THIS TELLS HOW TO FIGURE INCOME TAX

Squarely Up to Every Individual to Get Busy by March 15 or Suffer Penalty. , .. * ” “Don't wait until the final doe date, March 15, for paying your Income Tax and making your return. Avoid the last minute rush. Any person can figure out his liability today as well as he can nexf week, and If there Is any point on which he needs advice he can now get in touch with a Revenue man." This word of advice is being given out by Internal Revenue men. Returns and payments are being collected In Indiana by the following Collectors of Internal Revenue: Peter J. Kruyer. 3 Isaac It. Strouse. Every aid of their offices and field forces is being given freely to the public. But the Income Tax men will not pull your door bell or your coat-tails, according to the Collector's announcement. It is squarely up to every individual to figure out his own case and to get busy if he comes within the scopo of the new Revenue law. Did You Earn This Much? Every unmarried person who received income averaging $19.25 a week during 1918 and every married couple who jointly received income averaging $38.50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A. That form contains the information he will need to enable him to figure his correct net Income and any tax that he owes the government. The law requires that every unmarried person who had a net income of SI,OOO or over and every married person whose net income was $2,000 or over (including the income of husband or wife and the earnings of minor children, if any) must make a return On or before March 15th. And this requirement does not hinge on whether the person owes a tax.

Taxable Income. An Individual must Include under gross income all gains, profits and income derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of whatever kind and in whatever form paid oj from professions, vocations, business, sales or dealings in property of all kinds, Interest, rent, dividends or profits derived from any source whatever. Very few Items of income are exempt. Deductions include ordinary and necessary business expenses, interest paid or accrued on indebtedness, taxes of all kinds except Federal income and excess profits taxes and assessments for local benefits, losses actually sustained! debts ascertained to be worthless and depreciation on buildings, machinery, fixtures, etc., used in business. A further deduction is allowed for contributions to corporations operated for religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals to an amount not exceeding 15 per cent of the taxpayer’s net income as computed without the benefit of the contribution deduction. The taxpayer is not allowed to deduct any personal, living or family expense, any amount spent top Improving property or any expense of restoring property or making goo<L its exhaustion for which an allowance Is claimed under depreciation. Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the dividends are deducted as credits from net Income, together with the personal exemption. As in previous years, dividends of domestic corporations are exempt from normal tax when received by the stockholder. . ■> The normal tax rates for citizens and 'residents are as follows; On the first,js4j)oo of net Income In excess of the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on any further taxable Income the rate is 12 per cent. The surtax rates apply to net income of each individual in excess of $5,000. The personal exemption and the dividends are not deductible before computing surtax. In the case of returns by husband and wife, the net income of each is considered separately In computing any surtax that may be due. Form 1040 should be used for making returns of net income exceeding $5,000, and the instructions on that form will show how to figure the surtax. Business House Returns. Employers and others who paid wages, salaries, rents, interest or similar determinable gains in an amount of SI,OOO or over during 1918 to any person must file an Information return with the Government. Blanks may be secured from the Collector. Every partnership must file a return showing its income and deductions and the name and address of each partner, with his share of the profits or losses during the past year. Personal service corporations will file similar Information for 1918.

INCOME TAX PAYS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS.

“Viewed In Its largest and truest sense, the payment of taxes is payment for benefits received or “expected. Only from a narrow and essentially selfish and shortsighted viewpoint can the individual propose to himself the evasion of tax liability as a desirable course of action.” — Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

TAKES CAMEL’S PLACE

Jerusalem Is Modernized by Motortruck. Beasts of Burden Are Smothered In Dust of Speeding Auto* mobiles. Jerusalem. —The life of two periods, distant by many centuries, seems to flow along the roads that lead to this ancient city. The camel, though he has done great things for the British forces, is losing his position as the main means of transport, and the natives driving their camels carrying'huge packs of Eastern merchandise are passed by the big engines of the evergrowing British broad-gauge railway, at which the country people stare with openmouthed astonishment Then along will come an Assyrian or an Arab on his donkey or mule, his wife walking behind and carrying a great pack on her head. In this way they transport much stuff for many miles. Now they are smothered In dust from the great quantity of motor transport on the roads. The five barley loaves and small fishes still have to feed a good many people in this country, and women may still be seen grinding their scanty cup of corn between stones, but now with the introduction of good seed the country already is showing signs of vast improvement. Cotton is still made up into rough material in a primitive method on a kind of bow. With the new opportunities now opening up the old spinner is likely to be looking for another Job. Already in quite small towns you will see names of well-known London firms. This has aroused the local shops to .a kind of competition,, and all kinds of important signs over small shops, with hardly anything to sell, announce: “The Provisions,” “The Up-to-date Hosiery and Dry Goods Store,” “The Manchester House,” and many similar. It is doubtful if 5 per cent of the prospective customers can read the signs. Shepherds on the hills still tend their flocks, dressed in camel hair, and nightly light their camp fires to keep off the prowling jackals and hyenas. But in the future much of this rich land, now practically barren, is likely to receive the attention of the steam tractor. Altogether, with the present means of transport by rail, the great improvement in the water supply and the rapid introduction of European methods and customs, it may be hoped a year or two of peace will change this country Into a real “land of milk and honey.” The press of Oxford university has type for printing in 150 languages.

FLAX DISTRICT IS RUINED

Belgian City Taken by Germans Shorn of Barges and Precious Machinery. Washington.—Before the war Courtral was a center for the production of flax of European importance, and the city harbored for this purpose a large English and Irish colony. Now the whole flax district is ruined. The large barges in which the flax was put to rot in the Lys were sold by the Germans as firewood much below their value. * The copper from the flax mills and the other preclons machines were requisitioned. The soldiers were quartered In the factories and the celebrated “Lelcweerschen,” the plains on which the flax was bleached, were plowed and planted with tobacco and potatoes. Many, Indeed, of the fertile flax fields were turned over several times and many served as battlefields. It will 6e years before the fields bear flax again.
