A single persCn may claim an exemption of S2 000 as the head of a family if he is the sole support of one or more relatives living in the same house with him, and if he exercises control over household affairs. Deductions from gross income to which the tax payer is entitled in arriving at net income are fully explained in the in- structions on the forms.
 Tax Is Percent
 The bureau is emphasizing this year that the requirement. to file return rests solely upon a persons marital status and the amount of his or her net income for the year 1920. Single persons whose net in come was $1,000 or more and mar iied persons whose net income was $2000 or more must file return re- gardless of whether their incomes are non-taxable by reason of their exemptions.
 The normal tax rate for 1920 is per cent on the first $4000 of net income above the exemption, and s per cent on the remaining net in come. The surtaX rate, which is computed without the benefit of the exemption. ranges from 1 per cent on the amount of net income be- tween 5000 and $6,000 to 65 per cent on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000
 For the information of taxpayers in filing their returns there has been prepared by the Bureau of Internal Revenue a series of shCrt articles on the income tax laws and 1920 regu- lations. the first of which will ap- pear on January 3. Errors heretofore made have been noted. and the tax payer is told how this year they may be avoided.

dor at London, is mentioned.
Cabinet meetings will be resumed
very soon" and as announced Il few
days ago President Wilson will pre-
side. White House officials reiterat-
ed that the president was making
rapid strides towards rcgaining his
| health.
Mr.. Lansing denied in a letter to
the president that he sought OF in
tended to usurp presidential author
ity. He added however, that he be-
lieved then and still believed that the
cabinet conferences were "tor the
best interests of the republic; that
they were proper and necessary" be-
cause Of the Presidents condition
and that he would have been derelict
in his duty if he had failed to act as
he did. III
AS the record stands Mr.. Lansing
rendered his resignation and Mr.
Wilson accepted it. The resignation
was offered, however, only after the
President, under date of February z,
had written asking if it were true
that Mr.. Lansing had called cabinet
meetings and stating that if such
were the case he felt it necessary that
under our constitutional law and
practice, as developed hitherto, no
one but the President has the right
to summon the heads of the executive
Departments into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered two days
later saying that if the President be-
lieved he had failed in his loyalty"
to him and if Mr.. Wilson no longer
had confidence in him he was ready
to "relieve you of any embarrass-
ment by placing nay resignation in
your hands,"
The President replied last Wednes-
day that he was much disappointed"
by Mr.. Lansing's letter regarding
"the so-called cabinet meetings" and
added that he "mush frankly take adj
vantage of your kind suggestion" to
resign. -.
