IF MORE THAN $4,000 LAW RE-
QUIRES STATEMENT TO BE
MADE TO COLLECTOR AT
GRAND RAPIDS.
MUST Be IN BEFORE MARCH |
All Corporations Must Also Submit
Report. Blanks Furnished by +.
]. Doyle Collector, Grand Rapids.

The time has arrived when persons
who have an annual net income Of
$4,000 or more should prepare state
nent and report to the Collector at
Grand Rapids. This is required un-
der the Federal Income Tax Law, and
should be reported on or before March
first to avoid penalties and additional
tax.
The impression prevails that it is
unnecessary to report unless the in
come exceeds $4,000. This is wrong.
The law requires a report if the net
income amounts to $4,000, but mar
ried man has no tax to pay unless his
income exceeds $4,000. A single per-
sons exemption is $4,000.
Generally speaking, income consists
of salary, profit or gain from profess
ions, trades or partnerships, rents, in
terest, dividends, royalties, and profits
from real estate or other dealings of
any sort.
There are certain allowable deduct
ions consisting Of interest and taxes
actually paid, losses, worthless debts,
depletions and depreciations.
AS general rule, professional men
such as doctors, dentists, and lawyers
should report.
Every individual, firm or corpora
tion paying salaries, rents or interest
to any person in excess of $4,000.
Should withhold the income tax there
on unless the person receiving same
files an exemption claim in writing on
a form prescribed by the department.
A report on all such transactions
should be made to the collector on or
before the first of March. This in
cludes all persons doing business for
another in the capacity of trustee, eX
ecutor or administrator.
All corporations having legal eX-
istance, including those inactive, must
report regardless of profits made and
losses sustained. The trustee of q
bankrupt corporation is required to
file report.
Blanks for all purposes under the in
come tax law are furnished upon ap-
plication to Emanuel j. Boyle, Collect
or Of Internal Revenues, Grand Rapids
Michigan, who will be glad to answer
any questions or furnish any infor-

AS FREE AND MUTCHLER
LUMBER COMPANY.

The Lumber and Coal firm of Free,
Hall and Mutchler henceforth will be
known as The Free and Mutchler

caused by the retirement of one men,
Der of the firm, VIM. H. Hall, who has
sold his interest in the company to the
senior member, John W. Free. The
writer is not advised as to Mr.. Halls
future plans, but it is to be sincerely
hoped that he may decide to remain in

family have made many friends dur
ing their residence here. Mr.. Free
has been connected with this concern
for many years, the firm formerly be-
ing Free and Morrison.
About four years ago, the late Dan
iel Morrison sold his interests in the
company to John Mutchler. The bust
ness has grown and is now recognized
as one of the most substantial indus
trial enterprises in the county. We
understand that the business of the

same lines in the future as in the past
catering to the public in all sirIs of
building material and coal. AS stated
in recent issue, the company is
splendidly equipped to handle any
kind of building job. To give per-
feet satisfaction and to compete in
prices with any similar institution in
the state.
