1920 Income Tax is Now
PAYABLE:

Work has been begun on the col
lection of the income tax for the
year 1920. Uncle Sam, through the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, is ad-
dressing to every person in the Unit
ed States the question, "What was
your net income for 1920" The ans
wer permits of no guesswork. Every
single person whose net income for
1920 was $1,000 or more and every
married person whose income was
$4,000 or more is required to file a
return under oath with the collector
Of internal revenue for the district in
which he lives on or before March Is,
1921.
The penalty for failure is a fine
of not more than $1,000 and an ad-
ditional assessment of 25 per cent
of the amount of tax due. For willful
refusal to make a return the penalty
is a fine of not more than $1,000 or
not exceeding one years imprison-
ment, or both together with the. costs
Of prosecution. A similar penalty is
provided for making a false OF fraud
ulent return, together with an ad-
ditional assessment of so per cent of
the amount of tax levied.
Women Must Pay Tax.
The income tax applies to women
as well as men. Husband and wife
must consider the income of both
plus that of minor children, and if
the total equals or exceeds $4,000
return must be filed. A minor who
has net income in his own right of
81 900 or more must file a return. To
be allowed the $4,000 exemption
married person must be living with
husband or wife on the last day of
the taxable year, December 81, 1920.
Divorces, persons separated by mu-
tual agreement, widows and widow
ers, unless they are the sole support
of others. living in the same house
hold, in which case they are allowed
the $4,000 exemption granted the
head of family, are entitled to only
81, 900 exemption.
Tax Rate for 1920.
The normal tax rate for 1920 is
the same as for 1913 per cent
on the first $4,000 Of net income
above the exemption and 8 per cent
on the remaining net income. This
applies to every citizen and resident
of the United States. In addition to

nlIssioners were compelled to levy
mercy for the maintenance and slp-
pert of said school, it being a State
Institution and not sectarian schooi
and in no way connected with the
Catholic church.
In the levy for the year 1921, the
amount levied is $1,000 for Maryland
Industrial Training Schools, and bills
for the amount due Maryland Train

ering the charge for the first quarter
of the current year amount to $225.00,
and this does not include the amount
due by the county to the School for
Girls, separate institution, but equal
ly emitted to maintenance under the
law, and for which the county must
provide as required by law.
1t is perfectly apparent, therefore,
that the appropriations already made
to these State institutions, which are
non-sectarian schools, have been made
as required by law to be made and
that not one penny of the funds of
Garrett county have been appropri-
ated, levied or spent in the support of
