tiiey are at." For the enlightenment of the taxpayers generally Collector Miller makes the following statement: "Gross incomo must bo figured from 'all sources. Overtime pay, money earn ed 'by minor children, property sold at a profit, interest on bauk dopositajn terest on bonds, except city, state and county, stock dividends all these and more must be f igured in the gross in come. "Net earnings of dealers, in mer chandise must bo figured as the dif ference between gross sales and the coat of goods, plug necessary expenses. Professional men must figure in all fees, deducting therefrom all expenses in connection with the practice.

It has been a prosperous year for all and we want to see that everyone gets a square deal in helping the gov ernment to meet its obligations." Dr. Coan Paints Vivid Word m Picture Of War In Armenia Dr. Coan, of Persia, who spoke be fore the mass meeting in tho armory last evening, did -not mince words or epitaphs in discussing the part played by the Hun8 in tie slaughter of inno cents in Armenia and Assyria. In fact, ho declared that the brutality of the unspeakable Turk was engendered and directed by German military leaders for tho deliberate purpose of annihilating a nation that refused to declare itself an enemy of the allies. In view of this, which he tonus the greatest crime in the history of the world, he expresses little short of contempt for those who are inclined to forgive and treat the Gorman nation with leniency. The picture which Dr. Coan drew of tho conditions which he had personally witnessed in Armenia during thij war was almost too terriblo to be related in public and it ought to stir the Am erican workers who had imperilled their lives daily in order to do what they could for the refugees. In closing his address he made a strong appeal ,to the people of Salem to assume thoir share in the respon sibility for saving the millions of Asia Minor from utter starvation. Mr. Hewlitt, county chairman of the Armenian campaign, took the platform and called for volunteers to help In the campaign which is to be opened on February 24th. A large group of men and women arose in response to the appeal. re n 'a HI u uu As the last five days of February we will be moving and it will' be much more convenient for you to secure the wonderful bargains we offer you this week. 44 Cents 19 font 6 Spools For 25c. 59 Cmte 3 Spools Crochet For Men's 75c For Women's 35c Of 200 yard spool For Womens 75c Cotton for Night Shirts Hosiery ' utton Handkerchiefs ' 25c 75c Cents 39 Cents 9c For 100 Yards 35 Cents 2 1-2'c for Richard Fop, Men's $1.25 ' For Women's 60c For 50c Linen son or Carson & Nightshirts Hosiery Spool Silk Handkerchiefs Currier Silk Floss 25 Cents 69 Cents $2.47 M fats 35 faite Per yard for ribbon For $1.00 Waist and For $4.50 White For 45c Hair , 6 inches wide, sold Wash Silk Petti- tww ' Fora11 over laces elSewhereat40cyd Shirtsfo Boys .
