About 425,000 Citizens Will be Re

Washington, Sept. 27.-According

made they will cover the income of
citizens from March l, 1918, to De-

this period.
Every single person, citizen or for.
"igner, or resident whose annual in
come exceeds $4,000, and every mar
ried person with an income above
$4,000 is expected to report his or her
receipts in detail to the government

The amount of the income tax as
finally agreed upon follows:
