man in the military or naval service,
either as an enlisted man or an of
ficer, is wholly exempt from taxa
tion, provided this does not exceed
$3,500. Income of soldiers or sailors
from private sources is taxable, how
ever, if it exceeds the exemptions.
In figuring net incomes, deductions
may not be made for personal, fam

Deductions Allowed
The law does provided for num-

gross income, and these are of inter-

Expenses paid or incurred during
1918 carrying on any trade or
reasonable allowance for salaries.
