100000 WOMEN
PAY INCOME TAX
RECEIVED WAS Sill
100000 IN ONE YEAR AND
NUMBER INCREASING.

Hundreds of thousands of women
annually file income tax returns and
pay income tax, says a statement just
issued by the United States in
ternal revenue office. No official es-
innate of the number of such returns
for the year 1928 can be given, but
statistics Of income for the year 1921,
the latest compilation of such figures,
show that for that year the number
was approximately 100000 The tax
assessed on the income reported by
women was more than Sll1,000,00O.
OF the total number of returns filed
by women 10000 were by wives who
made separate returns from husbands.
The amount Of tax collected from this
source was approximately S43,o0O,OUO.
More than 100000 women filed re-
turns as heads of families by reason
of the support in one household OF one
OF more relatives The exemptions
allowed the head of a family are 81
500 where the net income was S5,0OO
or less and $1,000 where the net in
come exceeded $4,000. Tax collec-
tions from these women amounted to
approximately $10,000,0O0. In addi-
ton there were filed approximately
100000 returns by single women, in
which term is included widows, di-
vorcees and women living apart from
their husbands. The amount OF tax
from this source was more than SoS,-
100000
A woman who was widowed during
the year 1928, unless the head OF a
family or remarked on or before De-
ccmber 81, 1928, may claim only an
exemption OF $1,000. A wife support
ing an invalid husband in sanitarlum
is entitled to an exemption of 81, 500 or
$1,000 according to whether her net
income was $4,000 or less or in ex-
cess OF $4,000. The separation IS one
OF necessity, and she is not consider

separation between husband and wife

person with respect to the income tax.

UNDERWOOD MAKES

COFFEE DRINKING IN US.
SHOWS BIG GAIN IN YEAR

The consumption of coffee in
America is on the increase.
Whether because of or in spite
of prohibition has not been stated.
Some mathematicians estimate that
while the average American cit

consumed 514 cups in 1928. At
any rate 9,4S2,30 bags were de-
livered from American ware
houses in 1922, as compared with
10,5S1,939 bags in 1923.
The estimated population of the
United States in 1923 was 100000

S8,673,486 INTERNAL
TAXES FROM GEORGIA
HEALTHIER AND MORE AC-
TIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS
OPINION AT TREASURY.

Internal taxes brought more money
to the government in the last six
months of 1928 than in the correspond
ing period Of 1922, showing, in the
opinion of treasury officials, healthier
and more active business condition
generally, inasmuch as the domestic
taxes are levied on scores of different
industrial and commercial pursuits.
Statistics of receipts between July
and Ian /, last, as made public by
the internal revenue bureau at Wash
ineton. showed payments to the gov
eminent of $1,339797,452 from all in
ternal 1evies, including income and
profit taxes Receipts Tor the cores
bonding period in 1922 were $1,l67,-
646,452.
Official opinion, however, is that the
increase as between the two periods
reflected prosperity in business efforts
that could be proved in no better way
than that generous returns to the own
ers developed greater payments OF
taxes.
New York, Pennsylvania and Hi
nois, in order furnished the greater
amount of taxes. Collections from
New York amounted to 1914, 163, 387,
Pennsylvania $126,O8l ,444, and Illinois
$lO4, 081, 1913. Total taxes paid by
states and territories for the last hall
of 1928 include:

Cong. Clague.
Speaks at Wanda
REPRESENTATIVE CLAGUE AD-
DRESSES LARGE CROWD OF
PICNICERS.

On Monday Congressman Frank
Clague, representative from this dis
trict delivered an interesting talk at
the big Wanda picnic held on Monday.
The picnic was a get-together of old
settlers, farmers and business men
from and near Wanda. Rep. Clague
just recently returned from Washing
ton after the close of the present ses-
sion.
"The country as whole is improv-
ing" declared Rep. Clague. Though
general conditions are bad conditions
should improve as a whole. While
the crops are exceedingly poor in tine
east, the crops in this section should
more than balance affairs. ''The
eastern crops will only average 1-3
to II of the normal production" and
consequently "prices of farm pro-
duets should increase" benefting the
farmer who has been hard hit, were
some of Congressman Clague's signi-
ficant statements.
Rep. Clague pointed out that the
people of the United States should
be exceedingly careful and steer away
from Socialistic tendencies and keep
our foundations "on solid rock. He
pointed out the result of Germany 5
attempt to try out Socialism and a
government builded on sand. Her
finances were completely ruined and
now she is trying to recover and get
back to normalcy.
The entire talk of Rep. Clague radi-
ated optimism for the people of the
United States and he made prophecy
of better conditions, particularly in
this section.
