Law CHANGES ARE
ON ASSEMBLY CARD

Changers in the teachers pension
law of Indiana, which as it now ap-
pears on the statute books has never
been adopted by Richmond, are to be
considered by the present session of
the general assembly. A bill is being
drafted by the legislative committee
of the teachers organizations and will
be ready for the consideration of the
general assembly within the next few
days.
The bill provides for retirement
board, which would include the aud
itor of state, treasurer of state, super
intendent of public instruction, three
teachers elected by members of the
retirement system and another person

RETAIL MERCHANTS
TO EXCHANGE VIEWS
TO BOOM BUSINESS

New York business men in the
wholesale drygoods and allied lines
are promoting a convention of retail
merchants handling popular price mer-
chandise to me held at the Hotel Penn
sylvania, New York, during the week
of Jan. "a.
Build Business is the slogan of
those behind the convention. 1t is the
feeling among manufacturers and job
bers that if the retailer will sit down
with them and discuss conditions and
ways of meeting them, buying will be
stimulated and the entire country
benefited
Confidence is felt that an inter
change of views will dispel the notion
prevalent among retailers that there
still is to be a substantial drop in
prices. Already, it is said, prices of
many items of merchandise are back
to prewar figures, and in some cases,
even lower.
Exhibit Items.
So that there may be an actual DEM
onStration of this fact, an exhibit OF
items suitable for popular price selling
will be held during the convention
These will be shown by manufa cturers
DIS well as JDUGeTS, lfluS enabling Tue
merchant not only to get first hand
information of price tendencies, but to
actually inspect merchandise. Arrange
ments have been made to feature
items of seasonable character to
guide the merchant in selecting stocks
for spring and summer.
The daily program for the conven-
ton calls for talks by both wholesalers
and merchants on various phases Of
current merchandising problems.
Trades Represented.
Among the trades to be represented
in the convention and merchandise ex-
hihit are dry goods, notions, millinary,
house furnishings, hardware, toys,
woodenware, glassware. crockery, un-
GerWear. hosiery, stationery, jewelry,
laccs and embroideries, knit goods,
books, enamel and aluminium ware,
ready-to-Wear, etc.

Vention and exhibit are located in the

ton may be had as to hotel accommo-

cislons bearing on it's various sections,
all OF which are of benefit to the tax
payer In the making of a correct re-
turn.
1920 Exemptions.
The exemptions for 1920 are $1,000
for single persons, $4,000 for married
persons and heads of families, plus
s2o0 for each dependent if under 1S
years of age or incapable Of self-sup-
port. The normal rate is per cent
on the first 900 of net income above
the exemptions and s per cent on the
remaining net income. This applies to
every citizen and resident of the
United States. Alien nonresidents re-
ceiving income from sources within
the United States are taxed to the full
3 per cent on net income from such
sources. The surtax rates range from
pei cent on income between $4,000
and $4,000 to 65 per cent on income in
excess of $1,00O,O00 met income" is

ductions.
May Pay in InstaIIments.
The tax, this year as last, may be
paid in full at the time of filing the
return, or in four equal jnstallments.
Ouc OI OF DelOTe March 10, June 10,
September Is, and December Is. The
first installment must accompany the
filing of the return. Forms 1O4OA for
incomes of $4,000 and less and 1O4O
for incomes of more than $4,000 have
been revised and contain instructions
which if carefully read and followed
will be Of great aid to the taxpayer in

Forms will be sent to persons who

What was your income for 1920?

What was your income for 1920?
An answer to this question is re-
quired by the Government of every
single person (man, woman, or child)
in the United States whose net income
for last year was $1,000 or more, and
of every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more. Heavy pen
alties are provided by the revenue act
for those who fail or "willfully refuse"
to comply.
The period for fling returns for the
calendar year 1920 is from January l
to March Is, 1921. The Bureau OF
Internal Revenue estimates that with
in this period there will be filed 4,00O,-
coo individual income tax returns. 1t
is certain a percentage of these re-
turns will be incorrect, not because OF
dishonest intent on the part of the
taxpayer but because of error in max
ing out the forms. Erroneous inter
probation of the law and regulations
governing the collection of the income
tax and carelessness cause numerous
mistakes, and result in the initial as
sessment and collection of consider
ably greater or lesser amounts than
are actually due. Frequently these
mistakes which result in overpayment,
return Or Wn1Cn is maze upon d cidlIl
for refund. Where, upon verificatiOn
and audit, underpayments are shown,
taxpayers as rule are prepared
promptly to amend their returns and
pay the additional tax due. In either
event, there is trouble for both the
taxpayer and the Government.
Bureau Aids Taxpayers.
To the end that this year such err
rors may be reduced to a minimum,
the Bureau of Internal Revenue is
making special effort to inform tax
payers of their rights and duties under
the revenue act as interpreted by rul-
ings and regulations of the Treasury
Department.
There has been prepared with the
official approval of the bureau series
of short articles, of which this is the
first, telling the taxpayer how to make
out bis 1920 return, when and where
to file it, and what to do in the event
lie meets with unusual difficulties
Errors most frequently noted in the
audit of previous returns have been
divided into closes, each of which
will be treated in an informative
way.
While there is no actual change in
the law, there have been issued during
