Just How Much
Is Your Income?
government Will Send Special Man
Here to Aid in Making Your
Report.

In a communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal Rev.
enue Milton A. Miller, announces that
federal income tax officer will be
sent into this county on Feb. /, and
will be here until Feb. 10. He will
have his Office in the Court House at
Heppner and will be there every day
ready and willing to help persons
subjct to the income tax make out
their returns without any cost to
them for his services.
How many income-tax payers will
there be in this County? II you cali
guess how many married persons liv-
ing with wife or husband will have
net incomes of $4,000 or over and how
many unmarried persons will have
net incomes of $1,000 or over this
year, then you know. The Collector
Of Internal Revenue estimates that
there will be 200 taxpayers in this
County.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March 1,
1918. Because many people don't un-
derstand the law and won't know how
to make out their returns, the govern
ment is sending in this expert to make
himself known to the government. If
he doesn't make return as required
before March /, he may have to pay
a penalty ranging from $40 to 81, 700,
pay fine or 60 to Jail. So If you
don't want to take chances on going
to Jail, you better call on the income
tax man. If you are not sure about
being subject to the tax. better ask
him and make sure. Whether you
see the income tax man or not, you
must make return If subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in other
counties may, II they want to, come
and see the income tax man, who will
be at the county seat on the date a.
DOF6 ul0ullOueu.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however, don't mean
family expenses, money used to pay
off principal of "a debt, new machin-
cry, buildings, or anything like that.
They mean what you spend in max
ing your money-interest, taxes paid,
hired help, amount paid for goods
sold, seed, stock bought for feeding,
rent Except for your dwelling), etc.
Income includes about every dollar
you get.
