HOW TO FIGURE
YOUR Income TAX.

Basil Manly. the economic expert of
the Newspaper Enterprise Association.
in AN article just prepared, tells how to
figure the amount you will have to pay
as income tax
Income tax blanks can be procured
from any collector of internal revenue.
How much income tax have got
to pay?'
In order to answer this question.
which Uncle Sam requires from all
single men with incomes over $1,000
and and all married men with incomes
over 81, 900 before March l, you must
first know the amount of your net
income.
How do figure out my net income?"
Here's a guide in words of one syllable.
Take sheet of paper and write
down on IL the answers to the follow
ing questions;
/. How much money cid you receive
durir & 1917 in the form of wages. sal
airy, commissions. fees. or bonuses?
2. How much profit did you make in
1917 in business or in the sale of prop
erty, over and above necessary expen-
ses. interest, taxes. and allowance for
wear and tear?
3. What did you receive from the
rental of property over and above cost
of repairs and upkeep and allowances
for wear and tear"
L. How much did YOU receive as
interest on notes, mortgages. deeds OF
trust AMI sifAilar securities, or AS in
terest on bonds (except tax-free bonds)
or on bank deposits?
8. How much did you receive as IN
come from trustees or executors of
est.t Is and trusts?
.. How much money came in MS
royalties from mines. oil and gas wells,
patents. copyrights or franchises?
Under each OF these heads set down
also any income received by your wife
or any dependent child from the same
source.
ANNW WulNI YOU
have set down. Inc total is the amount
OF your gross ircome. except for divi-
bends watch are treated as a separate
item.
Write down the amount OF any divi-
dends you received during 1917, wheth-
er paid IN cash, stock, or scrip, and
add them to the gross income figure
already found. Ii the total amounts to
more than So, 900, 50 that yod become
liable for supertax, you will want TO
save this dividend figure. but if il is
less thad 5000, you can scratch the
dividend figure out and forget il. The
point is that the so-called normal tax
fiat rate applied to the entire amount
of your net income, is collected directly
from the corporations as far as dividends
are concerned and need not be paid
again by the stakeholder.
Now let's see how much your per-
sonal deductions amount to: First.
there is interest on Indebtedness. OF
course you are not allowed to duplicate
any interest that you already deducted
in connection with figuring your bust
ness profits; but you can deduct the
interest on personal debts. For ex-

THE RED CROSS DRIVE

A man ought to be pretty thankful
when he sees Red Cross solicitor come
around. If one is the right kind Of q man,
he has been feeling dissatisfied with
himself to have been doing so little for
his country.
He has been thinking that millions of
our boys soon will be standing up to the
Teuton's gun fire and their barbar0us
practises They will be taking the chan
ces Of captivity almost as bad as death,
and of wounds that win Cripple them for
life. They will be shivering in the wet
trenches, when we are comfortable in
sheltered homes.
Meanwhile here at home most Of us
are doing next to nothing. Subscribing
to Liberty Bonds, of course. But that is
merely good business investment. No
sacrifice about it at ALL Planting gar
den, let us hope. But that is merely or
ordinary prudence in times of high
prices. No sacrifice about that either.
The Red Cross solicitor gives us the
chance to make just little bit of sac
rifice in return for those who are giving
us their all. We should accept it with
joy, as just the kind Of thing we have
been wanting to do, but haven't had the
chance. How it will help us to greet the
boys when they get back, if we can feel
that every time we were asked to give
for their protection we respond cheerful
~, even if it did scrape the bottom Of our
pocket books bit.
There is no possibility Of getting too
much money. The more funds available
the better facilities, the better treatment
can be given to the wounded men, the
more Of them will come through the val
Of the shadow, and return safely to
their rejoicing friends.

THE MERCHANT MARINE

One Of the most determined opponents
of the building up of merchant marine
in this country, and q man who fought it
constantly in congress was Gustave Kus-
terman Of Wisconsin. When it was limited
in congress some years ago that his Ger
man birth and affiliations had something
to do with his attitude he challenged his
critics to prove it, which, Of course, they
could not do. 3,,5
Bob LaFollette Of Wisconsin was a
close second to Kusterman in his efforts
and during the first administration of
President Wilson he put through bill,
supported by the majority Of the admin
istration leaders in congress, that result
ed in driving all that remained of our
merchant marine on the Pacific out Of
business, the Japs even taking over the
job of carrying our mail to the Philip
pines and Hawaii Rio Grande Repub-
lie.
The LaFollettes seaman's act was put
through under the guise of a union labor
bill. It was in reality bill to encourage
foreign ship owners and wipe the Amer
lean flag off the seas and It was highly
successful and left our country helpless
from ship tonnage standpoint at the
beginning of this war. It should be re-
pealed as soon as possible to encourage
American owned merchant marine after
the war, thus assuring the future of our
shipping and ship building industry.

During the first year of the war the
Army paid SCI, 600, 900 for horse drawn
vehicles and harness; more than $50, 600
600 for horses, mules, and harness. Ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending on
June 80, 1919, for fuel and forage are
estimated at more than $500,000,000.

of Military Railways had plac2d orders
for railway supplies valued at 81 70, co.,
600 and with an aggregate weight Of
754,0O0 long tons; the General Engineer
Depot to February /, issued $500 orders
for material valued at $202,000,0O0.

THE GARDEN SPIRIT

The back yards Of our city once desert
ed, are the center of intense activity now.
Business men and housewives and me-
chanics are spading. Neighbofs who pre-
yiously scarcely ever spoke to each 9th
ser, exchange advice across the fence. The
instructions are conflicting. But the
power Of good seed to come up and bear
fruit under unfavorable conditions is
often surprising.
The automobile that used to 60 out on
a pleasure excursion now comes back
loaded with garden tools or bean poles.
The hardware and other stores are be-
sieged by seekers after seeds and imple-
mentS.
Some who never handled hoe before
last year now talk with geat confidence
az to the correct scientific method, while
others who really know more listen with
open mouths.
Chronic GROWERS complain at being
dragged into new and laborious pur-
suit. But soon they slip out to the patch
the first thing in the morning to see what
new little stranger has lifted his venture
some head above the dirt. And the last
moment of daylight shows them still try
ing to distinguish plants from weeds.
Man up to few generations ago was
an outdoor animal. When modern indus
trialism developed, we ignored the living
conditions to which our b0dits were adj
apted, and worked in congested build
ings with little fresh air. The race has
suffered enfeeblement.
Now this garden spirit helps to repro
duce the conditions under which man for
merly lived and thrived more vigorously.
There is strength giving quality in the
soil that communicates itself to human
mind and body. 81
