The affected places include the north

The Wickersham Commission faces
the possibility of being moneyless be-

INCOME TAX FACTS

No. 81.
The Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. has at its command many
sources for checking up delin-
quent taxpayers. One of them
is the information at source
provision of the revenue act.
Under this provision all indi-
viduals, corporations, partner
ships, associations, executors, adj
ministrators, ETC., are required to
report to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue at Washington,
d. c., payment to another person
fixed or determinable income"
of $500 or more during the
calender year, if the recipient of
such payment is single. If the
recipient IS married, report must
be made if the payments aggre-
gated $500 or more. If the
marital status of the payee Is UNI
known to the payor, the payee is
considered single person for the
purpose of filing an information
return.
Fixed or determinable income
includes salaries, wages, pre-
miums, annuities, rents, royalties,
etc. The requirements are not
limited to periodical payments,
but a single payment must be
reported. A separate return of
information for each employe is
required of employers.
Corporations are required to
make also a separate report of
dividends or distributions for
each individual, f1duciary or
partnership holder who was paid
$500 or more during the calendar
year 1880.
Information returns are re-
quired on Form 1899 and must
be accompanied by a letter of
transmittal on Form 1896. The
filing date Is on or before Febru-
airy Is.
Information returns, millions Of
which are filed annually, are
carefully compared with the in
dividual returns of taxpayers to
whom payments are made. Many
delinquent returns and additional
revenue amounting to hundreds
of thousands of dollars are Sc
cured as the result of the ex-
animation Of information returns.

CHICAGO, March 5.-There's
no depression in the face-svap-
ping business.
At least 10 persons in Chicago
get SO tired of their faces each
month that they write to the
medical society asking for recon-
mendations of surgeons who spe-
cialize in making folks beautiful.
This was disclosed today by
DR.. N. S. Davis, III, secretary Of
the society, who said love affairs
as we'll as the desire to become
socially prominent or successful
in business were the motives be-
hind the correspondence.
The society, however, doesn't
go in for romance, and will not
recommend surgeons to those who
merely want a change because
they are not satisfied with the
looks Of the original model.
