Vagaries of the Income Tax Law.

When all the vagaries of the income tax law
have been located and classified Congress should
proceed to the task of amending that loosely drawn
measure A number of its provisions are not
susceptible of logical interpretation; some of them
are amusing, even though unjust and harmful For
instance the Commissioner of Internal Revenue had
no choice but to interpret the law as putting a
premium on divorce, the living apart of husband
and wife.
The law actually imposes penalty upon mar
rled persons living together. Under ruling of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue an un-
married person a married person not living with
husband wife, shall be allowed an exemption
Of $1,000. When husband and wife live together
they shall be allowed jointly total exemption of
only $1,000 on their aggregate income. Surely this
could not have been the intention of the trainers
OF the law, and yet no other Interpretation seems
possible
Another effect OF the law, which it is unreason-
able to believe was contemplated, is to tax offer
ngs to the church, though in this respect the law
might perhaps be regarded susceptible of more
liberal construction. 1t has been decided how
ever that Easter offerings and fees received by
clcrgymcn for funerals, masses, marriages. bap-
tSms, etc, taxable incomes. Christmas gifts
however, are not so regarded 1t would seem that
IT II IS possible to exempt Christmas gifts it should
not be obligatory TO tax the other free will offer
ings. Clearly such gifts to the church and its
representatives should not be the objects of taxa
tion. To regard commercial revenue offerings
freely made by the people part of their relig-
lous duty Is not only without justification but
to the higher ideals. Such offerings in
reality are not fees not payment for services, and
should not be considered as taxable revenues
Services rendered by the clergy at funerals, mar
riagcs, and baptisms not purchasabIe; they are
free to the poor and lowly, but where gifts are
made to the church for its support they should be
safe from the hand of the tax collector
If the Collector of Internal Revenue is COM
PEELED to place such interpretations upon the law
IN the cases mentioned, it is obvious that the law
should be amended, without delay
