! for the year 1923 computed in accord
ance with the proposed amendment to
tho existing law to reduce the normal

The governments answer in such
cases is that the tax on income FOR
the ycnr 1923 is being collected under
the revenu, act ef 1921. which is still
| in effect. and which provides a normal
tax rate of 4 per cent. on the first
$1,000 of net income in excess of the
exemptions and credits and s per cent
on the remaining net income.
In the making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1923. taxpayers of
every class. business and professional
men. saaried persons. wage earners
and farmers should present 10 them
selves for consideration the following
questions:
Did you receive any interests on
bank depositsr

you receive rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of dividends or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses during
the year?
Did you make any profit on the sale
of stocks. bonds. etc?
Did you act as broker In any tran
saction for which you received a COM
mission
Are you interested in any partner
ship or other firm from which you re-
ceive income?
Have you any income from royal
ties or paterts1
Have you any minor children who
are working?
Have YOU control of the earnings Of
such children If so. the amount must
be included in the parents return Of
income.
Has your wife any income from any
source whatever? II so. il must be
included in your return, or reported in
separate return of income.
Did you receive any directors fees
or trustees fees in the course OF the
year?
