Patterson, Clejk DID YOU RECEIVE ALIMOfjYLAST YEAR Or Were You Successful in a Breach of Promise Suit, Asks Collec tor of Internal Revenue. Did you receive alimony during the year 19"22? Were you success ful in a breach of promise suit en tered against a former admirer? Personal questions, very, but im portant to those to whom they ap ply in the preparation of an income tax return for the year 1922. Amount3 received as alimony are not taxable income. Such payments do not have to be included in the income tax return of the person re ceiving them, nor may they be de ducted from the gross income of tae person paying them. In this respect, payment of alimony, may be likened to a personal or living expense, which is not deductible. However, a woman who has won a breach of promise case, or has accepted out of court a settlement as heart balm, must include the amount in her in come tax return. The Bureau of In ternal Revenue has ruled in such cases that the amount received "is not to be regarded as a return of capital, since the benefits of which the injured party was deprived were merely anticipatory." Members of a labor union may de duct as a business expense dues paid year 1922. Such dues are held by ho nureaii to be necessary expenses incident to the earning of their wages. A member or a labor union n-hn' while on strike, receives pay ment from an organization must in- . . , . C II . n.inll trade in nis income iur jcai suv items. Ti)f tavnaver who in 1922 recov ered damages for defamation of ncrsr.nal character need not include in his return such amount, inasmuch as it has been held to be non-taxable income. The revenue act specifically cxempt3 amounts received througji accident or health insurance, or un der workmen's compensation acts as compensation for personal injuries or illness, plus any additional amount received by suit or agreement in such cases. To avoid penalty, returns should be filed on or before midnight of March 15. Free advisory service in the preparation of forms is offered at the office of the Collector of Inter nal Revenue in Omaha, or nearly any bank in the country.

Nolan, had assured the Association against the prohibition Amendment that she would work for modification of the Volstead act, was made tonight by the association, which said in a statement that Mrs. Nolan had summed up her stand on prohibition as follows: "I believe in the modification of the Volstead act and am for the con trol of alcoholic beverages by the government. This would stop traffic in impure liquors that is now a nun- ; ace to public health; would eliminate the un-American interference with personal liberty that the present laws permit. "It would remove disregard for laws that do not-represent the will of the majority that is a growing danger to our national' life." Washington. March ft.
