NEW LIGHT ON HOW YOU ARE
TAXED ON YOUR 1922 INCOME
Two New and Important Provisions
Are Contained in Revenue Act.


The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Galen L. TAFT, for the District of
Maryland.
The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions,
which are the subject of frequent in
quiry. The first relates to the per-
sonal exemptions allowed married
persons, and the second to the pro-
visions requiring that a return be
made of gross income of $4,000 or
more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband or wife,.
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
or less shall be allowed a personal
exemption of $1,000. If the net in
come of such person was over $4,000
the exemption is $4,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the personal ex-
emption allowed a married person
was $4,000 regardless of the amount
of net income. The normal tax rate
remains unchanged, 4 per cent on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions. The normal tax rate
remains 8 per cent on the remaining
net income.
In order that an income slightly
in excess of $4,000 shall not be sub
jected to an Unfortunately dispropor-
tomato tax because of the reduction
of the exemption to $4,000 thereon,
the law provides that such reduction
shall not operate to increase the tax,
which would be payable if the exemp-
ton were $500, by more than the
amount of the net income in excess
of $4,000.
For example, on a net income of
5000, the tax, without this saving
clause, would be $12040, which is A
per cent on 5000, the amount of net
income less an exemption of $4,000.
The actual tax is $1,000, computed
as follows: From the net income of
5000 is deducted $1,000, leaving
$3.50, the per cent tax on which
amounts to $1004O. To this is ad
ded $40, the amount of net income in
excess of $4,000.
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of family, person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
ton.
Heretofore, person whose net in
come was less than his exemption
$4,000 if single, $4,000 if married twas
not required 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
income of married couple and that
of dependent minor children
equalled or exceeded $4,000 (gross in
Gomez return must be filed, regard
less of the amount of net income.
met income" is gross, less certain
deductions. The fact that allowable
deductions from gross income, for
business expenses, losses, bad debts,
etc, may reduce the net income to
an amount below the personal ex-
emptions of $1,000 or $4,000, does not
alter the requirement to file a re-
turn of gross income, if such gross
income equaled or exceeded $4,000.

GRIFFITH FACES
 A DELICATE TASK
Provisional Irish Government Has Pitfalls to Avoid During Month Which Must Elapse Before Free
 State Ratification

Dublin, Jan. 11.-Arthur Griffith, new president of the Dali Eireann, and his cabinet assumed today the places to which they were elected yesterday. It was recognized that careful work was necessary, it pit falls were to be avoided during the full month which must elapse before final ratification of the treaty creat- ing the Irish Free State.
 On February IA the Dali will re- convene to ratify formally the docu- ment which it approved as the repre- sentative body of the Irish republic. The reported decision of Great Brit ain to liberate immediately all poli- tical prisoners would, it was believed, strengthen the hands of the new lead er
 The difficulties with which the new government is faced were commented upon by the political correspondent of the Freeman's Journal as follows:
 Urge Speed on Britain.
 
 "A united and stable government has been established and the first stage of the fight for the treaty is won, but the obstructionist tactics of he opposition have added immensely to the difficulties of the nation build ers."
 The Irish Independent editorially emphasizes the heavy task before the new government and hopes the people will Loyalty respect and obey it.
 The Irish Times is also confident that the people will accept the "Free State and relegate to private life those who defied the Dali Eireann.
 "An attempt to force the provision- al government to the polls before the Free State is embodied as not impos- sible and, if it is made and is sue cessful, the treaty's friends would fight at very great disadvantages Therefore, it is the British cabinets duty to consummate the Irish settle men with urgent speed"

 By receiving 250,s14 new members into their local churches during the state conventional year ending De- cember l, 1921, Southern Baptists have established new record along evangelistic lines and probably take the lead among evangelical denomin- ations in America in this respect. The previous high mark was 173,595, es- talbished year ago, but the 1921 fig- ures represent an advance of 44.5 per cent.
