YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Forms For Making Returns
Forms for filing returns of in
• come for 1938 have been sent to
persons who filed returns last
year. Failure to receive a form,
however, does not relieve a tax
payer of his obligation to file his
return and pay the tax on time1—
on or before March 15 if the re
turn is made on the calendar
year basis, as is the case with
most individuals.
Forms may be obtained upon
request, written or personal,
from the offices of collectors of
internal revenue and deputy col
lectors. A person whose net in
come for 1938 was derived chief
ly from salary or wages and was
not in excess of $5,000 should
make his return on Form 1040 A.
A parson whose net income was
in excess of $5,000, or regardless
of amount, was derived from a
business, profession, rents, or
sale of property, is required to
use Form 1040. Failure to use the
proper forms present difficulties
. to both the taxpayer and the Bu
reau of Internal Revenue. There
fore, it is emphasized that a tax
payer who is liable for a return
and is engaged' in a business or
profession from which he deriv
ed a net income of less than
' . $5,000 is required to use Form
1040. •
The return must be filed with
the collector, of internal revenue
for the district in which the tax
payer has his legal residence or
principal place of business on or
before midnight of March 15,
1939. The tax may be paid in full
at the time of filing the return
o!r in four equal installments, due
on or before March 15, June 15,
September 15. and December 15.

Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a pluver and
a lode claim.
