The Income Tax

WHO MUST PAY? Every corpora
ton with a net income exceeding
$4,000 and every partnership or in
dividua1 with a net income derived
from the operation of any kind of
business which exceeds $4,000 for the
present year is liable to pay a tax
on the amount of its excess profits.
This includes everybody that buys or
sells anything, all kinds of agents and
commission men, including CONNER
cial travellers, unless they are on a
fixed salary without commissions 1t
also includes all kinds of professions.
It hits farmers, doctors, lawyers, store
keepers, authors. real estate men,
contractors, and, in fact, everybody
that works who is not on fixed wage
or salary and has an income big
enough to come within the scope or
the. law.
WHAT ARE EXCESS PROFITS?
Excess profits as now defined bear
practically no relation to the amount
earned before the war. If you want
a rough idea of the excess profits of
your business, take the amount by
which its net income for 1917 exceeds
8 per cent on the capital invested. and

CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE
Aiding In Redemption Of China, Where
Natives Are Now Frequently Seen
Smoking Their Cheroots.

The cigar Is doing n large part In
the redemption of China. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see a native smoking
his cheroot, which promises to enjoy
the favor once bestowed on opium.
The import Of cigars into various
Chinese ports has been greatly on the
increase In the last few years, and now
amounts to about S350,000 annually.
OF this trade four-ffths normally Is
through Hongkong. There has been
a marked increase in the quantity Of
Dutch-made cigars used in South China
and other portions Of the Far
East during the last year or more,
where, for various reasons, Philippine
cigars have been losing in favor.
Previous to the outbreak of the war
In Europe considerable quantities Of
cheap cigars were sold In China and
the Far East through German firms in
Hongkong. and n German cigar fac.
tory was operated in Hongkong for the
manufacture Of cheap cigars for the
Chinese trade and also for export to
Europe. This factory is still operated
under Chinese control.
