planned in a most comprehensive man
ner last night at the Fargo CONNER
ciaI club to about 100 business men of
Fargo by A. J. EDWARDS Of the Wells
Dickey Co. of Minneapolis. His adj
dress followed the regular monthly
dinner Of the club. ,.
Mr. Wells showed himself fully CON
versant with his subject and in plain
language told all the phases of the
law and Its requirements. According
to the phraseology Of the new statute,
1t is somewhat difficult to understand
except to those who have given their
time and attention to the study of the
perpleXing measure.
This Mr.. Edwards has done and last
night gave the Fargo business men
the benefit of his study Of the law and
it's every provision so that many in
this city now feel much better to pre-
pared to make their declarations to
the government before next March,
until which time the department OF
internal revenue will allow everybody.
The new income tax law will cover
the operations of all men dating from
Get. 81, last, n gives everyone until

possessor Of the income one or the
other will be taxed after the exeanp-
ton for married people Is made. But
the exemption will not be made for

excess of $4,000. In this instance the
exemption will be made only for n
or the other, which Is left optional
with the man and his wife, as to which
it shall be.
In the case Of corporations, every
corporation, no matter how small or
how large, is required to make a dec
laration Of its earnings during the
past year and will be taxed on q basis
of ! per cent.
Salaried men, whose salaries exceed
the income tax exemption amount in

Quoted there in all probability by the
corporation accounting departments.
In other words, branch managers Of
such concerns as those that have job
bing houses in Fargo are assessed at
their home offices where the tax is
paid on employees.
Mr.. Edwards kindly answered all
perpleXing questions ~propounded aft
Ell his address. His talk was a most
profitable one and one that highly
pleased.
