V, Keeling, English trade unionist, in an interview in the Westminster Gazette. He recent ly arrived in England from Russia, where he spent five years in close contact with the Russia working classes. Mr. Keeling, who frankly admits that lie was at first attracted by Bolshevist ideas, says that Bol shevism in its present phase is nothing less than a "starvation con spiracy." He believes that when Lenine and Trotzky show the slight est sign of weakening they will be done for. As a result, he said, they simply go ahead "working their ma chins round and round and grinding out anybody they think is danger ous. "On one side," he continues, "the millions of p'eople too absorbed with the thought of how to get food for themselves, their wives and children to think of anything beyond the mo ment and are too exhausted to re sist, and on the other a favored few, relatively well fed, prepared for any violence and cruelty to save them sleves from losing their privileges and slipping into the vortex of fam ine. For whatever may have been the original idea of Bolshevism, its secret now is simply that it confers upon some and denies to others the privilege of eating and that all its other deeds of violence and cruelty are as nothing to the supreme cruelty of withholding food." Asked why the Russians do not revolt and smash the whole thing, Mr. Keeling said: "The Russians have been used to tyranny and have a sort of submis siveness which makes them accept things, hut I can assure you that they are sick to death of it and that nine-tenths of the people who keep in touch with the Bolshevists and have to pretend to like them would do anything to get rid of them If they knew how."

HOW TO TOTAL INCOME TAX YOU MUST PAY UNCLE SAM Important Details of New Act Explained For Beneffit of Taxpayers; Returns Must Be Filed by March 15 to Escape Drastic Penalty | Within the next three weeks, or by March 15, every unmarried man or woman who earned SI,OOO or more in the calendar year 1918 and every married person whoso income amounted to $2,000 or more must make a detailed report of his in come to the Federal revenue collec tor of his district. On or before March 15 the first installment of | the income tax must be paid, one- I fourth of the entire amount duo, or all of it if the taxpayer chooses. | This means that millions of Amer icans must get to work at once to i prepare their returns, and for the I guidance of taxpayers the Internal j Revenue Bureau has issued explicit | instructions covering the prepara tion and filling of returns. This is the A B C of the procedure: First get a tax return form from the revenue collector's office or from a bank. There are many kinds of these forms. If a person's income was below $5,000 he should ask for the form especially intended for the smaller incomes. It might be ad visable to get two or three of these forms, since one may be spoiled in the preparation. The form is a six page printed sheet, with detailed in structions for reporting various items of income and for calculating the tax due. By following this form closely even an inexperienced person prob ably will have little difficulty, par ticularly if his source of income was not complicated or if it was in wages or salary rather than in busi ness transactions. The tax rate for most individuals is C per cent. For a single person this is imposed on the difference between the total net income for the year and SI,OOO, the so-called ex empted amount. For a married man or for the heads of a family, the exemption is $2,000, and the 0 per cent, tax is imposed on the differ ence between that and the total in come. There is provision for an ad ditional exemption of S2OO for each child or other dependent person un der eighteen years of age or incapa ble of self-support. Thus a married man with one child pr an aged par ent would have an exemption of $2,- 200 and would pay tax on the differ ence between this and his net in come. A man with two children would have an exemption of $2,400; three children, $2,600, and so on. Calculation of Tax To illustrate the calculation of tax: A single man with a net income last year of $2,000 will be taxed S6O; income of $3,000, tax $120; income of $4,000, tax $180; income of $5,- 000, $240. A married man without children i and with an income of $2,500 last | year will pay a tax of S3O; income $3,000, tax S6O; income of $4,000, tax $120; income of $5,000, tax * IBO - . The regular or normal tax is l per cent, on incomes of more than $5,000 in case of unmarried persons and more than $6,000 in the case of married persons without children. In other words, the tax is doubled on incomes of $4,000 more than the specific exemption. In addition, so called surtaxes superimposed on the regular or normal taxes arc assessed on net incomes of more than $5,000, the additional rate being 1 per cent, for the first SI,OOO above that sum, 2 per cent, for the next $2,000, 3 per cent, for the next $2,000 and 1 per cent increase for each addi tional $2,000. Both the 12 per cent, rate and the surtaxes may be ignor ed by persons with incomes of less than $5,000. After the tax is figured a person must count at least on flaying on ®" fourth of the sum by March 15. The second installment of one-fourth is due June 15; the third quarter, Sep tember 15; and the last installment, I December 15. Penalties are pro vided for failure to tile on time or to pay the tax promptly, and tax officials welcome returns and pay ments before March 15. Payment in full by March 15 also will be wel comed, on the ground that the gov ernment needs the money. A husband and wife whose com bined net income for 1918 amounted to $2,000 or more must file a re turn, either separately or jointly. If separate returns ure tiled either may claim the personal exemption of $2,000, or the exemption may be divided. Darnings of dependent chil dren must be included as part of the income of the head of the fam ily. If an unmarried person supports either partially or wholly a parent or some other relative or friend not living in the same household, this person is not considered the head of a family and is therefore entitled only to the SI,OOO exemption. If the parent is wholly dependent, how ever, and lives in the taxpayer s household, this makes the unmarried person the "head of the family. If, because of the special exemp tions for children and dependents or because of the exemption of sol dier and sailors' pay, an unmarried person's income of more than SI,OOO or a married person's income of more than $2,000 is found not to be taxable this condition does not tree this Individual from filing a return. Thus many persons who do not have to pay a tax must file returns. Head of Family Described A head of a family is described officially as "a person who supports one or more persons closely connect ed with hint by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption." The compensation in 1918 of a man in the military or naval service, either as an enlisted man or an of ficer, is wholly exempt from taxation, provided this did not exceed $8,500. Tncome of soldiers or sailors from private sources is taxable, however, if it exceeds the exemptions. In figuring net income, deductions may not be made for personal, fam ily or living expenses. Allowable Deductions The law does not provide for a number of deductions, however, from gross income, and these are of great interest mainly to men who made a living out of business en terprises. These allowable deductions include the following items: Expenses paid or incurred during 1918 in carrying on any trade or business, including rentals and a rea sonable allowance for salaries. Interest paid or accrued in 1918, except on indebtedness incurred for the purchase of tax-exempt stocks or bonds. Taxes paid or accrued, except in come. war profits and excess profits taxes and those •• wrwl ngains! local untied'" of a I tending to improve value of t'.i ■ propertv.

Amortization on building, machin ery, equipment or other facilities constructed or acquired for tho pro duction of articles contributing to the prosecution of the war. The preceding items must be re ported in the return and deducted according to the method set forth in the return blank form. The following items are exempt from taxation and need not be in cluded in the returns: Proceeds of life insurance policies; i returns of premiums on life, endow ment and annuity policies; gifts, be quests or inheritances (income from gifts is taxable, however); interest on bonds of any state, county or municipality; interest on farm loan bonds; interest on $5,000 or less of Liberty Bonds, and on .larger amounts in certain cases provided by the bond act; payments on ac count of accident or health insur ance or underworkman's compensa tion acls. Demotion of Frauds To detect inaccuracies or fraud in returns, the Internal Revenue Bu reau has instituted a system of checking returns with other reports required from all persons or inter esls which paid out SI,OOO or more to any individual during the year. The latter reports constitute tho tax collecting machinery's "information at the source," which proved so val uable last year in preventing tax dodging. In addition to income faxes, there is a multiplicity of other taxes to be assessed this year. Incorporated businesses are required to pay taxes on net incomes at the rate of 12 per cent, with an exception of $2,000. War profits and excess profits taxes are assessed against corporations only. The revenue bureau has made a provision for accepting tentative esti mates of income in cases where tax payers are not able to figure accu rately their incomes before March 15. In these cases, however, an In stallment payment of one-fourth of the estimated amount is required on that date, and tax officials will guard against any attempt to evade or minimize the lax payment then through setting an unreasonably low estimate. , NEW HEATING SYSTEMS DESIGNED OLD HEATING SYSTEMS CORRECTED MORE HEAT.
