"Ddh't wait until the inal due date,

without the ben eft Of the contribution
deduction.
The taxpayer is not allowed to de-
duct any personal, living or family ex-
pense, any amount spent for improving
property, or any expense of restoring
property or making good its exhaus-
ton for which an allowance il claimed
under depreciation.
Figuring the Tax.
Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. As In previous years, divi-
dends Of domestic corporations are ex.
empt from normal tax when received
by the stakeholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 Of net income in excess of
the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
II per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net in,
come Of each individual In excess of
5000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the case of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net
income Of each is considered separate
ly in computing any surtax that may
be due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $4,000, and the instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and others who paid
wages, salaries, rents, interest or SIM
liar determinable gains in IN amount
OF $1,000 or over during 1918 to any
person must file an information return

from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the Government.
The law requires that every unmar-
rled person who had net income of
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was 5000 or
over (including the income Of husband
or wife, and the earnings of minor
children, il any must make return
on or before March 18th. And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes a tax.

An individual must include under
gross income all gains, profits and in

whatever kind and in whatever form
paid, or from professions, vacations,

are exempt.

Submission to Germany This
Month Of Preliminary Draft
Planned.
WORLD WANTS PEACE
Terms viii Probably BE Presented to
Foe Along With Conditions for
i Further Renewal Of ArmlStIcs
Which Expires Feb. II.

Paris, Feb. 8. - Tho usual

permit the peace bureau to speed
up action on the frame work for
the league Of nations. ~
international labor legislation
was formally taken up, however,
when the special committee hand.
ling that portion. Of the peace Get.
tlement went into session at the
.'renci1 ministry Of tabor offices.
Paris, Feb. 3.-Preliminary peace
terms will probably be presented to
Germany along with conditions for q
further renewal of the armistice this
month, II present plans are not de-
ranged.
Recognizing the need for return Of
the world to q normal peace time ba-
sis. the nations associated against Ger.
many are considering making q start
toward the actual peace treaty by In
serting some Of the elementary terms
into the conditions which will be sub
mitted to the German armistice com.
mission on February IL.
This decision is reflected, also in the
examination now under way to deter.
mine what American troops It will be
necessary to leave in occupied terri
tory. The plan is to get them all out
as soon as it seems advisable and It
has been thought that start might
we'll be made in laying down the terms
Of peace.
Some officials who have been closely
studying the situation believe that the
armistice itself might we'll be develop
ed into a peace treaty just as they
think a society Of nations might be
developed out Of the deliberations Of
the peace conference. President VIII
son Is known to have examined this
view and contemplated it's possibili-
ties:
Balkans and Poland Chief Topics.
. Paris. Feb. 2.-While the Supreme
council Of the great powers was occu-
pied with some Of the lesser contro-
versies-those in the Balkans and Po-
land-the chief business was In prt-
vate conference as sequel to the de-
cision on the German colonies.
Having accepted the American plan
for supervision of the colonies by the
league Of nations, 1t has now become
necessary to give body and substance
to league Of nations in order that It
may perform the important tasks
which are committed to it's care. This
is regarded as the chief business Inn
mediately ahead and President Wilson
is giving 1t his main attention.
