MORE EPERPLEX|TY
FROM INCOME TAX
Officials Meet New Prob
lem Practically Every Day
MANY WILL ESCAPE
Law Could Not Be Framed to In-
sure Collection on Every
Item of Some Mems
Incomes

Washington, November Is.-(Special }
New phases of the income tax problem
are arising daily to perplex officials
charged with the administration of the
new law.
Profiting by the experience of England
during the last 30 years. it is provided
that the income must be collected at the
source. This takes in not only the big
corporations, but the average business
man One who pays to another rent, or
interest, or salary in excess of $4,000 is the
source of that ones income and is re-
quired to deduct the tax
Nat Goodwin, the actor, will be re-
quired to deduct the federal tax from the
alimony he pays his several former wives.
occupants Of big office building or
apartment house will not be required to
deduct any tax from the amount of their
rent, but will merely state what they
pay, so that the aggregate income of the
landlord may be known and taxed ac-
cordingly.
So puzzled have the big banks, trust
companies and other financial institutions
become in trying to decide what the law
requires that their highly paid counsel
are giving most of their time these days
to analyzing the antiquities they find in
the statute and regulations issued by the
treasury department.
The greatest difficulty they meet is in
the Interpretation of this paragraph of
Section E:
"All persons, firms, corporations etc.,
who are required to make and render a
return in behalf of another, are required
to deduct and withhold from such annual
gains, profits and income such sum as will
be sufficient to pay the normal tax i'm
posed thereon by this section
The shortness of time elapsing between
the issuance of the income tax regulations
and November l, the date the new law
became effective, added to the confusion
in the minds of the big financial institu-
tions, but many of the difficulties which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-19

were inseparable from inaugurating the
system Will disappear after short time.
That large element of taxable income
will escape taxation, is inevitable. There
will be evasions In this as in any other
taxation system. The man whose income
Us in stocks and bonds and rents of houses
which cannot be concealed, will be taxed
while that part derived from the wages Of
labor and the fees of professional services
will more easily escape
No law was ever framed and none prob
ably could be framed that did not some
time bear unJustly on somebody. Thus
it is conceivable that income from a par
t:cular class of property may be over
taxed and leave the recipient of the in
come no redress but to appeal for rebate
at the end of the year.
Such a case is cited by Stuart II. Peter
son, the expert retained by committee
representing the New York trust COM
panies. He imagines a banker with $1O0,
COO a year income derived from bonds. He
pays out ss5,000 on deposits and for the
conduct of his business. OF the $4,000
above the $1,000 exemption he would prop
erly be taxed $120 Yet the bondholders
deduct from his income 1910. OF course.

Miss Enslen was an ideal of beauty, her

The great Gladstone strongly recon-
mended a resort TO the income tax only as

washington, November 18-(Special }
All hope of the early passage of the ad-
ministration currency measure is how
abandoned. Even in the most optimistic
administration circles there Is no real
behef that the bill can become a law un-
III after the long session beginning the
first Monday in December is many weeks
old.
Indeed, there is no telling what the Sen
ate may do to the bill. The measure as
passed by the House has been subjected
to many changes In the Senate banking
and currency committees deliberations,
and many more are pending. The repub-
lioan proposal for the guarantee of bank
deposits, supported by the insurgent DEM
ocratic senator from Nebraska-Hitch-
cock-is a part of the scheme for delay
1t begins to appear that the enemies of
the bill are going to come close to de-
feating the measure by so mutilating It
that the President will NOT stand for the
substitute which may finally be offered
him.
Session Long Drawn Out
The fight that is sure to come in the
long session in the Senate over the cur
rency is a guarantee that the coming reg
Liar session of Congress Is destined to
be a long, drawn out affair. 1t Is ad-
nitted that SO far as actual legislation is
concerned, President Wilson is facing the
real crisis of his administration in the
coming session. The President is ab-
bilious to carry out the greater part of
the democratic legislative programme be-
fore the gavel falls on the final scene of
the long session some time next year and
there are many things to do. and there are
multitudes of ideas as to how and in what
way they ought to be done.
Danger of Appropriation Bills
The biggest task the administration
faces, in the opinion of many, Is not the
successful enactment of suitable anti
trust legislation, the passage of a sat
isfactory currency bill, or the considera-
tion and enactment of adequate conser-
walton egislation-though it is admitted
that all these matters present signs of
trouble-but the real problem and the
most momentous to the administration, is

Incomes That Are Exempt

Under the law an unmarried man or
woman is exempt on $4,000 of income.
Married persons living together are eX-
empt on $1,000 and must pay the tax on
$1,000. This is said to be a reflection On
matrimony, since the parties If living
apart and each enjoying an Independent
income of $1,000 would not have to pay any
tax at all. But that is the law
Each individual has the right to say
where he will claim his exemption. Thus
If an unmarried man has a salary OF
$4,000 and an outside income from taxable
bonds of $1,000, he can file a claim for the
benefit of his exemption with his en-
ployer The latter would then only de-
duct $40 to pay the income tax instead OF
$40. Or the individual might prefer to
reverse the exemption and claim it on his
bonds. He has that option However.
to be on the safe side he must file claim
for his exemption somewhere. Even II
some of his bonds are federal or local
government bonds and are tax free, all
certificates are a matter of record. lie

has not made a return
