People begin to think now about
the new Income Tax, and just. what
it means. The provisions of this
new War Revenue Act, are very little
known by people in general, yet the
fact remains that income reports for
the year 1917 must be made out by
everybody ON blanks furnished by the
government for that purpose, on or
before the first day of March. The
reports must be made to r.. Doyle
Revenue Collector at Grand Rapids.
Anticipating the trouble people Will
have in understanding the provisions
of the law and properly making out
the reports, the government will send
out experts to assist those who may
desire it. He will be at the Court
House in Paw Paw from February
End, to 18th, and at the City Hall in
the City of South Haven from
February 10th TO March LIST. 1t is
not the Governments business to go
To the tax payer, but the tax payer
must go to the government, and these
reports must be made under penalty
of fine~from $4,000 to $1,000 or inn
prisonment.
The New War Measure extends the
income tax to all married persons
having a net income of $4,000 or more
per year, and to all unmarried per-
sons having q net income of 81 900
or more. Tax to be based on the net
income for the year 1917. The Collect
or of Internal Revenue estimates that
there will be Approximately eight
hundred people in Van Buren, County
that will be tax payers under the new
law.
Just what met" income means, is
the point that is puzzling the people
right now. A frequent inquiry is
DO living expenses, cost of setting
the table, clothing. etc, constitute an
fguring Net income ?" No, they do
not Expenses, under this law, don't
mean, family expenses, money paid
on the principal of a debt, new mach
inery, new buildings, improvements
or anything like that. Expenses
mean just what you spend in making
your money-interest, taxes paid.
hired help, amount paid for goods
sold, seed, stock bought for feeding,
rent, Except for your dwelling)
amount paid for grape baskets, spray
mixture etc. When we get right
dow n to the facts, Income" includes
about every dollar one gets.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses, to be ready when
the expert arrives. Remember though
YOU must come to him at the place
and time specified. He will not come
TO you. And as we understand the
matter, everybody must make a re-
port, whether they have sufficient in
come TO be taxed or not. The True
Northerner will have more to say on
some phases Of the law in later
issue.

The whole picture is thor oughly imbued with a melodramatic punch which gives it an absolute grip on the audience.
