Federal Income Tax Information

TACOMA, Jan. 5 (SpeciaD -
 More than 130,000 Federal in come tax returns for the year
 1888, the largest number since
 1924, are being mailed 10 tax payers in anticipation of the an- nual filing date of March 18th, it was announced by Thor w. Hen ricksen, Acting Collector of h. ternal Revenue.
 The 1888 forms being mailed individual taxpayers are similar 10 the simplified report adopted last year. The Revenue Act of 1888 now in effect maintains the normal rate of four percent for individuals and a similar sched- Ule of SurtaXes for persons of larger incomes. The new forms provide for a determination of net gain or loss from sale or ex- change of capital assets under the mex percentages adopted un der the Revenue Act of 1888.
 The filing of duplicate forms is again a requirement under the law and each taxpayer is furnish ed the green duplicates necessary to be filed and retained for his own purposes.
 The individual income tax re- turn, Form 1O40, for net incomes or more than $5,0000O from sal aries, wages, dividends, annuities and incomes from other sources, regardless of amounts, will be folded at the top instead of the side as in 1887 and previous years. The Collector stated, 'This change was made as a ser vice to the taxpaying public in response to many requests that the form be folded in this man. ner to facilitate the typing of figures and the preparation cop ids There is no Substantial change in Form l040-A designed for reporting of net incomes of less than $5,000.00 derived from salaries, wages, dividends, in- terests and annuities.
 The fduciary and partnership forms, 1041 and 1065 respective ly, have undergone extensive re- vision. These forms printed on paper of similar color as previous ly, have been reduced from large single sheets to four-page forms similar to the individual return Form l040. Two major changes in contents involve the capital gain schedule necessitat- ed by the Revenue Act of 1888, and the schedule on both forms has been broadened to facilitate the computation by the fiduciary or partnership of various types of income flowing to respective beneficiaries and partnership 
 A new form, to be known as ll20-A, reduced to four pages, will generally used by corpor- ations have total receipts during the taxable period of not more than $250,000.00 and net incomes

other nations ships which have
recently anchored in American
waters, either at Rebecca Light,
at Northwest Channel or in Key

UNEMPLOYMENT
FIGURES DROP
STATE SERVICE RELEASES
SEPTEMBER
DATA

TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 49,
The active file of the Florida
State Employment Service de-
creased 5000 during September
although 9,498 additional applica-
tons for work were accepted in
this same period, according to
Fons A. Hathaway, director of
the service.
1.-The splendid cooperation of
the employers is noticeable in the
increased number of private
placements the service is making,
Hathaway said. in September
the Employment Service broke
all records for this type of place
ment when Ito unemployed
workers were placed in employ
ment with private concerns.
''This is also a clear indication
that business conditions in Flor
ida are definitely on the upgrade
and with the coming of the win
ter season, the Employment
Service expects to place thou
sands of jobless Floridians back
in the ranks of the employed.
"The Employment Service now
has 45,330 men and 1886 women
registered for work and from
this list an employer can secure
competent and qualified help for
any type of work, at no cost to
himself or the worker, Hath
away stated.
