This time the reason for no heat is
not because Of the scarcity Of coal, for
The Public School Board of Trustees,

You won't have to figure out your

up TO you TO hunt up these men, who
will be sent into every county, seat

to meet the people. Postmasters.
bankers and newspapers will be able
to tell you when the governments in

THE government recognizes" Col
lector of Internal Revenue Joshua W.
Miles said, chat many persons expert
ence a good deal of difficulty in filling
out income tax forms 1t recognizes,
too, that taxpayers resident at points
where collectors Offices are not ac-
cessible find it hard to get proper in
structions in the law Next year,
when every married person living
with wife or husband and having a net
income of $4,000, and every unmar-
ried person not the head of a family
and having a net income of $1,000 for
the year 1917 must make return of

ernment officer informed in the in
come 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 the county seat town. In
cities where there are collectors
branch officers, he will be there, and
In other cities possibly at the city hall.
My office win in due time advise post
masters and bankers and send out no
tees to the newspapers stating when
The officer will be in each county. 1t
will be unnecessary for prospective
taxpayers to ask my Office for forms
on which to make returns. The Off
Ger who visits their county will have
them.
at may be stated as matter Of
general information that net income
is the remainder after substracting
expenses from gross income. Per-
sonal. family, or living expense is not
expense in the meaning of the law,
the exemption being allowed to cover
such expenses.
THE new exemptions OF 81 900 and
$4,000 will add tens of thousands to
the number of income taxpayers in
this district, inasmuch as practically
every farmer. merchant. tradesman,
professional man and salary worker
and q great many wage workers will
be required to make return and pay
tax
"The law makes it the duty of the
taxpayer to seek out the collector.
Many people assume that if an in
come tax form is not sent, or gov
.ernment 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 go
to the government and if he doesn't
within the time prescribed he is yio-
lator of the law, and the government
viii go to him with its penalties"
