work" allowances and yardage more
literally compensated, and every
mining region will work full time.
1t would seem almost needless to
point out that during the recent
period Of wage revision the en-
pioyes Of the state have been the
last to secure wage increases, and
that the railroad administration
mas by no means failed to use dis
elimination in what railroads it
would and would not operate, nor
has that administration been dis
posed to keep shopmen or roadmen
at work despite the need for car
and road repairs.
Under private operation the man
with mining property will work
as often as he has a chance. He
stands ready to operate his mine
as soon as occasion permits. The
men In some sections, however,
would really be better off if a
prompt decision to run their mines
or quit were definitely made. In
these decaying centres the men, for
the most part, own their own homes.
and so long as their industrial op-
portunlty continues in doubt they
will endure all kinds of hardship
rather than migrate to sections
where work is assured, meantime
eking out the irregular work at the
mines by labor on farm belonging
to themselves, their relatives or their
neighbors.

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 stockholder.
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 per cent on
any further taxable income the rate is
IL per cent
The surtaN rates apply to net In
come of each Individual in excess OF
$1,000. 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
lax.
Business House Returns.

wages, salaries, rents, interest or sim
liar determlnahle gains in an amount
OF $1,000 or over during 1918 10 any
