PAY INCOML TAX HERE ~,

FIGHTING SPIRIT of oe RR fronts today reached the long lines of civilians who paid their income tax. A couple thousand Hoosiers went to the third floor of the Federal Building, gave their cash to Uncle Sam and proudly announced they were glad to take that means of supplying the Army and the Navy with guns and ammunition and tanks and airplanes to whip the Japs, the Nazis and their satellites in the Axis.

” 2 ONE MAN. the father of five children. filled out his return and expressed disappointment when those five dependents gave him $2000 in exemptions, deprived him of the privilege of paying a tax. “I want to pay something, anywav,” he pleaded. “We'll have to find out if that would be legal,” a Treasury employee said. Will H. Smith, Collector of Ine ternal Revenue, was consulted. “I am afraid you can't pay any income tax,” Mr. Smith said. “I suggest that you buy defense bonds and stamps.” “My family is already doing that,” said the father of five. “Why can't I make a contribution to the Government?”

Mr. Smith finally accepted $10 as a gift for the Treasury of the United States. = = 8 MISS TREVA BERRY, 227 W. 42d St, a graduate of Purdue,

class of 1940, put in her first full year on her job at the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. during 1041, “I am glad to give some of the money to the Government,” she deciared. Ray E. Fisher, a machinist in the Beech Grove locomotive shops of the New York Central, took a day off to come up from Boggstown, to pay his first Federal income tax. Clad in overalls, he stepped proudly to the cashier's cage, gave a part of his 1941 income to Uncle Sam. It made him feel that he and his wife and three children were in a class with the Rockefellers, the Morgans and the Fords when they put money into the Federal Treasuy. Mrs. Herman Exner, 2017 E. 46th St, the mother of two children, made out her husband’s return while he carried on with his job as plumber. She took the return home for him to sign before a notary, and she seemed as happy about the whole proceeding

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES _. Taxes to Help Smash Axis

as the young men who, one floor above were signing up for the Navy, » o 2 MR. SMITH reported that most of the persons who file returns this year are paying an income tax. Last year many who filed returns were exempt from the tax. The tax base has been lowered to $750 for single persons, $1500 for those who are married. Last vear, when the tax base was $800 for the single and $2000 for the married, 366,000 individuals, cou=ples and firms in Indiana filed income tax returns. “We anticipate 625,000 returns this year,” Mr. Smith said. “This figure becomes significant when vou realize that for the first time the taxable returns are far in excess of the non-taxable.” All Federal taxes collected in Indiana in the calendar year 1941 —liquor taxes, estate taxes, social security taxes, and all other forms of internal revenue—totaled $220,103,630. Income taxes, paid by both corporations and individ uals, brought in less than a third of that total. “This year it wouldn't surprise me to see Hoosiers pay a billion dollars in Federal taxes from all sources,” Mr. Smith predicted.
