COLLECTOR EXPLAINS
INCOME TAX CHANGE.

Provisions of the revenue act of
1921, which became effective jan
uary l, 1922, relating to personal
exemptions allowed married persons
and to the return required on gross
incomes of $4,000 or more, are eX-
planned in a statement issued Thurs
day by Josiah T. Rose, collector of
internal revenue for Georgia.
The statement follows:
The revenue act of 1921 contains two
new and important provisions, which are
the subject of frequest inquiry. The first
relates to the personal exemptions allowed
married persons, and the second to the
provision requiring that a return be made
of gross incomes of $4,000 or more.
The ~act provides that Il married person,
living with husband wife. whose net in
come for 1921 was $1,000 or less shall be
allowed a personal exemption of $1,000.
If the net income of such person was over
So, 900 the exemption is $4,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the personal exemption
allowed married person was $1,000 re-
CARELESS of the amount of net income.
The normal tax rate remains unchanged,
per cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exmptions and s per cent
nthe remaining net income.
In order that an income slightly in ex-
cess of $1,000 shall not be subjected to an
inordinately disproportionate tax because of
the reduction of the exemption to $2,OOO
thereon, the law provides Lnat Sucn reuuc-
ton Shall not operate to increase the tax,
which would be payable if the exemption
was 1880, by more than the amount of
the net income in excess Of $1,000.
For example, on a net income of $500,
the tax, without this saving clause, would
be $1,000, which is 4 per cent on 5000,
the amount of net income less an exemption
fof s., 900. The actual tax is $110.40, COM
puted as follows from the net income of
SIS, 010, is deducted $500, leaving $3.50,
IN W
800. 40. To this is added $40. 1.-THE amount
of net income in excess of $1,000"
The personal exemptions allowed married
persons, apply also to the head of a FAM
lily, person who supports in one house
hold one or more relatives by blood, mar
riage or adoption.
Heretofore, person whose net income
was less than his exemption ($1000 If
SINGLE. or $4,000 if married) was not re-
uuired to file a return. Under the revenue
act of 1921, if the gross income of an
individual equalled or exceeded $4,000, or
if the combined gross income of married
couple and that of dependent minor chill
dren equalled or exceeded $4,000, a return
must be filed, regardless of the{ amount
of net income.
"Net income" is gross income less GER
tain deductions. The fact that allowable
deductions from gross income, for business
expenses, losses, bad debts, etc, may re-
duce the net income to an amount below
the personal exemptions of $1,000 or $4,000,
does not alter the requirement to file re-
turn of gross income, If such gross income
equalled or exceeded $4,000. ..

MRS. TYLER RESIGNS
FROM Nj kLUX kLAN

! Assigning as reasons her own bad
health and the critical illness of her
daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler re-
signed Wednesday night as associate
of Imperial Kleagle Edward Young
Clarke in the propagation depart
ment of the Ku Klux Khan Mr..
Clarke said Thursday it had been ac-
cepted with deep regret.
Leaders of the revolving faction
of the khan construed Mrs. Tyler's
resignation as a partial victory in
| the campaign they have waged for
what they term cleanup within
the Imperial family. For months a
number of deposed grand COLLINS,
led by Harry B. Terrell, have been
seeking to gust Mrs. Tyler and. Mr.
Clarke on the ground of "for the
good Of the order
Mrs. Tyler, however, took a diff
| ferent view. She asserted in a
| formal statement that she did not
quit her post until the khan had
''won a great victory over it's enc
mics, from within and without. J"
Lauding the spirit of loyal klansmen
and praising their activities in be-
half of "a purer Protestant Amer
ica," she appealed to them to stand
together and keep up "the good
work."
'In the fight against our great or
der" Mrs. Tyler said, 81 have been
maliciously prosecuted, lied about.
and even shot at, and every member
of the imperial family has been
dreadfu1ly misrepresented. The enc
my stopped at nothing, but we won
the fight, for no Nearthly power can
break the no earthly power can
break the spirit of klansmen."
RumOr Is Denied
The resignation of Mrs. Tyler
brought out a statement that the
rumor heard frequently during the
New York Worlds so-called expose
that an auxiliary known as the
Daughters of the Khan" had been
formed with Mrs. Tyler as empress"
was unfounded. Mrs. Tyler and I'm
perial Kleagle Clarke, in statements
touching on the formers resignation,
stated positively that Mrs. Tyler
was the only woman connected with
the order.
Mrs. Tyler said she was not full
f1edged member and had never had
any official connection with the or
der. The report that she was "em-
press" of the khan daughters was
nothing but a fabrication of antago-
mist newspapers, she asserted.
MIR. Clarke said there was no Ques-
ton for him to decide in Mrs. Ty
ler's resignation. In view of heN
statement that she must quit or suf-
fer physical collapse, he was
forced to yield to her request, he
declared. 4. .., ---4,,
Everything is in fine shape and
the work of the order will be pushed
forward more vigorously than ever"
said Mr.. Clarke. Mrs. Tyler's resi-
ignation will be the source of keen
est regret among k1ansmen through
out the country"
No successor to Mrs. Tyler will
be named, but Kleagle Clarke will
command the propagation depart.
ment without an associate, he an
nounced.
With the imperial kleagle, Mrs.
Tyler was under fire for several
weeks during the crusade conducted
by the New York World and lu-
merous other newspapers late last
year. Her name was coupled with
that of Mr.. Clarke in sensational
charges, and at one time, according
to khan officersD an attempt was
made by khan enemies to take her
life by firing volley of bullets into
her home on the Howell Mill road.
