new INCOME TAX
INFORMATION At THE SOURCE
ASKED BY JAN. I.
New Measure Provides Tax on Single
Persons Receiving Over $1,000 and
Married Persons Getting over $1,000.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-In the new revenue meas
ure recently passed by Congress
amending the income tax law, there
10 Incorporated provision which is
OF special interest to individuals,
partnerships and corporations, max
ing fixed annual payments of salaries,
interest, or rent Of $500 or more to
another person. partnership. or cor
poration. This is known as "Informa-
tion at the source" and the law re-
quarss such person, or corporation, to
render a true and accurate return of
all such payments, and provides Sc
we're penalties for failure to make such
return.
This Information Is required for the
calendar year 1917 and subsequent
years.
Mark A. Skinner, collector of in
ternal revenue. Denver. urges that
these lists be sent in as early as
possible in January, in order that his
office may have an authentic list of
persons to whom information and
blanks may be sent.for returns under
the income tax law. In furnishing
these lists the employers will be rem
dering service to their employees by
enabling the collector to furnish infor-
nation and blanks to persons liable
to the tax, but ignorant of the provi-
sions of the law, and thus save them
from the penalties imposed for failure
to make return on or before March LIST.
Thiu h1 1fuh uhal
within the limited period unless the
information returns are filed imme-
diately after the first of the year.
says Mr.. Skinner, and in the present
critical period when our country
needs money SO urgently. it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to CO.
operate with the government officials
in furnishing these lists at the earl
lest possible moment.
Any person coming under the pro-
vision of this law requiring informa-
tion returns should apply to the col
lector of internal revenue for proper
blanks and the same will be for
warded as soon as the blanks are re-
ceived from Washington.
The new law requires an income
tax return from a single person hav-
ing net income In excess Of $1,000.
or married person having q net in
come in excess of $4,000. The law no
longer requires Withholding Of the tax
at the source, except in the case of
bonds guaranteed free of tax: and in
the case of nonresident alien individ-
uals. and corporations, not having an
office in this country.

Of crop production that are of special
Importance during the war emergency.
the United States Department of Ag.

ers In the sugar-beet producing dis
tricts to the importance of maintain
ing the acreage of that crop next year.
While the soil and climatic conditions
Of the country are suitable for a much
greater production of beet sugar than
is now made, the production for next
year is necessarily limited by the
available seed supply and to the rel
atively small areas where beet-sugar
mills now exist.
