HOW TO COMPUTE INCOME TAX

The income tax law of October 3,
1918, places a tax of / per cent upon
all net incomes of over $4,000, with
an additional tax on incomes of $780,
900 or more. The first question arts
ing In the minds of most people is
what constitutes net income. For
a man receiving a regular salary, or
a business man with good system of
bookkeeping, it is easy to determine
whether or not his income is taxable.
But for the farmer who receives no
stated income, and who often fails
to keep accurate account of receipts
and expenditures, it is more difficult
to calculate his net income.
In general an income consists of
amounts derived from salaries, wages,
or compensation for personal service
paid in any form; also from profess
sions, business, sales or dealings in
property, or from rents, interest on
bonds or mortgages dividends on
stocks, or other income from invest
ments. These items constitute gross
income, from which there should be
deducted the expenses of carrying on
the business; interest paid on indebt-
edness; worthless debts charged off
losses by fire, storm or shipwreck, not
covered by insurance; exhaustion,
wear and tear of property and any
income upon which the income tax
has already been deducted at the
source, as, for instance, dividends on
the stock of a corporation which has
already paid the tax on it's earnings.
The provisions regarding net in
comes of $4,000 apply only to unmar-
ried persons, or to married persons
not living with wife or husband A
husband and wife living together are
entitled to an exemption of $4,000 on
their aggregate income. This means
that in case the wife has a separate
income, if this added to the husbands
income amounts to $4,000 the total is
subject to the tax; or, if the wife has
no separate income, the husbands in
come is taxable only in case it reach
es $4,000. But return must be made
if the aggregate income of both is
$4,000 for the year 1913. The joint
exemption, however, would be 1888
80.
In arriving at his net income the
farmer should start with his gross
income. This would consist of any
items of the kind above enumerated.
and especially all receipts from the
sale of products of every description
from the farm. This would include
all money received for produce and
animals sold, and for the wool and
hides of animals slaughtered, if the
wool and hides are sold but he may
deduct from these items the amounts
actually paid as purchase money for
the animals sold or slaughtered dur
ing the year When the animals
slaughtered however, their value
should not be deducted.
From the gross income there should
be deducted amounts of money actual
ly paid as expenses for operating the
farm and producing the farm products
live stock, etc. This would include
hired farm labor, farm supplies pur-
chased that are necessary to carry on
the business and not an investment
that represents principal, etc. Elk
penses for repairs on farm property
may be deducted provided the amount
deducted does not exceed the amount
spent for such repairs during the year
for which the return is made The
cost of replacing tools or machinery

MY report will be made very soon.
The exact date will depend on cir
cumstances. Gathering up the loose
ends about Atlanta may delay its final
completion from four to six days, but
l do not anticipate that it will be
longer than this"
Speaking of his interviews with
Chicago newspapermen, Burns said:
People there were Mortified that
man on trial for his life could be SO
viliied in a courtroorS ard in the ru-
NOR that was widespread before the
trial-vilified to degree that made
his conviction on a charge of murder
virtually certainty. Because !

BURNS RE TURNS To END
PROBE AND GIVE REPORT
Detective Declares Result of Investigation Of
Frank Case Will Be Made Public Very Soon
Trip North Developed Valuable Evidence

Back from weeks trip that in
cluded visits to New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and Kansas City, De-
tective w. j. Burns said Saturday
night that his agency had practically
completed its work on the Phagan
murder mystery and would have it's
report ready to be given to the public
within few days
In each of the cities visited Burns
interviewed persons possessing valu-
able information bearing on the case.
Several of them never have been
mentioned before as having any
knowledge, either direct or hearsay, of
the circumstances of the crime of last
Memorial Day.
Much is said to have hinged upon
Burns visit in Chicago, where he was
to see a man reported to have most
damaging evidence against one of the
men whose connection with the crime
is under investigation by the detec-
tive.
Refuses to Tell of Evidence.
Mr.. Burns firmly refused Saturday
night to divulge the nature of the in
formation he obtained from this man
or to disclose his informant's identi-
". Neither would he say whether he
had seen Nina Formby and NJ. w.
Osborne in New York and II. F.
Becker in Irvington, y. J.
1t was believed when he left At
lanta that his mission to New York
chiefly was concerned with question
ing these persons-the Formby wom-
an to learn the methods by which the
detectives procured from her the affi-
davi, defamatory to Franks charac-
ter and strongly pointing to him as
the slayer; Osborne to find out the
results of his handwriting tests made
while here in Atlanta on the case,
and why he was not called by tho
State as a witness. and Becker to get
the facts in regard to the disposal of
old requisition pads such as that on
which the death notes found by the
'Phagan girls body were written.
The Philadelphia angle to the case
was recent development Burns
said that he got the information he
was after in every city and that he
