The Income Tax

A. full explanation of the income tax law, which
is proving a puzzle to many people, will be found in
the January Lippincotts. Edward Sherwood Mead,
Lippincotts financial expert, is the author of the
paper.
The present income tax law levies a tax of one
per cent upon the annual net income of every citizen
Of the United States, whether residing at home or
abroad, every alien residing within the United States,
and, in some cases. upon the income of nonresident
aliens" says DR.. Mead. In addition to the income
tax of one per cent, there is a %sur-tax, or additional
tax, ranging from one to six per cent, upon amounts
Of income in excess Of $4,000. There is also a nor
NAL tax of one per cent levied upon the net income
of every corporation, agent, stock company, associ-
alton, and insurance company organized in the United
States. The exemption provided in the law is not
based upon the individuals, but upon income. From
the net income OF each person may be deducted a
specific exemption Of $4,000, plus $1,000 additional.
II the person making the return be married.
1T is to- be observed that the richest man in the
United States is entitled to this exemption, equally
with the man who receives only $1,000 a year; $4,000
or $4,000 is to be deducted from the incomes of all
persons liable to the tax. The additional tax is
in the same manner computed on the excess, rather
than the total. s.sFor example, a married person whose
net income for the year amounts to $780, 900 pays
one per cent on $4,000, and an additional one per
cent on $5O,OOO, the amount exceeding $2O,UOO and
not exceeding $4,000; an additional two per cent on
$4,000, the amount exceeding $4,000 and not ex-
ceeding $4,000; an additional three per cent on $21,.
900, the amount exceeding $751; 900 and less than $780,
900. II the tax payer has an income of $250,0O0, he
will pay five per cent on %sl5o,ooo; with a 100000
income. he will pay six. per cent on %s25O,0OO; and
all incomes exceeding $4,000 will pay this addi.
tional six per cent. The total range of the tax is
from. one to seven per cent.
'The%law is very specific as to the method by
which the net income is to be calculated. Starting
with the gross income, which includes every kind Of
salaries, wages, business profits, interest, rents, etc,
the description being made in very general terms,
three classes of deductions and exemptions are given.
The first has already been mentioned, the specific
exemption Of $4,000 or $4,000. The second includes
those deductions which are made from gross income
in computing the net amount subject to the normal
tax. and third. incomes exempt from tax"

A Dancer ESCAPED

According to the press dispatches, the great
Italian anation has been spared a disaster which
threatened to undo all the good work so we'll begun
by Sar:6aldi and the other heroes who made Italian
Independence and unifcation a reality. To be sure,
the catastrophe which was threatened had no founda.
tion in fact, but with nations, as with individuals
it probably is true that there is no relief quite so
welcome as that which comes when an. Imaginary
danger has, been escaped. ~
The press dispatches announce that Italy is now
firmly convinced that its police surveillance of an
American operate prima donna was unfounded and
that the young woman who was subjected to annoy.
ing espionage had no fell designs upon the peace of
the excellent monarchy which has succeeded to the
dominion OF the Caesars. This young woman had the
teperity to look at some Italian fortifications-al
ways a dangerous thing to do in these parlous times.
There is really no telling what cataclysmic results
may follow the apparently innocent inspection by a
young woman of an assortment of national fortif.
When to this suspicious indiscretion is add.
ed the fact that among her correspondents the young
American singer numbered a naval officer and a dip
lomat, the quaims of the Italian government may ,e
appreciated. Little is the wonder and small the
chance for adverse criticism that the government
suspectedS the young woman of being a spy. OF
course, the United States has plenty Of Notifications

To what use the Americans could put the %fortiica-
lions of the Italian peninsula, provided the prima
donna had carried them away or had even got plans
OF them, remains to be- explained. Perhaps the
secret dossier on file in the Roman archives would
reveal the facts. But 1t is sufficient that the young
woman has been exonerated. from the charge of being
in the pay of this or any other government secre.
tary BRYAN need not deliver q special peace lecture
to prove to the world that this country doesn't care

sending any prima donnas as spies and conspirators
against the worlds peace.
Ais we'll that ends well, and with the quasi
official apology from the Italian government for the
unjust suspicious harbored against the fair warbler

at whirlwind speed, too fast, in fact,
TO bring out many of the most inter-

sent. The girls are young, ambitious
and clever and with the elimination
OF some of the a~crobatics and more

"THE LION AND THE MOUSE"

The Francis Sayles players began
their engagement at the Auditorium
Sunday with a creditable and very
satisfactory presentation OF Charles
Klein's stirring drama Of finance and
The Lion and the Mouse"
The piece is we'll known here and
needs little explanation. Ii tells in a
pleasing and foTceful manner the
story Of a clever girls fight 10 save
her father and how she enters the
private home OF a financial lion to do
II.
As an initial attraction il gave the
Sayle'S players good opportunities to
demonstrate their ability and each
proved equal to the task. As Shirley
ROssmOre, the Mouse" Olga Worth
made a most pleasing impression. She
has youth and fire and an earnestneSs
that is interest-cOmpelling and in the
big scenes carries herself with all the
confidence and skill that has been
shown by better known players in the
part. Hers was a remarkably clever
and realistic enactment, with all the
deft touches of a -reSourceful woman
who is fighting for victory and event
ually wins 1t.
Francis II. Sayles as the dominant
money king, gave a virile portrayal of
the part and was entirely satisfactory
throughout. Irwin Read, as his son.
made an excellent impression. He is
tall, handsome and has a splendid
voice. He looked the part of the mil
lionaire's son and played it nicely.
The entire company gave very capa-
bic support, the costuming was appro-
pirate and the settings good.
