Returns To Be Increased These rates probably will add two to three million persons to the total number filing returns, but may not materially raise the num- ber paying taxes or the amount of the taxes since incomes, both cor- s poration and individual, have de- clined considerably. If you fall in any of the three following classes you must file a return, although exemptions and deductions may save you from pay- ing a tax. 1. All single persons having a net income of $1,000 or over. 2. All married persons hav- | ing a net income of $2,- 500 or more. All persons and business- es having a gross income of 85000 or more, re- gardless of net income. Net income is income after de- duction of expenses necessary for running a business, such as cost of goods, salaries paid 6ut, office expenses and so on. Gross in- {come is income before these ex- penses. Wage and salary receiv- |ers generally have no such ex- |penses so that the salary or wage is net income. A traveling man, however, who paid his own expenses and was not reimbursed for them by his company might deduct them from his salary to calculate his net in- come. Many Claiming Exemptions Never before, tax officials say, © take advantage of every possible exemption, looking for deductions that would have been passed over hurriedly not so long ago as in- consequental. For the purpdse of indicating pos- |sible exemptions and deductions, |consider for example,-a single man |receiving a net Incdme of $1,500 {and a married man receiving $3,- |000.

Nothing less than one-mile in duration is registered by them, and this renders it impossible to fix any official maximum. Razes Thane Light The highest recorded for one mile was 36 miles miles per hour, Mr. Mize said. There were gusts, however, he added that were un- doubtedly much higher. This is attested to by the fact that sometime early this morning, ine’s March 15—and there's a pen- $500.

Suppose however that |neither of the income receivers in this example had dependents. They would then have a taxable in- ,come of $500. This may be re- 'duced by other deductions. | The taxpayer, for example, gives' ,to his church perhaps a dollar a iweek. or a deduction of about $50 leaving $450 taxable income. Other deductions include amuse- ment taxes, electric power taxes,! (in fact all such federal taxes) ‘which are paid by the consumer and not by the manufacturer. - Cigaret taxes are not deducti- ble.
