A new and important provision of the revenue act of 1921 is that every per- son whose gross income for 1921 was $5,000 or over shall file a return, re- gardiess of the amount of net income upon which the tax is assessed. Ite- turns are required of every single per son whose net income was $1,000 or over and every married person living with husband or wife whose net in- come was $2,000 or over. Widows and widowers and persons separated or «i- vorced froin husband or wife, are re- garded as single persons. Net income is gross income, less cer- tain deductions for business expenses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross income in- clude practically all income received by the taxpayer during the year; in the case of wage earners, salaries, wages, bonuses aud commissions; in the case of professional men, all amounts received for professional serv- ices; in the case of farmers all profits from the sale of farm products, : ¢ rental or sale of land.

LONDON, Deo. 27. — Premiers In the making of an income tax re- turn for the year 1921, every taxpayer shall present to himself the following questions: ‘What were your profits from you. business, trade, profession or voca tion? Did you receive any interest on bank Geposits? Have you any property from which you received rent? Did you receive any income in the form of dividends or interest from stocks or bonds? Did you receive any bonuses during the year? Did you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds or other property, veal or personal? Did you act as a broker in any trans- action from which you received com- missions? Are you interested in any partner- ship or other firm from which you re- ceived any income? Haye you any income from royalties or patents? Haye you any minor children who are working? Do you appropriate, or have the right to appropriate, the earnings of such children? If so,the amount must be included in the return of income. Has your wife any income from any source whatsoever? If so it must be included in your return or reported in @ separate return of inc Did you received an: or trustees’ fees in t year? Do you hold any office in a benefit society from which you recetve in- come? Answers to all of these questions are necessary to determine whether a person has an income sufficiently large to require that a return be filed, and may be the means of avoiding the heavy penalities imposed for failure to do so within the time prescribed.* Seapets ei THREE LEAGUE HEAD PROPOSES SCHEME TO SETTLE DRAFT DISPUTE CHICAGO, Dec. —A_ scheme which Al Tearney of the Western and Three-I league hopes may settle the Graft question disturbing the base- ball leagues has been presented by Tearney to Commissioner Landis, it was announced today.

Em. ery, her second husband, and Mrs. Jennie S. Chase, her mother. Conspiracy to frighten Albert T. Smith into paying $37,500 as alimony to his wife, Agnes L. Smith, and aban- donment of prosedution against Smith after the money was paid, also are charged. In this connection, the attorney general alleges that one-half the $37,500 alimony was claimed by Coakley as a contingent fee. ‘When these charges were first filed, Pelletier asserted that Mr. Allen had acted to discredit his candidacy for mayor, which was planning to make public the next day. Pelletier with- drew from the mayoralty race on De- cember .2. On November 23, Pelletier attacked @s unconstitutional the statute under which the original proceedings were brought, contending that inasmuch as he had been elected to office he was removable only through impeachment roceedings. He said the law giving @ majority of supreme court justices the power to remove a district attor- ney after a hearing conflicted with the Fourteenth amendment to the federal consfitution. He petitioned the court for a writ of prohibition restraining further action on the ortginal infor- Two days later Justice De Courcy ruled that the court was with- out jurisdiction to issue such a writ and dismissed the petition. Pelletier has been district attorney of Suffolk county since November, 1909. He filled out the unexpired term of the late John B.
