INCOME TAX FACTS.

Thousands of persons derive their
income almost wholly from salaries
or wages. Salaries paid by a state or
political subdivision thereof as city,
town, county, or hamlet, however, are
not taxable. The reason is that the
federal government does not tax the
instrumentalities of a state. In this
connection many persons have the
mistaken belief that all school teach
ers are exempt from payment of the
income tax. Teachers are not exempt
because engaged in educational work,
but only when employed by state or
political subdivision thereof.
Public school teachers in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii
are not in the exempted class for the
reason that they are not state en-
ployes. and their salaries. or part
thereof. are paid-by the federal gov
ernment The salaries of all federal
officers and employees are subject to
the tax except that a federal income
tax cannot be levied on the salary of
the President of the United States nor
a federal Judge which would diminish
the salary that was in effect at the
time they took office.
The special exemption of $500 for
persons in active military or naval
service allowed under the revenue act
Of 1918 no longer Is allowed. Soldiers

WINS 7-YEAR FIGHT
AGAINST DEPORTATION
Troppello Given Court Verdict
After Plea to President Harding
Fails, But U. S. May Appeal.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. February "a
seven-year fight against deportation
tn italy was won in the United States
district court by Antonio Troppello
after efforts to have President Hard
ing and Secretary of Labor Davis
oyerrule the immigration authorities
had failed.
Sustaining the contention OF Trop-
pelIo's counsel that the Immigration
law provided that an alien must be
deported within five years of his ar
rival Judge Dickinson ordered that
the Young man be discharged from
the custody of the Immigration oni-
cfals Assistant District Attorney
BoIger said that the case probably
would be appealed. as it involved
question affecting thousands of SIM
liar cases.
TroppeIlo arrived here with his
mother in November. 1915, but the
Immigration authorities declared he
was feeble minded and refused to ad-
nit him permanently. Owing to the
danger of travel on the high seas
because of the German submarine
warfare at that time, however. he
was permitted to remain in this coun-
try under bond. In April, 1919. Il
warrant was issued for his deporta-
ton and in June. 1921. he was taken
into custody. The day before he was
to have sailed for his native land his
attorney obtained an order to have
the case reviewed by the federal
