Income Tax Facts
You Should KnoW

No. 10
Tax returns ARE examined by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue os soon
as practicable after they are filed. If
the amount found due proves to be
greater or less than shown in the re-
turn, the installments will be recon-
puted. If 1t is shown that the amount
paid is in excess, such excess will be
credited against the subsequent In
is in favor of the government, the
balance Is to be paid upon notice and
demand by thu collector.
When O return Is made in good
faith and an understatement of the
amount Is not due to any fault of
the taxpayer no penalty accrues. III
the understatement Is due to negli-
gence but without intent to defraud,
there Is added 8 per cent. of the
total amount of the deficiency, plus
interest at the rate of 1 per cent. a
month from the time the tax was
due. If the understatement Is false
with intent to evade the tax, the
penalty is a fine of not more than
$4,000, or one years Imprisonment,
or both, together with the cost of
prosecution, with an added assess
ment of so per cent. of the amount
of the deficiency.
Heavy PenaltleS PROVIDED
For failing to make a return on
time the penalty is a fine of not more
than $1,000 and an additional assess
ment of rs per cent. of the amount
due. "Willful refusal" to make a
return and pay the tax on time is
punishable by a fine of not more
than $4,000, or one years imprison-
ment, or both, together with the cost
of prosecution. If a collector of In
ternal revenue suspects that an
amount of income Is understated In
q return, he may, on his w initia-
tive, take up the matter with the
taxpayer and, on becoming convinced
hat the amount was understated,
may increase the tax, subject to the
right of the taxpayer to appeal to
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue.. The commissioner. without the
Intervention of collectors, may xer-
else original Jurisdiction in cases of
understatement.

$1,000 or more during the year 1913
must be made by all individuals,
trustees, guardians. and other fidu-
Charles, and by partnerships and cor
porations.
A separate return of each employe
whose salary for 1913 was $1,000 or
more is required of employers.
The bill provides that whenever
necessary the names and addresses
of the recipient of the incomes shall
be furnished by the person, corpora
ton, Or partnership paying 1t. The
returns must show, whenever posi-
BILE, whether the recipient Is single
married, or the head of a family.
Regardless of the amount, inform-
alton returns may be required In the
case of payment of interest upon
bonds and mortgages, deeds of trust,
or other obligations Of a corporation.
Information Returns
Returns of information must be
filed with the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue at Washington. Col
lectors of internal revenue are not
authorized to receive such returns.
Forms on which the returns must
be made may be obtained, however,
from the offices of collectors.
Approximately 8,500,000 returns
Of information were received by the
bureau for the yea 1918. In addi-
ton the bureau received 100000
ownership certificates revealing the
payment Of bond interest, dividends,
and foreign items OF income. In
formation returns, this year, at last,
will be placed in the hands of deputy
collectors Of internal evenu for
use in rounding UP d~elinquents.
Revenue agents will visit every
county in the United States to assist
taxpayers In making out their In
come tax forms for 1919. The date
Of their arrival and the location of
their offices will be announced
through the press, or may be obtain
ed on inquiry at offices Of collectors
of internal revenue, post offices, or
banks. The services of these ex-
perts is offered without cost to the
taxpayer. Failure to take advantage
of them. however, does not relieve
the taxpayer from his obligations
under the law. In the payment of
an income tax, the taxpayer Is re-
CURED to seek the government, not
the government the taxpayep.

sCEQQL MEEK

/ This week has been set aside
as School Week, by the United
States Bureau of Education.
1t might be appropriate to
quote the following from a re-
cent statement by Lord Haldane,
Chancellor of Bristol University.
EDUCATION THE FUNDAMEN-
tai NEED OF DEMOCRACY
There is no reform more urgently
required from every point OF view
than great diffusion of education
among the people at large. Higher
mental training brings born leaders
to the front. But 1T does more than
this. 1t raises the standards OF those
whom it molds. 1t solves automat-
ically our social problems. The well
educated man is not content with
low wages nor with bad housing for
himself or his family. He knows how
to use his leisure and how to obtain
intimate companionship and stimula-
tion from the minds OF the great ones
who have revealed themselves with
out restraint In books. In his hours
OF labor he works hard and with con-
centrated purpose, because he recog
nizes it to be his duty.
The workman is not less capable
than others OF being filed with the
spirit of Shakespeare and Milton;
with the lessons Of ancient history
as well as modern; with the realiza-
tion OF the relativity OF all knowl-
edge as Plato and Spinoza and the
great English teachers OF recent
times have exhibited 1t; with the
sense OF the tremendous advances Of
science since Francis Bacon wrote,
and as Darwin and Newton and
even Einstein In our own day have
developed them. He desires to know
what economics and the theory of
the state mean to the man who
studies them In their entire field for
the sake OF truth alone. Lord Hal
dane, Chancellor OF Bristol Univer-
eity.

road he related his hold-up, and they
went in search OF the thugs. They
overlook them where they were
with the car. The car was stuck.
They made their get away after
they were pursued for some distance
but were not overtaken. One of the
thugs was about 35 years OF age, and
wore dark suit, and nose glasses
One was about 21, and wore a green
his suit and cap. The third wore q

of them wore an overcoat. Ii ap-

Debate at kentawky School
Friday Evening
A debate of much interest to
the patrons of the Good Hope,
Little Business and Kentawky
schools is being staged Friday
evening at 7 80 O'Clock P. M. at
the Kentawky School.
The question to be argued is
whether these three schools
should be consolidated at Ken
tawky, The matter of consoli-
dating these schools has been
considered, and also agitated.
There is, Of course, some opposi-
ition to the consolidation, but the
debate is to be held in a friendly
spirit 1t is, indeed, a clever plot
laid by both sides, in an effort to
see the question presented on
both sides. The time will be lin
tied to 40 minutes to a side.
The affirmative will be repre-
sented by Prof. 7. r. King, the
principal Of the school; R. u.
PEBBLES, County Supt. OF Educa-
tion and O I Rand.
The negative will be represent
ed by Representative Brown
