From Tuesday's Dativ
J. C. P. Hiidebrand
arrived in
nausmoutn yesterday morning and
lias taken up his work of enlighten
ing and aiding those who desire to
be pr.t rijiht and given The facts re
garding the income tax. which just
i.ow is a matter of vital interest to
r.iany of our people in view of the
recent lowering of amounts of ex
ciiiption.. In the matter of listing
one'.-: property and income for the
past y, ar. there t: n j-on-e knotty
problems presented, and .Mr. Hildo
brand's function here is to aid every
one in. gvitri' their ret. oris made
out correctly. .
As there i:re penalties for making
cut a v. roug statement and for not
getting the report in on time, you
i-il better look utter the matter ant!
h.-vc it attended to now, and then
t.u will have it on your hands and
hi- I'.oue with it.
JJ-: low v. ill he seen a ti.b'e which
has been pn pared wherein the net
iticome amounts to six thousand dol

ir.r.y and do enter into the source of
one's income, countir.s; aUo the inter

or dividends on any money you have
invested. Then ccmes the amounts

amount you have realized out of
trading produce for goads which you
J.ave consumed, this alr-o being part
' : your source of revenue. These
ivrrs are only a few of many s-a n;
j: that could be given, but cover
largely the items which briny the
avera-e farmer in money, but in sn
ot her line of business the list would
be entirely different and you would
substitute instead of farm products,
that article or articles on which yen
realize a revenue. Following down
the line on the blank for your re
turn, you come to the second col
umn claiming your attention, that
of expenses and detonations. If you
are a borrower of money and have
to pay interest you are naturally en
titled to a credit, as well as in the
matter of taxej. purchase of seed.
. i-ir.cnt for labor not your own. the
mrchase of feed, loss of animals by
death (their actual cost), expense of

enter into tho real expenses of con
ducting the business in which you
were then engaged, but not for your
livi'isr exnenses or luxuries, as these
ore included in the exemptions al
lowed you. namely ? 1.000 if you are
a single man and $2,000 if you are
married.-
In the case of the following sam
ple, as will be noted, the net income
amounts to exactly $0,000 and we
give the table in order to familiar

of the report, they will be required to

After arriving at the net income,
the deductions and taxes are all pro
rated from it. If you are a married
man or the head of a family, having
dependents or not, as the case may
be. you are entitled to various de
dactio'.is. According to the 11)17 or
present law you are allowed to de
duct $2,000.00 if you have depen
dents, and must then pay 2 per cent
on the remaining balance, while in
the case of single men the exemption
is only $1,000. with the same per
cent age 01 taxation on the balance
remaining, .now there was elso an
income tax law previous to 1917, but
the exemptions were higher, being
$4,000 for married men and ?2,000
for single men. The per centage of
taxation was the same.
Tleference to the above table will
reveal the assessment of still an
other tax known as Sur tax. This is
an additional tax and is levied on
all incomes in excess of $5,000 in
various amounts depending on the
excess your income may be above
the So, 000. In the smaller cases
this tax is ?10 per thousand, whilc
those making two or three hundred
thousand a year. are. of course, re- i
quired to pay more in proportion. Be
ginning with five thousand and run
ning to seven and a half thousand
the sur tax rate is 1 per cent: from
",r00 to S10.000, 2 per cent; from
$10,000 to $12,500. - per cent and
from $12,500 to $15,000. 4 per cent.
all the time increasing. This, how
ever, is sufficient to illustrate the
matter and sdiow the levying of the
$10 Sur tax in the table above. The
onlv way to miss the tax is not to
oe so prosperous. I'ersonaiiy, we i
like to have to pay a handsome in
come tax and a good sized sur tax.

The Burlington has made some

vacancy at Gibson section, and this
was given to Len Jarrot, who has
heretofore had charge of the sec

From Monday's Daily.
Although but four from I'latts-
mouth were in attendance at the pa
triotic mass meeting at Weeping
Water last Saturday, they found ful
ly a hundred gathered from all parts
of the county to participate in the
gathering. Those who went from
here were Judge J. T. Begley. V. A.
Rawls, H. A. Schneider and Rev. A.
J. Hargett, they making the trio in
a car.
The principal matter before the
gathering was a movement to place
in the hands of one organization the
collection of funds for whatever the
government should endorse, and to
pro-rate each man's giving ability.
so as to do away with the inequality
of burden bearing that has been im
posed upon some, while others have
sit complacently by and done noth
ing to aid in the defense of Liberty.
The proj osed organization was deem
ed a good thing m by those in atten
dance, who proceeded forthwith to
perfect it by the selection of Judge
T. Begley. as temporary, and later
as permanent chairman. II. A. Sc-h-'
neider was selected as secretary-
treasurer. The election of chairmen
for the different precincts and wards
was then attended to. The object of
selecting these? sub-chairmen at this!
time is that they may call meetings
in their respective wards and at once j
complete the organization down to!
the smallest unit that will go to
make up the county system. !
The main idea, as stated above, is
to make the raising of funds for gov-j
eminent war use more systematic,
and thus do away with the quota in!
one fund being oversubscribed hand-!
somely while that of another falls
short of the mark. Under the plan
promulgated, when a fund goes over
the top, whatever amount is realiz
ed over and above the quota assigned
to this county, is to be placed in the
hank to the credit of such fund and
when another call is made the sum
to be raised will be considerably cut
down by the balance remaining from
oversubscription at the last call. Al
so, over-subscriptions from one fund
can thus be diverted to another fund
and the people be kept informed all
the time of the disposition of their
money.
It is the intention of the com
mittee to have another meeting about
the fifteenth of this month, at which
time they will conclude the organi-
tion process. A number of other
things, such as the perfection of the
card record system, by which it will
be possible to determine at all times
just how much a man has given, as
well as ascertain his ability to give,
from a compiled statement of his
assets and liabilities. No one receiv
ing less than a thousand dollars a
year or owning less than a thousand
dollars worth of property would be
expected to contribute heavily, but
those having large property holdings
or making excessive salaries would
be expected to contribute liberally
in the support of the boys our boys
who have given up positions to
shoulder a gun and fight for the
preservation of Liberty.
Frnm Tuesday's Daily.
Joseph Banning and Joseph
erett, one from Union and the other

some business to look after at that
