Hight pag: 7H41S PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREléN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES MNEW YORK AND 'CHICAGO PTANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Collecting The Income Tax Some of the discussion of the new income tax law has tended to create the impression that its processes are compléx. On the contrary they are simple. A Boston attorney, writing in Rol- lin’s Magazine, sets forth the prin- ciples of the new law clearly, ag fol- lows: 1. That everyone with an in- come over three thousand ‘dollars shall pay one percent of the sur- plus over that figure to the fed- eral government. (Except that one exemption of a thousand dollars a busband and wife living togteher. 2. That so far as practicable|: the government will collect the|! of that in- come, partial person less likely to risk|; the penalties of evasion. | 8, That although each person’s | tax may be collected. from more than one source, it is the intention ||| of the act to levy but one tax to| twenty thoygand dollars. or less. i 4., That an additional tax at a graduated rate is imposed on in comes over twenty thousand dollars. The incomes from state and local bomds are not taxable. Salaries of state, city and certain federal of- ficers are exempt, In making his re- turn the taxpayer may deduct from hia wtal income necessary expenses actually paid out in carrying on any business, not including personal, living or family expenses; interest pald on indebtedness; taxes; unin- sured losses in trade or Dby fire, storm or shipwreck; claims charged |/ off as worthless; depreciation - of |1 property used in business; dividends on stock in -corporations themselves subject to the tax; and income tax- ed at the source. One point not yet settled is wheth- er everybody must make a returnm, regardless of his income. The géner- al impression seems to be that this will not be necessary. Everybody having an income of three thousand dollars or over, however, will have to make a return even if no tax is paid; and failure to receive a blank on which to make it does not re- lieve the taxpayer of his obligation. Penatlities for failure to make re- turns and for making false returns are severe, and of course it will be necessary to enforce them rigidly, else the law will become a farce.— Duluth Herald.
