Part 2-Indiuiduuls

Normal Tax.-The individual income
taxation rate for the calendar year
1918 is fixed at II per cent of the
amount of the income in excess Of the
credits, mentioned later. but the first
$4,000 Of income in excess of credits
shall be 6 per cent. For each calendar
year after 1918 the rates are estab-
lshed at and per cent, respectively.
The surtaX which is applicable to all
net income--no credits-above $4,000
per annum begins with / per cont on
the amount over $4,000 and not more
than $4,000; 2 per cent of the amount
over $4,000 and not over $4,000, and
then increases at the rate of | per
cent for each additional step of $4,000
until it reaches Ga per cent on that
portion of income between 100000 and
81 100000, and 65 per cent all income
in excess of Sl,000,000. In computing
the surtax it is nsecessary to take thc
sum of the taxes on each portion
thereof as described. 1t is provided,
however, that in the case of income de-
rived from the sale of mines, oil or
gas wells or any interest therein where
the principal value of the property has
beens demonstrated by the prospect
ing of the taxpayer the amount of the
surtaX collected thereon shall not ex-
ceed 20 per cent of the selling price.
Net and gross incOme.-Net income
is defined as gross income less the de-
ductions allowed by law. Gross income
is deqned as all gains and profits and
income derived from salaries, wages
or any compensation for personal ser
vice, including, in the case Of the Pres
ident of the United States, the judges
Of the Supreme Court and inferior
courts of the United States and all
other officers and employees of the
United States whether elected or ap-
pointed. their compensation received as
such. The House proposed to tax the
salaries Of state officers ansd minor
political sub divisions. The Setnate ig
nored the subject, leaving it to admin
istrative determination as to whether
such taxes-on the salary of the Pres
ident Of the judges and state officials
were constitutional, and should be in
cluded under the general definition.
The resulting compromise is that sala-
ries of non-Federal officials shall not
be taxed. while the other officers men
toned shall be taxed.
Bross income does nsot include the
proceeds of life insurance policies paid
upon the death Of the insured to in
the deceased BY inference it does in
clude life insurance policies paid to
business. Gross income does not in
clude returns Of life insurance pre-
miums or premiums on annuity and
endowment contracts, the value Of
property acquired by bequest, descent
! or devise. though the income from
such property is included.

ment, securities from War Finance

ductions and credits IN the case of

rorations that refrain from making

shareholders from the application of
the surtax. In general they are to
be treated as personal service cor
porations. Provision is also made for
taxing at the source income of non
resident aliens.

income of $1,000 or $4,000 or over

racing to tell it. Miss May Smith,
