HOLDERS OF WAR
JOBS HAVE BIG
TAXES TO MEET
Munitions Workers Hard Put
TO Find Money For
Uncle Sam
ONE OLD JOKE EXPLODED
Big Plants Aid Employees by
Giving Them Statements
of Wages Earned

War workers who received high
wages in munitions plants, railroads
and at other highly paid occupations
during the war are just beginning to
learn the truth of the statement that
those who kept the home fires burn
ing have their share to do in the
struggle.
Scores of these workmen who
made S45 to $40 n week during
prosperity's crest and who are now
working at the average wage. are
hard pressed to meet the high In
come tax demanded by Uncle Sam.
money as soon as he got it and put
nothing away TO meet the tax.
The tax is six per cent. on all over
81 900 if the worker be single, and
$4,000 if married. Thus if the un-
married munition worker made ST.
500 he owes the government six per
cent. of $500 or $4S.
One Joke Exploded
The Oldest joke in the history of
governments" said an internal rev.
enue collector to-day. lis that of the
man who says: I'd be glad to pay the
tax if l had the money to pay it on.
When it comes to making good now,
it's another story"
Nearly all the larger employers of
men now are turning over to their
men a statement showing how much
money they were paid last year. The
government requires that such a
statement be filed with the internal
revenue collector. The duplicate
copy, however, helps the taxpayer
from the danger of making Il mis-
statement.
1t was explained to-day that the
tax on soft" drinks and candy is not
a floor tax such as was imposed on
tobacco and rum. Therefore retail
merchants do not have to pay a tax
on ctnnl- m, hand
