INCOME. LAX DUE; RETURNS
 MUST BE FILED MARCH Is

WASHINGTON, D. C., March l. Work on the collection of $6,OOO,OOO,-- 000 has been begun by the bureau of internal revenue. This is the esu- mated yield of the new revenue bill. lThe income tax provisions of the act reach the pocket-book of every single person in the United States whose net income for 1918 was 5000 or more, and of every married person whose net income was $2OOO or more. Persons whose net income equalled or exceeded these amounts, according to their marital status, must file a return of income with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which they live on or before March 15.
 Here is what will happen to them if they don't for failure to file a re- turn on time, a fine of not more than $1,OOO and an additional assess ment of 25 per cent of the amount of tax due.
 For "willfully refusing" to make return on time, fine not exceed ing $10,O00, or not exceeding one years imprisonment, or both.
 For making a false or fraudulent return, fine of not more than $1O,- 900, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, together with an additional assessment of 50 per cent of the amount of tax evaded.
 For failure to pay the tax on time, fine of not more than $1,OOO and an additional assessment of per cent of the amount of tax unpaid, plus 1 per cent interest for each full month during which it remains un- paid.
 In addition to the $1,O00 and $2,OO0 personal exemptions, taxpayers are allowed an exemption of $200 for each person dependent upon them for chief support if such person is under eighteen years of age and in capable of self-support. Under the 1917 act, this exemption was allow ed only for each dependent "child." The head of family-one who SUD- ,orts one or more persons closely connected with him by blood relation ship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption-is entitled to all exemp- tions allowed married person.
 The normal rate of tax under the new act is 6 per cent of the first $4,000 of net income above the ex- emptions, and 12 per cent of the net income in excess of S4,000. In- comes in excess of S5,000 are sub feet also to surtax ranging from 1 per cent of the amount of the net income between S5,000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent of the net income above S1,OOO,OOO.
 Payment of the tax nav be made in full at the time of filing return ar in four installments, on or before March 15, on or before June 15, on or before September 15, and on or before December 15.
 Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to aid taxpayers tssv faey y -,nakino 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 offices and banks. Failure to see these officers, however. does not re- Ieve the taxpayer of his obligation 'N file his return and pay his tax within the time specified by law. In this case taxnavers must seek he government, not the government the taxpayer.
