Figure Your Income Tax
SEVERE PENALTIES IF YOU
DELAY BEYOND MARCH 15
With the due date for Income Taxes
only a few weeks away, the. collection
of this far-reaching tax on 1918 In
comes has started ofT with a bang
Everybody Is figuring Income tax.
Payments and sworn statement» of
income must reach Internal Revenue
offices on or before March 15, and there
are severe penalties for delinquency.
Residents of Montana, Idaho and
Utah are required to make their re
turns and pa y their taxes to William
C. Whaley, Collector of internai Reve
nue, Helena, Mont., or to any of his
deputy collectors who are now doing
free advisory work on Income Tax.
"Pay your Income Tax by March
15," is the slogan of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, which lias sent every
available officer into the field to help
the public to understand the require
ment» and to prepare the returns.
Who Must Make Return.
It is estimated that many thousand»
of single anil married persons in this
section of the L'nted State» who have
never hefore made annual return» are
required to do so this year.
Income tax returns must lie made
between now and March 15 by persons
who come under the following elasslfi
cations :
Any unmarried person whose 1918
net Income was 81,000 or over. Wid
ows and widowers, divorcees and rear
rled persons who are living apart from
their husbands or wives, are for the
purposes of the Income Tax classed a*
unmarried.
Any married person living with wife
or husband whose 1918 net Income was
$2,000 or over. The Income of both
husband and wife must be considered,
together with the earnings of minor
children, If any.
Revenue Bureau Offers Aid,
Eacli person in the United States
who is in either of these classifications
must get busy at once if penalties are
to be avoided. He should secure a
blank Form 1010 A for reporting net
income up to $5,0t>J, or Form 1040 If
his net income exceeded that amount.
Forms are being distributed by Collec
tors and their Deputies, also by banks.
By following the instructions on the
forms a correct return can be prepared
at home. If a person needs advice or
aid, the Deputy Collectors In the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In
come Tax duty on citizens and resi
dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau
is sending Its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re
turns In. With active co-operation
every tax due March 15 will be paid
and every .return required by law will
be lu the Revenue offices on time.
Exemptions Allowed.
A single person Is allowed a per
sonal exemption of $1,000. If he is sup
porting In his household relatives who
a ,- e dependent upon him he may claim
the status of the head of a family who
has the same exemption as If married.
A married person who Uvea with
wife or husband Is allowed a personal
exemption of $2,000.
family Is entitled to claim a similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption of $200 1»
allowed for each person under eight
een or Incapable of self support who
was dependent upon and received his
chief support from the taxpayer.
A husband and wife living together
are entitled to hut one personal ex
emption of $2,000. If they make se(*a
rate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy Is necessary In
making up Income figures. Any per
son who is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank Interest, bond Interest, dividends,
rents received and til other items
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
(loveriiineut and defeat the proper ad
ministrai ion of the law.

Oversubscriptions of January
and February Savings Cam
paign Allotments to Re
duce Loan Task
Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the
Twelfth Federal Baser re District are
to be determined in some measure by
tbe amount» loaned the government
by each district In War Savings
Stamps during January and February,
if a district oversubscribes Us War
Savings Stamp quotas for the first
two months of the year, its Victory
Liberty Loan quota will be decreased
to the extent of the oversubscription.
Conversely, if a district fails to reach
its January and February Stamp quo
tas, Us Liberty Loan quota will be
increased.
When Lewis B. Franklin, director
ot the War Loan Organization, was in
San Francisco recently, he revealed
that on the day tbe armistice was
signed there was in progress in Wash
ington a meeting to formulate plans
for the continuous sale of Liberty
Bonds—such a plan as governs the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond
and War Stamps work was to be
cloaety coordinated.
These plans were immediately dis
carded when the Germans signed tbe
armistice and when Secretary of the
Treasury Glass took office he an
nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan
would be the last. In the face of sug
gestions that the Victory Loan be put
on a cold commercial basis, he added
that the men making these sugges
tions were discounting the patriotism
of the American people and he would
depend upon the patriotism ot the
American people rather than place se
curities of the United States govern
ment upon a plane with the paper of
private corporations.
a
The banks used to buy United States
bond» bearing 2 per cent Interest be
fore the war. That's how good the.
credit of the United States is.
The 8100 you put into a Victory Lib
erty Bond will be worth 8125 plus in
terest when prices settle down. A dol
lar Is worth what you can buy with It.
