' 1 hear both gossip an' sermons, you I iiet! - I'll l ave you know it ain't no sin, An there ain't no hann in listenm In!" .', By Clyde G. Huntley Collector. ututauunaaaaauttattmmtt , In order that they may take full advantage of the exemptions pro- vided for under the revenue act of 11121, taxpayers are reminded that a single person, if he or she is the head of a family, is allowed the ' same exemption as a married per son $2,500 if the net income for i IS22 was .).000 or less, and $2,000 : if the net income exceeded $5,000. A head of a family is a person ' who supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals closely related to him by blood, mar- ' riage, or adoption and whose right to exercise family control and pro vide for these dependents is bused upon some moral or legal obligation. Such relative need net be-under 18 years of age, nor mentally nor phy sically defective, but must be with- out income sufficient to support him j or her. Following are concrete examolcs of the exemptions and credits allow ed a head of a family. A son sup ports in one household an aged mo- i ther and two sisters, both under 18 ! years or ae. j ne son s net in- I come for 1022 was $-1,000. He is ! allowed an exemption of $2,500 as the head of a family whose net in-' come was less than $a,000, plus a $400 credit, for each depedent, a ; total of $:i,700. His taxable income is $'!00, on which the tax of 4 per cent is S12. -;'- A widower and one child under 18; years of age had a net income 'for' 1022 of f. 1,000. He is entitled to an. exemption of $2,500 as headof a family, plus the S-100' credit 'for a ' dependent. - . ' in'the uUsence of continuous' reu i dence with persons whom lie sup- ports, whether a person is head of a he meaning of the statute depends upon the character of the separation. ' If a parent is away on business or a child ' or other dependent is away at school, the common home : being maintained, the exemption ap- j plies. But when needlessly and con- j tinuously both parties livp upart, th? I status of a head of a family does r.ot . exist, irrespective of support bejng i given.

The debt may run forG2 years and the interest rate will be less than congress prescrilied, if the plan is carried into effect. Gen erous cognizance is thus taken of the difficulties which confront the fiscal officers of Great Britain and the Brit ish people. But that in the long run Britons will pay less than Americans in interest may be doubted, since Mr. Mel Ions agreement to : and U1 -o per cent indicates his confi dence that Liberty bonds will be refunded at much less than the prevailing rate of interest on such obligations. If good example arouses the spirit of emulation ratifi cation of the plan accepted by the British ministry will inspire continental nations, likewise to seek a means of refunding. Stopping the Naicolic Leak The inference from a treasury department order sum- mai ny stopping importation ol narcotic drugs is that this traffic has been allowed to run wild at ports of entry. This is surprising since initial measures of control lurii:illv would be rigid supervision of receipts legally permissible. The legitimate needs of the country for these drugs should not be hard to determine, hence the importation of them in amounts largely above requirements should have . aroused suspicion and called for immediate action in cur . tail. It has been popularly believed that the increasing nuni- ; uyi vi iuuiicis sreurrti ineir supplies lrom stock surrepti uousiy nrougiu into the country. Now is appears there was small need tor smuggling the drugs. Licensed deal . ers have bc6n negligent if thev have not corruptly con nived at the forbidden traffic. Hut the growth of a bad condition lies primarily with the federal f narcotic control hoard which has failed to restrict sup- plies .at the source. I he mhahition on further importa tions until the hoard can check upon stocks and legitimate necessities comes Idatodly, hut is welcome, nevertheless. violations ot uio ami-narcotic law never will he whol ly suppressed, i:ut they can he reduced to the possible min imum ii pcrmmcu importations ot the drugs are kept ' within reasonable bounds. Drug peddlinir will virtually cease when the peddlers are compelled to depend on smug glers for their supplies. To secure conservation appears to require a lot of conversation. e.ivnxi tiik i.ii.y ., , . i citAlnnil I'luin l.-enler: nnt. ehur .iahet! institution ulOr .mother eon it." under the sv.'ny ' uf reform.
