INCOME TAX DUE.
Returns Must Be Filed On Or Before
March 15-Bin Provides 4
Heavy Penalties.

Work on the collection of $6,000,-
100000 has begun by the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue. This is the esti-
mated yield of the new revenue bill.
The income tax provisions Of the act
reach the pocketbook of every single
person in the United States whose
net income for 1918 was $1,000, or
more, and of every married person
whose net income was $4,000 or
more. Persons whose net income
equalled or exceeded these amounts,
according to their marital status,
must flea 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, fine of not more than
$1,000 and an additional assessment
Of Is per cent of the amount Of tax
due.
For "willfully refusing" to make
return on time, fine not exceed
ing $4,000, or not exceeding one
years imprisonment, or both.
For making false or fraudulent
return, fine of not more than $1O,-
600, or imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both, together
with an additional assessment Of SO
per cent of the amount of tax
evaded.
For failure to pay the tax on time,
a fine of not more than $1,000 and
an additional assessment of 5 per
cent of the amount of tax unpaid,
plus l per cent interest for each full
month during which it remains un-
paid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $2,-
600 personal exemptions, taxpayers
are allowed an exemption of 5000
for each person dependent upon
them for chief support If such per-
son is under eighteen years Of age
and incapable of self-support. Under
the 1917 act, this exemption was al
lowed only for each dependent
child" The head of a family
one who supports one or more per-
sons closely connected with him by
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage or by adoption-is entitled
to all exemptions allowed married
person.
The normal rate of tax under the
new act is 6 per cent of the first $4,-
900 of net income above the exemp-
tions, and IL per cent of the net in
come in excess of $4,000. Incomes
in excess of $4,000 are subject also
to a surtax ranging from per cent
Of the amount of the net income be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to 65 per
cent OF the net income above ST.

Payment of the tax may be made
in full at the time of filing return or
IN four installments, on or before
March Is, on or before June Is, on
or before September Is, and on or
before December 15.
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in making out their re-
turns. The date Of their arrival and
the location of their offices may be
ascertained by inquiring at Offices of
collectors of internal revenue, post
offlces and banks. Failure to see
these officers, however, does not re-
i1eve the taxpayer of his obligation
TO file his return and pay his tax
within the time specified by law.
In this case taxpayers must seek the
Government, not the Government
the taxpayer
