Hundreds of Neu
Tax Payers Under
'Neu Income Tax

Hundreds Of Fargo men who never
before paid a federal tax are facing
the prospect of making returns and
paying for support of the war under
the new income tax provisions of
the war revenue bill, as agreed up
on tentatively by a conference COM
mittee of the house and senate.
AL childless married men with in
comes over $4,000 and all single men
earning over $1,000 will be taxed on
their earnings above those sums. An
exemption of 5000 additional is made
for each child. thus a man having
one child would not be taxed unless
he earned more than $4,000. II he
had two children he would not be
levied upon unless his annual salary
was more than $1,000.
Surfaces Hit Large Incomes,
Copies of the senate bill. which is
the basis of the agreement, have
been received in the northwest. The
more the law is studied the more
complicated 1t Is found to be. Any
man who has been paying tax I'M
der the old law, financial men say,
will need expert advice in getting at
the tax he now is facing, for there
will be four separate percentage
rates of tax to levy, with different
rates ana exemptions, 50 tndt only d
man who has made a study of the
act can figure the tax on any given
income.
The surtaxes will hit large in
comes hard.
Several features of the new law
were clarified in a stateTnent issued
by the Wells Dickey Trust company.
The company has computed the
amounts Of the tax under the new
law on various incomes, following
the classifications Of the law, and
figures them out as follows, based on
the exemption of $4,000 for mar
ried man without children.

MAKING THEM PERMANENT.

The matter of making a permanent
federal bureau Of women's work is
being urged in several quarters. The
idea seems to be to take the existing
machinery, organized for war, and
by a little broadening and adjusting
make an engine of permanent USE
fulness.
A little further testing Of the pres
ent machinery in action would seem
to he advisable before any serious
step is taken. But If prophecy may
be ventured, it may be said that not
only in the realm Of women's specific
work, but in many others, perman-
ency is going to be given to war or

On the basis of their returns last
year, there are 56 Minnesota men who
will pay more than $2,500,00 in fed
eral income tax this winter. The
new law, while reaching down for
smaller incomes, hits the larger ones
still harder with its surfaces. The
income tax tables for 1915 show the
number of Minnesota men paying in
the different classes. Basing the
figures on the minimum amount for
each class. the taxes Minnesota's
wealthiest men will have to pay this
year are as follows:

to pay than these figures show. The

Make the next start with North
Dakota corn, says The Dickinson
Press in commenting on the present
seed corn situation, as follows:
The corn in many North Da-
kota fields will not become ma
s. ture enough for seed. This will
mean that these farmers will
have to start over again with
corn. Considerable time will be
saved If the start is made with
North Dakota grown seed, rather
than with seed from further
south. This means a big oppor-
tunity to those farmers who are
fortunate enough TO have corn
mature. The more seed they
save the larger will be the acre
age that can be planted with
North Dakota grown seed next
spring. There is very little seed
corn carried over so that the
price will likely be high. This is
a case where one can do a good
service for ones fellow men, and
at the same time be well paid for
