Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

Thousands Of women arc required
to file an income tax return and pay
tax on their income for the year
1920 No official estimate OF the num-
bcr OF such women can bo given by
the bureau OF internal revenue. but
statistics OF income for the year 1918,
just issued, show that the number of
returns filed by single women for that
year was approximately 26s,coo. The
tax paid by these WON N amounted to
s7so. .9oa. 500.
In addition there were filed approx
imately $1,000 returns by single wo-
men claiming an exemption OF 81 600 as
heads OF families, being the sole sup
port in their households OF one or more
relatives. Tax collections from these
women amounted to s273. .7si. .o7s.
The number OF wives making sepa-
rate returns from husbands was ap-
proximately $4,000 and the amount OF
tax collected from this source was
SS5S, 2is,1st. These figures show that
taxes paid by women form an impor-
tant item in government revenue.
The exemption allowed single women
or a married woman who is not liv-
ing with her husband. is 81 900. The
normal tax rate on income in excess
OF this exemption Is per cent on
the first 1900 OF net income and 3
per cent on the remaining net income.
In addition there is a surtaN which
applies. however. only to net income
In excess OF 5000.
The term single women includes
R widow. a divorcee. or n person sop
arated from her husband by mutual
agreement. A married woman whose
income Is from a separate source than
her husbands may file a separate re-
turn.
A married woman living with her
husband is not allowed n prescribed
exemption. Tho exemption allowed n
married couple is 81 900. The s., 900
may be taken by either husband or
wife or prorated between them.
a woman who was widowed during
the year 1920, unless tho head OF q
family or remarked on or before Dec.
81, 1920, may claim only an exemp-
tion OF $1,000. A wife supporting an
invalid husband in a sanatorium is
entitled to a 5000 exemption. The
separation is one OF necessity and she
is not considered for income tax pur-
poses TO be living apart" from her
husband. II, however. there Is con-
tinuous voluntary separation between
husband and wife, whether or not
granted by court decree, each must
i take the status OF single person with
respect to the income tax.

Hoosier's Pgeonhole Argument For Boxing Fights,
But Cohorts Plug For
Passing

| Roosevelt favored such a law, and now
he has Admiral Sims, Rodney Wanna
maker, Reginald T. Vanderbilt, General
Leonard Wood and a host of others
backing him up. There are over a
thousand members of the international
Sporting club whose slogan is clean
sports. The boxing laws of the En-
pire state are accepted as mode; every
where. At the boxing congress which
was held in New York city some time
ago was the outcome of the present
laws of the state and the beginning OF
the International Club. They are put
ting their best efforts forward TO bring
the game up to the same level as Eng
land.
To look at the question from a ply
losophical standpoint is the proper
spirit. The better sport OF millions of
soldiers during the late war was box
ing, all other sports We're subservient.
The officers, high and low favored it.,
and the rank and file saw more graft
fled diversion than in all the other
sports combined.
They brought this feeling homo with
them. 1t was inculcatcd into them
during their fighting days. They saw
tho advantages to bo gained by being
n good boxer. 1t is the most manly
sport OF all. and these same soldiers
will not be contented until they can
crafty their spirits with an exciting
boxing match. The higher officers of
the army and navy saw the ad-
vantages to be gained and the inccn-
tive will not down.
1t is certain that Calvin and his
cohorts will never stand for defeat
Like the early days of baseball they
expect TO fight battles for right and in
the end they will win. They are in the
right. They believe in bringing the
boxing game within due bounds OF law
and deccncy and until they. succeed in
eliminating all the Questionable fea-
lures they will never be satisfied

1t is to be regretted that the Indiana
legislature has pigeonholed the pro-
posed law for boxing commission.
Ihe loss will not be so much to Indiana
alone as the probability that other
states will do the same thing thru
precedent. 1t will be hard blow to
William A. Calvin. the man who
framed the New York state boxing
laws, as we'll as every member of the
International Sporting cub. the aim
of which is to clean up the boxing
game and put it on the high standard
1t rightfully belongs.
There seems to have been a wrong
ldea with a majority of the members
OF the Indiana legislature. They believed
that such 4 law was more within the
Jurisdiction of the different cities OF
the state, and that if anything was
done along these lines it was within
the power of the cities to make their
own laws.
If one will study the good that the
boxing commission has done for the
state of New York. they will readily
sec that 1t is matter for state con-
troll and not for individual cities. Gal
vim took his cue from the government
when the stamp of approval was put
on boxing in the army The argument
in favor of the city is easily dissipa ted
In the history OF boxing is understood
before it came under state supervision.
1t was not satisfactory and took more
along the lines of rowdyism than
decency. Before those state laws were
made any tout, gambler or caulifiow-
er cared gent had ways and means of
pulling on boxing match. Today in
the state of New York every mana ger
of boxers, every boxer or attache is
licensed and under surveillance and
TO violate any of the rules means dis
barment.

among the most prominent professional
and businessmen of the state arc back
