Show Tax Returns Due March 15 To Government DEPUTY TO AID FILLING OUT OF BLANK AT THE HELPER CITY HALL FEB. 17 ANT) 18 I For the convenience of those who are required by law to file federal income tax returns, Abel G. Gudmundsen, deputy collector of internal revenue, will be at the city hall in Helper February to assist taxpayers in preparing their returns. No charge will be made for this service. Liability for Tax Returns The attention of persons liable for income tax returns for the year 1932 is being called by the United States internal revenue bureau to changes in the 1932 rev-- f enue act which greatly increase the number of those persons in the Utah district. These changes include the following items: The exemption for married persons Is reduced to $2500 from the former figure of $3500. Under this, 'those living in the marital state must make returns on an income of $2500. Returns are filed with the collector of internal revenue. The exemption for single persons is reduced from $1500 to. $1000. That is, every single or unmarried person receiving an annual income of $1000 must make return thereon to the collector of internal revenue. Income tax blanks are mailed to those only who filed returns for the previous year. This does not provide for thousands of new" taxpayers who, in order not to become liable to penalties, should make application for income tax blanks. Failure to receive a blank form for return does not excuse a taxpayer from filing a return, or prevent the assertion of the penalty fixed by law for failure. Blanks for income tax returns. can be obtained at the collector's office in the post office building at Salt Lake City or at the branch offices at Ogden, Provo or Richfield. Requests by mail will receive prompt attention. As all returns must be in on or hefore Wednesday, March 15, 1933, it is suggested that early application be made for blanks, to avoid failure to get returns in as required by law. It will be recalled that these re- quircments are made under the law of the United States, and have no relation to the state income tax law. 17-1- 8, . r f BUY AT HOME Clear Creek Mail Held by Storm f. The heavy snowfall of the past two weeks has formed an increasing handicap for the mail carrier between Clear Creek and Soldier Summit. The mail truck reached the summit Wednesday four hours Jate, having been helped over the roads by a tractor and six men. It now appears that unless the county is able to keep the road open the D&RGW will be called upon to carry the mail until the weather abates.

Several weeks ago, unofficially," hope was founded in the breasts of Helperites that if this city should be willing to contribute a portion of the funds necessary to sponsor the annual band contest promoted by the city of Price, a portion of the contests might be held in Helper. This hope, however, was not officially tendered. During the past week, a delegation from Price met with representative businessmen of Helper and advised that Price had gone ahead with plans for the contest to be held in that city, that the plans could not be changed, and that Price would be able to finance the contest without the assistance cf Helper. Added emphasis was given this statement when it was learned that Price has dropped the title of "Price" band contest and now was calling it the Carbon county band con test lhe changing or this title permits the l'rice people to style the contest as a county affair and leaves them in a position to seek aid from the county commissioners.

This publication gives in tabulated form the entire bonded debt of the counties, cities and school districts in Utah. It shows that this bonded debt alone places a bond obligation of $5.37 on every $100 of assessable property and that if the bonded debt were equally distributed every individual would be required to bear a burden of $60.85, or $300 for the average family. The Salt Lake and Ogden bond' d of the en ed debt equals tire bond obligation. Provo and Logan come next. The following counties have no bond obligations: Box Elder, Davis, Morgan, Rich, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Wayne and Weber. The following school districts have been able to live within their current revenues: Davis, South Summit and Wayne. Out of the 142 cities and towns, 37 have resisted the temptation to bond, according to the publication. The paper contains an article appealing to the taxpayers to assist the legislators to resist the attempts of public officials, departments and institutions to continue the high level of expenditures. "The powers for economy must be more alert, more persistent and must outnumber the forces for extravgance if the present legislature is to accomplish its avowed purpose," is the editorial comment on the subject. one-thir- HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF FOODSTUFFS AND VALUABLE MERCHANDISE WILL BE GIVEN AWAY DURING THE COURSE OF EVENING TO MANY WHO ATTEND THE DANCE First 20 to Arrive Win a Special Prize OTHER PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED TO PATRONS AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS 'AS THEY ARRIVE A LARGE CROWD IS EXPECTED AS PLANS FOR THE EVENING ASSURE ALL A SPLENDID TIME With plans completed for the Helper chamber of commerce country store dance at Rainbow Gardens Saturday cve ning, February 4, all indications are that it will be one of the largest dance gatherings and most successful affairs of its kind in many a long day.

Facts and figures introduced at these meetings indicated that but one county in the state enjoyed a better financial status for its school dstrict, while other reports made showed clearly that many counties will be forced to cut their 1932-3- 3 school term to seven months, while the Carbon county school board believes it has devised ways and means of running for the full nine months. Those attending the two meetings from this district were County Superintendent of Schools W. W. Christensen; and members of the school board, O. H. Guymon, Albert Barnes, and Henry H. Jones.
