Dramatic memories Of Amer

you everywhere you go in Castle
ton, vt. On the main East and
West road across the State it
was a favorite meeting place for
soldiers, political and military
leaders in re-Revolutionary days.
Here it was that Benedict Ar

Green Mountain Boys on May 9,

tons Tavern to plan their STRAIT

whose surrender the towering
Ethan Allen subsequently de-
manded "in the name of the
Great Jehovah and the Conti-
mental Congress" Thus he made
certain the first military offen-

Benedict Arnold, it will be re-

ambitious, young rebel against
the forces of King George III,
although he later turned arch
traitor to the cause of American
independence.
Except for one day in the year,
when its townspeople, young and
old, join in celebrating Colonial
Day." Castleton is a picturesque
modern town. seat of the Castle

is allocated the annual rentals

endure "as long as wood grows

when Castleton was chartered in
1761.

opening its famous Dake homes

throngs come in increasing num-

Castleton's hospitality.
In the morning there is a pa

Thrifty Calves

Calves and heifers, like babies
and growing children, need the best
available feed. Some day this stock
will be the milking herd and, I'M
less they are big, roomy, thrifty
cows, production will not be as
high as it should.
Many dairy cows are small and
lack the capacity to handle large
quantities of good hay and silage
primarily because they were fed
insufficiently as calves and heifers.
Failure to supply plenty of nutri-
ents to young calves will result
in a slower growth rate, and The
calves may be stunted permanent
ly.
According to DR.. ]. W. Pou, head
of the University of Maryland
Dairy Department, dairy calves
need to be fed literally with easily
digested feeds that will furnish
large amounts of of energy, or
total digestible nutrients. Liberal
supplies of good quality protein
and sufficient quantities of the ~
sential minerals and vitamins are
also needed.

Income Tax Law Of Maryland
Discussed by Comptroller Tawes

taxpayer for each dependent; if the
dependent has attained the age of
65 years, an additional credit of
5000 is allowed.
Definition of Defendant
The term dependent" means a
person related to the taxpayer, who
had a gross income of less than
$500 during the year, and over half
of whose support for the taxable
year was received from the tax
payer.
The dependent need not reside
with the taxpayer but he must be
a resident of the United States or
of a country contiguous to the
United States.
Differing from the Federal law
in this connection, the credit al
lowed for dependents must be pro-
rated when the dependent is sup
ported for period less than
full taxable year.
Head of Family
Under the Maryland law the
status "head of a family" still
exists. The term means an individ-
ual who maintains in one house
hold, one or more dependents who
come within the definition of de-
pendent as set forth herein. This
status accords the taxpayer per-
sonal exemption of $4,000.
However, his requirements for
filing are based on the gross in
come figure for single person, or
$1,000. 1t is important to note that
in head of the family cases the
dependent must be maintained in
the same household with the tax
payer.
In determining the dependent
credit in head of the family cases
one dependent must be excluded.
Thus a person qualifying as head
of the family but having one de-
pendent is allowed a personal ex-
emption of $4,000.
A person qualifying as head of
family and having two dependents
is allowed a personal exemption of
$4,000 plus a dependent credit of
5000.

"More than 90 percent of the ba-

Gently completed by the U. s. Pub

Maryland had registration com

compared with 97.1 percent in 1910.
Many of the unregistered births
come to the attention of this De-
partment at the ime of school en-
rollmen.
"Much of the increase in the
percentage of births registered
may be attributed to the hospitals
and TO physician-attended births.
Over ten-year period from
1910 TO 1850 about 95 percent of
all births in this State are esti-

obtaining records of birth not hos

(This is the second IN series
of income tao articles by J. Nil
ard Taa0es, Comptroller of the
Treasury, State of MaryIand.)
In our first installment we set
forth the requirements for filing a
return in the State of Maryland.
Briefly stated, when the gross in
come of single person exceeds
$1,000 or when the combined gross
income of husband and wife living
together exceeds $4,000, a return
is to be filed.
Il When these sums are exceeded,
Va return should be filed even though
the person may have deductions
and dependents sufficient to re-
quire the payment of no tax.
With respect to married persons
it should be borne in mind that it
is the combined gross income that
determines the requirements for
filing the return.
Tax Liability of Residents
The law imposes the tax on the
entire gross income of a resident.
Thus, if a resident of Maryland
receives income from employment
outside of Maryland or from sour
ces without this State, it must be
included in the return.
Liability of Non Residents
A nonresident of this State is
subject to tax on income from
Maryland sources. Such sources in
clude. salary or wages paid for
services performed within this
State, income received from trade,
business or profession, carried on
within this State, ground rents and
!. rents from property located within
Maryland.
The operation of farm within
Maryland is considered the carry
ing on of a business and persons
who are not residents but own
and operate farms within Mary
land come within the requirements
for filing returns in this State.
Definition of Resident
The term PRESIDENT" means an
individual domiciled in this State
on the last day of the taxable
year, or one who for more than
six months of the taxable year
maintained a place of abode here,
whether domiciled or not.
Domicile means a persons fixed
or permanent place of abode. In
this connection one should not be-
come confused with laws having
to do with voting. Such laws are
separate and distinct from income
tax laws and the requirements US
ually differ.
Whether or not a person votes
in Maryland is not in itself con-
trolling in determining whether or
not he is domiciled here for income
ia N poses.
Allowable Personal Exemptions
The law provides a personal ex-
emption of $1,000 for single per-
sons or for married persons not
living with spouse. Husband and
wife living together are allowed
a personal exemption of $4,000. An
additional personal exemption of
$1,000 is allowed taxpayers or their
spouses who have attained the age
of 65 years or who are blind with
in the degree set forth in law.
A credit of 5000 is allowed the
