On this basis, taxes on net incomes or profits in excess Of certain deductions are at the rate of 20 per cert, of the amount of net in- come in excess of the deduction and not in excess of 15 per cent on the invested capital; p per cent on the amount in excess of 15 per cent and not in excess of 20 per cent; 35 per cent on the amount in excess of 20 per cent and not in excess of 25 per cent; 40 per cent on the amount in excess of 25 per cent and not in eX- cess of 33 per cent; and 60 per cent. on the amount in excess of 33 per cent.

Before tax is levied on excess pro- its, for 1917, a business is permitted 10 make the same percentage of pro- fits on it's invested capital that it made on its invested capital during 1911, 1912, and 1913, the so-caIIed "pre-war" period, providing this is not more than nine per cent. and $3,- 900 additional for a corporation or S6,OOO for a partnership or individual.

INCOME TAX NOW DUE GOVERNMENT
 OF THE NATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. - The great task of gathering income tax and excess profits has begun.
 Every unmarried person earning more than Sl,OOO during the last year, and every married person or head of a family who made more than $2,OOO, must file with the internal revenue collector of his district a report any time between now and March 1. He will be notified before June of the tax due, and payment will be due by June l5.
 The government expects to receive 21.2O1 ,OCO,OOO from income taxes be- fore July l, including $66G,OOO,OOO from individuals and S535,00O,OOO from corporations. This is more than one third of the $3,4OOOOO,OOO esti- mated receipts under the war revenue act passed by Congress at the last session.
 From excess profits taxes, the gov cnment expects to realize about $1,- 22O,OOO,OOO before July 1,
 The rate of tax for a married man or the head of family is per cent. on the amount of his net income eX- ceodng S3OOO, but less than$4,0O0, and 4 per cent. on the amount of his net income above $4,OO, but less than 5000. An unmarried person not the head of a family will pay 2 per cent. on the amount of net income above SI .OOO but less than $3,OOO, and 4 per cent on the net income above $3,OOO but less than S500O.
 Extra Heavy
 An extra levy, or surtaX, in addj- tion to the normal tax, is imposed on incomes above S5OOO, so that the amount of income between 5000 and S75OO is subject to a total income tax, including both normal and extra, of 5 per cent; and between $500 and $lO,- GOO, per cent. The surtax further increases with higher incomes, so that amounts of SI,OOO,OOO are taxable at 65 per cent with one per cent. addi- tional for each half million up to two million dollars. All incomes over the latter amount are taxable at G7 per cent.
 Heads of Families
 Typical income tax Ievies on heads of families are as follows; Income of S2.5OO. tax is S1O; income of $&,OOO, tax is S2O; income of $S,5OO, tax is S8O; income of $4OOO, tax is $40; m- come of $I5OO, tax is SGO, income Of S5OOO, tax is $50.
 Unmarried Mems Tax
 Unmarried persons would pay in this way; Income of $l,5OO tax is $1O; income of S2OOO, tax is S2O; income Of S25OO tax is $3O; income of S@OOO, tax is $40; income of S8,5OO, tax is SGO; income of S4,OOO, tax is S8O; in- come of S45OO, tax is $lOO; income of S5OOO, tax is $12O
 Taxes may be paid in four install ments between now and June 15, if this arrangement is preferred, but the Treasury will open a determined cam paign soon to encourage persons to pay their tax in full immediately, and receive interest on inc advance pay mcnt.

Seven Million to Pay

About 7OOO,OOO persons will pay in come taxes, it iS estimated, and most will be subject to a direct federal tax for the first time, for less than 5OO 900 paid income taxes last year under the old law. Tax return forms have been made as simple as possible, those for incomes of less than $3,00O being especially free from technical lectures or mQuisitorial items.
 Corporations will pay income taxes also, but on a different basis. Their net income is subject to g. tax of 6 per cent under the new war revenue act and certain technical deductions

Accountants at WOrI,

A small army of accountants, es- pecially trained for the work in schools conducted by district collect ors for the past two weeks, have gone into the field to assist persons in fil- ing their returns, and will travel on pre-al1anged itineraries for a month or more. In addition, federal agricul- twal agents, and representatives of state and county councils of national defense, have enlisted in the campaign of education. By this extensive cam paign of education, Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper hopes to eGmin- ate the chances of failure to file a re- turn through ignorance of the require ments
 In fact, officials in charge of the tax gathering machine expect to eh- minate the usual grudging spirit of taxpayers. They have called this a "Libegty Tax" because 'ts proceeds % to the same war cause as the Iib- erty Bond issues, and every efort will be made to encourage the spirit of willing giving among those on whom the tax falls.
