They set OFF together along the

was a little pale and preoccupied,

But though he went straight to

no effort to take off his wet clothes.
Instead, he took bunch of keys
from his pocket and unlocked the
small drawer in the dressing-table.
A small packet of letters-the only
belongings he had brought to Som

some collars and handkerchiefs, and
he took them out with hands that

1922 Income Tax
To Be Lower for
Welded Persons
Exemption $500 Instead of
Former S2,000-No Relief
For Bachelors and I'm.
married Women.

Soon again, fellow citizens, you
will have the pleasure OF filling out
your income tax blanks and that ex-
hilaration which comes when you
pay the tax. You know. You may
file your return OF 1927 income any
time between January ! and March
Is, 1922.
II you are so fortunate as 10 be
married, your tax fer 1921 will be
lower than heretofore. Congress
passed a law making your exemp-
ton $500 instead OF $1,000 and your
exemption for each child $40O in
stead OF 5000.
No relief was afforded the army
OF lonely bachelors and unmarried
women. Congress is composed
chiefly of married men who have
overridden our rights, fellows. EX-
emptions for unmarried people re-
main at a miserable $1,000.
Rate Remains Same.
The rate of tax for persons with
net incomes of $1,000 or less re-
mains at 4 per cent.
Suppose a married man with three
children had net income OF $4,000
this year, his exemption will be
$500. plus $1,000 for the children,
or $500 altogether, leaving him
only $500 on which to pay tax. His
tax will be but $l2. His tax under
the old law would have been $50.
If you have separated from your
wife or husband you get only the
81 900 exemption, same as the lowly
bachelor.
Surtaxes on incomes over $4,000
will be the same for 1921 as hereto
fore. Beginning with 1922 incomes
they will be lower.
Surtaxes fer this years incomes
range from l per cent on incomes
between $1,000 and 10000 TO 65 per
cent on incomes in excess of
$l,000000. o.
Surtaxes Lower.
But for 1922 and following years
the surtaxes will range from |, per
cent for the amount of net income
from $4,000 to $4,000 to SO per cent
on net income above 100000. ...
All single persons and all married
persons not living with their mates,
with net incomes of $1,000 or more,
must make returns. Every married
person living with husband or wife,
with income of $1,000 or more, must
make a return. And every person
with a gross income Of $4,000 must
make return, regardless OF his net
income. Married persons whose
combined net incomes are $1,000 or
more must make returns.
