Tax Payment Methods Told |SIiN5 REVENUE By DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune.) WASHINGTON, June 3.—Treasury officials have ex- plained the method by which taxpayers would calcu- late their payments on June 15. Instead of permitting the taxpayer to take a 25 per cent reduction on his 1928 tax as he wishes by deducting the June payment, the plan provides for a scheme which DRIVING IT HOME Reading Between Lines in the Day's, News of Casper. Selection of Frank W. Mondell for permanent chairman of the nat- fonal Republican convention in Cleveland this month, is an honor for Wyoming, as well as an honor for Mr. Mondell. For nearly a generation this state kept him in congress where by statesmanship and skill he rose to the place of floor leader. Wyoming jmas pride in every upward step taken by Mr. Mondeil in the affairs of the nation, There were 15 cities in the coun- try having no motor fatalities dur. ing Apri! ,and Casper was one of them. A clean record like that is something to be proud of. It shows co-operation between pedestrians and motorist, If also shows that the Ud is down on moonshine which would make @ racing car out of a ‘perambulator. The thing to do here is to mark up the April record for every month in the year, Because she was Ao good at mak- ing tooth brushes, Soap, bath tubs, proper hours and diets popular with her pupils in West ‘Casper school, Miss Stella Nichols has been award. ed a $500 scholarship to any univer. sity she wishes to attend. Undoubte: the honor of being first and the scholarship prize mean Great deal to Miss Nichols, They should, for she put over a real job. But think of the rejoicing of par ents. And think of the benefit. to the children. Health, cleanliness and morality are three birds of a feather that flock together through life.
