Washington.--Ac to esti-
mates completed By the treasury ex-
perts, 425,000 American citizens must
keep such accurate account of their
incomes this year that they will be
able to report to the income tax col
lector next spring exactly how much
they owe the government under the
new income tax law
So far as the taxable American is
copcerned, the income tax law is now
practically in fcrce>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 Gov
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 $4,000, and every married per
son with an income above $4,000, is
expected to report his or her re-
ceipts in detail to the government
agents March Of each year.
To Produce se2,eeo,ooo.
The estimate completed indicates
that the income tax viii produce $780,
29S, 600 from the 425.00O persons taxed.
To this will be added the $35,000,000
or more produced by the present cor
poration tax, which is continued as
part Of the law.
President Wilson. the federal judges
OF the Supreme court now holding OF
fee and employees Of 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-
lions of the constituticnaliry Of the
law, and their successors in Office will
be compelled to pay the tax.
First Burden Is on Citizen.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law in
the next few months, as the first bur
den of the tax payment rests with the
individual citizen, and his failure to
report his income is punishable by a
fine
1t is admitted that when first re-
turns are made many taxable persons
probably viii escape payments, but
with each year the governments lists
of persons with taxable incomes viii
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 |
and other employers who
pay '.azr employees taxes "at the I,
source" Under the law as it will be
signed by President Wilson next week.
every large company employing labor
will be compelled to report any regu- |
lar salaries it pays in excess of the |
So 600 figures, and will pay the taxes
for it's 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
-eceiving such incomes must be pre- /
pared to show that the money has
paid its tax at its source.

WEALTH IN MIDDLE WEST
Investigations by Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue Reveal Large
Fortunes There.

The commissioner Of internal reve-
nue. made public the estimates on in
comes for the middle west.
These estimates show that far more
wealth is distributed in Illinois out
side of Chicago than in the city The
commissioner OF internal revenue is
inclined to believe the reports are so
far from correct that he will not use
them to any extent in his plans for the
collection Of the income tax.
According to his statement, 10000
citizens Of Chicago have incomes
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 per
year. while 1880 citizens of the
Eighth district, which has it's head
quarters in Springfield, have incomes
within this scope. Only 5000 indlvid-
uals in the Fifth district, with head
quarters at Peoria. are listed.
Likewise in Indiana there is a great
variance in districts. The collector
for the Sixth district reported over
10000 taxable incc mes, and the col
lector for the Seventh district reported
only 5000.

consin has few c- io IAN

A feature about the Minnesota in
come estimate is that the collector de-
clares there are 1856 men. in the state
with incomes upwsrds OF 100000 an
nually, while in Chicago the collector
reported only 35 persons with incomes
above the 100000 mark.
Large fortunes seem to predominant
in Minnesota, for ere are 1000 mes
rated with incomes between $4,000
and $4,000, as against 500 in Chicago
ard 1000 in the whole state of Hi
nois 500 with incomes between $780,
600 and 100000, as against 175 in
Chicago and 275 in Illinois, and 15o
over 100000, as against so in Hi
nois.
Indiana and Michigan are also re-
ported as having large income bear
ing fortunes over the $4,000 mark.
