But income from dividends must .be
reported.
Under the old law the surtaX on
incomes starts at $4,000: under the
law OF October 3, 1917, excess OF $5,-
600 income, after exemptions. is sub
ject to graded scale of taxes.
Dividends after passing the $4,000
mark become amenable to the surtaX
under the law of September s, 1916.
Merchants in preparing their sched-
ules should understand the payments
for merchandise under the Install
ment plan count as income; that mer-
chants may also make claims for de-
ductions for the hire of clerks and
other employees, for the cost of light,
fuel, ETC.. freight, delivery wagons
trucks, etc, but not for the cost of
goods. Wages to minor children can
not be deducted.
A physician is allowed to claim for
the cost of medicines used, for the
operation and repair of automobile in
which he makes calls, subscriptions
to medical journals and even for eX-
penses resulting for his attendance
on medical conventions; the cost of
fuel and light for office, for water
and for office rent. even if using a

THE INCOME TAX and The INDIVIDUAL
BY !. A. FLEMING
WASHINGTON, D. c.
ARTICLE NO. 3

1t is within the probabilities that
Congress, soon after the holiday re-
cess. will repeal that section of the
law which makes senators. represent
atives, judges of the Federal courts
and even the President now in office
exempt from the income tax, in
which event they would come under
the law which imposes a plain per
cent. on all incomes in excess of
$4,000 under the excess profits section
of the law which places this tax on
incomes derived from professions,
etc, where there is no invested cap
ital. In fact, the House has repealed
the section.
A decision has also been made re-

pealed in the immediate future by

heVed TO be matter of a few days.
Entitled to $1,000 Exemption
A single person. the head of a fam
lily, is entities to $4,000 exemption.
a Treasury dicision thus defines the
term head of a family" used in the
sense indicated-"a person who ac-
tually supports one or more individ-
uals connected with him or her by
| blood relationship. relationship by
marriage or adoption, or whose rela-
ton Is based on some moral or legal
obligation"
1t is sufficiently plain and the
reader may understand his rights in
the matter.
That one is not a citizen does not
relieve him from the obligation of fill
ing an income tax schedule-indeed ed
the tax is more burdensome on aliens
| than on citizens.
a citizen is a person born or nat
uralized in the United States; citi-
zen of any other country than the
United States whose domicile is in
| the United States, who has therein
| his principal business, and who is
| therein permanently occupied or en-
| ployed, even though his domicile is
| without the United States, is held to
be citizen of the United States.
The income tax laws cover every
citizen residing in the United States
and this includes the territories of
Alaska and Hawaii and the District
of Columbia.
Gross income means the gains,
profits and incomes for the full cal
endar year. or by the fiscal year, as
taxpayer so keeps his accounts.
Free of All Normal Taxes
Income from dividends is free all
normal taxes, and this is a very i'm
portant matter for schedulemakers to
keep in mind. The reason for this
is that corporations pay per cent
corporation tax to the Government.

You would laugh aplenty II you

for polar expedition, and not a
worry chasing one, for l feel quite
sure q letter from me does chase
such little things. We are all dressed
up in our fur-lined animation suits
and foot-warmers which were not
given to us to write letters with, but
to warm us while flying at high alti-
tudes. Another thing that won't
seem so strange is the fact that four
different kinds of candy surround us
and they are going down fast. You

for so long it went to his head. He
went on a spree right away. Not a
drinking one, you understand, but a
candy one, for he has as sweet a
tooth as mine. The sad part of it
was that only six little slabs of
chocolate were allowed each of us,
and that only made us hungry, so
five minutes later l was back with
different hat, and minus my fur
coat, for another crack at the choco-
lates. Six more small chunks was all

Yes, if your little boy is not sick to-

GRAVE POLITICAL
CRISIS OF ENEMY
REGARDED FARCE;

London, Sept. 23.-Although re-
ports of a German political crisis
arising from the supposed move
ment for parliamentarization OF the
government in the papers here
the situation is watched With mild
interest for any possibilities 1t may
contain, and the whole thing is
regarded as merely an integral part
OF the German peace offensive.
1t is recalled that since the war
broke out the reassembling OF the
reichstag frequently has been pre-
ceded by an outbreak of excited talk
in German circles. This has Gre
ated a temporary "thundery' at
mosphere during which some rev.
olutionary bomb has been predicted
but which never has fallen.
The Telegraph. discussing the
rumors. says that this IS the eighth
political "crisis" in the course of
the war and adds all of them have
left things very much as they were
before"
