According to estimates completed' by the treasury experts, 425,000 American citizens must keep such accurate account of their Incomes this Year that they win be able to report to the income tax collector next spring exactly how much they owe the government under the new Income tax law. So far as the taxable American Is concerned; the Income tax law is now practically In force against him. While the tariff law In which the law Is embodied willnot be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made Jo the Internal revenue collectors before March 1, 1914. But when the returns are made they will cover the Income of citizens from March 1, 1913, to December 21, and the first payment of tax will be for money received during this period. Every single person (citizen or e)gn resIdnt)- - whoe annuiil income exceeds $3,000, and every married per son with an Income above $4,000, Is his or her reexpected In to detail the government ceipts agents March 1 of each year. 33 To Produce $82,000,000. The estimate completed indicates that the income tax will produce $82,- 298.000 from the 425,000 persons taxed. To this will be added the $35,000,000 or more produced by the present corporation tax, which is continued as .part of the law. President Wilson, the federal judges of the Supreme court now holding office and employes of a state or any political subdivision thereof, are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new' law. The president and judges now In office were made exempt to escape any questhe tions of the constitutionality-o- f law, and their successors In office will be compelled to pay the tax. First Burden Ip on Citizen. . The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months; as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report ait income is punishable by a -- ...... .,,..3 cents. not more than 70 centa a dozen pairs. For stockings between 70 and $140 a dozen pairs a duty of 40 per cent was agreed upon.

The final agreement provided that . any person employed to collect the Income tax may be utilised by the secretary of the treasury lq the general on of Synopsis service of the Internal revenue bureau. . i Which Special Session Larger Customs Revenues.

It Is admitted that when first returns are made many taxable persons probably will escape payments, but with each year the governments lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete. Method of Collecting Jex. Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained In the law. One Is that the Individual return made by the citizen; the other the returns by eofporatlonsand other employers' who pay their employes taxes at the Under the law as it will be source. signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries It pays In excess of the $3,000 figures, and will pay the taxes for Its employes and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes. This payment at- - the source" will apply, to salaries r$nts. Interests,, royalties, partnership profits and some other sources of income,, and persons receiving such Incomes must be prepared to show that the money baa paid Its tax at its source. In figuring up his net become for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3,000 for himself, or $4,000, If married, will have the right .to. claim the .following additional exemptions: Necessary expense of carrying on business, not Including personal, living or family expenses, Interest paid out of indebtedness. National, state.,, county, school .or municipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses, or storm or fire losses,' not covered by Insurance. Worthless debts charged off during ' the year. ' "A reasonable allowance tor the depreciation of property. Dividends from companies whose Incomes have already been taxed. Interest from- - stats, municipal or government bonds. Must be Entire "Net Income. It la a dear provision of the law.' however, that, the taxable persoa must make a return to the Internal revenue collector for his entire net Income," and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax, as finally agreed upon, follows ; From $3,000 to $20,000, 1 per cent; rrom $20,000 to $50,000, 2 per cent; from $56,000 to. $75,000, 3 per. cent; from $75,000o$100,000ri percent; $100,000 to $250,000, 8 percent,' $250,-00to $600,000, 8 per cent; above $600,000, 7 per cent A single man with an income of $25,000, for example, would pay 1 per cent on $17,000 and 2 per cent on $500, a total tax of $270. If married, the first tax of 1 per cent would apply to only $16,000 of the income. Ready to Answer Questions. The treasury department Is preparing for a flood of questions about the now Income tax, realizing that this feature of the tariff, bill about to become law strikes more Intimately at the tax paying citizen than do the indirect taxes collected through. the customs duties. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who drew the income tax provision of the" tariff bill which will soon become law, made public a detailed explanation of the tax plan as it will touch the individual citizen. "The treasury regulations soon to be prepared will make clear to every taxpayer the requirements of the law and its application to income derived from tle various kinds of business," Mr. Hull said. Any person who keeps familiar with his business affairs, during the year should have no difficulty la executing his tax return. How Tax la Divided. The Income tax is divided Into twa phases, the normal tax of one "per cent on the whole Income above $3,000 and ther additional tax thaibe-ginwith an extra one per cent above $20,000 and Is graduated to six per cents above $500,000. Wherever the Income tax Is paid at the source by a corporation for Its employes or In similar cases, only the one per cent, nor, mal tax Is so paid. The Individual has to pay any tax himself. The provisions of the law requiring the tax to be withheld at the source does not take v effect until November 1, 1913. For the first year the citizen will make return to the local Internal revenue collector before March 1, 1914 as to his earnings from March 1, 1913, The collector . to the end of this year. will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid by June 30. After next year the tax will apply on the full calendar year. If the income of a person la under $3,000, br if the tax upon same is withheld for- paymentat the' source, or if the same is to be paid elsewhere in the United States, affidavit may b made to such fact and thereupon na return will be required. . Covers Incomes of All Citizens. The tax covers all Incomes of citt zens of the United States, whether living here or abroad; those of foreigners living in the United States, and the net incomes from property owned or business carried on in the United States by persons living abroad. The net income Includes all Income from salaries or any compensation for personal services ; - incomes from trades, professions, business, or commerce;' from sales or dealings in personal property or real estate; from Interest, rent, dividends from securities,; fpr. all, business carriedon for gain. "Bequests will not be considered Income, nor will life insurance paid to a beneficiary or returned to the insured perron as a paid up or surrendered policy be taxable. Interest on such property will be included as income, however. "The amount that may be deducted from a total Income Includes the cost of carrying on business, actual losses, depreciation allowances, and tax; exempt or tax paid money. Living expenses cannot be deducted,' nor can money spent for permanent Improvements to property. Forms to Be Ready Soon. The form that Is to be filled out by the taxpayer will be drawn up soon by the commissioner of Internal revenue. The taxpayer will have to give his gross revenue and then specify and claim the deductions to which he feels entitled. "Unless a mans income tax la paid at the source he must hunt up blank, fill It out. and see that finds .its., way. to .the. proper, federal .official in hi district before March 1, 1914. Firms, corporations., and the like having the handling of lntSrest, rents, fttlaries, or other portions of the Income of any citizen are compelled to deduct the lax for the individual and pav It to the governmentThe Individual then will receive a receipt showing he has paid his tax.
