(Special to The Times.) Washington, Oct. 3. It now behooves all those with an income of more than $3,000 a year to lay a hand upon a furrowed' brow and try to find out how they are going to pay the Income tax to the Government and what will hap
pen to them if they do not. I
The matter has been hanging fire for
a long time, but now that the conference committee of the Senate and
House has reached the Income tax feat- ' ure of the tariff bill In Its final form it will rest with everybody having more than the $3,000 limit to master the details'. Exteat of the Law. In the first place the law about to go into effect includes within Its scope all citizens of the United States residing at home or abroad, all persons living in the United States, though not citizens thereof, and all net incomes from property and business owned or carried on in the United States by aliens. In every case a deduction of $3,000 is allowed for living expenses. In the
case of a husband who is living with his wife or a w-lfe who is living wth
her husband an addtlonal $1,000 exemp
tion is allowed, so that all told a married person is entitled to an exemption of $4,000. Only one $4,000 deduction, however, is to be allowed from the aggregate income of both husband and wife. The income tax law will go Into effect as soon as it is signed, and under ordinary circumstances, incomes are to be computed for the calendar year. In

Morrocco, a veteran enemy of Hammond in football, is to bring its beef, brawn, speed, brains, colors and rooters to Harrison park Saturday after
noon to test the purple and white. It
will be a "battle royal. For the last two years the Ham
mond team has played the Morocco bunch only to be trampled down in de
feat. This year, with one of the grandest teams in the history of the school, the Hammond warriors expect to turn
the tables on the foe.
They will go into the game Saturday

shall be better by far than anything the boys from the south will have to
offer. It will be a contest second in
importance -to. South Bend only and judging by the intense feeling on both
sides, it ought to go down In local football, history as one of the greatest
battles ever seen here. All this week the boys have been hard at work practicing for tomorrow's game. In the afternoons there has been scrimmage, signal drills, punting, forward passing, tackling and a host of other parents of the football art. With a strong second team on the field each evening, they have been forced to fight
and fight hard. On the majority of
school building where there has been
rule quizzes and play rehearsing and oh Saturday the Hammond warriors ought to show the results of such work as this.

What Good Republicans
Told Crumpacker at Meeting Wednesday.
JtnxSE REIT ER-We -. know it
means a. sacrifice to you of your business time- and energy. Since the last legislature has given the judges permission to contribute a little, nothing will give me greater pleasure than to add mine.
DR. SHARKER Hammond has
reached that stage in development where it needs a big man like Peter Crumpacker. I am willing to push and dig both, for I am mightily for the whole ticket.
Wr. J. M'ALEER I am elated to
think that Hammond has a man of Crumpacker's ability who is willing to make a sacrifice for the good of the whole town. If I were assured of the office with a salary of $10,000 a year I would refuse It. W. F. BRIDGE We have a good ticket. With a hard fight we can win. Crumpacker wrould make the best mayor Hammond ever had. DR. J. A.. GRAHAM I am not a politician, but I blieve I am a good judge of a good candidate. I'll be there, both hands in my pockets and both hands in the
air. "CHARLEY" HE1MBACH We have the best ticket that has been in Hammond for a long, long time. I'll devote all the time I can to It. GEORGE EDER The entire ticket has my hearty support, and personally I shall be glad to aid it financially. WILLIAM TIMM The ticket may be sure of a majority of votes in Robertsdale. BERT ESCHER Three tickets means a hard fight. I shall have plenty of time to help do the work, and I am also ready1 to make a pleasing donation. "BEN" BELL There are many more like me who voted for Roosevelt and Beveridge last year, but who are ready to support this entire ticket. H. E. GRANGER I am willing to devote all possible time for the success of this ticket, for. It is representative of all classes. WILLIAM HERKNER If you stick, Mr. Crumpacker, I'll stick with you to the finish. WILLIAM NEWMAN The spirit shown here tonight makes our chances look good. I'll be glad to work and donate, both. TOM SWANTON Crumpacker has been my choice at all times. JACOB APOLL I voted for Roosevelt, but somehow I can't get away, from . the old party. I am with you.
