In the month of January alone, the Hoofed Animal Humane society,, the only humane society in the state devoted to horses, has handled about 50 calls and has saved approximately 30 horses from freezing and starvation The Northern Illinois Hoofed Animal Humane society works closely with local and state police and sheriff's offices, and with county veterinarians and animal wardens, as in McHenry county with Dr J.V Johnson, county veterinarian and public health officer With his help they have uncovered some truly shocking cases of neglect In one extreme case a dead horse was discovered, along with two suffering from the last stages of malnutrition. The two starving horses were immediaely given the best possible veterinarian attention, but even with round-the-clock care, one of the horses died three days after being found In another case with a happier ending, two ponies were found tied head to tail and then tied to a stake. The ponies had become completely ent­ wined in the ropes and were unable to move They were without food, water or shelter, and had been in this condition for some time. These ponies are now in custody of the Humane society, and good homes will be found for them. Horse owners boarding their horses at farms and stables should check into the condition of their animals from time to time. Seven horses being boarded at one farm were being starved and cruelly kept. Each horse was totally emaciated, and individually tied to fence posts, water pipes, etc., without food, water or shelter. With Humane society intervention, these horses were voluntarily stabled elsewhere until con­ ditions on the farm could be improved. Illinois state humane law for horses is very explicit in the care horses must receive. Sections 50 and 50.1, recently amended, carry a maximum "What's In a Name" -- And How To Legally Go About Changing It Every year across the country thousands of people decide to foresake the names of their ancestors for a surname which is more readily pronounceable or, at least, less commonly misspelled than the one they've struggled with the first portion of their lives. On an average day, Cook county, Illinois, alone receives 8-10 requests for name changes. Most commonly, a person decides to abbreviate his name, to make it easier to pronounce, rather than discarding it en­ tirely. "People usually wish to retain a link with their heritage," points out the county clerk's office, "so the change is a simplification rather than a complete break." fine of $500 to $1,000, and possible jail sentences. The law requires that horses be properly fed, watered and sheltered. Shelter is in­ terpreted by the State Department of Agriculture to be at the very least, a three- sided structure. Horses cannot be overworked, cruelly beaten, tormented, or cruelly killed. It is illegal to work, or to offer for sale, a horse that is lame, old, maimed, infirm or otherwise unsuitable for work. It is illegal to allow someone else to ride your horse, as for hire, if the horse is lame, debilitated or otherwise unsuited for work. Horses cannot be kept in a cruel manner, and it is illegal to knowingly allow someone else to keep your horse in any manner that violates state humane laws. With strong laws to back them up, the Northern Illinois Hoofed Animal Humane society only needs the cooperation of good citizens in reporting neglected animals. All com­ plaints are handled in strictest confidence. Sources pf in­ formation are never revealed, and if complaints must be signed, they are signed by Hoofed Animal Humane society investigative officers. When neglected horses become wards of the Humane society, good homes are sought for them. Report neglected horses to Mrs. James Ewing, 138 E.

The person desiring the change must be a resident of the state for 6 months before he files a petition in the circuit court of the county in which he lives. The petition merely lists his present name, the name he wishes to assume, the time he has lived in Illinois, the state or country of his birth and his signature. Verification of the petition must be made by the affidavit of some credible person. The court may then decide whether or not to grant the change. The petitioner may include his spouse and his adult unmarried children (with their consent) and any minor children in his request. However, the change does not affect any other family member who happens to have the same name. In addition, the petitioner is required by law to give notice of his change of name in a local newspaper for three con­ secutive weeks. Under Illinois law, an op­ tional name change is available to the wife in divorce cases. Upon request, the court may allow her to resume her maiden name or the name of any for­ mer husband. Illinois citizens who wish to keep business and pleasure separate and conduct their Income Tax: A Little Planning Now Will Ease The Pain In 1973 By this time most of us have already broken our well- meaning New Year's resolutions, so here is a chance to start afresh with a resolve that is almost certain to keep more of those shrinking dollars in your pocket. "RESOLVED: I will begin planning now for my income taxes due next year (April 15, 1973) and will be careful to keep receipts on any expenditures that might conceivably be deductible, and a record of income from any source." If you failed to keep adequate records last year it is probably too late now to compile them for your income taxes due this April. The result, the Illinois State Bar association points out, is that hundreds of thousands of Illinois taxpayers likely will either pay more taxes than necessary or will unwittingly file erroneous federal and state income tax returns. Either is costly. Most taxpayers with incomes in the upper tax brackets long ago learned the need for careful tax-planning and the value of using professional tax counsel. Unfortunately, ISBA notes, many taxpayers in the under $10,000 tax brackets -- the ones least able to pay unnecessary taxes - are the ones most likely to neglect tax-planning. To help you keep the above New Year's resolution, the ISBA has compiled a list of suggestions that may save unnecessary taxes and cer­ tainly will save wasted time laboring over state and federal tax forms, regardless of your tax bracket: 1. Keep records of all ex­ penses, even if you're not certain they're deductibles. (Let a tax expert determine this.) Your state income tax, incidentally, is a deductible item on your federal income tax return if you itemize your deductions. However, the federal tax is not deductible on your Illinois tax return. 2. Record and report all in­ come. This includes bonuses, savings, interest, dividends, and odd-job income from which there may have been no tax- withholding deductions. Even seemingly small income items must be reported and can (The governor discusses lax problems in the following special column.) By Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie Springfield. III. -- Like a hone s tuck in the throa t , the personal proper ty tax s t i l l p lagues us no mat ter how hard we t ry to d is ­ lodge i t . That ' s why I took the very un­ usual ac t ion of f i l ing recent ly be­ fore the Uni ted Sla tes Supreme Cour t . Legal ly , the t remendous vote of the people agains t th is tax on in­ d iv iduals in November . 1970. i s o f no ef fec t i f the I l l inois Supreme Cour t i s r ight . The s ta te cour t ru led tha t corpo­ ra t ions were not exempted by tha t vote and therefore the referendum was inval id under the U n i t e d Sta les cons t i tu t ion . At issue is whether different t r e a t m e n t c a n b e g i v e n t o corporations, as fictitious in­ dividuals, than is given to ordinary persons. The br ief 1 f i led in suppor t of At torney Genera l Wil l iam J . Scot t a rgues in pol i te lega l language tha t t h e s t a t e c o u r t ' s d e c i s i o n i s "e r roneous ." ' There is a grea t dea l of law on t h e s i d e o f t h e p e o p l e i n t h i s mat ter , and my appeal tha t the h igh cour t hear the case ci tes per t inent cases . I wasn't quite so polite when I publicly called the tax absurd. I t is absurd in many ways , and of course i t i s more than tha t -- it cannot be enforced equal ly and sens ib ly . In the absurd ve in must come t h e prac t ice of ins t ruc t ing tax­ payers to l i s t on ly a f rac t ion of the i r ac tua l hold ings . In one area , for example , they are to ld to put down 6 per cent of money they have in the bank. Why 6 per cent? Why not a l l o r none or 7 per cent? "We sat down with the bankers," tbe county assessor said when he was asked the question, "and we figured this was an amount people would pay." Not necessar i ly . The f l ight of hundreds of mi l l ions in cash f rom I l l inois banks before the repor t ing da te of Apr i l I each year adds the e lement of tax avoidance to the a l ready shaky ground of repor t ing only 6 per cent . But the 6 per cent doesn t s top ihere -- i t ' s mul t ip l ied by the so- ca l led equal iza t ion fac tor , and thus may become 9 per cent of what the taxpayer rea l ly has in th : bank. So he pa \s a tax on $9 . for ex­ ample . when he rea l ly has $100. And perh; ips the grea tes t rub in (h is i s tha t he is supposed to sub­ mi t these f ic t ional f igures even though there is no prac t ica l way a tax assessor could d iscover the t rue f igures independent ly . Does all this make >ou dizzy? Or maybe just mad? I am jus t gra tefu l tha t the ex­ empt ion of one household of furn i ture and one automobi le i s s t i l l a l lowed. But tha t does no th ing for farmers who -- bel ieve me -- are hopping mad because they aro car ry ing such a heavy tax load a t a t ime when farm revenues a re s inking in compar ison wi th o ther occupat ions . In my proposal to the Genera l Assembly to exempt goods and proper t ies ac tua l ly used in fa rm­ ing. I a l so urged the rcenaclmcnl of the one car - one household of furn i ture exempt ion . This would help insure that it, too, won't be overturned by a judicial interpretation of applicable sections of the state's, new constitution. I can ' t predic t the outcome of the appeal to the Uni ted Sta tes Supreme Cour t--I doubt tha t any­ one can make tha t c la im. There are a l l k inds of precedents drawing sharp tax d is t inc t ions be­ tween corpora t ions and indiv iduals , but cour ts need not necessar i ly fo l low the precedents of the pas t . Let's just say I am hopeful, and I haven't the slightest in­ tention of quitting the fight against the personal property tax until the people's voice is heard and followed. Ihere are . for example , sound legal reasons why my proposal to e x e m p t t h e f a r m p r o p e r t y o f fa rmers is lega l . There are o ther reasons , too . tha t may not sway the cour ts but tha t a re nonethe less impor tant . I can ' t imagine any o ther bus i ­ ness where 40 per cent of gross income goes for proper ly taxes -- real and personal . Our figures indicate that Illinois farmers may bear the heaviest such load in the na­ tion, and certainly in the Mid­ west. Most of us . got a rea l break when the one car - one household exempt ion was a l lowed. I t ' s t ime to g ive a break to the fami l ies tha t have made I l l inois the leading farm expor ter in the na t ion . J No sys tem of taxa t ion is en­ forceable or to lerable Unless people accept i t a s fa i r -- dis t r ibut ing ihe burden equi tably ;« id s t ra ight - forw ard ly . Ihe personal proper ty tax fa i l s on both counts . appreciably affect your tax liability. 3. Be a pack rat when it comes to saving receipts, vouchers, cancelled checks. In Illinois it is advisable that such items be saved for 10 years, the point at which the statute of limitations expires for written contracts. You may be asked to produce those records for tax purposes, so have them easily accessible and in order. 4. Record medical expenses and contributions. Even though they aren't deductible for state income tax unless considered a business expense, they may be itemized on the federal income tax return. 5. Speaking of contributions, individuals in the 20 percent tax bracket shouldn't give to just any charity on the theory that there are big tax advantages in such donations; the deduction just doesn't pay off that much to taxpayers in low tax brackets. Give instead to those causes you believe in. 6. Keep records on future income producers - including corporate stock purchases and any significant improvements to your home, such as a room addition. These items may someday become reportable on your income tax return as a capital gain, and you will need records of original cost, the cost of improvements, and so on. 7. Rely on authorities. If you have a question, check with the Internal Revenue Service, not a well-meaning friend. Or else, hire a qualified tax prac­ titioner. Also, use only those forms and schedules authorized by the IRS and the Illinois Department of Revenue. 8. Start now to organize tax records. The longer a taxpayer waits to organize his tax af­ fairs, the more likely he is to overlook deductions to which he's entitled or otherwise fail to include in his calculations all the tax-saving measures that are available to him. Good record keeping makes tax audits much easier for both the taxpayer and the tax auditor, and in the long run less ex­ pensive as well.

Tom says he still makes only a "C" grade though he reads his chapter assignments twice before each exam. But he soon zoomed his grades to a "B" by using the "active" vs. the "passive" methods of learning, plus the objective quiz formats listed below. So send for that booklet and raise you own school marks quickly! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE J-545: Tom T., aged 16, is worried. "Dr. Crane," he began, "I must be a slow learner! "For I read the chapters assigned in my classes but still make poor grades when the teachers give us an exam. "So how can I speed up my learning ability?" HOW TO STUDY First, do a quick skimming of the entire chapter, just to get a bird's-eye view of its total coverage. Slowly turn the pages and note the sectional headings. Glance at any illustrations, too, and gain this "frame" around the "picture." You can cover the entire chapter in less than 5 minutes with this quick once-over. Next, start reading for factual data, such as definitions, tabulations of various laws, in the usual 1, 2, 3 manner. But you need to wake yourself up and indulge in "active" vs. "passive" reading, so make a true-false or 4-answer quiz as you peruse the pages. In passive reading, you merely read the printed words without any active attempt to use your hands or recite the data you have. seen. Such material then does not register in your memory very well. But active learning, via dissecting the pages for meaty factual statements, will in­ crease your retention maybe 50 percent to 100 percent. Suppose you are studying "Applied Psychology and using my college text­ book. Here's the way to make your own exam thereon: T F (1) The leading psychologist of the Middle Ages was Aristotle. (P.5) T F (2) The author lists 4 degrees of memory. (P.77) T F (3) The 3rd degree in­ cludes "brainwashing." (P. 78) When you compile your own true-false quiz, list the page where each question is discussed in your textbook. And to insure that you don't glibly memorize just the total number of laws in a lengthy tabulation, insert a statement like No. 3, to be sure you have memorized the total list. For variation, you can construct the "multiple choice" or 4-answer exam, as follows: (1) The author lists how many basic hungers in marriage9 (P. 597) Two Three Five Seven (2) As per the Dunn Survey, every federal office holder controls how many votes for the party in power? (P 669) One Two Three Four If you construct 25 to 50 of these objective quiz statements on each chapter, you will outguess your professor maybe 75 percent to 90 percent of the time when he gives you his own quiz. Of the 1,250 college professors who have used my psychology textbook, the great majority give their students an advance quiz over each new chapter, plus a mid-term exam and then a lengthy final examination. After each weekly quiz, hasten home and write down all the professor's quiz items that you can remember, for he may use them again on that final exam. And save your own chapter exams for a quick review at the end of the term, for you can then review the entire textbook within an hour. Send for my booklet "How to Improve Memory and Study Efficiently," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. Go from a "C" to an "A". (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en­ closing a long stamped, ad­ dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
