So far as the taxable American is
concerned, the income tax law is now
practically in force against him. While
the tariff law in which the law is en-
bodied will not be signed until next
week, the first returns do not have to
be made to the internal revenue col
lectors before March /, 1914. But when
the returns are made they will COW
er the income Of citizens from March
1, 1913, to December 81, and the first
payment of tax will be for money re-
ceived during this period.
Every single person (citizen or for
eign resident) whose annual income
exceeds $1,000, and every married per-
son with an income above $4,000, is
expected to report his or her re-
ceipts in Idetail to the government
agents March / Of each year.
President Wilson, the federal Judges
of the Supreme court now holding Of
fee and employees "of a state or any
political subdivision 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 ques-
tions of the constitutionality of the
law, and their successors in office will
be compelled to pay the tax
First Burden 10 on Citizen.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law In

fine.

turns are made many taxable persons

Hard to Please.


A typical mover of the ultra
shiftless type was passing few days
at a COW camp in Arizona, prepara-
tory to going into the desert on q
prospecting trip. His wife, a tired
out. faded-out creature. complained
to some of the cowhands of the hard
ness of her lot; and the foreman
took it upon himself to demonstrate
with the husband for his shiftlessness
and his Indifference to his wife's. well
fare.
"The old woman amt got no kick
commit" said the husband when he
had heard the foreman's remarks
"She amt got no kick at all. Why,

probably will escape payments but
with each year the governments lists
Of persons with taxable incomes Will
be made more nearly complete.
Methods Of Collecting Tax.
Two primary methods of collecting
the tax are contained in the law. One
Is that the individual return made by
the citizen; the other the returns by
corporations and other employers who
pay their employees taxes at the
source" Under the law as 1t will be
signed by President Wilson next week.
every large COMPANY employing labor
will be compelled to report any regu-
lar salaries 1t pays in excess OF the
$4,000 figures, and will pay the taxes
for its employees and deduct the tax
from their pay envelopes.
This payment at the source Will
apply to salaries. rents, interests roy
alties, partnership profits and some
other sources OF income. and persons
receiving such incomes must be pre-
pared to show that the money has
paid its tax at its source.
In figuring up his net income for
the taxpayer. the American business
man, after deducting $4,000 for HIM
self. or $4,000. II married, will have
the right to claim the following addi-
tional exemptions:
Necessary expense of carrying on
L,,e ~ L. hvtn0
or family expenses.
Interest paid out of Indebtedness.
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 of during
the year.
A reasonable allowance for the de-
probation of property.
Dividends from companies whose in
comes have already been taxed.
Interest from state, municipal or
government bonds.
Must be Entire met Income"
It Is a clear provision Of the law.
however, that the taxable person must
make return to the internal revenue
collector for his entire met income"
and exemptions claimed under the Law
must be submitted to the federal ON
GERS for them to determine upon their
reasonableness or legality.
Ready to Answer Questions.
The treasury department Is prepar-
ing for flood of questions about the
new income tax, realizing that this
feature of the tariff bill about to be-
come law strikes more intimately at
the tax paying citizen than do the
indirect taxes collected through the
customs duties.
For the first year the citizen will
make return to the local internal reve-
nue. collector before March !. 1914.
as to his earnings from March 1, 1918.
to the end of this year. The collector
will notify him June 1 how much
he owes and the tax must be paid
by June 80. After next year the tax
will apply on the full calendar year.
