THIS TELLS HOW, To
FIGURE INCOME TAX
SquareIy Up to Every Individual
to Get Busy by March Is
or Suffer Penalty.

Don't wait until the final due date.
March 10, for paying your Income Tax
and making your return. Avoid the
last minute rush. Any person can fig-
ure out his liability :oday as well as he
can next week, and If there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get in touch with Revenue man."
This word of advice is from Edward
Il. Craig, Collector of Internal Reve-
nue., Nashville, who is collecting the
Income Tax in Tennessee. Collector
Craig is giving without charge every
aid OF his office and his enlarged field
force to help the people get their pay
mepts and their returns in by March
18th.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your coat-tails,
according to the Collectors announce
ment. 1t is squarely up TO every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy if he comes within the
scope of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Huch7
Every IHLldIIIcu pciSoH WIN iC-
ceived income averaging $1925 a week
during 1918 and every married couple
who Jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank blank Form 1910 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the government.
The law requires that every unmar-
red person who had net income OF
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was $1,000 or
over (includfng the income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, If any must make return
on or before March 10TH And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes tax.
Taxable Income.
An individual must include under
gross income all gains, profits and in
come derived from salaries, wages or
compensation for personal service of
whatever kind and in whatever form
paid or from professions, vocations,
business, sales or dealings in property
of all kinds. interest, rent, dividends
or profits derived from any source
whatever. Very few items of income
are exempt.
Deductions include ordinary and nee
cSsary business expenses, interest paid
or accrued on Indebtedness, taxes OF
all kinds except Federal income and
excess profits taxes and assessments
for local benefits, losses actually suS-
tanned, debts nScertained to he worth
less and depreciation on buildings, ma
chlnery, fixtures, etc, used in business.
A further deduction Is allowed for con-
tributions to corporations operated for
religious, charitable. scientific or edu-
cational purposes or for the prevention
of cruelty TO children or animals to an
amount not exceeding Is per cent OF
the taxpayers net income as computed
without the benefit of the contribution
deduction.
The taxpayer is not allowed to de-
duct any personal. living or family ex-
pense, any amount spent for improving
property or any expense of restoring
property or making good It's exhaus-
ton for which an allowance is claimed
under depreciation.
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1919-03-06
Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. AS in previous years. divi-
dends of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by tie stakeholder
The normal tax rates for citizens
ard residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 Of net income in excess OF
the credits the rate is per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
II per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net In
come of each individual in excess of
$4,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductibie before
computing surtaX. In the case of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net in
come Of each is considered separately
in computing any surtaX that may be
due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $4,000, and the instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and Others who paid
wages. salaries, rents, interest or Sim
liar detcrminable gains in an amount
Of $1,000 or over during 1913 to any
person must file an information return
with the Government. Blanks may he
secured from the Collector.
Every partnership msst file return
showing lis income and deductions and
the name and address of each partner,
with his share of the profits or losses
during the, past year Personal service
corporations will file similar iniorma-
ton for 1918

TRUCK |. DAD
Of bARRELL.E:[)
TAKE n
by SHERIFF:
Capture of $1,500 Worth of
Liquor Is Made just as
Truck Creeps Over Impe-
rial County Line.

From the fact that Sheriff Charles
NJ. Applestill has bright eye, a keen
nose and an adroit sense of detection,
Z. g. Cocheron, a motor truck driver
of Los Angeles, owes his present mis-
fortune of being a prisoner in the
county Jail.
Also the same factors are to blame
for the holding eff his motor truck
and a shipment Of $500 worth OF
liquor
Arrested late yesterday by Sheriff
Applestill, while the latter was on
oner, Gocheron was today formally
charged in a complaint issued through
the district attorneys office with
transporting liquor through OF
across Imperial county
The alleged shipment of liquor con-
sists of twenty barrels Of beers, con
signed from a San Diego wholesale
liquor house to John Larson IN
the valley. 1t is said to be worth
between S140o and S1600, thus rep
resenting a sizable fortune in wet
goods.
Cocheron was intercepted at Noun
tain Springs by the sheriff, whose
eagle eye spotted the presence Of The
many suspicious barrels aboard I'll
truck. Finding the cargo consisted
of beer, the sheriff made his identity
known to the truck driver and ordered
him to report at the county Jail il
this city.
Cocheron told the officers that h,
was guiltless in tie matter He say
! he came to the Valley few day:
ago on a contract to hau, melons
that he was ordered to go to the Coas
to transport the beer to Blake SPRING
where another truck was to take th'
load. He claims all he knows abou
the matter is the note he carried t
turn tie liquor over TO q man know
as John Larson.
Aside from the mans story, the Of
ficers to date have no cleW to h
! real ownership of the liquor, Whei
, arrested Cocheron was just over tn
line in Imperial county. He will b.
prosecuted en- a charge of transport
ing intoXicants in violation of tn
county's bond dry law.
