Tax Reductions Take
Immediate Effect

The Revenue Act of 1924, approved
by President Coolidge on Monday
June 2, 1924, proved that any tax
payer making return for the calendar
year 1928 of taxes imposed by Parts l
and II of Title II of the Revenue Act
of 1921, shall be entitled to an allow
ance by credit or refund of 25 per cent
of the amount shown as the tax upon
his return. Parts I and ii of Title ii
of the Revenue Act of 1921 relate
only to individual income taxes for
1928 by 25 per cent.
If, at the time you filed your fedral
income tax return, you paid three
fourths of the amount of tax reported
no payment will be due until Septem-
Der 18th. If, at the time you filed
your return, you paid only one fourth
of the amount of tax reported. you
must pay on or before June 18th one
half of the amount paid by you when
YOU filed your return. The balance
of the tax due will then be ~pro-rated
over the remaining two installments.
The main point to be born in mind
is that n of the tax due from you
this year must have been paid on or
before June 18th.

Soldier Bonus Needs
Army of Clerks

The bitter fight over the soldiers
bonus having ended in victory for the
proponents of the measure the coun-
try must lay aside the objections that
were raised against it and prepare to
meet its obligations. The cost was
stated by President Coolidge in his
veto message, and it becomes more
impressive as the magnitude of the
task confronting the government is
realized.
A huge new administrative bureau
must be created at once and an army
of clerks numbering at least $500,
must be modified. The cost of
operating this bureau the first of the
year, before the ex-service men have
received a dollar of their bonus mon
ey, is estimated at S6,500,000. These
clerks must examine 1880 tons of do
cuments arrange in 7066 steel file
cases which would reach five miles if
placed end to end. They v 2.36
acres of floor space, and would fill 81
freight cars In that huge collection
are 167 100000 papeds covering the
records of 6,S93,000 men. In the
army files 5,25O,000 are eligible to
make claims under the bonus law,in
the navy, $4,000, and in the marine
corps $4,000.
For each of the next twenty years
the bonus law will require ar average
Appropriation will aggregate $780,
785,542, according to the estimates of
the Veterans Bureau. The estimates
of the Treasury Department r mat
erially higher, and if the past his
tory of Federal bureaus is accepted
as an indication the total cost to the
taxpayers will be a maximum figure
that nobody has yet dared to mention.
