Women and the Income Tax.


Women who had incomes dur
ing 1919 are reminded by Collec
tor Of Internal Revenue, Levi
Williams that they are subject t,
all the provisions of the Fedora
income tax. Many thousands O
women file returns and pay take,
regularly, and there are new
names added to this list each year
The high wages and salaries re
ceived by women last year viii

fair sex who are required to file
returns.

employee is not taxed on her sal.
airy or wages, but must file re-
turn if her taxable income from
other sources was sufficient in
amount to come within the law s
definitions.
An unmarried woman, widow
or a married woman who is liv-
ing apart from her husband, must
file an income tax return if her
net income for 1919 was $1,000 or
over. She is entitled to an exemp-
ton on the first $1,000 Of her in
come. If she is the head Of a fam
lily, as defined in the income tax
regulations, she may claim $1,000
additional exemption. Also, she
may claim further exemption of
5000 for each person for whom
she is the chief support, if the de-
pendent is under Is or is mentally
Or physically defective.
A married woman who lives

than her husband is entitled to
file separate return with respect
to that income. Ordinarily hus-
band and wife file one joint re
turn, including the income of
both. But if the husband does
not include his wife s income, the
wife is required to file her own
return. Separate returns of hus-
band and wife are required if
either had a net income exceeding
$4,000.
A married womanw no lives
with her husband is not allowed
a prescribed exemption. She and
her husband have $4,000, plus 5000
additional for each dependent;
and this exemption may be taken
by either or divided in any man.

A woman who was widowed
during 1919 may claim exemption
for the full year, on the basis of
her status as of December 81.
A wife whose husband is in a
or temporarily work
ing in another city, and is separa-
ted from him only through neces-
sity, should not consider her stat
us as living apart from her hus-
band. But if there is voluntary
separation, whether
or not granted by court decree,
each must take the status of a sim
gle person with respect to income
tax.

WAR FORTUNES AND TAXA,
TION.

How much are you paying in
taxes this year? How much great
or is it than the sum you paid in
1914?
The poor man and the average
citizen of modest means would not
hesitate to make a frank reply to
that query. He may have few
thousand more than he had before
the war, and he will be found pay
ing his taxes accordingly. But
what Of our new crop Of million
aires-those mushrooms in trOus-
ers who profiteered in the blood
Of humanity-who screwed the
last penny from those who were
compelled to have war munitions
and food or go down in defeat?
How many Of these newly rich
the plutocrats of calamity-will
honestly pay in proportion to
their gains? How many who have
wrung millions in war gains from
our own government will make a
just return on their wealth?
1t would be interesting to see a
tabulated statement of the taxes
paid for the years 1914 and 1919.
If the government should sudden
ly decide to make this informa-
ton public the roars of protest
would be more ludicrous than the
king of clowns at circus. The
comparison, we fear, would put
old Ananias to shame.

THE WORK THAT KILLS.

Many people will tell you tina
work never kills any one. But i
does. There is a certain pace tha1
men travel that requires work
work of peculiar kind-work
that leads inevitably to disaster
That is the work that has dissipa-
ton as it's goal.
The young man who spends
hours chasing the wild orgies OF
the bright lights is a worker. He
tolls diligently in his search for
new thrills, for the sordid and
seamy side of life His brain is
ever on the alert-seeking, seek
ing, seeking; and at each step his
vitality becomes lower and lower.
In time he becomes old in his
youth, his frame but an empty
shell, his mind a conglomeration
Of selfishness and debauchery.
1t requires work to go this pace
that leads to the open
grave.
