Paul to all persons in the state who must pay their income tax. Pay- ments may be made, it is explained, either direct to the St. Paul office or to the nearest internal revenue office. They must be completed by July 1 or penalties will attach. Statements showing the amount of income are submitted by taxpayers during the early months of the year until March 31, when a penalty is assessed against belated statements. These statements are used on the basis of the tax, except in cases where in- ternal revenue officers believe they are not correct, when investigation is made. B ——— Under a new policy notices have been sent to heads of all state depart- ments, and superintendents of state institutions, by J. ‘A. O. Preus, state auditor, informing them that unex- pended balances in department funds must be turned in to the general fund of the state August 1, at the end of the fiscal year unless special reasons are shown for other action. Mr. Preus says the total of such un- expended balances would be about $125,000. Of this sum the state railway and warehouse commission has accumulated about $38,000 in the course of several years and the state dairy and food commission about $19,000. Departments, boards or institution heads desiring to retain their unexpended balances will be re- quired to make formal application be- fore August 1, to a special state board consisting of the governor, state treasurer and attorney general, which may grant or refuse the same. Continuing An Education. ‘“‘Graduates from school and col- lege have always said a good deal about continuing education after they go to work,” says the Daily Vir- 5 ginian. “As a matter of fact few of them. do so. They settle into habits of desultory reading, largely of magazines and novels. “The recent growth of summer school and home courses of univer- sity education, however, is encourag- ing a vast number of young people to keep at it. Columbia university in announcing its summer. schools for 1915, notes that last year 5,590 students took these extra courses. And that is only onme - institution among score sthat are doing this work. “Most active young people Wwho have as yet no family ought-to ex- pect to take some additional courses of study after their regular education has been completed. Such work can always be done at home . .by corres- pondence. It would usually be so different from their daily tasks that it would be no added mental strain. It is simply a question whether they wish to give up time from amuse- ments and sports for the broader equipment.” KKK PR KK KKK KA KKK * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS: * KKK KKKK KK KA K _The jury:system would-be all right if the best. men: were-selected as:jury-| men—and it might help to have a. law- that no man;should: be selected: oftener than once in ten years -for| jury - duty..

Of course that is merely a speculative guess and since one guess is as good as another we venture the guess that in all probability Mr. Roosevelt will not be in the field at all, for the reason that our national affairs are not likely to be in shape to permit a on purely local issues. It is possible that conditions may change, but at present Mr, Roosevelt’s chances for the presidency are not very encour- aging.—St. Peter Free Press. NATIONAL CHILD LABOR CONFERENCE San Francisco, May 29.—Scoring the belated action of the lawmakers in southern states regarding child labor laws and branding the mills of the south as costing too high a toil of human life, Wiley H. Swift, sec- retary of the Natural Child Labor committee in North and South Caro- lina, today delivered a stirring ad- dress on the need of legislative guards against child workers. “When I consider what remains to be done for the protection of the childpen: in North and South Caro- lina I am forced to conclude that up to the present we have net'progressed very far,” declared Mr. Swift. “North and. South Carolina have a larger per cent of child workers in the manufacturing industry than any other state in the country.
