WARNEDlTOlBEWARE
OF FAKE TAX EXPERTS
Collector Geo. L. Ixtomls of Omaha,
in l-liarge of Nebraska, Calls At
tention to So-called Expert
Collector Geo. L. Loom is of Oma
ha, of the Bureau of Internal Reve
nue, calls attention to the warning
issued by the bureau against "fake
experts" on the Income Tax. A state
ment regarding this received from
Commissioner Daniel C. Roper says:
"Business houses and individual
taxpayers are being canvassed this
year by numerous so-called 'Income
Tax experts', who offer to use t' eir
magic wands of Income Tax wisdom
to relieve the busy taxpayer from all
worries about his tax responsibili
ties. "I desire to make public an
nouncement, for the Information of
taxpayers, that an investigation of
the qualifications of many of these
'experts' will disclose the fact that
very few have had the training and
experience that would place them
anywhere near the expert class.
"Some of them were formerly
temporary employees of the govern
ment who are attempting to capital
ise this fact regardless of their per
sonal knowledge of the revenue laws
and regulations. Others are solicit
ing clients on the strength of diplo
mas as Income Tax experts obtained
after taking long-distanie courses by
leans of printed Instructions of
doubtful value.
VTaxpayers should not alio
themselves to be imposed upon b
strangers who claim to be Income
Tax experts. They should discrim
inate carefully between really help
ful, authoritative advice in tax mat
ters, and the irresponsible brand
peddled under glittering pretenses.
"The bureau is arranging to fur
nish for the benefit of Income Tax
payers in every city and town In the
country a free advisory service by
trained collectors, agents, inspectors
and deputies. At the offices of col
lectors and their deputies, and at
other central points, free informa
tion and advice with respect to filing
returns under the new revenue bill
may be had up to the final date for
filing such returns.
"Banks, trust companies and sim
ilar responsible institutions have al
ways co-operated In furnishing au
thentic Income Tax Information, and
have generously offered to serve the
government and taxpayers in this re
spect again this year.
"It Is the aim of the Bureau to
bring its agencies as close as possi
ble to every person and to make
available "In official form all neces
sary information regarding the re
quirements of the law. The bureau
welcomes aid from every responsible
agency in Its effort to enlighten the
people on tax matters.
"Every taxpayer Is assured of a
square deal from the government
based entirely on the tax laws and
regulations and the facts in his case.
No other influence is allowed to en
ter Into Internal Revenue matters
and the statement of any firm or In
dividual that they are in a position
to exert special Influence with Inter
nal Revenue officers Is wholly with
out foundation in fact. Painstaking
and open-minded consideration is
given in every case regardless of
whether the taxpayer appears in per
son or by attorney.
"Firms or . pesons who offer to
prosecute claims against the govern
ment can secure no special consider
ation beyond the merits of the claims
as determined by the facts and the
law.
"Any former government officer or
employee is barred by statute from
acting as counsel, attorney or agent
for prosecuting claims against the
United States which were pending
while he was an officer or employee;
and Is also barred from aiding In any
manner the prosecution of such
claims within two years after leav
ing the government service."
Toad's Good Service.
The toad is useful because of It
diet. No less than 83 specimens of
insects, mostly injurious, have beeii
proved to enter Into Its dietary'. Georgi
W. Hunter says: A toad has been ob
served to snap up 128 flies In half un
hour. Thus at a low estimate .1
could easily destroy 1,000 insects during
a day and do an Immense service to
the garden during th summer. It
has been estimated that a single toitd
may, on account of the cutvvorinj
which it kills, be worth S 19.83 eutb
season thut it lives.

Many Excellent Provisions
-
A road legislation bill was intro

er structures thereon.
The maintenance of the State

under the direction of the State
Board of Irrigation, Highways and

When any county shall adequately
maintain the State Highways within
its limits, there shall be paid Into
the county treasury, out of the State
Highway fund, the actual cost of
such maintenance.
The State Highway Fund shall be
derived from the tax on all motor
vehicles; such tax to be a minimum
of ten dollars per car and graduated
to 50 cents per hundred pounds on
all cars over 2,000 pounds. One-
fourth of this fund to be placed in
the county for the county road drag
ging fund, and three-fourths to be
used for construction and mainten
ance by the State Board of Irriga
tion Highways and Drainage In the
county where same tax Is collected.
This system of roads connect all
the county Beats, and 63 per cent of
all the people in the state live direct
ly on these roads.
On the fifteenth of each month the
State Board of Irrigation, Highways
and Drainage shall file with the
county clerk of each county a certi
fied statement showing the total
amount of money received, the total
claims allowed and the amount of
money available in the fund for the
maintenance of the State Highways'
In each county.
Provides for Traffic Regulation
No motor vehicle in excess of sev
en and one-half feet in width, or
twelve feet in height, shall be oper
ated on the system of State High
ways. Motor vehicles shall not carry a
load In excess of 600 pounds per inch
of tire width.
The weight of truck and load com
bined shall not exceed 7,000 pounds
on any one wheel, unless special per
mission has been obtained of the
State Board of Irrigation, Highways
and Drainage.
The State Board may formulate
such rules and regulations in regard
to the use of and travel upon the
State Highways as it deems neces
sary to promote public safety and to
protect the State Highways.
The State Board shall publish
these rules and regulations In pam
phlet form, and furnish them, upon
request, to the general public with
out charge.

Statement of Alliance Resident are
Surely More Reliable Than
Those of Strangers
Home testimony Is real proof.
Public statements of Alliance pee
pie carry real weight.
What a friend or neighbor says
compels respect.
The word of one whose home is
far away invites your doubts.
Here's an Alliance man's state
ment. And it's for Alliance people's
benefit.
Such evidence is convincing.
That's the kind of proof that backs
Doan's Kidney Pills. .

and heavy work would about use me
up. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me and I endorse them as a first
class kidney medicine."
