GET BILLS FOR $40
MORE INCOME TAX

state Treasurer George NJ. Fisher
has Jared residents OF Wilmington
and nearby by sending bills to those
who paid. early in 1920, income tax
for the calendar year 1919. and
though being married or head OF A
family had claimed $4,000 exemp-
ton. In other words, every man
who claimed the exemption of 1000
during 1919, just as II was printed on
the income tax schedule sent out,
is now called upon to pay SO more.
Many OF them did not have to pay
any tax because their income did
not amount TO $4,000.
When the State income tax law
was passed it carried exemption Of
$1,000 for any man. or woman,
whether married or single. In 1919
an amendment was passed, making
the exemption for a single person
$1,000 and for a married man, or
the head Of a dependent family, So
900. The amendment did not go
into effect until January /. 1920, but
dicated this. Therefore nearly every
taxable who Is now entitled to the
$4,000 exemption appears to have
filled out the 1919 blank, last year,
and made the $4,000 claim at that
time.
Attorney General Sylvester d.
Townsend, Jr.. in February. gave
an opinion. supported by Aaron Fin
ger. a deputy, in which he set forth
that, because the amendment to the
income tax law did not become ef-
fective until January 1, 1920, the in
comes figured for 1919 could only
carry an exemption OF $1,000 for
married people or any one else. Sup
ported by this state Treasurer Fish

IAssociated Press Dispatch.l

Duluth, Mimi, March IF every
dairyman in Minnesota will boost
like he should" George P. Grout oil
Duluth, president of the Minnesota
Dairy council, is of the opinion that
the National Dairy show for 1921
will be staged on the Minnesota
state fair grounds at Hamline.
A statement urging every state
dairyman to use his influence in in!
ducing the senate finance committee
which is scheduled to meet Tuesday
to approve of funds for the compile
ton of the livestock building, has
been issued by Mr.. Grout. On the
action Of the committee in this mat
ter rests the possibilities OF Mime
sofa obtaining the National Dairy
show, the Minnesota dairy chief said
Favor Mass Action.
He said That breed organizations
have. responded generally to the sug
geStion that mass action be employ
ed. IL the informal invitation ex
tended by Mr.. Grout are accepted
every individual dairyman in the
state will be present at the commit
tee meeting.
Directors Of the national show
were said to have been Influenced by
the work of the Minnesota council
to consider the Hamline grounds, in
stead of permitting the show to GO
East as has always been the case here
tofore. therefore, the state council
is DESTROYS that the individual dairy
man, the cEe expected to profit large
ly, should the show come to the
Gopher State, make every effort IL
influence the finance committee &C
cordingly.
National Dairy Show a "Roundup"
The National Dairy show is a
roundup" for dairy manufacturers
producers, consumers and livestock
breeders. Mr.. Grout estimated that
dairymen from all over the United
States, from Canada and even from
all parts OF the world, will come to
view the annual exhibit, should the
senate committee make the project
possible by appropriating necessary
funds. The Minnesota council Is anx-
ious that the worlds dairying inter
ests be given an opportunity to per
sonally inspect the livestock anc
dairying business of the Middle West
1T is unnecessary to impress upon
the mind of the up-to- date livestock
breeder the importance of securing
this show for Minnesota" Mr.. Groui
declared. 1T Is a recognition to oui
state and a triumph for our section
as the dairy center Of America
Dairying is the chief industry of the
North Star state and returns $780,

LATE OPINION
F. J. MEMO GIVES ADVICE
{ ON INCOME TAX
ev enue Collector Cites State
ment Sent Out Recently
From Washington

F. J. Nenno, chief deputy revenue
collector for the Mankato district, In
statement to The Free Press to.
day, stated that his office is flooded
with inquiries from all parts OF
Southern Minnesota concerning a de-
cision that was handed down In the
United States district court Of Con-
necticut. Mr.. Nenno stated that for
the benefit Of the public and especial
neys and all others he would quote
the following communication he re-
ceiyed from the United States inter-
nal revenue Office at Washington
d. C..
This communication announces
that numerous inquiries have reach
ed the bureau of internal revenue
relative to decision Of the United
States district court in Connecticut
in the Brewster case, in which 1t was
held that the gains and profits reali-
zed from the sale of capital assets
is not a taxable income"
|, Mr.. Nenno wished to impress
strongly upon the minds OF all that
In the communication 1t specifically
states that the United States attof-
ney for Connecticut has been author
lied to perfect an appeal to the
supreme court Of the United States
for a review of the decision.
Will Continue To Tax
The communication from the Wash
ington office also states that since
congress under the provisions OF the
income tax act of 1913, 1915 and 1918,
has directed to tax as an income all
of such gains and profits. For this
reason the bureau will continue to
collect the tax thereon until the
supreme court shall hold that the
provision of the law are unconsu-
tutional.
In view of the severe penalties
provided by law for falsifying and
fraudulent income tax returns, tax
payers are warned not to omit from
their returns for the year 1920 such
gains and profits.
MIR. Nenno has now in the Man
kato offices an expert on corporation
taxes, who will be only too willing
to aid the public in arriving at the
right conclusions in making out their
returns. All corporations, farmers
elevator companies, and bankers
who bring the necessary data to the
Mankato office this expert will as
sist them in making out their re-
turns. Any individuals who are not
conversant with the laws in making
out returns will be assisted by Mr..
Nenno. All corporations and partner
ships must file returns regardless OF
their income. Amy partnership, or
personal service corporation or indi-
vidual who pays into any partner
ship or corporation, or individual any
salaries, wage rent, interest of fixed
or determinable gains or profits must
file forms 1899 and 1896. These
blanks may be obtained from Mr.
Nenno.
