Income Tax Due
Returns Must Be On Or Before
March Is.
Bill Provides Heavy Penalties.

Washington d. c. Work on the col
lection of $6,OOOOOO,OOO, has been be-
gun by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue. This is the estimated yield
of the new revenue bill. The income
tax provisions of the act reach the
pocket-book 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 in
come was $1,000 or more. Persons
whose net income equalled or ex-
ceeded these amounts, according to
their marital status, must file re-
turn of income with the collector of
internal revenue for the district in
which they live, on or before Mar. 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
ST 900 and an additional assessment
Of Is per cent of the amount of tax
due.
For "willfully refusing to make
return on time, fine not exceeding
$4,000, or not exceeding one years
imprisonment, or both. -
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn. a fine of not more than $4,000,
or imprisonment OF not more than one
year. or both, together with an add1
tional assessment of so per cent OF the
tax evaded.
.~ For failure to pay the tax on time,
fine OF not more than $1,000 and
additional assessment of 5 per cent
OF the amount of tax unpaid.plus | per
cent interest for each full month dur
ing which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and S2,0oo
personal exemptions, taxpayers are al
lowed an exemption of $500 tor each
person dependent upon them for chief
support if each person is under eight-
cen wears of age and incapable OF self
support Under the 1917 act, this ex-
emption was allowed only for each
dependent child. The head OF a
family -onee Nh9 supports one or
more persons closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage. or by adoption-is
! entitled to all exemptions alloWei a
married person.
The normal rate of tax under the
new act is six per cent OF the iirst
! $4,000 OF net income above the eN-
emptions. and y per cent Of 'he net
income in excess OF $4,000. Incomes
in excess of $500 are subject also
to surtax ranging from per cent OF
the amount OF the net income be-
tween 5000 and So,000 TO 65 per cent
of the net income above Sl,000,0oO.
Payment Of the tax may be made i'll
full at the time of filing the return or
in four installments, on or before Mar.
IS. on or before June Is, on or before
! September Is. and on or before Dec
ember Is.
Revenue officers will visit every CO.
univ in the United States to aid tax
payers in making out their returns.
The date OF their arrival and the To-
cation OF their offices may be ascer-
= Al
lectors of internal revenue, postoiiices
and banks. Failure to see these Oh
ficers. however, does not relieve the
taxpayer of his obligation to file his
return and pay his tax within the time
specified by law. In this case tax
payers must seek the Government, not
the Government the taxpayer.

When It's Camping Time Under the Palisades

should be only a playground for a few
while other millions could at best only
enjoy it as II view lying across a mile
or more of water. To open the way to
them was big job. Roads and paths
and harbors had to be built by blasting
and grading and filling. 1t presented
all the problems of opening to civiliza-
ton a far distant land. During the
war years this new playground was
fully appreciated by those who backed
up the boys at the front, but youth
among their number was conspicu-
ously absent. Many a campers outfit
was stored away awaiting the day
when the Hun. with arms stretched
high, called "kamerad" as the grand
finale. Now Its over over there" and
the outfit is being repaired and made
ready for n good old camp across the
river" And, as was expected. those who
never camped before are exploring the
mystery OF camp literature and laying
in supply OF those thousand things
that they think they need but are sure
to discard another season.
q There are now several ways of get
ting TO and from the playground under
the Palisades. Many campers travel
by canoe. keeping their crafts In a

nicists of the bureau to help in design
ing types OF boilers to be used in

scientists at the Pittsburg Experiment
Station effected changes in the marine
steam generators so that six tons of
coal would do the work formerly done
b. seven tons. This meant saving on
a single trip to Europe anywhere from
$500 TO $3.50 on the fuel bill. This
economy can be maintained in time of
