cry person in the United StAtes the
question, "What was your net in
come for 1920?" The answer per-
mits Of no guesswork. Every single

person whose net income was $1,000
or more is required to file q return
under oath with the collector of in
ternal revenue for the district in
which he lives on or before March
Is, 1921.
The penalty for failure is fine of
not more than $1,000 and m addi-
tional assessment of 25 per cent of
the amount of tax due. For wilful
refusal to make return the penalty
is fine of not more than $4,000 or
not exceeding one years imprison-
ment, or both together with the cost
of prosecution. A similar penalty is
provided for making false or fraud
ulent return, together with an addi-
tional assessment of so per cent of
the amount Of tax evaded. -
The income tax applies to women
as well as men. Husband and wife
must consider the income Of both
plus that of minor dependent chill.
dren, and if the total equals or ex-
ceeds $4,000 a return must be filed.
A minor who has net income In his
own right of 81 900 or more must file
a separate return. To be allowed the
$4,000 exemption a married person
must be living with husband or wife
on the last day of the taxable year,
December 81, 1920. Divorces, per-
sons separated by mutual agreement,

he same household, in which case
hey are allowed the $1,000 exemp-
ion granted the head of a family,

The normal tax rate for 1920 is the |
Iame as for 1913 per ecent on the
irst $4,000 of net income above the |
and 8 per cent on the re-
naming net income. This applies to

is free from reproach for the part it
has played. All are jointly respon-

these evils. Economy in private ex-

pROFTTEERS IN
ROME FORCED TO
REFUND PRICES

Rome.-An attempt Is being made
here to curb outrageous exactions
Of profteers BY establishing arbi-
trail commissions which have power
to compel traders to refund exorbi-
tAnt profits and to impose unusual
forms OF punishment.
One method OF bringing profiteers
to terms is to first compel them to
restore their ill-gotten profits and
then display for one month in their
shops an official account Of their
gougihg methods and the punish
ment imposed upon them.
These steps are the results Of
public evaporation over the ex-
cessive profits taken by retailers.
The Italian government first
tried other methods to shame the
Roman shopkeepers into charging
only q fair and honest profit. One
Of these efforts was to compel the
retailers to publish the price they
asked for every article; but it was
Of no avail.
Now the peoples are resorting to
the new provincial arbitral COM
mission which seems likely to
achieve results.
One Of the cases recently handled
BY the commission was that Of two
chemists who had charged from as
per cent to 800 per cent profit. One
Of the chemists had charged a pur-
chaser $50 for q tube Of anti
diphthetic serum which had cost
him 80 cents wholesale.
The arbitral commission COM
PEELED him to restore to the buyer
all except 100 per cent profit and
the druggist was compelled to hang
In his shop = record Of the case
against him.
In another case 4 Wholesale sta
toner, who had charged Z profit
OF $S.25 on . quire Of paper was
compelled to refund all except Z
fair profit.
The actions o fthe commn. 1884
The actions Of the commission
are hailed with delight By people Of
the middle class, who have felt
more severely the exactions Of the
profteers. Their incomes have
not increased in proportion to those
OF the wage Gamers, who now are
paid nom seven to nine tlmen a
much a b6fors the var.
