DOUBLE WEDDING AT
C. L. SAR0klN'S EDSIDE

A double wedding was performed
at the bedside of c. L.. Sarokin, 399
Park avenue. at 2 O'Clock Sunday
morning by the Rev. II. l.. Chain
Of the Shari Thloh Church, when
Miss Bertha Sarokin, a daughter,
and Max, a son.. were united in mar
riage to Maurice Miller, of Perth
Amboy, and Ruth Platoff. of Union
Hill. Mr.. Sarokin, who is in a poor
state of health. announced to his
family that he wished to see both
his son and daughter married i'm
m~ediately. and the n couple. Max
and Miss Platoff. who were to have
been married next Sunday. were no.
tilted at Union Hill and hurried here
in an automobile. In the meantime.
Miss Sarokin and Mr.. Miller took
the few necessary steps in prepara-
ton for their marriage. The out-of-
town couple arrived after midnight
and the double marriage was SOL
emnized at 2 o'clock.
Miss Sarokin and Mr.. Miller be-
came engaged a few months ago but
kept the community guessing as to
just how relations stood between
them. Suspicion on the part of sew
eral friends was verified by neither
Miss Sarokin nor Mr.. Miller. and it
was some time before the engage
ment was formally announced. The
midnight and hurried marriage was
a consistent elimination of the ro-'
nance that started here with such
secrecy.
Mr.. Mtller is engaged in the prac-
tice of law here in Perth Amboy
and served with the A. L. F. in
France as an army field clerk. Both
Mr.. Miller and Miss Sarokin are
well known in the social circles.

Income Tax Facts
You ShouldKnow

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue concerning the items TO be
included under gross income" in
the 1920 income tai returns. Cor
rect understanding of the term Is of
paramount Importance to the lax
payer, as it is the basis upon which
the return is made.
Income is defined by the revenue
act to include gains, profits, and
income derived from salaries, wages,
or personal compensation, or from
professions, vocations, trades, bust
ness, commerce, or sales or dealings
in property; also from interest.
rents. dividends, securities, or in the
transaction of any business carried
on for gain or profit, and income de-
rived from any source whatever"
Practically every dollar received by
the taxpayer during the year 1920
must be shown in his return as gross
income. In arriving at net income,
upon which the tax is assessed, the
taxpayer is allowed certain specified
deductions, such as business ex-
penses. losses, and depreciation,
which will be fully explained later.
Wage Farmers Tax Return
Taxpayers may be divided into
four general classes-the wage earn
'er or salaried class. business. pro-
f%essional, and agricultural. Any
form of compensation for personal
services rendered by the wage earn
er is income, including salaries,
wages, commissions. fees. and bon
uses. pensions paid retired employees,
and tips. Payment for personal
services may be paid for partly in
cash and partly in board and lodg-
ing. In this event a fair value must
be placed on the room and meals.
and the amount reported as income.
Promissory notes received in pay
mcnt for services. and not merely as
security for such payments. consti-
tute income to the amount Of their
fair market value. When services
are paid for in something other than
money, the fair market value of the
thing taken in payment is the
amount to be included Is income.
If the services were rendered at a
stipulated price. in the absence of
evidence to the contrary such price
will be presumed TO be the fair
value of the compensation received.
Compensation credited to a taxpay-
er's account and subject to with
drawal must be reported as income
whether actually received or not.
The gross income of the usual
business consists of the gross profit
on sales. together with income from
other sources. The return must show
the gross sales, purchases, and cost
of goods sold. To reflect net income
correctly and to ascertain gross in
come inventories are necessary at
the beginning and end of each tax
able year.
The lawyer, doctor, architect, ac-
tor. author. dentist, clergyman. and
other professional man must include
in his return of gross income all
fees, salaries, and other compensa-
ton for professional services.
