such individuals.
Collector Craig suggests that I'm
married individuals whose net incom,
is in the neighborhood of $1,000, bu.
under that amount, and married indi
viduals whose net income is in thu
neighborhod of $4,000, but under thai
amount, should file returns, so that in
case a government inspecting officer
should later find that through error OF
misunderstanding a return was. not
filed while the net income was actually
sufficient to require a report no pen
atty for delinquency will have been in
Cured.
individuals and partnerships will
also be subject to the war excess pro-
fits tax. The law provides THAT in adj
dition to the taxes under existing law
and under this act there shall be lev
led, assessed, collected and paid for
each taxable year upon the net income
of every corporation, partnership, or
individual, a tax" computed upon the
net income of individuals and part
nerships at the same rate as in the
case Of corporations, except that the
deduction allowed from the net income
for the purpose Of computing the tax
permits a specific exemption of $4,000
instead Of the $4,000 allowed to cor
porations.
Collector Craig is in receipt of a
communication from the department
at Washington, in which the commits
sioner Of internal revenue advises that
rules and regulations for administra-
ton Of war excess profits tax law i'm
posed on partnerships and individuals,
in accordance with the intentions of
congress, are now in course of prepa-
ration and will be available for distri-
button in the near future, Pending re-
ceipt of such rules and regulations the
collectors Office can furnish only gem
eral information relative to the excess
profits tax law.
The war revenue act of October 8.
1917, did not repeal the income tax Of
September 8, 1916, in its entirety, but
merely made some changes in it. The
income tax law, therefore, remains
practically the same with regard to
corporations and with the exception Of
about eight important changes and
amendments. The most important
changes are as follows:
1-Levying a war income tax.
2-Providing that income tax and
war profits taxes are not deductable
from the gross income.
3-Proyiding that war excess profits
taxes are to be credited against the net
income in determining the income sub
ject to the income tax.
4EProviding the premiums on pol
icies insuring the lives of officers en-
ployees, etc, for the benefit Of corpo-
rations or partnerships are not deduct
able in the return.

The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1917-11-02

5-Providing that where interest
was paid on indebtedness incurred for
the purchase of bonds or similar obi
cations, the interest on which is not
subject to income tax, such interest is
not deductable from the gross income.
6-Levying a tax on the undistrib-
uted net incomes Of corporations.
Providing that the advance pay
ment of taxes either in whole or in in
Stallments.
3-Levying a war excess profit tax.
Under the income tax of September
8, 1916, as amended, all corporations
subject to the tax are still required to
pay a tax of 2 per cent upon their
entire net income as shown in their
income tax return. The war revenue
act of October 3, 1917, levies an addi-
tional tax, or war tax of 4 per centup-
on the net income of all corporations
subject to the tax, making a total in
come tax of 6 per cent, which a cor
~poration is now required to pay. In
arriving at the tax of 2 per cent, div
idends received from another corpora
ton cannot be deducted from the gross
income, but in arriving at the wal in
come tax of 4 per cent, all dividends
received by one corporation from the
stock Of another taxable corporation
may be deducted firm the gross income
for the purpose of the A per cent addi-
tional tax. Attention is called to the
distinction that is made between the
regular income tax and the war in
come tax. The regular income tax
rate of 2 per cent still remains in force
as heretofore, while the war income
tax is an additional tax of A per cent.
The time for filing income tax re-
ports has not been changed. All re-
ports that are made for the calendar
year must be filed within sixty days
after the close of such year, and all
reports made for a fiscal year must be
filed within sixty days after the close
Of such fiscal year.
The second important change made
in the income tax of September 8,
1916, was that all taxes paid during
the year could be deducted, except in
come and excess profits taxes and
those assessed against local benefits.
Heretofore, a corporation could deduct
all taxes actually paid within the year
except taxes paid for local benefits,
but under the amended law as it now
st ands the amount paid as income tax
or as excess profits tax cannot be de,
Quoted from the gross income.
The third change in the law provides
that in assessing the income tax the
net income embraced in the return
shall also be credited with the amount
Of any excess profits tax imposed by
act of congress and assessed for the
same calendar or fiscal year upon the
taxpayer.
The fourth change made provides
that where a corporation insures the
lives of some of its officers or employ
ees for the benefit of the corporation
the amount of premiums paid on sucf
policy cannot be deducted in its re
turn. Heretofore, such premiums coulC
be deducted in a corporations return
but the income tax law, as now amen
ded, provides specifically hat sucl
premiums are not a legal deduction

WANT SEATS FOR

 CONDUCTORS

Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau. NASAL .GTON.-On the ground tl.nt street car conductors lead toe a'd a life, . numerous group of citizens i1 the national capllol have started movement to force traction coinpanIes to pc. nrit conductors to take seats cn the parts of their runs where the traffic is l.gat. In nearly every large city in the couatry street car eorduc. .ols are d merited or dis charged if they si: down while on uuty. The Washing onans behind .his movement hope to extend It to other cities.
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-02-06

AS the United States is not at war with Germany 1t Is hard to unders tand just what right our country has to seize German ships interned in our harbors. Some time since one of our oic als was quited as saying that America hau no control over :he Ger man vessels except to prevent their escape to sea. The break in d.plo- mauc relations can hardly have changed the status of those ships. GCrlDan consuls are still at th.,r pos $, war has not been declared. If evil dCnce had been forthcoming shat the Germans, or any large number of them, were to try to escape, even u k.yman can see why the merchantmen had to be seized. But there hardly could not have such evidence, for report has 1t that the machinery of practically all the seized ships had been smashed prior to :he app earance coufessing ignorance of the law by which the seizures were made we may be sure that our government did not take that step without perfectly good grounds for doing 80. The admlnls- uation Is proceeding deliberately and rightly, we may be sure.
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-02-06

Germany should know full well what it's policy on the sea will lead to. And 1t would seem to be the part of wisdom not to elrage the Japanese nation beyond a reasonable limit. Japan Is somewhat touchy as to It's rights and dignity and German ships have sunk at least two Japanese vessels within fortnight. The Jap- anese know how to make war just as well as the Germans, and they are net tired now and disheartened as the Teutons must be. Should Japan get thoroughly arous>d and decide to send compact army of half million to tbc west front to settle scores for ships sunk 1t would be no feat of im- agination to conceive of the German wall of steel being broken down and the gap immediately filled by sturdy
 lit.ie men who could go forward faster
