PROM SULPHUR
A Pretty Sight
A few daya since I boarded a
Santa Fe train at Sulphur bound
for Dallas, Texas. My trip was
by way of Ardmore, Gainsville
and Port Worth. Circumstance
brought the governors of Texas
aad Oklahoma together at Fort
Worth on this date, and a show
was staged for the occasion at
the avauition Camp Taliaferro,
jast east of the city to take
place beginning at 4 o'clock p. m.

the flyers just at the right time
to see from the windows of the
coaches the twenty-one air

lamp, where rows of large build-
ings almost a mile in length, for
housing the planes are either
completed or nearing comple-
tion. Many men and teams are
engaged in making smooth a
large tract of land for the oper- j
£.ii ,n of the great number of
fighting planes that are to be
trained and tried out, then to
be sent to France to fight the
Germans.

fcr its life, and it is no time for
slackers—so long as there is an

During the first years of the
war his policy was to stay out
and allow the mad war gods of
Europe to settle their own quar-

us saw why we should enter the

priceless heritage of the Amer-

Mutual Benefit Column
—Bv Tice Elkins—
Two trains are scheduled for
a city where connections with
another line were to be made.
The first train allowed three
hours to make the connection,
while the second alloed only a
few minutes. 'Is it safe to
take the second train?" asked a
passenger. "It is never safe
to take the last chance," answer-1
ed the agent. What a sermon. |
REGARDING THE PAY-
ING OF INCOME TAX
(Continued from 1st page, col 6)
It will be unnecessary for pros-
pective taxpayers to ask my of-
fice for forms on which to make
returns. The officer who vis-
its their county will have them".
"It may be stated as a matter
of genei-al information that the
"net income' is the remainder
after substracting expenses
from gross income. Personal,
family, or living expense is not
expense in the meaning of the
law, the exemption being allow-
ed to cover such expense.
"The new exemption of 1,000
and 2,000 will add tens of thou-
sands to the number of income
taxpayers in this district in as
much as practieaUy every farm-
er, merchant, tradesman, pro-
fessional man and salary work-
er and a great many wage work-
ers will be required to make re-
turns and pay tax.
"The law makes it the duty
f the taxpayer to seek out the
collector. Many people assume
that if an income tax form is not
sent or a government officer
does not call, they are releaved
from making report. This is
decidedly in error. It is the
other way round. The taxpay-
er has to go to the government
and if he doesn't within the
time prscribed. he is a violator
of the law, and the government
will go to him with its pen-
alty.
