Income Tax Problems
Simplifeld for All

Hote--This is the first Of q series 81
articles, authorized 6y tie Internal Rece-
nue Bureau, dealing soith IRE income faI
QUestion. The articles. based on the
act Of 1926 and dealing Uith all ne
latest regulations, are geritteH 10 clear

Thousands of letters have reached
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue rela'
tive to changes in tax legislation.
Taxpayers desire to know the benfits
to which they are entitled under the
revenue act of 1925 by way or In
creased exemptions, lower rates, the
credit Of 25 per cent Of the tax on
earned net income, and the allowable
deductions for business expenses,
losses, bad debts, contributions, etc.
The purpose of the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue is to answer these ques-
tons in a series of newspaper state
ments based on the revenue act of
1926 and the latest regulations relat-
ing to the income tax.
Income tax returns are required OF
every single person whose net income
or more; every married person, living
with husband or wife, whose net in
come was $500 or more, and every
person, single or married, whose gross
income was $4,000 or more, regardless
of net income.
IL the combined net income of hus-
band and wife was $500 or more, or
their combined gross income was
$1,000 or more, the income OF each
must be reported on a single joint
return or on separate returns showing
the income Of each. If a wife does
not file a separate return or join
with her husband in a joint return,
the husband is required to include in
his return all income received by the
wife In payment OF wages or salary,
or from the sale OF products of her
labor. In the returns of married per
sons must be included also the income
OF dependent minor children.
Divorces and married persons sepa
rated by mutual consent are classed as
single persons for the purpose of the
income tax laws.
Gross income, as defined by Treas.
ury regulations. includes, in general
compensation for personal and pro.
fessiona1 services, profits from sales of
and dealings in property, interest.
rent, dividends, and gains, profits and
income derived from any source what
ever, unless exempt from tax by law "
Net income upon which the tax is
assessed is gross income less certain
specified deductions for bushes ex.
penses, losses, bad debts, taxes, con.
tributions, etc.
The return for the calendar year
1926 must be filed with the collector
OF internal revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer has his legal resi-.
dence or principal place of business
on or before March 10, 1927. The tax
may be paid in fun at the time of Al.
ing the return, or in four equal in
stallnents, due on or before March

SHIFTING NATIONS LOAD
TO LOCAL TAXPAYERS
Editorial Correspondence OF The sta
BY THEODORE w. MOVES.

% i 4I1GOOOISEA w NO
The House appropriations subcom
mittee has begun its important labor
of framing the District bill.
1t has been suggested that some
members of the House appropriations
committee are annoyed at the per
sistent importunings of impotent
Washingtonians for Il return to the
definite proportionate plan Of National
contribution toward Capital mainte
nance and upbuildins. which is di
rected by the existing substantive law
and which. from 1878 to recent date
has benefited both Nation and Capt.
tai community and has converted the
Nations City from a source of shame
into an object of National pride. And
1t has been limited that if the helpless
Washingtonians. with only the privil-
eye of petition left to them. do not
cease to supplicate for what they real
" want and what they are convinced
Is wise and just they will be made to
suffer some drastic punishment; that
If they continue to complain they will
get something to cry about; and
that if, like Oliver Twist, they ask
for more, they will risk losing what
they have.
Washington will of necessity heed
this threat or warning in its appeals to
the House appropriations committee.
But the Capital community positively
refuses to believe that it cannot bring
TO the immediate attention of the
House committee the injustices in
application and the inadequacy in
amount of the nine millions lump sum
payment, without exasperating some
members of that committee into abuse
of the great power over the District
intrusted to them.
Certainty of Fair Play.
The appropriations committee is in
the very front rank in importance
and power among the congressional
committees. It's members are care
fully selected on the basis of ability,
force and influence. Membership
upon ii is priced, and once won is
not willingly surrendered. Long serv-
ice and experience in handling the
Nations finances have given this
committee an accumulated treasure
of pertinent facts, figures and prece-
dents and have made it's members ex-
perts in meeting real National needs
by adequate appropriations.
Washington does not now ask this
committee to. abandon the lump.sum
payment practice, but it does appeal
with confidence for just and even
sympathetic consideration Of it's petit
tons that in equity the lump-sum
payment of nine millions be increased
in this years District appropriation
bill. The District has no real cause
TO fear that it's petition will be ig-
nored because of pre-existing pref
udice or pride of preconceived opinion.
We of Washington urge: % That
existing substantive law authorizes
increase of the nine million lump
sum payment APP to an amount equal
TO 40 per cent Of the total sum car

FOWLER BACKS Bill!
TO SAFEGUARD SICK
Commissioners May Send
Favorable Report on Cope
land Measure Soon.

\ favorable report on the Copeland
bill. designed to protect the people
of the District from incompetent per
sons who undertake the care and
treatment Of the sick is expected to
be transmitted to Congress this week
by the Commissioners.
The measure has been given the
Endorsement Of DR.. William &. Fowler,
health officer, who pointed out in q
report to the commissioners that mot
infrequently complaints had been
made to the Health Department OF
the incompetent handling of sick per
sons by individuals who are clearly
without the fundamental knowledge
Of diseases Of the human body to
qualify them for this kind Of work.
Bill Is Compromise.
The bill was drafted as a compro-
mise 10 legislation introduced at the
last session of Congress to meet oppo-
sition which developed and, accord
ing TO DIR. Fowler, is acceptable to
the medical societies of the District
as well as the Osteopathic Society.
The chiropractors are opposed to this
proposed legislation, the health officer
explained, but the membership Of the
other organization "far outnumbers
LIIdJ Ol LIlS CIlIEOpEdGGOTS.
In this bill provision is made for
the creation of a board of medical
education and licensure to consist of
nine persons, six of whom are TO be
physicians who for five years next
preceding their appointment have
been residents and engaged in the
practice of medicine in the District
and three other persons HAVING the
same qualifications as to residence, at
least one of whom shall be learned
in the law and one an educator. provi-
sion is further made that the board
at no time shall include more than
three practitioners of any one system
Of medicine.
To Determine Fitness.
The function OF this board will be
TO determine the general qualifications
OF applicants to engage in the prac-
tice OF the healing art. In the organi.
cation of this board, it is proposed
that the medical members be repre-
sented as follows: Two from what is
known as the regular school of medi-
cine. one from the homeopathic, one
from the eclectic, one from the osteo.
pathic and one from the chiropractic.
The bill also sets up high educa-
tional standards for all persons en-
gagged in the healing arts. The quail
flcations now, according to Dr. Fowler,
are not as high as in most other large
cities. and the Copeland bill will, if
enacted into law. correct this condi-
ton and eliminate to a great extent
