YOUR INCOME
 TAX

| Of the millions Of income tax re- turns that are filed annually, tho vast majority are from salaried per sons and wage earners whose in- come is derived from personal serv- ices.
 In general, compensation for per sonal services should be reported fol taxation purposes in the year it iS received or unqualifiedly made sub- ject to demand
 Compensation credited to the ac- count of or set apart for taxpayer without any substantial limita tior or restriction, and which may be drawn upon by him at any time, is subject to tax for the year during which so credited or set apart, al though not then actually reduced tc possession.
 If the services were rendered dur ing the year 1886, or even prior thereto. but the compensation was not received, or made unqualifiedly subject to demand, by the taxpayer until the year 1887, the entire amount is taxable in the year re- ceived or made unqualifiedly sub ject to demand, when the taxpayer is reporting on the cash receipts and disbursements basis, which is the basis used by most persons in reporting net income.
 The names of all employees to whom payments of $1000 or over year are made must be reported The information return should be made on Form 1899, accompanied by transmital Form 1096 showing the number of returns filed. These returns should be filed on or be- fore February 15, 1888.

 Where services are paid for in whole or in part with something other than money, the fair market value of the thing taken in pay ment must be included as income.
 Other items subject to tax are fees received by ministers of the gospel for funerals, baptisms, masses, and like services; executors fees; and prizes received in con- tests of various kinds.
 The salaries of Federal officers and employees are subject to tax, including the salary of the President of the United States and judges of courts of the United States taking office after the date of enactment of the Revenue Act of 1892, which was June 6. 1892.

Number, Please?
Philadelphia Record)


 Whats your number?
 Though you may have forgotten, you have lot of numbers To the Motor Vehicle Commissioner you may be No. 45324567. To the Social Security Board No. 5555555. To the Inco Tax Bureau, No 123456789
 Yet wonder whether the day is so far off when each of us will have our numbers merged and instead of having a name be known merely MT 4533246? Or Mrs. 62S262?
 We note the apology of the Atlanta pententiary authorities for publishing article in the prison magazine with the wrong by-lne. It should have been By No 46071." But aren't we all numbers now to the phone company? And at lunch we suddenly realized that weren't ordering ham and beans but simply No. 53 the menu
 The future possibilities can be approximated We vision a nation not only of numerical citizens we vision, too, a special class. Those with influence will have low numbers. If you are introduced to MT 43 you can be sure he is either member of the Cab met or Senator. Numbers from 100 to 1000 will cover the House of Representatives and few of the more influential bureaucrats, but even those in the 10000 class will be folks of stature not to be snffed at
 The problem of offspring need not complicate the system. In fact it should help keep family trees as straight as Lombardy popars. The first born will simply be No. 20456Sa. the second, 2O4569b and to avoid confusion the numbers of girls will be in Italics those of boys in regular type.
 What you may ask, in the case of quntuplets? We leave that problem to future bureaucrats You can be sure they'll have an answer for it.

Dean Noes Fast

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 The last into the shadow of death of Dean Israel H. Noe of Memphis in effort to exist spiritual sustenance' alone is event which virtually defies comment It is ridiculous yet beautiful demonstra tion of faith; it to be insane gesture, yet hesitates to call it insanity; it terrible thing, slow suicide
 Yet something gives pause to the critic. Here, ob- viously, is a with mind attuned to something beyond the ken of what might be called for want of a better term, the normal human mind though no mind is strictly normal"
 When one reads of Dean Noes hopeful hope less venture is minded of how the pagan Romans must have felt watching Christians accept the pitch and the torch rather than renounce their faith in invisible Deity. It is not parallel if interpret religion correctly. But there is something of the stuff about it-enough to tinge scorn pity, or anger with a shade of doubt.

The Baseball Racket

Late in February number OF
our local ball tossers went to Thorn
asville, Georgia, for two weeks,
where the Baltimore Orioles, Of the
International League, were conduct
ing a spring training camp.
The local boys all paid their own
expenses, including transportation
and board, with the understanding
that those given contracts would
have this expense money refunded.
Three Of them were given con-
tracts, Earl Richardson, of Rising
Sun; Douglas Woodwork, Of Ok
ford, Pa, and Jackie Myers, of
Havre de Grace.
Business Manager Harry O'Don-
nell, of the Dover, Del, club, noti-
fed the three boys to report at
Dover ON Tuesday, April 10th, which
they did, but none of them were
given a tryout on the Dover team,
and three hours after they had re-
ported at the Dover ball park were
told by Manager Kingdom that their
services would not be needed.
The boys while away practiced
with the Milford team, but were
given no opportunity to "show their
stuff" in Dover, nor did they re-
ceive any expense money. Their con-
tracts also were not returned to
them.
The local boys all feel they have
been handed a pretty raw" deal,
and with the Dover management still
holding their contracts they cannot
legally sign with any other team
should the opportunity present.
