TAX ON ALIMONY PULLING
Shall Former Husband Withhold
It at Source or Not?

Washington. Nov. The alimony con
tingent is perpleXed. II does not know
Just how il will have TO pay the income
tax on alimony In excess OF 5000 an
nualy that It Is paying to its former
wives
This question is one OF the many that
the Internal Revenue Of the Treasury De-
partment has been called upon to eluCi-
date. No determination has yet been
reached. but in view of the Importance
Of the question, il probably will be CON
sidered at length.
The uncertainty seems TO hinge upon
whether the tax should be withheld by
the former husband before paying the
s. 900 over TO his former spouse or
whether 1t shall be paid by the latter In
the event Of its being Withheld al the
source. the question arises II IL would not
be double tax on the same amount I'M
less 1t is conceded to be an expense prop
crly deductble from the income Of the
alimony payer.
1t will cost the Government about
100000 TO collect the income tax, In the
opinion OF Treasury officials.

TAKE ISSUE WITH SCHIFF
Local Bankers See No Danger
in Currency Bill Delay.

Several bankers in the financial district
yesterday took issue with the statement
made by Jacob Fl. Schiff before the Cham
Der OF Commerce on Thursday that "un-
less monetary reform Of some kind were
enacted We would have to face a serious
situation Mr.. Schiff modified his pre-
vious declaration by explaining that pres
ent conditions were not similar to those
existing before the panic Of 1907, saying:
There is nothing like a financial panic
or crisis in sight. To the contrary, money
is likely TO work into a comfortable sit
uation next year. But if currency reform
be not enacted before long we shall like
ly feel the disappointment and discour-
agement about this in an extended period
OF depression which may result political
ly and economically in a very unsatsfac-
tory state of affairs"

sauatoTium.
Mr.. Merritt had several large contracts.
