With the approach of the period for filing income tax returns January 1 to March 15, 1923 taxpayers are advised to lose no time in the compilation of their accounts for the year 1922. Every person whose gross income for 1922 was $5,000 or over shall file a return, regardless of the amount of net income upon which the tax is assessed. Returns are required of every single person whose net income was $1,000 or over, and every married person living with husband or wife whose net in- come was $2,000 or over. Widows and widowers and persons separated or divorced from husband or wife, are regarded as single persons. Net income is gross income, less certain deductions for business expenses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross income includes practically all income received by the taxpayer during the year; in the case of the wage earner, salaifc?, wages, bonuses and commissions; in the case of professional men, all amounts received for professional services; in the case of farmers, all profits from the sale of farm products, and rental or sale of land. In the making of an income tax return for the year 1922, every taxpayer should present to himself the following questions. What was your salary as officer, agent, or employee? What were your profits from your business, trade, profession or voca tion? Did you receive any interest on bank deposits? Have you any property from which you receive rent? Did you receive any income in the form of dividend or interest from stocks or bonds? Did you receive any bonuses during the year? Did you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds, or other property, real or personal? Did you act as a broker in any transaction from which you received Have you any minor children who are working? have the right to appropriate, the earnings of such children? If so, the amount must be included in the return of income. Has your wife any income from any source whatsoever? If so, it must be included in your return or reported in a separate return of income. Did you receive any directors fees or trustees fees in the course of the year? Do you hold any office in a benefit society from which you receive inDo you appropriate, or come? Answers to all of these questions are necessary to determine whether a person has an income sufficiently large to require that a return be filed, and may be the means of avoiding the veavy penalties imposed for failure to do so within the time prescribed. Net income is gross income, less certain deductions. The fact that allowable deductions from gross income, for business expenses, losses, bad debts, etc., may reduce the net income to an amount below the personal Who serves today upon the list Beside the served shall stand; Alike the. brown and wrinkled fist, The gloved and dainty hand!

Melody was probably the sole characteristic of the music of the ancients, and it was not until the Seventh century that composition in harmony, either vocal or instrumental, came into use. It was supposed that the art of composition was first cultivated in Flanders. Harmony probably belongs exclusively to the music of the most civilized nations of modern times. Seattle Daily Times.

Let us not, he urged, follow this confiscatory path to doom under the illusion, so current now, that it represents progress and liberalism. Let us return to the real progress, the real liberalism, the equal opportunity for all that, followed in the past, have made this country so great. In the matter of foreign relations, the former senator urged a like attitude.

If such preservation was to be effected before it was too late, though, Mr. Beveridge said, it behooved the people to recognize the extent of the danger speedily and assert themselves. And an excellent place to begin, the former Senator pointed out, was in the realm of business. Graphically he drew the picture of American business, hobbling along on crutches when it should and could be running as a strong man; of American transportation, once the wonder of the world, reduced to an exhausted cripple; of the plight of the farmer, of the general bewilderment and price derangement, all, he declared, primarily due to unjust, uneconomic and confisca- or patents? old-fashion- DAY. tutional judicial system, the other faction is just as determined to destroy our distinctively American freedom of If one faction is speech, he said. resolved to overthrow our distinctively American constitutional property rights the other is no less resolved to annihilate our distinctively American constitutional civil rights.
