Experts Will Figure Your Income Tax.

Experts Will Figure Your Income Tax.
You won't have to figure out your
own income tax all by yourself hereaf'
ter. The government is going to send
out men to help you. 1t will be up to
you to hunt up these men, who will be
sent in o every county seat town, and
some other towns besides to meet the
people. Postmasters, bankers and
newspapers will. be able to tell you
when the governments income tax
man will be around, and where to find
him. He will answer your questions,
swear you to the return, take your
money, and remove the wrinkles from
your brow. Returns of income for
1917 must be made between January
1st and March 1st, 1918.
"The government recognizes, COL
lector of Internal Revenue Louis Muir
pny said today, THAT many persons
experience a good deal of difficulty in
filling out income tax forms. 1t rec
ognizes too, that taxpayers resident at
points where collectors offices are not
easily accessible find it hard to get
prorer instruction in the law. Next
year, when every married person liv-
ing with wife or husband and having
net income of $4,000, and every unmar-
ried person not the head of family
and having a net income of $1,000 for
the year 1917 must make return of in
come on the form prescribed, there will
be hundreds in every community seek
ing light on the law, and help in exc
cutting their returns. My own and
every other collection district in the ma
ton will be divided into districts, with
the county as the unit, and a govern
ment officer informed in the income
tax assigned to each district. He will
spend hardly less than a week in each
county, and in some counties a longer
time, very likely in the court house at
thecounty seat town. In cities where
there are collectors branch Offices, he
will be there and in other cities pos
sibly at the city hall. My office will
in due time advise postmasters and
bankers and send out notices to the
newspapers stating when the officer
will be in each county. 1t will be un-
necessary for prospective taxpayers to
ask my Office forms on which to make
returns. The officer who visits their
county will have them.
1T may be stated as a matter of
general information that Net Income
is the remainder after subtracting ex-
penses from gross income. Personal,
family, or living expense is not ex-
pense in the meaning of the law. the
exemption being allowed to cover such
expenses.
1.-The new exemptions of 1000 and
81, 600 will add tens of thousands to the
number of income taxpayers in this
district, inasmuch as practically every
farmer, merchant, tradesman, profess
sional man and salary worker and a
great many wage workers will be re-
quired to make return and pay tax"
1.-The law makes it the duty of the
taxpayer to seek out the collector.
Many people assume that if an income
tax form is not sent, or government
officer does not call, they are relieved
from making report. This is decidedly
in error. 1t is the other way round.
The taxpayer has to 60 to The govern
ment and if he doesn't within the time
prescri ed, he is a violator of the law,
and the government will 60 to him
with its penalties.

There IL no chance of Pitt playing an
other game outside of the regular schedule
other than the game of December 1 with

Camp Lee, for the benefit of the soldiers.
Why. II would be Il physical impossibility
for Pitt to play the Georgia Tech team on
