We are not going to undertake to

that those who are subject to an In
come tax on account Of which deduc-
lions have been made or are likely to
he made at the source of income are
required to file notice somewhere by
January % to avail themselves of the
deductions from income which the law
allows for taxation purposes. As 1t
happens the Treasury Department In

threw some light Oh the matter In ques.
ton. There is I'm that ruling n para

Is stated that:
ANY person subject to the normal In

withheld at the source. who may wish to
avail himself OF the deductions authorized
in Subsection Il. Section .. OF this act
may file either with the Collector OF In

ANY person subject to the normal In

roundabout Of phraseology equivalent
to 'any income tax payer" in ordinary
discourse. The following form" here
referred to In the Treasury Department
ruling is form No. ZOOS. Of the very ex-
istence Of which probably the large ma
jority Of income tax payers are wholly
ignorant. We suggest that those who
are affected by the provisions relative
to taxation at the source. especially
those from whose incomes any source
deduction was made last year. apply
forthwith and promptly to the revenue
collectors Of their districts for copies OF
Forms 1907 and ZOOS to be filled out
and flied before next Thursday night
with the proper person. Apparently
they will be on the safe side of the law
in so doing, and they may possibly save
money.
