American Farm Bureau federation.
"An attempt was made to get an
agreement to oppose the Capper bill.
which repealed the guarantee clause
of the Commins-Esch bill and re
established the powers of the states
in intrastate matters," he said. "The
farm representatives objected to this,
standing firm for the repeal of all
guaranteed returns and the Integrity
of state commissions.
"Matters pertaining to reduced la

an agreement was made. This con

i A
GOVERNOR CERTAIN i
GAS TAX IS NEEDED
Explains What he Hopes it to Do
After Turning Down Bridge
Delegation of Yankton.
Lincoln, Dec. 27. Having dis
missed a delegation of northern Ne-
braskans seeking $100,000 for the
Nebraska approach to the Yankton, ,
D., bridge, with the explanation i
that "no emergency was great en
ough to increase any appropriation i
at the special session of the legisla-,
ure. Governor McKelvie today made
public data supporting the l-cent
tax on gasoline, which he paid was
his principal object in calling the .
session.
The proposed tax would raise
about $750,000 annually. The $30,
000,000 levied by the last legislature
has to date fallen behind about Z,-
000,000 of meeting expenses.
Governor McKelvie made public a
letter from Louis F. Hart, governor
of Washington, in which he said
that his state had collected $440,
000 in the last five months, with an
expense of $500.
"This tax is proving the most sat
isfactory of any tax that is levied in
the state." the . Washingtonian of
ficial said.
McKelvie said the six other states
having a fuel tax included rennsyl-
vania, Colorado. Georgia,- Montana.
New Mexico and South Dakota.
The Nebraska governor said he
didn't expect the special session to
cost over $10,000. He was reminded
that If it lasted ten aas es swiu s,
WOU1Q Uraw ilO.vu m saianco. ii
said he didn't anticipate that tne
Bession would last as long as that.
In connection with the session.
McKelvie indicated that he migut
ask for a special commission to in
vestigate the revenue law passed oy
the last legislature to report at the
next regular session of the legisla
ture in 1923.
The delegation calling on the gov
ernor today wanted the governor to
include in his call an appropriation
of $100,000 to build a 3.C00-foot ap
proach to the $889,000 bridge, in
crder to prevent lowland floods
sweeping away the approach to the
Nebraska side of the bridge.
INCOME TAXES ARE
THE NEXT ON DECK
Scarcely Time for Breathing Spell
between Christmas Shock ana
the Filing of Reports.
With the approach cf the period
for filing income tax-returns, Janu
ary 1st to March 15, 1922. taxpayers
are -advised to lose no tim'4, in the
compilation of thriF accounts for the
year 1921.- A new and important
provision of the Revenue Act of 1921
is that every person whose gross in
come for 1921 was $5,000 or over,
shall file a return, regardless of the
amount of net income upon which
the tax is assessed. Returns are re
quired of every single person whose
net income was $1,000 or over and
every married person living with hus
band or wife, whose net income wai
$2,000 or over. Widows and widow
ers and persons separated or divorced
from husband or wife, are regarded
ao single persons.
Net income is gross income, les:;
certain deductions for business ex
penses, losses, taxes, etc. 'dross in
come includes practically all income
received by the taxpayer during the
year; in the case of the wage earner,
salaries, wages, bonuses and commis
sions; in the case of professional
men, all amounts received for pro
fessional services; in the case of
farmers all profits from the sale of
farm products, and rental or sale of
land.
In the making of an income tax re
turn for the year 1921, every tax
payer should present to himself the
following questions:
What were your profits from your
business, trade, profession or vocation?-
Did you receive any interest on
bank deposits?
Have you any property from which
you receive rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of dividend or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses dur
ing the year?
Did you make any profit on the
sale of stocks, bonds or other prop
erty, real or personal?
Did you act as a broker in any
transaction from which you received
commissions?
Are you interested in any part
nership or other firm from which you
received any income?
Have you any income from royal
ties or patents?
Have you any minor children who
are working?
Do you appropriate, or have the
right to appropriate the earnings of
such children? If so. the amount
must be included in the return of in
come. Has your wife any income from
any source whatsoever? If so it must
be included in your return or re
ported in a separate return of in
come. Did you receive any directors' fees
or trustees' fees in the course of the
year?
Do you hold any office In a bene
fit society from which you receive in
come? Answers to all of these questions
are necessary to determine whether
a person has an income sufficiently
large to require that a return be
file, and may be the means of avoid
ing the heavy penalties imposed for
failure to do so within the time
prescribed.

DAUGHERTY ASK HELP
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
Urges State Action in Prohibition
and Food an Fuel Supply Acts
For Co-Operation.
Washington. Dec. 27. Co-operation
of state law enforcement officials
with those of the federal government
was asked by Attorney General
Daugherty in letters sent late today
to the attorney generals of the states.
Such co-operation, it was maintain
ed, would result in better and more
uniform enforcement of all statutes.
Enforcement of the prohibition
and the food and fuel supply laws
were particularly referred to, Mr.
Daugherty explained In announcing
dispatch of the letters. There was no
disposition by the federal government
to evade responsibility, he added, but
there was a feeling that the states
should make every effort to enforce
their laws which might be a dupli
cation of federal statutes.
May Aim at Retailers
The letters were also accepted in
some quarters as a step in connec
tion with the move recently an
nounced of investigating retailers.
Mr. Daugherty suggested to the
state attorney generals that they call
conferences of county prosecutors
and, if possible, bring about "a co
herent working agreement" between
them and federal officials. Such meet
ings, he added, ought to be held early
next year, so that tlie basis of un
derstanding ' could be employed to
effect economies in expenditures as
well as serve the real purpose of ac
complishing more through law en
forcement. The co-ordination sought, Mr.
Daugherty said, ought to be of real
help to municipal authorities, cham
bers of commerce and others inter
ested in reaching "iolations for ex
tortion in the prices now maintain
ed." Referring to the co-operation
which he asked, Mr. Daugherty said:
"This will make for a better un
derstanding among the people. It
will also afford an opportunity for
the several states, without duplica
tion with the federal government, to
enforce laws which should be en
forced by state authorities and leave
for the federal government such du
ties as devolve upon it.
"Principal Offenses"
"The two principal offenses which
I have in mind are those against the
liquor and the food and fuel laws.
There is no disposition on the part
of the federal government to evade
any responsibility in respect to its
duties, but the states, I believe,
should first enforce their laws in Te
gard to the violations, and the fed
eral "government promptly co-oper-tlng
with the states, enforce the
laws which should be enforced by it."
He added that he was desirous of
bringing about a "complete and ef
fective working system," among all
law enforcement authorities, saying
that only by such an arrangement
could a uniformity of proceedings be
established and a similarity of fines
and sentences be worked out.
