HOW TOFICURE
INCOME TAX
FORPAYMENI

Exactly how to figure the amount
OF income tax one must pay is ex
planned by David j. Williams, United
States collector of internal revenue
for the Seattle district. Mr.. Williams
said the collection of the 1919 internal
revenue taxes in the district, which
are expected to be the largest in the
history of the law, will begin at once
and not at some future time when
congress passes the new revenue bill
His statement follows:
The income tax obligation imposed
by the old laws, as we'll as the meas
ure now in congress, consist of two
distinct operations. One is to file re-
turn or statement of all items of in
come and items of deduction allow
able by law, and to do this within the
period named in the law. The other
Is to pay the tax If any Is DUE
Neither of these obligations can be
met without a careful review of in.
come and expenditure for the tax
year. That is the big job right now,
and that is why say the income tax
drive is already under way. Every
where the pencil is busy. The old
year is done; all it's fruits are cleaned
and every person who Jared we'll or
earned good competence must an.
alyze his own case in cold figures.
To Distribute Return Forms
When the new bill is enacted into
law l will have the proper return
forms distributed throughout the dis
trict, and everybody will be informed
of the date when the sworn return
must be filed. 1t is my plan to send
my men out to central locations and
to have them travel through the dis
trict, aiding taxpayers in the prepara-
ton of the returns and in deciding
doubtful points, We will go right to
the people with the income tax, and
with the cooperation which the peo-
pie can give the government men, the
returns will be filed by everybody who
comes under the laws provisions, the
right taxes will be paid, and the dis
trict will have done it's fun patriotic
duty toward the governments sup
port.
Meanwhile, let me say again, there
is no need OF delaying the ASPIRATION
of figures. Anything that congress
does now will not affect tie amount
of persons earrings for 1918. Let
us avoid the belated throwing to.
gether Of figures that may hit or miss.
Guesses can not be accepted as the
basis OF taxation. It is clearly the
duty of every person to compile cor.
rect figures and ascertain whether his
income for 1918 was sufficient to make
necessary sworn return.
The year 1918 was a banner year for
salaries and wages, and the high war
prices brought unusual profits to the
farmer. The opinion in Washington,
D. c., is that a million citizens and

Contributions or Gifts

Contributions or gifts actually made
in 1918 to organizations operating ex-
clusively for religious, charitable sci
entific or education purposes, and to
societies for the prevention of cru
city to children or animals, may be
deducted to an amount not exceeding
Is per cent of the net income COM
puted without the benefit Of this de-
duction.
After the total of all income is
found, and the deductions allowable
by law have been computed as an
offset, the amount of income in ex-
cess of such deductions is the net
income, which forms the basis of the
assessment of tax.
II every person in this district will
examine his own 1918 income and his
allowable deductions in line with data
that | have given, he will know be-
yond doubt whether he must file his
return when the blanks arrive And
here is how he will determine his liza
bllity to file return. If he is single
he must file if his net income was
$1,000 or more, and this requirement
is enforced whether or not he is the
head of family. If he is married,
he must file his return if his net in
come, including that of his wife and
minor children, was $4,000 or more.
Plans to Compute
l want to emphasize the co-opera-
ton feature of the collection of the
income tax this year. The policy OF
the internal revenue bureau is to aid
taxpayers to meet the requirements
of the law. We are going right to the
people, not to swing clubs or to mulct
the wage Garner of his savings, but
offering every helpful government
function that will assist people to do
their duty.
Income tax blanks for the year 1918
will be distributed as soon after the
enactment of the new law as possible.

A strange letter reached the Prince
Of Wales not very long since from a
small Indian village at the foot OF
the Himalayas. II was written on =
piece of dried ,iger-skin, apparently
with a pointed stick and some red
dye. The writer stated that his father
had had the honor OF escorting the
late King Edward when he went
tiger shooting in the jungle and ex-
pressed the hope that should the
prince ever feel inclined to attempt
the ascent of the llimalayas. the
prince would honor him by accepting
him as one OF his guides for that
somewhat hazardous adventure.
