INCOME TAX-WHO LIABLE

In view Of the fact that the last
day Of March must see every in
come tax return in the hands Of
the inland revenue collector, Mr..
j. w. Bailey, Of Raleigh, N. Co.,
and also that there may be some
people who have little idea how
stringent and unyielding is this
federal law, violation of which
calls for the utmost penalty Of
$4,000, or Imprisonment, it is
probably a propitious moment to
give an outline Of who are re-
quired to make these returns and
what the exemptions are.
First let us say the income tax
law has been revised since last
year and the exemptions greatly
reduced SO that every man who
makes a reasonable income is af-
fected by this new law, to the ex-
tent OF making a return whether
he has to pay the tax or not.
A single man earning an income
Of $1,000 must make return
though if he earn this exact a
mount, and no more, he will not
be required to pay any tax.
For married man he is allow
ed $1,000. and two hundred dol
lars extra exemption for each
child under eighteen years Of age
or, if a child over that age be de-
fective, then the 5000. exemption
will also be allowed.
Remember in no case is a man
allowed to deduct his living ex-
penses before reporting his net in
come, except in regards to foods
raised by himself, such as garden
truck which is consumed by the
family, but if any Of this is sold
then the proceeds from such sale
must be reported as part income.
Ii wife has a separate income
then she is allowed an exemp-
ton Of 81 900 and her husband an
exemption Of $1,000, or they may
file joint report and claim a
joint exemption Of $4,000.
A farmer having grain or crops
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1918-03-08

sold, does not include such crops
in his income report for the year
1917, or until it is turned into
money, then he reports it as in
come. For instance, a crop was
raised in 1916 but unsold on Dec.
81, 1916, and disposed Of for mon
ey, or it's equivalent on January
l, 1917, the farmer must make re-
turn Of that sale, as income, on
his 1917 tax report.
IF an employer agrees to pay
a certain STIPULATED salary, and
board and loom, such employee
must estimate the value Of such
board and lodging and add to the
amount Of income received, and
if same equals ST 900 for a single
man or $4,000 for married man,
he must make the return, even
though he has no tax to pay.
A merchant carrying a stock Of
goods must make inventory to
which must be added the cost O.
the goods purchased during 1917,
and the difference between the
amount thus obtained and the
total Of his inventory, taken at
the close Of the tax year, plus his
total gross receipts, is the amount
to be reported under gross income.
Gross receipts should not be re-
ported under "gross income" and
the cost Of the goods purchased
claimed as a deduction.
Deductions will be allowed only
for such amounts Of business ex-
pense actually paid out during
1917 In the conduct Of such bust
ness, trade or profession. This
includes all amounts actually paid
by farmer for labor in preparing
for crop and the cultivation.
harvesting and marketing Of the
crop; the cost Of the seed and the
fertilizer used; the cost Of stock
purchased for the purpose Of re-
sale. Amounts actually paid for
repairs to farm buildings, but not
the dwelling house; repairs to
fences and farm machinery; the
cost OF materials and farm tools.
and the rent paid for farm.
A merchant may claim as de-
ductlons the amount paid for adj
vertising, hire Of clerks, and other
employees; the cost Of fuel, light,
water telephone, drayage and
freight bills; the cost Of operating
delivery wagons, trucks and the
repairs Of same.
A professional man may claim
deductions for supplies used by
him in the practice Of his profess
sion, expenses in the operation
and repairs Of automobile used in
making professional calls, dues to
societies and subscription to pro-
fessional journals, together with
rent, light, fuel, water, telephone
and hire Of office assistants.
Items Of personal expense or
items in connection with the s,1n-
port, maintenance and well-being
OF family are not allowed nor
are amounts which are more or
less permanent in character nor
for the cost Of medical law and
professional books, amounts ex-
pended III making permanent i'm
provements or betterments Of any|
kind whatsoever, allowable as
as deductions. These latter are
held to be investment Of capital
upon which depreciation NAV be
claimed.

ABILENE MAN OPPOSES
FERGUSON

A. n. Kirby Of Abilene, In an ar
ticle published in thu Abilene Re-
porter says;
Public office is a public trust. not
a private snap. Public officers are
public servants and should at least
be held amenable TO as high code OF
morals as a private citizen.
THE undisputed evidence. the adj
missions OF Mr.. Ferguson and the
result Of the impeachment proceed
ings establish beyond question that
he is not a suitable man 10 be gov
ernor Of Texas.
"He used s5.6OO.00 OF the Canyon
Normal fund to pay his personal
debts.
"Mr. Ferguson's frlenos claim the
misappllca,ion Of the ;6,600.OO was
made by one Hughes. n II be ad-
mittod. the fact remains that Mr..
Ferguson received from The bank a
statement showing that the msappll-
cation had been made. and yet did
nothing to correct this for nearly
two years II he knew about II, as
he must have. he was guilty OF VIC
latlon Of the penal law and a flag
rant breach Of the moral law; u he
did not know about It, II demon
strates that he is too careless" with
the peoples money to be entrusted
with It's management.
There is not a bank, business
house or business man IN Abilene
who would retain an empioye guilty
OF the things Mr. Ferguson admits.
yet these business men are asked
to vindicste Mr. Ferguson by voting
TO replace him n the highest office
in the gift Of the people.
They and the citizens OF Abilene
and Taylor county are asked TO place
upon him and HIS acts the stamp OF
their approval and give him license
to do the same things again or any
thing he pleases
