Ex-Wife's Alirnony.
Exempt From Tax
Former Husbands Are
Not Credited With
Payment of it

Grass widows and wives other
wise separated from their legal
helpmates who received alimony
drnine 1922 will not be taxed
upon that source OF income, said
J.. Sidney Wiley, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, yesterday in de-
6ning moot points of the income
tax laws. In fact, said Mr.. VII
lev, she need not include such pay
ments in her tax schedule, should
she otherwise have to make re-
turn of income.
The husband, however. who
pays the alimony, gets no credit
from Uncle Sam in having thus
lived up to his obligations. He. is
not even allowed TO deduct such
payments from his gross income,
since the payment Of alimony is
considered a personal or living
expense, which is not deduetible.
On the other hand. a woman
who has Won a breach of promise
suit or has accepted out of court
a settlement in the nature OF
"heart balm" must include the
amount in her. income tax re-
turn. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue has duler in such cases
that the amount received is not
to be regarded as a return of
capital, since the benefits of which
the injured party was deprived
were merely anticipatory.
Labor union members may de-
duct dues paid to locals from the
amount of their income on the
ground that it is a necessary
business expense incident to the
earning of their wages. The law
also exempts settlements receiv-
ed through accident or health in
surance or benefits for injuries
under the Workmen's Compensa-
ton act, plus additional amounts
received through suits or agree
ments growing out of such in
juries.
Damages recovered during 1922
for defamation of personal char
acter, it was stated, also need
not be included in the return OF
the individual, such having been
held to be non-taXable income.
Thursday of next week will be
the last day of receiving the first
quarter payments on 1922 tax
les. Receipts thus far since the
first of the month have been very
light. according to Mr.. Wiley, and
rush period is expected from
now on. For the convenience of
the public Mr.. Wiley is receiv-
ing collections at the Post Office
daily.

Copeland Opens
Office at Capital
Says He Means to Study
Big Legislative
Problems

Washington, March Senator
Royal S. Copeland of New York
opened his offices in The Senate
Office Building yesterday. He
said ne would spend much of his
time between now and the open
ing of Congress in DECEMBER in
Washington, but would also main
tain an office in New York. He
occupies the Suite in the office
building formerly used by Sena-
tor CulberSon of Texas, who re-
tired on Sunday.
The New York Senator said he
was fully aware of the fact that
he was a newcomer" and had a
lot to learn. He was not so pre-
sumptuous, he added, as to an
nOunce any program at this time.
DR.. Copeland explained that ne
knew very little about foreign af-
fairs from the standpoint Of leg
islation or policy, and was just
as much of a FRESHMAN" when Ii
came to the tariff and various
other matters. However, he
added, he already had Started in
to find out all about those things.
Answering questions put to him
by correspondents, he said he
was not ready to discuss the pro-
hibition problem. He wanted to
study it carefully and find out
what could be done under the
Constitution.
"This liquor question:" he de-
clared, is a mighty big question
and it must be met in the proper
spirit and with a full apprecia-
ton of the problem. Just now
l am not ready to say what
may or may not do in meeting
the issue"
The enactment of the Filled
Milk law, Senator Copeland re-
marked, was a fne piece of work
A few years ago, he said, New
York City was the dumping
ground for great quantities of
so-called filed milk products, most
of which were fraudulent.

Germany Getting Coal
From Hampton Roads

Norfolk, March THE first
cargo of coal to be shipped from
Hampton Roads to Germany is
being loaded in the Norwegian
steamer Hallgrim, which arrived
here Sunday and is expected to
sail this week for German ports
and to be followed by a series of
vessels 20 load coal for Germany.
Shippers here are excited over
this sudden turn in events, which
appears to shed some light on
the stringency in Germany, due
10 the occuation of the Ruhr by
the French.
When the French troops took
charge of the coal mines, ship
pers here speculated on the pros
pect of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia coal being soon in demand
in Germany, but they We're sur
prised when the Norwegian stea
mer put into port for the first car
go. The steam coal. for which
the mines which serve this port
are adapted, is said to be in
heavy demand in Germany and
shippers anticipate a continuance
of this business.
At the same time, several car
goes of coal for the Scandinavian
countries are being booked here
indicating further the serious
ness of the tie-up of the German
mines. which hitherto have furn-
ished coal to many of the North
ern countries.

state is Pennsylvania.

state is pennsylvania.
Reed noticed that Penrose had
left behind two possessions either
of which was worth more to ar
aspiring young man in public life
than much fine gold. One was
membership on the Republican
National Committee. The other
was the Craftsmanship of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, that pow.
erful body which makes tariff ant
tax bills, and thus affects the
lives and welfare of every inhabi-
tant of the United States.
"Now," the highly logical Ma.
jor Reed asked himself, "who
ever heard of a member of a ma
tional committee outside of few
people in his own stat? And who
is there who has not heard time
and again, of the chairman OF
the senate finance committee, whc
ever he may be-"
The answer to this little ques-
tionaire was that the astute Mr.
Reed got himself appointed q
member of the senate finance con-
mittee the other day. The mer-
bership on the national commit.
tee already hadgone, without any
fuss from Reed, to his colleague,
Senator George Wharton Pepper
All of this is by way Of saying
that Senator Reed is being groom
ed as the successor Of Penrosc.
He is a long way from the goal
he has just started on the path.
He may find it as full of OBJ
structions as the Argonne was
full of Germans. But, like the
men with whom he served in the
war, Reed is on his way.
The point about his appoint
ment to the finance committee is
this: That is one road to Page /
of the newspapers. Reed is only
a junior member of the commit
tee, but he is on the road to the
Craftsmanship. He may never get
there but he will get himself adj
vertised as he trudges along the
way. The views of a Pennsyl-
vania member of that committee
are pretty sure always to be
news.
They say here in Washington
that Andrew w. Mellon, the canny
secretary of the treasury, is back
ing Reeds aspirations to be the
big man in Pennsylvania, anc
consequently one of the big men
of the Republican party and OF
the nation. I'm Mellon has that
in view for Reed he will not have
to do all the work himself, for
Reed is a bundle of energy.
He is az years old this year,
a lawyer, has a couple Of degrees
and the only man in the senate
today who was a member of the
