Dear ~ e. Friends;
Your column OF JAMS was so interesting,
am begging admission. The poem by my
favorite author was much enjoyed, also the
beautiful expression of sympathy for Capt.
Chatto, though the article on Christmas
books, must admit WAS wha. held my
thoughts the longest. Two little volumes
came to me at Yuletide, which are q great
comfort. / would like to place them in eve-y
home. One is collection OF good thoughts
by different writers, the other is Drummond's
The Greatest Thing in the World 1t
touches on love SO spiritually, so humanity,
that one is instantly moved to live it. Il is
one of those rare books which lifts US up
above the sordid things Of everyday life.
/ always feel free to recommend a good book
to anyone; it is so different from recon-
mending a friend, humanity is ever
and always changing, but a good book is
always the same.
will close with thanking sill NJ. BIS for
their helpful and interesting letters in the
past, with a strong hope of some time meeting
them all in a body, in the flesh"
Yours with much interest,
Lovingly yours,
Mrs. 4. NJ.

Mrs. A. NJ, you are one of Us now, and
we shall be glad to hear from you again.

Before closing this series of articles

| Before closing this series Of articles
it would seem the part Of wisdom to
refer again to the normal tax and with
some reference to other matters that
have been touched upon.
| The individual should remember that
there are three incomes to be consid-
ered-first, gross income; second, net
income, which Is found by deducting
all allowances indicated heretofore,
and. third. the taxable income, which
is found by subtracting tie allowed ex-
emptions from net income.
The normal tax for the single person
begins on the excess of $1,000 net in
come. after making allowable deductions
1t continues up to $4,000; where. under
the act of 1916, the 2 per cent normal
tax therein provided is added to the nor
NAL tax of the act of 1917, making the
.~~ "e~t on the e~cess of $4,000
up to $4,000, where the added taxes, un-
u.r The ACT OF 1917 started.
Under the act of 1916. the per cent
normal tax therein provided for. con-
tinues to $40, 200, where Surtaxes on ex-
cess therein provided for. begins.
For a married person. the normal tax
begins at the excess of $1,000 net income,
after allowable deductions. and the 2 per
begins at the excess of $4,000 net income.
On the excess 5000. the added taxes
start under the act Of 1917. and at the
excess of 100000 the surtax Of the 1915
act begins
The schedule of added and war taxes
is in addition to the normal tax and
starts under the act of 1916 at the ex-
cess of taxable income over $4,000 and
under the act of 1917 at excess of tax
able income over $4,000 and not over
$500. / per cent; over $500 and not
over $4,000 taxable income, 2 per cent
additional; over $4,000 and not over
$12,500 of taxable income, 3 per cent;
over s12.500 and not over $4,000 tax
but not over $4,000 of taxable income.
5 per cent: from $4,000 to $4,000 the
excess taxable income over the former
is per cent; from $4,000 to $4,000
the excess of taxable income over the
former amount pays 10 per cent. The
scale continues to incomes of $2,OO0,O00,
where 63 per cent is asked. Then, too,
the graduated schedule of surtaxes un-
der the act Of 1916 is added after tax
able income increases beyond the
twenty-thousand-d d-dollar mark.
These figures were plainly showed in
tables published on Tuesday.
Then if you are a professional man.
or happen to derive your entire income
from wage or salary, after your tax
able income has reached the six-thou-
sand dollar mark you will be subject
to per cent tax on all taxable income
in excess of $4,000.
A married person with a ten-thou-
sand dollar income from salary. none
of it from dividends would. under the
act of 1916, pay 2 per cent on the ex-
cess over $4,000 net income, or $120.
Then. under the act of 1917. per
cent additional on the excess over
$4,000 net income-the exemption for
married persons-or $3.50.

$4,000 and not over $500. under the
act of 1917-$25.
Then 2 per cent on the excess of
$500 and not over s10,000-$50.
Then per cent on the taxable in

QUERIES ANSWERED.

In SO far as possible Mr.. Fleming
will answer queries relating to the in
come tax in it's bearing on the indi-
vidual) .-.--.
H. B. L. desires to be informed in re-
Iation to the tax on dividends received
in collection with speculative tran
saction.
Dividends are tax free, under the act
of 1916, until $4,000 is reached, when
they become subject to the surtax, and
to $4,000 under act of 1917. The cor
poration pays the per cent tax. AS
you made no profit on the transaction.
Had you made profit you might Offset
the loss. but that is all. You cannot
deduct interest on funds borrowed to
buy securities.
A. 1.-The information given by you
regarding money on deposit in the bank
or elsewhere was for the purpose OF
fixing your intangible property tax. The
income tax is to help in the conduct OF
the war and the operations Of gov
ernment. 1t is a tax on income in ex-
cess of certain amounts, not on money
in bank. Schedules will be ready in a
few days. Your banker will proba bly, be
able to give a form as soon as ready.
Payments may be made in INSTALL
ments if desired: 25 per cent of esti-
mated taxes within thirty days. from
January l. 1915; 25 per cent within two
months and 25 per cent within four
months, and the remainder, II any, on
date due on or before June Is, 1918. The
Secretary of the Treasury authorizes
the payments as suggested. not in ex-
cess Of the amount of the tax, and will
allow per cent per annum on all
amounts SO paid in advance.
w. B. bad debts are deductable-
but they must be very bad. II they are
subsequently paid after being charged
of, they must be included in the next
years income tax figures.
r. s. P.-Deductions may be made for
wear and tear, depreciation of property
from which income is obtained. but no
deductions are allowable for repairs,
unless their cost is first deducted from
the full amount of the depreciation.
building is, given at twenty-five years.
Deduct per cent annually from first
cost. Each taxpayer must determine
his own depreciation of property. and
if reasonable his deductions will prob
ably be allowed.
The law declares that only such de-
duction as results from exhaustion,
wear and tear arising from use in busi-
ness or trade is allowable.
: No depreciation is allowed for home
or on automobiie-the property must be
used to produce income.
No depreciation is allowable for
changes in the character of sneighbor-
hood or property. exhaustion Of land,
etc.

also taxes other than for special pur-
poses may be deducted from rent.
Special taxes include paving nearby

about 100000 checks each month. A
pay system of automatic accounting
has been devised so that the work is
