DECLARE
(Continued from Page One.) agreed to by both houses much before the first of August, and there will be no adjournment of congress until the
tariff measure becomes a law. Farmers and the Tariff. "I have been greatly interested in reading the report of the joint congressional committee on agricultural inquiry, issued a few days ago," said an Indiana manufacturer. "It is most opportune, in my opinion, that a report of such official and unimpeachable character should be issued at a time when there is a tremendously financed and well organized campaign to persuade the farmer that his interests are dependent upon European markets, a"nd that he would lose these markets in the event American cus
toms outies were to be leviea on
American valuations instead of on for
eign valuations.
"In point of fact, as the joint committee's report shows, the American
farmer's interests and prosperity de
pend directly upon American markets
and the prices of his products vary acording to the degree of prosperity
which Americas industrial interests, with their millions of workmen, enjoy. This country is the greatest of wheat growing nations, and the American farmers' wheat makes white bread, and the American people are the only white bread users in the world." Facts Set Forth. In discussing the causes of the decline in prices of farm products, into which the report of the joint congressional committee goes exhaustively the following facts are set forth:
1. The decline in prices of agricul
tural products in the years 1920 and 1921 was not due to over production, as the crops of. those years were not
relatively greater in proportion to the
population of the United State3 than
they had been in many preceding years. 2. The period in decline in prices
i of certain dairy products, such as
butter, cheese, etc., coincided with' the period of the greatest imports of dairy products. 8. The prices of all kinds of farm products vary almost in direct ratio to the domestic consumption of those products. Domestic consumption, In turn, depends almost wholly and directly upon Industrial employment The report's conclusions regarding the price of wheat is quoted: "Perhaps the most notable fact shown ... is the tremendous drop In the price of wheat during 1920, notwithstanding an increase in exports. It seems probable that this drop can be attributed almost wholly to the fall
ing off of domestic consumption and the beginning and continuance of in
dustrial depression." Upon the subject of the price and consumption of beef the report says: "Consumption of beef bears a very close relation to urban employment or unemployment and declines rapidly in periods of industrial depression."
ONLY THREE INDIANA COUNTIES WITHOUT LIBRARY FACILITIES
(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2. Only three
of the 92 counties in Indiana are now without public libraries, according o
the annual report of the Indiana public library commission. In contrast there are 13 counties in -which every resident has library service available. Statistical tables prepared by William J. Hamilton, secretary of the commission, show that the total number of Indiana residents having local libraiy service available is 2.006,266 as compared with a total population for the state of 2,930,390, this leaving only 924,164 persons without library service. There are 207 cities and towns hav-
inz tax-suDnorted libraries and 14
other towns having association libra
ries. Mr. Hamilton's report also
shows. The 207 tax-supported libra
ries serve a town population of 1.602
009 and a -rural population of 394,851.
The association libraries serve a pop-
ulationrpf 9,306, thus bringing the number of residents having local li
brary service available up to 2,006,2bb. About 300 townships in the state co-
onerate in the local library service.
The 924,000 residents of the state with
out library service live in the other
700 townships. This is less than one-
third of the total state population bu more than two-thirds of the rural pop ulation.
REVENUE COLLECTOR ESTABLISHES OFFICE IN 1. 0. 0. F. BUILDING
George Matthews, Internal revenue collector for the city of Richmond, has established his office in the I. O. O. F. building, near the Main street en
trance, he announced Wednesday. For some time Mr. Matthews has been receiving income tax returns for the year 1921 at this office. .Mr. Matthews emphasized the fact
Thursday that income tax returns can
be made out by individuals and signed before any notary public or postmaster. Persons who are single must make a return if their income is $1,000 or over and if married must make a return if their income is $2,000 or over. Persons whose gross income, regardless of expenditures, amounted to $5,000 or over during the year 1921 must make a return, he said, and this holds true regardless of the amount of their net income.
If a husband and wife together have
a gross income of $3,000 or over they also must file returns.
The following statement is issued
by M. Bert Thumian, collector of internal revenue, district of Indiana:
The Revenue Act of 1921 contains two new and important provisions, which are the subject of frequent inquiry. The first relates to the personal exemptions allowed married persons.
and the second provision requiring that
rem ue maae or gross income or
?o,uoo or more. The act provides that a married per
son, living with husband or wife, whose net income for 1921 was $5,000 or less
snail be allowed a personal exemption of $2,500. If the net income of such person was over $5,000 the exemption is $2,000. Under the Revenue Act of 1918 the personal exemption allowed a married person was $2,000, regardless of the amount of n. income. The normal tax rate remafhs unchanged, 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. In order that an income slightly in
excess of $3,000 shall not be subjected' to an inordinately disproportionate tax because of the reduction of the exemption to $2,000 thereon, the law provides that such reduction shall not operate to Increase the tax, which would be payable if the exemption were $2,500, by more than the amount of the net income in excess of $3,000. Cite Example For example, on a net income of $5,010 the tax. without this saving clause, would be $120.40, which is 4 per cent on $3,010. the amount of net income less an exemption of J2.000.
The actual tax is $110.40, computed as follows: From the net income of $5,010
is aeauctea z,jw, leaving $2,510, the 4 per cent tax on which amounts to $100.40. To this is added $10, "the amount of net income in excess of $5,000. The personal exemptions allowed married persons, apply also to the head of a family, a person who supports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage or adoption. Heretofore a person whose net income was less than his exemption ($1,000 if single, or $2,000 is married), was not required to file a return. Under the Revenue Act of 1921 If the gross income of an individual equaled or exceeded $5,000, or if the combined gross income of a married couple and that of dependent minor children equaled or exceeded $3,000, a return must be filed, regardless of the amount of net income. "Net income" is gross income, less certain deductions. The fact that allowable deductions from gross income, for business expenses, losses, bad debts, etc., may reduce the net income to an amount below the personal exemption of $1,000 or $2,000, does not
alter the requirement to file a return of gross income, if such gross income equaled or exceeded $5,000.
