Washington, ID. C.-Work on the

the new revenue bill The income tax
provisions of the act reach the pocket

1918 was $1,000, or more, and of every
married person whose net income was

come equalled or exceeded these am
uonts, according to their marital status
must file return of income with the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which they live on or be-
fore March IS.
Here is what will happen to them
if they don't; for failure to file re-
turn on time, a fine of not more than
81, 900 and an additional assessment
of 25 per cent of the amount of tax
due
For "willfully refusing" to make a
return on time, fine not exceeding
$4,000 or not exceeding one years
imprisonment, or both.
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn, fine of not more than $4,000
or Imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both, together with m
additional assessment of so per cent

For failure to pay the tax on time
fine of not more than 81 900 and an
additional assessment of per cent

In addition to the $1,000 and $4,000
personal exemptions, taxpayers are
allowed an exemption of 5000 for
each person dependent upon them for
chief support ii such person is under
eighteen years of age and incapable

in four installments, on or before
March IS, on or before June Is, on
or before September Is, and on or

Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in making out their returns.
The date of their arrival and the loca-
ton of their Offices may be ascertain
ed by inquiring at Offices of collectors
of internal revenue, postoffices and
banks. Failure to see these officers,
however, does not relieve the tax
payer of his obligation to file his re-
turn and pay his tax within the time
specified by law. In this case taxpay-
ers must seek the Government, not
the Government the taxpayer

THE o,Mocsk1s CONFESSIONAL.

When this coal strike IS over and
the home fires are burning once again
he controversy vii! stand out as a
confessional OF the Wilson Mead doc
war administration. Wilson's coal ad-
u?!Distrator. Garfield, has come ror-
ward with the confession that he fixed
the price Of coal so exceedingly high
that many mine owners made more
money GU: OF their coal mines than
they had ever made before n their
lives. TIE average man knew 1t and
wondered why he must be plundered
by government price axtng, but his
spirit Of patriotic sacrifice prevented
complaint during the war.
Now comes son-in-law McAdoo with
the confession that he, as secretary Of
the treasury, had access to the Income
tax returns and had seen with his own
eyes that mine owners were making
outrageous profits at the prices a1ed
for them by the administration In
which he was dominant force him
self. He lacked the sense Of propr!ety
which graced GarAeld's confession. for
he proposed that the negro and the
Italian and other foreign-born laborere
who have been digging coal at $40

lower-wage people at prices fixed for
coal by the democratic administration.
