tor and the tax assessor recently. ac- cording to James Hawkins and D. E. Mcendon.
 As matter of explanation. however, the tax is not collected in thi scity nor is it handled in any way by the of ficials of the various counties in the state.
 J. $. Mooring, chairman of the state tax commission, has compiled sum mary of the provisions of the tax, ana what methods the citizens of this state must take to properly make their re- turns.
 The state income tax provisions are very similar 10 those of the federal gov ernment measure, accodring to MT Mooring Any person who makes fed eral returns is included under the state law, both naming S1000 for single per- sons and $2000 for married, as the maximum income exempt from taxa tion
 They are similar in that the state law requires information returns from employers as to amounts paid to em- ployes, just as the federal statue.
 The measure which was passed by the last legislature requires that each person must file returns within 30 days after the federal returns are made. If a person files federal returns on Jan uary l. then his state returns become delinquent within 30 days from that time. This is one feature of the law that the commissioners are laying much stress upon in order that con fusion may be avoided.
 The blanks for making the returns may be secured after January 1, f90, on application from the state commission at Montgomery The blanks must be filled in and returned to the commits sion, which will go over them and then notify each taxpayer what amount IS due. This sum should then be remitted to the state treasurer by the individual.
 The rate of taxation ranges from 7 ner cent on incomes exceeding 5000 tc 4 per cent on incomes exceeding Sl5'- oO0 As the federal tax was reduced this year from to 4 per cent on this class of income, the combined state anu federal tax this year will be practically the same as the federal tax alone last Vpar.
