The income tax man is sending out
reminders that it will soon be time
to pay this tax again.
There is a biz OF consolation, how
ever, that your income tax will be less
in proportion TO your income than 1t
was the year before.
A rate reduction, however, is not
the only benefit afforded by the rev.
enue act of 1924 Increase in the ex-
emption for married persons, rs per
cent reduction on earned income,
and- other changes in revenue legisla-
ton are OF immediate interest to ev-
cry taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924 was
$1,000 or more or whose gross in
come was $4,000 or more, and by ev-
cry married couple whose aggregate
net income was $500 or more, or
whose aggregate gross income was
$4,000 or more. Last year returns were
required of married couples whose
aggregate net income was $4,000 or
more. Husband and wife, living to-
gether, may include the income OF
each in a single joint return, or each
may file a separate return showing the
income of each. Net income is gross
income less certain specified reduc-
tons for business expenses, losses,
bad debt, contributions, etc.
Must File By March 18th.
The period for filing returns is
from January l to March IS, 1925.
The return, accompanied by at least
one-fourth of the amount of tax due,
must be filed with the collector of in
ternal revenue for the district iii which
the taxpayer has his legal residence
or has his principal place of business.
The taxpayer must include in his
return all items of gross income spe-
Gifted by law. In the case OF store
keeper gross income usually consists
of gross profits on sales, together with
income from other sources. The re-
turn must show the gross sales, pur-
chases and cost of goods sold. The
professional man, lawyer, doctor, dent
ist. must include all fees and other
compensation received from profess
sional services. The farmer must re-
port as gross income the proceeds OF
sales or exchange of products raised
on the farm or whether purchased by
him and resold. He must report also
gross income from all other sources,

Betterments in some lines OF agri-
culture, he continues, have been due
to two causes. the failure of crops in

Due to the interest in the child la
Dor question resulting from the agita-
ton of the proposed twentieth amend
ment to the constitution the children's
bureau of the U. S. Department OF
Labor has issued revised edition OF
one OF its publications, entitled
Child Labor in the United States"
The pamphlet answers 10 questions
propounded in relation to the amend
ment Md too, according to Mrs.
Eleanor Marsh. one OF the bureau Of
fcials, seeks to give the facts relating
to child labor as nearly as they can
be ascertained by impartial result This
text book for both sides
12,5O2,OOO Between 10 and IS.
In regard to the number of children
in the United States who are employ
ed the pamphlet points out that, ac-
cording to the 1920 census, there were
100000 children between the ages
of 10 and Is, inclusive, OF whom 8.5
per cent, or 1,060,S5S, were employed.
There were more than two employed
boys to every girl employed.
Concerning e occupations in
which children are engaged, the chill
dren's bureau states that in 1920 there
were 647, 309 children employed in
agricultural pursuits, majority OF
these being employed on the home
farm Manufacturing enterprises en-
ployed 185,337 of the children in me
chanical industries-cotton, silk and
wooden mills, and cigar, clothing and
furniture factories and canneries and
work shops.
Approximately 10000 children were
engaged in clerical work, $4,000 in
trade and $4,000, mostly girls, doing
domestic and personal service. More
than 1000 boys were engaged in min
ling operations.
Not Confined to Any Section.
! Experts of the labor department in
dictate that child labor is not confined
contrary to the general belief, to any
one section of the country, although
it predominates in the south. Missis-
sippi, with 25.5 per cent of its chill
dren between the ages OF III and IL
employed, being the highest, with
South Carolina and Alabama having
percentages almost as high.
OF the New England states Rhode
Island, with 1874 per cent, had the
largest number OF children between
/ the ages of 10 and Is employed. Mas
sachusetts was next highest in the
New England group, with SO per cent
In regard to the sections OF the
country in which the largest number
of children are at work, the report
says that when all occupations are
taken into account the proportion OF
children at work was much larger i'll
the south than in any other section
of the country; but when non-agricul-
tural occupations alone are considered
the proportion was considerably larg-
err for New England and the middle
Atlantic states and slightly larger for
the east and north central states
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin-than for any OF the three
southern geographical divisions"
The 1920 census records a decrease
