Federal income Tax
Officer is in Camden

In communication receive by
The Chronicle, Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue e. b. Craig announces
that Federal Income Tax Officer
will be sent into this county on
January 2, 1918, and will be here
until January 9, 1918. He will
have his Office in Camden, and will
be here every day ready and willing
TO help persons subject to the in
come tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for his
services.
How many income tax payers
will there be in Benton County?
1t you can guess how many married
persons-living with wife or husband
will have net incomes of $2, 1000 or
over and how many unmarried per-
sons will have net incomes Of 81 900
or over this year, then you know.
The Collector of Internal Revenue
estimates that there will be 800
taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before March
l, 1918. Because a. good many
people don't understand the law
aud won't know how to make out
their returns, the Government is
sending in this expert to do it for
them. But the duty is on the tax
payer to make himself known to
the Government. If he doesn't
make return as required before
March l, he may have to pay a
penalty ranging from $40 to $1,000,
pay fine or go to Jail. SO if you
don't want to take chances on going
to Jail, you better call on the income
tax meu If you are not sure about
being subject to the tax, better ask
him and make sure. Whether'you
see the income tax man or not, you
\ must make return if subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in
other counties may, il they want,to,
come and see the income tax man
at this point,
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert
arrives. Expenses, however, don't
mean family expenses, money used
to pay off the principle ola debt,
new machinery, buildings, or any,
thing like that, They mean what
you spend in making your money
interest, taxes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold, seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent, (ex-
cept for your dwelling), etc. In
cludes about every dollar you get.
