INCOME TAX
Some Facts That People Who
VIII Have to Pay Will Want
to Know Are Given by
Officials.

A fat rate of 10 percent is imposed
on the net income Of corporations for
the year 1919. For the year 1918 the
rate was IL percent. Certain COR
porations, such as labor and agricul-
tural organizations, mutual savings
banks not having a capital stock rep.
resented by shares, fraternal bene-
flciary societies. business leagues.
chambers Of commerce., boards OF
trade. ETC., not organized for profit
are exempt from taxation.
Every domestic corporation is al
lowed specific exemption Of $4,000,
but, unless expressly exempt from
taxation, must file return regardless
Of its net income. Returns are re.
,Quired also of every personal service
corporation, Notwithstanding they are
exempt from taxation.
Personal Service Corporations.
The term personal service corpor-
alton" according to treasury regula-
Itions, means corporation "the in.
come of which is derived from a pro-
|fession or business which consists
principally Of rendering personal
service, the earnings OF which are to
be ascribed primarily to the activities
of the principal owners or stockhold-
ers, and In which the employment Of
capital is not necessary, or only In
cidental." No definite and conclu-
sive tests, however, can be prescribed
by which 1t can be determined in ad-
vance OF an examination of the cor
poratton's return whether or not 1t Is
la personal service corporation. The
individual stockholders of a personal
|service corporation are taxed in the
same manner as members of part
nership, and the net income from
such corporations must be accounted
for by them.
Corporation returns must be sworn
ito by the president, vice president, or
other principal officer, and by the
treasurer and assistant treasurer.
When required by the commissioner
|of internal revenue, corporations sub
ject to the tax must render return
duly verified under oath Of its pay
ments of dividends, stating the name
and address of each stakeholder, the
number of shares owned by him, and
the amount Of dividends paid him.

and partnerships, doing brokerage

Iamount Of their profits or losses. and
giving such other information as will
tenable the commissionerlto determine
whether all income tax on profits and
gains of such customers have been
paid.
In determining net income upon
which the tax is assessed, corpora
|tions are allowed all the ordinary de-
auctions for business expenses, bad
debts, depreciation losses, etc., grant
ed the individual. Corporations, like
individuals, may pay their income
tax in full at the time OF fling the
return, or in four installments, the
first of which is due on or before
March Is, the second on or before
June Is, the third on or before Sep
TENDER Is, and the fourth on or be-
fore December Is, 1920.

NEW YORK, FEB. 5.-The cotton

still further apparently on foreign adj
vices that while no government action
has been taken to stop imports, Eng
lish importers were inclined to either
stop or limit their cotton importa-
lions from the United States so long
as the exchange rate was so badly
against them. Shortly after the open
ing March was off fifty points. May
off fifty-five; July off sixty; October

George M. Cohan's new comedy "a

over a year in New York and Chicago
again demonstrates the wonderful ver-
satility of Mr.. Cohan in adapting plays
from successful stories and rewriting
them so that the unexpected which
does not happen in the book always
happens in the play.
In Cohanizing Darragh Aldrich's
story Enchanted Hearts, into com
edy of brilliantly characterized people
from the everyday work-a-day world,
Mr.. Cohan has added another lovable

WHEAT HARVEST
UpsETS RECORD


Kansas City, Aug. 3-This years
wheat harvest in Kansas will
reach It's, OO0, 900 bushels and has
an excellent chance Of smashing
the record crop of the states his
tory-1914, when the farmers reg
istered 1S0,O00,000 bushels.
This is the statement of D. T.
Piazzek, second vice president OF
the United States Grain corpora
ton. He is just closing the cor
poration's Kansas City Office
which, during government control
of wheat, had supervision over five
wheat states.
Its simply phenomenal" said
Piazzek. Il have never seen any
thing like the yield per acre be-
fore-and I'm farmer myself"
The farmer is getting from $3.50
to $3.50 a bushel for his wheat.
He's satisfied if the price stays
around there. If the crop could
be moved in few months the
price would go down to 81 or un-
der, grain men say.
However, the car shortage is an
other phase.
Farmers Will Clean Up.
All the farmers will make mon
ey on wheat this year. Their net
profit will be about four times that
of 1914, when they cleared about
so cents a bus>al.
Today. at $3.50 a bushel the
farmer deducts the following: 10
cents for freight and, say, 20 cents
for harvesting. Contrast $3.50 or
even 81 net profit with his 1914
profit!
All other crops are unusually
good, too.
One billion dollars is the esti-
mate Of the wealth that will pour
slowly, to- be sure-in to the
pocketbOOks of Kansas farmers
