Information is Contained In Bulletin
Sent Out by Government Telling
What to do in These
Cases.
SUR TAX is CHARGED
Exemptions are Allowed for Married
Men and for Each Of the De-
pendants In These Fani-
Hes.

In making out his income-tax re-
turn the taxpayer is required to show
both gross and net income. Gross in
come includes practically every dol
| lar the taxpayer received during the
year 1919. In arriving at net income,
upon which the tax is assessed, he is
allowed certain deductions. which will
Ibe explained later, plus the amount
of his exemption.
Incomes below $1,000 are exempt
from surtax The single man with
no dependents and an income for
1919 OF $4,000 will pay tax Of $40
instead of $50 as for 1918, and mar
ried man with an income OF $4,000,
and no dependents except his wife
will pay $40 instead OF $50.
Surtax Rates.
The surtax rate is l percent on the
net income in excess of $4,000 and
not over $4,000, and increases by
steps OF l percent for each $1,000 of
net income up to and including 4S
percent on net income in excess Of
$4,000 and not over 100000. From
this point the rates run as follows:
Fifty-two percent on net income over
100000 and not over $15O,O00, So
percent on net income over $150;000
and not over 100000, 60 percent on

over, 100000 and not over $1,000
900, and 65 percent on net income
over s1,00O,O00. ~.
How to Compute Taxes.
The following Illustration will show
the average taxpayer whose net in
come was more than $1,000 how to
compute his tax:
A single man had a net income
for 1919 of $4,000. First he deducts
his personal exemption of $1,000,
leaving a balance OF $4,000. On the
first $4,000 he pays at the normal
rate of 4 percent, $3.50. On the re-
ma lining $1,000 he pays at the normal
rate of per cent, $50. In addition
he pays surtax of $40, / percent on
the amount of his net income be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. His total
tax is $3.50. as compared with $40
flor 1918.
Rate for Married Men.
A married man WITH Two oepeHd'
ents had net income for 1919 for
1880. From this he deducts his
personal exemption of $4,000, plus
$500 for each dependent. On the
'hrst $4,000 of the balance of $500
he pays, at the normal rate Of 4 per-
cent, $3.50. On the remaining S1,10O
he will pay, at the Normal rate Of s
percent, SSS. On the amount Of his
Income between $1,000 and $4,000 he
pays surtax of percent, or $40. On
the amount of his income between
$4,000 and $500 he pays a surtax
of 2 percent. The total, normal and
surtax, is $2SS as compared with s412
for 1918.
Husband and wife whose combined
net income for 1919 equalled or ex-
ceeded $4,000 must file return,
either separate or joint as desired. A
idow, a woman living apart from
her husband, or a maid must file a
return il her net income equaled or
exceeded $1,000. A minor whose in
come for 1919 was $1,000 or more
must make a return. If the minors
income was less than $1,000. 1t must
be included in the return Of the
parent.

RESEARCH MADE TO
 PROVE MARS PEOPLED

FL PASO, TEX.-Science is bringing the day nearer when some means of general motive power from the suns rays will be found, Dr. D. T. MacDougal, director of the Carnegie Desert laboratory at Tucson, announced at meeting of the southwest ern division of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science at Fl Paso.
 That energy will be taken di- rect from the suns rays, Dr. MacDougal says he doubts, but he says it may be obtained indi- rectly through some chemical re- action caused by the suns rays.
 The director of the Carnegie laboratory also said he forsees the day when the origin of life on this planet will be explained.
 Prof. c. Hall Hamilton, of the Lowell Astronomical Observatory at Flagstaff, who is a delegate to the convention of scientists, said scientific investigation was tend ing to confirm the Lowell theory that Mars is inhabited by intelli- gent beings.
 The scientists are meeting here with physicians and engineers of the southwest.
