Income Tax is VexdtiOn
Genrre-What anestion7
By James j. Montague

George-What question?
Mrs. George-"Were YOU married.
and living with your husband or
wife on the last day of your taxable
period ?" Don't you think that is
impertinent?
George-well, I suppose the gov
eminent has 10 know IL.
Mrs. George suppose the gov
eminent has 20 know whether
you're on good terms with in-laws.
and whether you approve OF your
husbands having a too good looking
stenographer. Oh, there's lots OF
questions they've left out. They
might have asked you if
George-we must hurry. or wen
never get this job done.
Mrs. George can't tell where TO
begin this thing. One place is as
good as another, I suppose. Here's
q funny item. Rents and Royal
ties"
George-what is there funny
about that?
Mrs. George-The idea Of their
putting in a place for royalties
when under our form Of govern
ment no royalties could possibly be
citizens, I remember reading that
in the history I studied in the gram
mar school
George-That doesn't mean kings
and queens. 1t means the income
you get from plays, and movie
scenarios and things.
&Mrs. George-But how many peo-
nm get that kind Of income2 The
IDA Of printing such an item on
every blessed blank they publish. cit
IS a waste of ink and paper. It's
that sort Of thing that makes US
have to pay so much.
George-Really dear, I think we'd
better begin at the to- OF this thing
and work down till were through.
Mrs. George-(Turning the blank
over). oh, very well. 1t says salar-
les, wages. commissions, etc. What's
the etc. for?
George suppose it means in
come from other sources.
Mrs. GeorEe-Would it mean the
two hundred and fifty dollars and
the topaz ring that Aunt Jane left
me?
George suppose il would.
Mrs. George-Well, I'm not going
to pay any tax on that. That was
/ a matter between Aunt Jane and me.
And she'd promised to leave me a
| thousand dollars.
George-All right, If you want to
/ take a chance, go ahead
J Mrs. GEORGETOWN here at the
I bottom It says that checks and drafts
will be accepted only If payable at
par. How could a check that you
| had just drawn on a bank get below
par by the time you gave it to the
/ tax collector?
George-Hadn't we better so back
/ to the beginning and put things
down as they come?
Mrs George-All right. 1t says

this blank day Of blank, 1921.
George Twenty ONE?
Mrs. George-Yes, that's what II
says.
George-where did you get that
blank?
Mrs. George-It was on the desk
I supposed that the postman had
4 brought il.
George-No, that's one Uncle
Charlie left here last year, before he
went to Europe. You remember he
forgot 10 make it out. and there
was trouble about it, when he came
back.
Mrs. George-But where is ours?
George suppose it hasn't come
yet.
Mrs. George-Well when it doe;
come well get a lawyer to make 4
out for us. 1 told you we coulC

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 30.-The state
roads commission is preparing to pro-
ceed with its regular program Of post
road construction work. now that the
federal aid funds amounting to $427,-
900 are in hand.
John N. Mackall. chairman Of the
commission. said today that the fed
eral bureau of public roads has facilt-
tated the work on the program by
waving the right to review the speci-
fications at this time and instructing
the local commission that they could
go ahead with the awarding OF the
contracts. Maryland is the only state
In the Union which has been treated
with such consideration. This is prob
ably due to the fact that Mr.. Mackall
keeps closely in touch with the off,
cials Of the bureau at all times and
keeps them posted on his views.
If the bureau had seen fit to hold
were officially approved. the program
would probably be held up several
weeks. As it Is, the commission, with
the funds in the bank, can proceed to
map out the exact program. arrange
for the matching of funds and award
the contracts.
The commission had expected $780,
900. The national fund was cut from
$100 1000. 900 to $50.000.000. and Mary
land suffered In proportion. AS a re-
suit the counties stand to lose
about twenty miles of post road con-
struction, or an average Of about
two miles each. This loss Will be
