ARE YOU OVERPAYNG
YOUR INCOME TAXES?

TACOMA, Wash. Feb. 12.-Nearly
three-fourths of the persons making
out their income tax returns are over
paying the government, according to
Burns Poe, Collector of Internal Rev
enue. The new law provides for an
additional credit based on the amount
of the taxpayers net earned income,
with certain limitations. For example,
If single man working for salary
had an income of $25O0, he would be
entitled first to a personal exemption
of $1,000. If he had no other de-
ductions to make, in the way Of taxes,
contributions, ETC., his taxable net in
come would be 1880. The normal
tax of per cent would amount to
$50. He may also credit himself with
25 per cent (of the tax due on earned
income) if $50, or $7.25, and has to
remit to the Collector of Internal
Revenue the remaining sum of $22.-
rs. Such amount may be paid in full
or in quarteEly installments.
The term learned income" means
wages, salaries, professional fees, and
other amounts received as compensas
.tion fer personal asrVicea .actnalla
Rendered, but does not include tkdt
part of the compensation derived by
the taxpayer for personal services
rendered by him to a corporation
which represents a distribution OF
earnings or profits rather than a
reasonable allowance as compensa-
tion for the personal services actually
rendered. In the case of taxpayer
engaged in trade or business in
which both personal services and cap
ital are material income producing
factors, reasonable allowance as
compensation for the personal SER
vices actually rendered by the tax
payer, not in excess of 20 per cent OF
his share of the net profits of such
trade or business, shall be considered
as earned income.
The term learned net income"
means the excess of the amount Of
the earned income over the sum of
the earned income deductions. If the
taxpayers net income is not more
than $4,000, his entire net income
shall be considered as earned net in
come, and if his net income is more
than $4,000, his earned net income
shall not be considered to be less than
$4,000. In no case shall the earned
net income be considered to be more
than $4,000.

ers, or their private employees, are
given absolute and despotic control of
the discipline of the prisons where
they operate, and they are permitted
to work the convicts under the vicious
task" system. The task" demanded
in every instance is a greater pro-
duction than free workers achieve.
Almost universally the prison labor
contractors foreman has the deter
mining power in the administration of
punishments, and nine-tenths of all
punishments administered to prison
ers are for failure to make the task, +"
and not for bad behavior.
No other industry has ever succeed
ed in inducing the taxpayers to pay
all the overhead, and the state to pro-
vide slave labor at a fraction of the
maintenance cost. Yet this is exactly
what the prison labor contractors
have ''put over" on the American peo-
pie.
These conditions would not exist 30
days if the taxpayers refused to pat
ronize convict labor contractors, and
If every member Of organized labor
and every other decent-minded cit
izen demanded the union label on
their purchases.
Don't waste your breath cussing the
politicians and prison labor cOnsrac-
tors.
Stop buying prisOn-made gOodsl.

Prison Labor Is Subsidized Industry
BY PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT, UNITED GARMENT
WORKERS OF AMERICA

Prison labor for private profit is
the most lavishly tax-subsidized in
dustry in the United States. Politic-
ians have dealt generously with many
great industrial organizations, but to
none have they shown such tender,
paternal love as to the prison labor
trust.
By some strange process of reason
ing the American people seem to have
arrived at the conclusion that the men
who exploit convict labor perform
some great social service, and there
by have earned unusual rewards.
These willy gents have not only been
able to pile up enormous fortunes by
prison labor contracts, but they have
posed as public benefactors, philan-
thrOpists and model citizens. They
have headed religious, social service
and prison reform organizations and
gathered to themselves both wealth
and fespectability.
The favored gentlemen who operate
their factories in prisons are present
ed by the taxpayers with rent, heat,
light. drayage, power, supervision Of
working force, and labor, fed, housed
clothed and enslaved, for which they
pay less than one-sixth the going
wage ia a given industry.
Then, to crown our paternalistic
generosity, the convict labor exploit

The opinion was expressed that the
Michigan authorities had made
grave mistake in sentencing Ruthen-
berg to prison, for it only gave him
an opportunity to pose before the
country as a martyr and afforded his
confederates a chance to reap a har-
vest of small change from the gullible
after shedding oceans of crocodile
tears all over the landscape. Activi-
ties of the Communists in all parts of
the country indicate that this is
correct diagnosis.
Ruthenberg and w. 2. Foster, the
chairman of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party of America, were severely
censured during the debate on the res
| olution for the manifesto which they
wrote, signed and published on the
death of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
The manifesto was a vile attack on
the character of the head of the bona
fide American labor movement while
he lay on his death bed, and was made
public ID hours before he died. 1t
was not only an attack upon one of
the greatest characters that Ameri-
can union labor has produced, but was
an assault upon the movement itself,
which was visited with wholesale con-
demnation at the critical hour Of
/ death.
i Communists Are Scored
When the Communists tried to put
across their resolution in behalf of
Ruthenberg, they were told plainly
THAT they showed supreme and I'M
maculate gall in asking sympathy and
support from bona fde trade unions
after all of the crimes that the Com
munists had committed against them.
Trade unionists throughout the
world should bear in mind that the
American Bolshevik crowd has it's
headquarters in Chicago, that all of
the party publications are issued from
this city, that all of their plots and
Vaccinations are Matched here, and
that Chicago trade unionists therefore
are afforded an intimate closeup of
this unholy crew. Chicago trade
unionists have sized them up, inspect
ed them, weighed them and want them
not.
