How To Calculate
Your Taxable Income

Benjamin S. Circuit, in the American
Review of Reviews for January gives
the following interesting summary OF
the general features of the new income
tax law as it concerns the individual
tax payer. The method Of arriving at
a taxable income is as follows:
The normal tax is to be ascertained
by deducting from the gross income of
the individual the following items:
1. Expenses Of carrying on business
mot including living expenses)
2. Interest paid on Indebtedness.
3. Taxes Except assessments for To-
cal improvements.)
4. Losses in trade.
s: Bad debts.
6. Depreciation of tangible property.
Z. Dividends on stocks.
s. Income, the tax upon which has
been withheld at the source.
There is exempt:
9. $4,000 plus $1,000 additional If the
taxpayer is married man.
There is excluded from consideration
an income, interest on bonds of a state

Mexican Dictator's Finish
Is About At Hand.

The fact that the Mexican govern
ment has announced that it will pay
no interest on its national debt for
six months las not been well received
by the powers whose citizens have
loaned money to Mexico.
Indeed there is a belief that some
of the powers may soon call on the
United States to take more effective
steps to end the fighting in Mexico.
1t In doubtful, however, if this can
be done for it appears that President
Wilson has already taken about the
most effective steps possible to end the
trouble. The financial blockade that
has been in progress for some time
is beginning to have a telling effect,
and the confession that the Mexican
government will be unable to meet any
bonded obligations for six months
shows that the quiet and easy policy of
the present administration is becom-
ing about as effective as a lombard
been. If the Mexican government can
not meet its obligations now there is
no prospect that it will be able to do so
at the end of six months, and it is GER
tain that any government, or set of
men who would lend Huerta money
now. would be taking daring chances
In fact, 1t may be safely said that no
more syndicates will offer financial
aid for the promise of concessions
which promise cannot endure If the
Huerta government fails, is now ap-
pears certain.
Huerta's troops on the. battle field
have not given a good account of
themselves. The fact that a bandit
general. with no military training, at
the head Of an army of unframed men,
has been able to conquer the entire
northern part of Mexico and to drive
the federals across the border, does
not speak well for the Mexican gen
erals. and soldiers who have been in
active service and who belong to the
regular army. With such a sorry show.

City does not appear so very i'm

power is weakening at home and In

Fletcher In Tampa.

Senator Duncan u. Fletcher is in
Tampa to spend a few days and, while
here. desires to take the opportunity
of speaking to the people Of this city
on one particular subject-the customs
reorganization and the selection Of
Jacksonville as the headquarters for
the state. This is a matter upon which
the senator has been subjected to
much local criticism, many going SO
far as to charge him with the direct
responsibility for the substitution of
Jacksonville for Tampa It is a mat
ter which cannot be treated intelll-
gently in written communications and
Senator Fletcher wishes to meet the
people of Tampa face to face and tell
them the whole story. He feels that
this is not a political matter but a
business matter, without reference to
politics 1t affects the sincerity of his
service at Washington as a represen-
tative of the whole people Of Florida.
Naturally, he feels that he has been
unfairly criticised and he proposes to
show that he was in no sense respon-
sible for the change.-Tampa Tribune.
