Incomes below $4,000 are exempt
from surtax. The single man with no
dependents and an income for 1919 of
50 900 will pay a tax OF $40 instead OF
$50 as for 1918, and a married man
with an income of $4,000. and no de-
pendents except his wife viii pay $40
instead of $50.

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, leav-
ing a balance of $4,000. On the first
$4,000 he pays at the normal rate of
4 per cent, $160. On the remaining
$1,000 he pays at the normal rate of
IS per cent, $50. In addition he pays
"a surtax of $40, per cent on the
amount of his net income between
$4,000 and $4,000. His total tax is
$3.50, as compared with 1870 for 1918.
Rate for Married Men.
A married man with two dependents
had a net income for 1919 of $500.
From this he deducts his personal ex-
emption of $4,000, plus 5000 for each
dependent. on the first $4,000 of the
balance of $500 he pays. at the normal
rate of per cent, $160. On the re-
naming $1,1O0 he viii pay, at the
normal rate of per cent, SIS. On
the amount Of his income between
$4,000 and $4,000 he pays surtax of
j per cent, or $40. On the amount
of his income between $4,000 and $500
he pays a surtax of per cent. The
total, normal and surtaX, is S2SS as
compared with SAP for 1913.
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 widow,
a woman living apart from her hus-
band. or a maid must file a return if
her net income equalled or exce' ded
81 900. A minor whose income for 9l9
was $1,000 or more must make a re-
turn. If the minors income was less
than 81, 1000, it must be included in the
