Estimated That 425.O0O Per-

Incomes

keep such accurate account of
their incomes this year that
they will be able to report to the
income tax collector next spring
exactly how much they owe the
government under the new in
come tax law.
So far as the taxable Ameri-
can is concerned. tie income tax
law is now in force against him.
Every single person (citizen
or foreign resident) whose
annual income exceeds SO, 600,
and every married person with
an income above $4,000 is ex-
pected to report his or her re-
ceipts in detail to the govern
ment agents March / of each
year.
The estimate completed indi-
Gates that the income tax will
produce $92.298. 1000 from the
425, 600 presons taxed. To this
will be added the $35. 600, 600 or
more produced by the present
corporation tax, which is con-
tinued as part of the law.
President Wilson. the federal
judges of the Supreme court
now holding office and employees
"of a state or any political SUBJ
division thereof" are the only
persons specifically exempted
from the tax by the new law.
The president and judges now
in Office were made exempt to
escape any qestions of the con-
stitutionality of the law, and
their successors in office will be
compelled to pay the tax.
The general public is expected
to give close study to the new
law in the next few months as
the first burden of the tax pay
ment rests with the individual
citizen, and his failure to report
his income is punishable by a
fine.
Two primary methods of collect
ing the tax are contained in the
law. One is that of the individual
return made by the citizen; the
other the returns by corpora
tions and other employers who
pay their employees taxes Eat
the source"
Under the law signed by Pres
ident Wilson every big company
employing labor will be compelled
to report any regular salaries it
pays in excess of the $4,000 fig
ures, and will pay the taxes for
its employees and deduct the tax
from their pay envelopes.
In figuring up his net income
for the taxpayer. the American
business man, after deducting
$4,000 for himself. or $4,000. if
married, will have the right to
claim the following additional
exemptions:
Necessary expense of carrying
on business, not including per-
sonal, living or family expenses.
Interest paid out of indebted
ness.
National, state. county. school
or municipal taxes paid within
the year.
Trade losses, or storm or fire
losses, not covered by insurance.
Worthless debts charged off
during the year.
A reasonable allowance for
the depreciation of property.
Dividends from companies
whose incomes have already
been taxed. I
Interest from state, municipal
or government bonds.

TAFT'S SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT

An impressive point in President
Taft's' address recently at Morocco
Temple was the fact that Florida has
been selected by the government as
the most direct route to the Panama
canal. This shows how important a
part this state is to play in the fu-
ture commercial relations with this
big business artery, and the signif-
canoe of Mr.. Taft's statement is most
important
AS Jacksonville is the gateway to
Florida, it will be readily seen that
this city is destined to have close re
lations with the Panama canal, and
this is another strong argument why
our people should see to it that we
have those municipal docks in the
near re-Jacksonville Metropo-
lis.

EDIsoN's LATEST ACHIEVEMENT

A New York special says that in a
late interview the modern wizard,
Thomas A Edison, declared that he
believed the end of the present Iegit-
innate stage was at hand as a result
of his newest invention, a talking mo-
ton picture machine, called the XII
netophone. The inventor predicted
that this latest product of his genius
would afford the smallest of villages
throughout the world an opportunity
of seeing and hearing the best 81
shows for one7twentieth that amount.
There will be no more transformers,
either, because no one will be willing
to pay for second-class acting when
the foremost actors are performing
for the "talkies," and can be seen and
heard for a dime.
