so on.

Separate Income Returns for
Husband and Wife Is
Avenue of Escape,
BY JOHN CARSON,
Times Staff Correspondent

wy ASHINGTON, July $50
wv this is the lair of the tax
Right here. under the nose of treas
ury officials and with every tax ex-
pert informer about it, is this avenue
of escape for the big boys with the
millions
They have wives. The law permits
the husband and wife to file separate
income tax returns. The big boys do
that and they pay the Government
500, 100000 less each year In taxes
while President Harding refuses to
discuss lowering the taxes on the
wage-earners.
And all the time this goes on, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Mellon points
to the dwindling crop of millionaires
in the income tax returns ana bowls
that so much money goes into tax
exempt securities and that that is
the way the tax dodgers operate.
Could Collect Millions
by simply requiring the husband
and wife to file a joint return, the
government could get 800 900, 900
more each year from the income tax.
said one of the old experienced tax
collectors.
Suppose a man has a net income
OF $500, 900. His tax would be s170,-
$50. But If he files a return for
5000 900, and his wife files q return
for the other $500, 900. they each pay
$40 $50 Their total tax would be
| $141 .920. By that simple method
they save 500 900.
Perfectly simple and absolutely
legitimate" suggested the tax collec-
tor.
Suppose, again, man has an in
income taxes. But If he made a re-
turn for $50, 900 and his wife made
return for $4,000. they'd each pay
$4,000 in taxse. or a total Of 50 ,920. BY
that simple device, they'd save moro
than $4,000. and that would be more
than one-half their total bill.
Would Cut Further
If the rich taxpayer had two sons
or two daughter and so arranged his
up into four parts and the tax again
would be decreased
Can 1t be corrected? BY simply
making the husband and wife make
a joint return Will it be corrected7
The tax collector smiled broadly
a knowing smile
If President Harding urges 1t and
Congress considers it. the big boys
will make their fight. And all the
time Secretary Mellon will insist most
Of the tax dodgers use tax exempt
securities "a their method of escape.

I've seen Babe Ruth when he lined EN- out
For many and many circuit clout
I've seen Iris Speaker and Ty Cobb, too,
Performing wonders that thrilled me through;
But the greatest kick that ever got
Came from game the hometown lot
When hung our rivals the Indian sign
By a score of fifty to fortynine.
From two till six OF a summers day
We battled In a bitter fray.
And the crack Of hits a fusillade
AS played, and played, and played, and played
Except for the times when had to wait
TIL the crowd quit fighting around the plete;
For our sporting ethics too fine,
When won by fifty to forty nine!
| pitched till my arm was wrenched and sore.
Allowing just seventy hits-no more.
While the other twlrler, | recall,
