The Versatile Barber.
Some years ago there was a boom
town, Blessing, on the gulf coast of
Texas, relates the New York Evening
Sun. A newcomer built a slinck there
near the railway station. On one side
he bad a barber chair and necessary
equipment, and on the other a forge
and anvil. Between the two trades he
managed to make a living.
One day a traveling salesman went
Into the shack, threw himself Into the
barber chair and asked that he be
shaved so he could catch a train that
was due In fifteen minutes.
The proprietor looked across the
shack and shook his head.
"Sorry, mister," he snld, "but there's
a plowshare ahead of you."

HIE HE TAX
EVERY GOOD AMERICAN EARNING
FAIR LIVING WILL HELP TO
. PAY EXPENSES OF WAR.
RETURNS DUE BEFORE MARCH
Heavy Penalties Provided for Failure
to File Them Government Officials
Will Be In Every County to Assist
the Taxpayers.
Washington. "Must I pay an In
come tax?"
'I'll, it Is tho fliiiMtlnn flint thousands
of Americans are asking. The answer,
in a general way, lies in tins state
ment :
Every unmarried person having a
net Income of $1,000 or more, and ev
ery married person or head of a fnm
lly having an Income of $2,000 or more
must file a return. These returns must
be In the hands of the collector of In
ternal revenue in the district In whlcl
the taxpayer lives or has his principal
pluce of business between January 1
and March 1, 1918.
The man who thinks to evndo this
tax Is making a serines error. Revenue
officials will be In every county to
check returns. Failure to malic a cor
rect return within the time specified
Involves henvy penalties.
"Net Income" means gross Income
less certain deductions provided for by
the act. The law defines Income ns
profit, gain, wages, salary, commis
sions, money or Its equivalent from
professions, vocations, commerce,
trade, rents, sales and dealings In prop
erty, reul and personal, and Interest
from Investments except Interest from
government bonds, or stnte, municipal
township or counly bonds. Incomes
from service ns guardian, trustee or
executor; from dividends, pensions,
royalties, or patents, or oil and gas
wells, coal Innd, etc., are taxable.
Normal Rate Is 2 Per Cent
The normnl rate of ti x Is 2 iter cent
on net Incomes above the amount f
exemptions, which Is $2,000 In the case
of a married person or h. ad of a fam
ily and $1,000 In the case cf a single
person. A married person bend of
a family Is allowed an nddi "nal ex
emption of $200 for each dt.i. ndunt
child if under eighteen years tf age
or Incapable of self-support bec.se
defective. The taxpayer Is considered
to be the head of a family If he Is
actually supporting one or more per
sons closely connected with liliu by
blood relatlon-.'ilp or relationship by
marriage, or If his duty to support
such person Is based on some moral
or legal obligation.
Debts ascertained to be worthless
nnd charged off within the year and
toxes paid except Income taxes nnd
those assessed against local benefits
ore deductible. These and other points
of the Income tax section of the war
revenue act will be fully explained by
revenue officers who will visit every
county In the United Stntes between
Jnnunry 2 and March 1 to assist tax
payers In making out their returns.
Officers to Visit Every Locality.
Notice of their nrrlvnl In each local
ity will be given In advance through
the press, banks nnd post offices. They
will be supplied with Income tax forms
copies of which may be obtained also
from collectors of Internnl revenue.
The bureau of Internnl revenue Is
seeking to Impress upon persons sub
ject to the tnx the fact that failure to
see this official In no wny relieves
them of the duty Imposed by Inw to
file their returns within the time speci
fied. The government Is not required to
seek the taxpayer. The taxpayer Is
required to seek the government. Per
sons In doubt ns to whether they are
subject to the tnx or not or ns to how
to make out their returns, will readily
understand, therefore, that a visit to
this officlnl may mean the avoidance
of later difficulties.
The penalty for failure to make the
return on time Is a fine of not less
thnn $20 nor more than $1,000, nnd
In addition 50 per cent of the amount
of the tnx dur. For mnklng n false
or fraudulent return, the penalty is
a fine not to exceed $2,000 or not ex
ceeding one year's Imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of the court, and
In addition 100 per cent of the tax
evaded.
As to the Farmers.
The number of farmers who will pay
Income taxes hns not been estimated
by the government officials, but It Is
certuln they will form a large percen
tage of the 0,000,000 persons assessed
who never before have paid nn Income
tnx. The nvcroge farmer does not
keep books but If he avails himself of
the services of government experts
who will be sent to aid him, it will not
be difficult for him to ascertain the
nmount of his net Income.
The farmer Is making out his return
mny deduct depreciation In the value
of property and machinery used In tne
conduct of his farm, and loss by fire,
storm or other cnsuulty, or by theft If
not covered by Insurance. Expenses
nrtnnllv Incurred In farm operation
mny be deducted, but not family or liv
ing expense. Produce raised on tne
fnrm and traded for croceries. wearlnz
apparel, etc., Is counted ns living ex
penditures nnd cannot be deducted.
Knlnrlps nnld bv the state or a polit
ical subdivision of the stnte are ex
empt. A farmer holding the Job of
eonntv suDervlsor. for Instance, does
not have to Include his salary In his In
come tax return.
