2 z 4 spe Bert Be TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1919 U5, COLLECTOR WARNS AGAINST FAKE EXPERTS Few Have Had Training or Experi- ence in Income Tax Matters, Declares Mark A. Skinner, in Sounding “Warning A warning against “fake experts” on Income Tax has been sounded by the Internal Revenue Bureau, in a statement received by Collector Mark A. Skinner, from Commissioner Dan- iel C. Roper. “Business houses and _ individual taxpayers are being canvassed this year by numerous so-called “Income Tax experts,” who offer to use their magic wands of Income Tax wisdom to relieve the busy taxpayers from all worries about his tax responsibili- ties, “If 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 any- where near the expert class. “Some of them were formerly tem- porary employees of the government, who are attempting to capitalize this fact regardieas of their personal knowledge of the revenue laws and regulation. Others are soliciting cli- ents on the strength of diplomas as Income Tax experts obtained after taking long-distance courses by means of printed instructions of doubtful value. “Taxpayers should not allow them- selves to be imposed upon by stran- gers who claim to bp Income Tax ex- perts. They should discriminate care- fully between really helpful, authora- titive advice in tax matters and the irresponsible brand peddled under glittering pretenses. “The bureau is arranging to furn- ish 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 simi- lar responsible institutions have al- ways co-operated in furnishing av- thentic Income Tax information and have generally 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 possible to évery person and to make available in official form all necessary infor- mation regarding the requirements 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 indi- vidual that they are in a position to exert special influence with Internal Revenue officers is wholly withouy foundation in fact. Pains-taking and open-minded consideration is given in every case regardless of whether the taxpayer appears in person of by at- torney.

Day of the Geological Laboratory of the Carne- gie Institution. This gas is composed of chlorine, oxygen and carbon mon- oxide. It destroys the iron oxide which causes the red and brownish tints of sand, says the American Chemical Society. It adds that the United States has a/firm grip on the manufacture of phosgene gas with which this country was prepared to overwhelm the German armies. This has given the United States an op- portunity to’ manufacture optical glass which formerly was imported, and it is announced that all the 121 varieties of glass now can be pro- duced in this country with ease. eae tee Mr. and Mrs. G.

The Home Office of the Im- perial Government has established a Relief Works Committee to deal with the problems of unemployment due to the cessation of war-work. A firm policy is favored on the ground that freedom of holding meetings does not tend to lessen labor discontent, and that, in Japan, permission to organ- ize unions does not seem as promis- ing as the establishment of a Labor Arbitration Court. Meanwhile a radical and interest ing step has been taken by K. Matsu- kata, president of the Kawasaki Dock Co., of Kobe, who is distributing about $5,000,000 profits at the end of the year, has allotted three-fourths to his workmen and other employes as against one-fourth to the directars of the company. Mr. Matsukata is a graduate of Yale and the eldest son of Marquis Matsukata, one of the four remaining Genro statesmen of the em- pire. Japan’s one labor organization, the Yuaikai, has sent its president, Bunji Suzuki, to a labor congress in Europe. He is pledged to work for free im- migration of laborers, which his so- ciety regards as the one question of vital importance to Japan. The Yu- aikai has about 30,000 members and has. been promoted by the American Casper on a combined business and pleasure trip. ——————— Ransom Hunt of Shoshoni is num- bered among the business arrivals in Casper today.

INDIANA TRUCK ~ EXPERT HERE ON | BUSINESS VISIT H. G. Dustman, a factory expert of the Indiana Truck company is a busi- ness visitor in Casper from the fac- tory headquarters at Marion, Ind. He is here primarily for the purpose of conducting business but would be glad to discuss truck matters of any kind with local owners or prospective buyers. Mr. Dustman who will be hare about two weeks, is fully versed in truck construction and is capable of answering any questions pertaining to trucks of any make. He will make his headquarters here with the Indiana Transit company company which is local representative of the Indiana Truck company, at the office at 122 South David street. He will be pleased to meet all persons who are interested in trucks or have trucking problems to solve. The Indiana truck is making an enviable reputation in Wyoming, The trucks have been generally known thruout the country ever since 1898 but its exceptional ¢orth in sur- mounting the difficulties which beset Wyoming road travel has only been known for the past year, The busi- ness of the Indiana Transit com- pany the local representative has grown to such an extent thruout the state that it has been necessary to establish a branch at Lusk where ex- tensive operations are being carried out. GREEN RIVER HAS BUILDING BOOM, REPORT Green River claims more building activity than any other town of its size in the state due to the expendi- ture of a huge appropriation for Union Pacific improvements and the Liberty Potash company, and con- struction work on twenty business buildings and residences. Among other buildings in course of construction are the First National Bank building, which will cost ap- proximately $35,000; a new addition to the home of the Green River Mercantile company, costing about $20,000, and four modern dwelling houses being constructed by T. 8S. Taliaferro. The indications are that Green River is to take great strides i nthe immediate future as a busi- ness center. RARE BOOKS IN MINN. LIBRARY NEW York, Feb. 4. — Collectors of excessively rare books today flock- ed to an auction sale at which a first edition of Milton’s Comus, described as the greatest Milton volume ever offered is one of the attractions. The Comus is one of many rarities collected by Herschel V. Jones, pub- lisher of the Minneapolis Journal, who brought his wares to the New York market after many years spent in collecting first editions and original manuscripts from the ends of the earth. The Comus is the dedication copy, the dedication being to Viscount Brackly, Earl of Bridgewater. It was printed in 1637, and is said to have been in the Bridgewater family li- brary ever since, until that collection was purchased by an American last year. The Jones library contains many rare manuscripts. One of the most valuable of these is the manuscript of Boccaccio’s Noble Men and Women, done on vellum in 1462. There is al- so the original manuscript of the words and music of In the Spring, done by Mendelssohn, and signed by him. DISTRUST OF ALLIED INTENTIONS 15 SHOWN VLADIVOSTOK,— (By Mail.) — Distrust of the good intentions of the Allies in seeking control of the Trans- Siberian railway is voiced by the or- gan here of the Social Democrats. It 8a: ys: “The Allies have decided to im. prove our transportation system. They are taking the railways into their hands, the English as far ar Chita, the Japanese the Transbaikal railway and the Americans the line from Irkutsk to the front. We can- not tell what this friendly assistance is going to cost Russia. “The Allies are making agreements among themselves, we are out of the deal. As long as we continue our international carnage and amuse our- selves with ‘recognitions’ and ‘coup d’ etats’ of governments the Allies will be masters in our own house.” —_$_—__ PARTNER OF RHODES IN SOUTH AFRICA IS DEAD LONDON, (By Mail.)—The death fs announced of George Cawston, who with the late Cecil Rhodes, founded the British South Africa, or Charter- ed, Company. George Cawston had very wide views regarding the development of South Africa under the British flag but disagreed with some of the me- thods used to bring it about. His disapproval of policy which led up to the famous Jameson raid was so strong that he resigned from the board of the Chartered Company.
