b TAX LAW
An Explanation Showing How 1t
Will Work Out In Practice.

The Assessment under the law will
be made between now and April lst
The tax will be payable at the time
other taxes are paid next December or
January.
The first step in the administration
of the law is the securing by the AS
SCISSOR Of Incomes the names of all per-
sons in the district who are likely to
come under the law. In short time
blanks will be mailed to those persons.
The fact that you are not notified or do
not receive blank does not relieve
you however from making returns if
you are subject to the tax. You will
fill out those blanks answering every
question and return same to the Asses
sor of Income. AS there is a penalty
of $500 on the Assessor for each ques-
ton left unanswered which he cannot
account for, you will see how necessary
it is that every question be answered.
The statement must be sworn to before
notary public or before the Assessor
of Incomes. If before the latter it will
be administered free of charge.
IMPORTANT
Every person who Is subject to the
tax who fails or refuses to make re-
turn may be required to pay the tax at
double the original rate. If he makes
a false or fraudulent return not show
ing his full amount of income and this
additional amount is discovered this
additional amount may be assessed at
double the original rate. In each case
he is liable upon conviction to fine of
not to exceed $500 or imprisonment not
to exceed one year or both at the dis
erection of the court.
The salaries of state, country, town,
city and village officers are not exempt
under this law, only the salaries of
u. 5. officials such as post masters,
post office clerks, u. s. Judges. etc.
The estimated rental of residence
property occupied by the owner is
counted as part of his income to place
him on a level with the man who rents
and who has to pay his rent out of
money counted as part Of his income.
by taxable income is meant net in
como after taking from your gross in
come the exemptions and deductions
allowed.
EXAMPLE NO. |
lLet us take the case of travelling
man who received for the year 1911 a
salary of $1,000. He has wife and
two children and lives in his own home
the estimated rental of which is $l5
per month. There is mortgage on
his place of $1,000 for which he pays s
per cent interest.
AHere is statement showing how to
get his income tax. NEN -

His tax would be per cent on $3.50
or $3.50 In order for this man to get
the deduction for interest paid on the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1912-03-07
$25. so

When he pays his taxes for the year
1912 if his personal property tax is
equal to or greater than $25 so then his
income tax is wiped out.
If his personal property tax for 1912
is $50 and his income tax sos so then
his the personal property tax receipt
and SIS, SO pays his income tax.
You will see that anyone already
paying tax on any amount of personal
property will pay very little if any
income tax.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the estauchian
tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when II Is en-
tirely closed Deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free.
