April 1, 1018, Ir the flnnl day aimed under the federal Income tai iw for the filing of federal income ix returns. Persons who are requlrd to file returns under the provisions f law and who fall to get tlielr relrns in on time are subject to seere penalties, as follows: For making false or fraudulent reirn, not exceeding $2,000 or not exeeding one year's Imprisonment, or oth, in the discretion of the court, nd. In nddltion, 100 per cent, of the ?x evaded. For falling to make return on time, ot less than $20 nor more than $1,DO, and, In addition, 50 per cent, of tie amount of tax due. If on account of Illness or absence rora home you are unable to render our return within the time prescribed y law you may obtain an extension f 30 days if a request therefor is filed rith the collector of your district be>re the due date of the return. In lis request you must state the reaon why the return cannot be filed rithln the time prescribed by law. Collectors of Internal revenue are ot authorized to grant extensions of lore than 30 days, but the commlsloner of Internal revenue lias author y to prant a reasonable extension eyond 30 days In meritorious cases, f you desire an extension of more han 30 days your request should be ddressed to the commissioner and hould contain a detailed statement overlnp the reasons which make It j nposslhle for you to file your return I n or before April 1. The Internal revenue men are now j ompletlnp their tour of the country, | urlnp which they were In touch with he people of every city and town. If 1 ou failed to pet In touch with the eputy which visited your section It Is ot too late to pet advice. Consult j our postmaster as to where the near- | st deputy Is now. Get your blank arm, study the directions and the reulrements as shown thereon ajid lake your return without fail If your icome was sufficient to come within | he bounds named In the law. It Is pointed out by Commissioner toper that It Is Important that the eople comply with the federal laws s fully as they are complying with he drafts for men and the conservalon of foods and fuel. "The war must e paid for," says Commissioner Roper. Congress has as much right to concrlpt a Just portion of Income as It as to conscript our hoys. The tax r?r 1917 Is designed to reach moder* te as well as large Incomes, so that 11 persons who nre In financial posl- j Ion to bear a portion of the heavy overninent expenses can be nssessed n proportion to their ability to pay. ) "The man who Is barely making n vlng or barely supporting a family ! ? not affected by the 1917 law. But he man who Is nble to hear a share f the burden has been reached by he new law, and he should accept his ?sponslhlllty In the same patriotic plrlt that our young men hnve shown , i offering themselves for this great urpose of the country to make the orhl safe for people of all kinds to ve In and to govern themselves." This tax Is one which recognizes rumen as on an equal basis with men. 'he unmarried woman or the married -oiuan with a salary must make tax rturn Just the same as any man. Only lie woman supporting her mother or titer members of her family may take ut exemption. Under the luw the head of the faml1 Is the one whose earning power conributes to the family's support. Similarly a widow with utmiii ?kii run to support can take out $2,000 sumption and $200 additional exemplon for each of her children under ighteen. Thus It 1h Intended that :te law shall work no hardship to woion having to struggle to gut along, lut uach must tile return If her Intone is $1,000. ! A man whose wife dies and who Is >ft with small children to support pon a moderate Income mny also take ill exemption under the new tax law ad also cluim $200 exemption for rch of his children under eighteen. The widower under the law la a ingle man and must make tax reirn accordingly. Married men need ?t file returns unless they are earn ig $2,000 or more. "This Is as much a national ohllga* on as the reporting for duty of a man rafted for service with the colors," iya I). C. Roper, commissioner of In>rnal revenue. "As It stands, It Is itich a matter of the man or wo* an'g own conscience. It Is for him r for her to determine Just how far ? Is liable to the tax. He must figure Is own Income and If It reaches the gures named In the law inust make ilthful report upon It to the proper athorlty. "This tax Is distinctly a war meaare and will be In effect during the nr. "This Is a people's tax?It reaches ght down Into the porkets of the nail wage earner; It makes him a nrtner In the Job of winning the ar." The 8oclal Exeuae.

Many and varied were the exp rlences which befell them, not tl b ast of which occurred on the islar of Mallicala, where Nagapate, tl chief high sechem of the Big Numb tribe, showed a fondness for the company and took steps to deta them. Nagapate already has betwei sixty and one hundred wives, and large number of citizens, so tl Johnsons thought he could comfoi ably get along without them. Hen they escaped.

I guess this Is his war j i well as mine!" Thinking of young Henry Wllklns, '' t remembered that Mrs. Wllklna went ' rery afternoon to make bondages for 1 le Red Cross and that Henry, who n as a lawyer, was aiding the Ixical e raft Board with Its questionnaires. "Well," he admitted to himself, hat makes a difference." He thought next of Judge YVIllough- C, whose Income was about $3,000. y "He only pays $20," commented Mr. v impklns, not quite so angrily this j, me; and then a thought struck him nd he sat up rigidly In his chair. Judge Wllloughhy's son had been ' onneu. no couldn't even salute. a "I?amn!" said Mr. Simpklns, and c itli hlM other hand fiercely twirled Ills hlte mustachlos. I c He turned and limped Into the II nry and sat down crenklly before the p ahogany desk on which were lying e blanks for his Income tax state* . q ent, hlunks which he had rather ^ uniplly got from the Internal Reve- i le officer only that day after lunch- ! m on his way home from the club. Mr. Slmpklns' Income for 1017 had ? nounted to Just ahout $10,000. and he ; * id been rather snappy on the sub- 1 ct of taxes ever since he had dlscov- N ed that the more Income a man haa e greater the percentage of It he g< i.vs In taxes. He could think of sev- g al men who, like himself, were marp?l and had two children, and yet, though their Incomes were nearly ilf of his, they would pay only a nail fraction of the amount he paid, r e gloomily drew the blank nearer ti id began filling In the information ti at It asked for. d As Mr. Slmpklns' Income was $15,000 j had to figure out the amounts pay- ^ lie on each of the successive smaller nsses of Incomes In order to arrive the total due from himself. Ho ? issed over the first class who must 1 ly taxes, that Is, single men making 3 'er 1,000. His calculation for mar- 4 ed men then showed up as follows: ( First, they pay 2 per cent, (under ^ le 191G law) on all Income over 1,000, deducting $200 for ench of their illdren under eighteen years. In Mr. mpklns' case this was $212, which he *' it down In the "payable" column. ( He saw next that, under the 1917 a w, married men pay an additional 2 a >r cent, on all over $2.000?with the f( ime allowance for children. This e Ided $2.r>2 to his "payable" column. He then observed that for every 1.900 Jump In his Income over $5,000 ? had to pny a Surtax, the percentage owing larger with each Jump. This as $250 more added to his burden, j nd on top of all this cnme an "Ex- ? ss Profits" tax of 8 per cent, on all ' iceupatlon" Income over $0,000, makg $720 more. The total, then, he must pay was four- | en hundred nnd thirty-four dollars. "Whew!" exclaimed Mr. Slnipklns ' lgrlly. "There's young Henry Wll- * ns, who married Jake Johnson's girl, ? makes $2,000 nnd he doesn't pny a ruwiifu cm me i usrnnm wnen it was l lbmarlned with the loss of two hunred soldiers. "Judge Wlllouphby pave his son to g merlca," muttered Mr. Simpklns. ^ He lenned forward suddenly and put () Is face in his hands. For a lonp time Mr. Slmpklns sat 11 pry still In that position. There was r> sound In the library except the cklnp of the tall clock and an occa- a onal trill of laughter from the chll- s ren skylarking ujmtnlrs. The square ^ P light on the carpet gradually withrew Itself through the window, and rst twilight and then darkness settled 0 i about the quiet, white haired, some- " mes Irascible old man.
