The man today who does not own his own
home is little better off than the old nomads who
roamed about living little while here and

protect him from the elements.
The modern nomad lives little while here
and little while there in rented home, moving
each year in the hope of lettering his condition;
paying higher price to try out another spot,
but there's little difference.
The old nomad, whose most permanent roof
was the blue heaven above had it all over the
moderns, who are rooted and walled in cramped
quarters, constantly sufferlord bound by one
sided iron ribbed lord, bound by one-sde iron
ribbed leases. The old nomad had the freedom
of Gods health giving fresh air and the sunshine
in abundance

full, happy.

Interest

m TX persons attended the open
ID forum at the Chamber of
IL Commerce the other night to
discuss proposals regarding the
State primary law. The attendance
figure includes those there in off,
cial capacity.
Even a vivid Imagination couldn't
term it a mass meeting. Yet it was
called for common discussion Of a
live subject OF current public inter.
est.
In view. of this practically unani-
nous lack of interest one might con
clude that the flame OF community
spirit burns low in Indianapolis.
Legitimate causes might have
been responsible for the painfully
slender turnout at this particular as
sembIy. But other public forums
at the Chamber Of Commerce IN re
cent months drew equally crushing
emptiness.
The fact that there is no public I'm
terest here in such meetings is ines
capable
Fifty years ago open discussion Of
any subject from the Nebular Hy-
pothesis to the weather would have
drawn a capacity crowd in this city
Today no serious debate draws a
handful. Yet Union Station would
be damned to greet Jackie Coogan.
Are we too absorbed in private af-
fairs to take interest in public mat
ters? Is it lack OF civic spirit or
just bad attack Of inertia?

UTILITIES AND COURTS

APPEARS that the public utility regulation question
is rapidly approaching showdown in Indiana. The bill
Introduced by Senator Barker designed prevent utilities from
appealing Federal district for higher step

The action of public service companies in taking their

Income Tax

Reduction of the income tax was
Effected by the revenue act OF 1924.
A rate reduction. however, was not
the only benefit afforded by this leg
islatioq. Increase in the exemption
for married persons and heads of
families, rs per cent reduction on
earned income!'' and other changes
are of immediate interest to every
taxpayer. AS an aid. therefore, in
tn preparation. of income tax re-
turns for the year 1924, the Bureau
of Internal Revenue has prepared
series of articles on the new act
and the regulations governing its adj
ministration, of which this is the
first. The salarfed man, wage Garner,
professional and business man-in
fact every class of taxpayer-will
be fully informed of their require
ments and privileges. Taxpayers
are advised to preserve these arfNles
as a guide m the making of their
returns.
Returns are required Of every sin.
gle person whose net income for
1924 was 81 900 or more. or whose
gross income was $4,000 or More
and of every married person living
with husband or wife whose net in
come was $4,000 or more or whose
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Divorces are married persons sep
arated by mutual consent as classed
as single persons. Married persons
living together are required to file
a return If their aggregate net in
come was $4,000 or more or the ag-
gregate gross income was 1000 or
more.
Husband and wife living together
may include the income Of each in a
single Joint return, or each may file
separate returns showing the in
come of each. Where a point re-
turn is filed, the tax is computed
on the aggregate income and all
deductions and credits to which
either is entitled is taken from such
aggregate incoina
If wife does not file a separate
return or join with her husband in
a return, the husband is required
to include in his return all income
received by the wife in payment of
wages, salary. or from the sale Of
products OF her labor. In the returns
Of married persons must be icluded
also the income Of dependent minor
children.
1t should be remembered that a
husband and wife living together
need make no return unless their
aggregate net income for 1924 was
$500 or more or the aggregate
gross income was $4,000 or more.
Last year returns were required Of
such married persons whose aggre-
gate net income was $4,000 or more.
