The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-02-28

Every man and woman in the coun-
try whose income, if single, is above
$1,00, or if married, whose income is.
above $4,000, must pay an income tax.
under the new war revenue bill.
The personal exemptions in the pro-
posed new law, 81, 1000 for single men
and women, $4,000 for married men
or heads of families, and 200 for each
depesdent child, or other person who
is under 18 years of age, or, if over
that age, is physically or mentally in
capable of self support, are the same
as in the present income tax law.
The tax rates, however have been con-
siderably increased over existing rates
the Washington Star finds in an ex-
animation of the law.
Normal Tax II per cent.
The income tax is levied on the net
income for the calendar year 1918 un-
der the new bill. The normal tax is
IL per cent of the net income, which
is ascertained by first obtaining the
gross income and then deducting the
credits and exemptions allowed under
the proposed law. In the case of a
citizen or resident of the United
States, however, the tax rate upon the
first $4,000 of this excess amount, or
net income, is fixed at per cent.
This means that every one living in
the United States who is subject to
the war income tax will have to pay
per cent on the first $4,000, or any
part thereof, of his net income, with
IL per cent on all over $4,000 Alien
nonresidents of the United States hav-
ing property here will be taxed on
their income from that property to the
extent of the full IL per cent of the
normal tax.
Tax Fixed for Future
The bill also fixes the tax on in
comes received in 1919 and each year
thereafter until the law is amended or
repealed, reducing the normal tax to
per cent, with proviso that citizens
and residents of the United States
shall pay only per cent on the first
$4,000 or any part thereof of their
net income, and per cent on all in
excess of $4,000.
In addition to the normal tax,
there are the surtaxes, which begin
to run when a mans net income
passes the $4,000 mark. The surtax
is 1 per cent of the net income in ex-
cess of $4,000 and not more than
$4,000. The surtax increases there
after / per cent for every $4,000 of
increase in the income, until it becomes
48 per cent of the amour by which
the net income exceeds $4,000 and
does not exceed 100000.
Change in Surtax Rates
The surtax rates change by l per
cent on each $4,000 of added net in

up to 100000, and then more rap
idly. A man having an income of
$4,000 will pay the following sur
taxes: 1 per cent, or $40 on that part
of his income from $1,000 to $4,000; 2
per cent, or $40, on that part of his
income from $4,000 to $4,000; 8 per
cent, or $50, on that part of his in
come from $4,000 to $4,000. These
surtaxes are in addition, it must be
remembered, to his normal tax.
The surtaxes are not computed on
the income of a man having $4,000
a year at 3 per cent on all income
above $1,000, as might be imagined at
first. glance.
Two steps must be taken before
computing any income tax. The first
is to figure out the gross income and

BIG IMPORTS OF MEAT

So many are the disadvantages
of marketing his livestock thru
the packing trust that the Ameri-

the bearing of the fact that this
trust has a grip on South Ameri-
can production too. 1t can thus
play the farmers of Argentina
and Brazil against ours and ours
against those abroad. When they
want to put down prices to the
farmer here, they can ship in stuff
from abroad to meet their trade
and hold off the buying market.

Inasmuch as the baseball bug has
gotten its stinger in working order
again, and has visited lower Delaware

a league composed Of six clubs. In the

secure Cambridge, Salisbury and Eas-
