10 not affected by the 1917 law. But
the man who Is able. to bear q share
of the burden has been reached by
the new law. and he should accept his
responsibility In the same patriotic
spirit, that our young men have shown
in offering themselves for this great
purpose, of the country to. make the
world safe for people of all kinds to
live In and to govern themselves"
This tax is one which recognizes
women as on an equal basis with men.
The unmarried woman or the married
woman with salary must make tax
return just the same as any man. Only
the woman supporting her mother or
other members of her family may take
out $1,000 exemption.
Under the law the head of the faml-
ly is the one whose earning power con-
tributes to the family's support.
Similarly widow with small chill
dren to support can take out $1,000
exemption and 5000 additional exemp-
ton for each of her children under
eighteen. Thus II Is Intended that
the law shall work no hardship to wO-
men having to struggle to get along.
But each must file return If her in
come is $1,000.
A man whose wife dies and who Is
left with small children to support
upon moderate income may also take
full exemption under the new tax law
and also claim 500 exemption for
each of his children under eighteen.
The widOwer under the law IL a
single man and must make tax re-
turn accordingly. Married men need
not file returns unless they are earn
ing $1,000 or more.
"This is as much national Obliga-
ton as the reporting for duty of man
drafted for service with the colors."
says d. G. Roper, commissioner of in
ternal revenue. "As 1t stands, 1t Is
much a matter of the man or wo-
mans own conscience. II is for him
or for her to determine just how far
he Ia liable to the tax. He must figure
his own income and If 1t reaches the
figures named in the law must make
faithful report upon 1t to the proper
authority.
This tax is distinctly a war meas
ure and will be In effect during the
war.
