By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE
' WASHINGTON. VP) The federal
government la getting down to the
grim buslne&a of collecting taxea on
a ehrunken 1933 Income, with the
prospect that collections thle year
will amount to leaa than the $720.
468.000 of laat year, which were the
amallest ln-16 years.
Because of Indications that tax
able Income, both personal and cor
porate, was lower during and after
the bank crisis last spring than at
; any previous time during the de
pression, Internal revenue experts ex
pect Income tax receipts to be cor
respondingly smaller In number and
lower in dollar total.
Attention, Mr. Taxpayer.,
Copies of forms for filing income
tax returns for 1933 have been sent to
some 3,760.000 persons who filed re
turns for 1932. Failure to receive
a form, however, does not relieve a
person from hla obligation to file a
return and pay the first Instalment
of his Income tax on or before March
, 18.
Those required to file returns In
clude: Every Individual having a net
Income for the taxable year of
$1,000 or vore. tf alngle or If mar
ried and not living with husband
or wife.
Every Individual having a net
Income for taxable year of 52.500
or over. If married and living
with husband or wife.
Every Individual having a gross
Income for ttie taxable year of
$3,000 or over, regardless of the
amount of hla net Income.
Returns Mandatory.
Last year some 1,864.000 of the re
turns filed were taxable and about
1.69&.000 were non-taxable. Internal
revenue officials point out that re
turns must be filed by those who fall
Tlthin the three classes listed above,
regardless of the fact that the exemp
tion of $2,500 allowed the head of a
family, plus the credit of $400 for
each dependent, may render the re
turn non-taxable.
The tax rates are the same as laBt
year per cent on the first $4,000
of net Income in excess of personal
exemption, credit for dependents, etc.,
and 8 per cent on the remainder of
such excess amount. The surtax rates
apply to net Incomea In excess of
$6,000.
While a 10 per cent deduction for
earned Income has been proposed in
congress, no earned Income credit is
allowed by the current revenue act
and therefore It cannot be taken for
1933.
Net Income Is Rross Income less
the deductions allowed under the
law, such as business and profes
sional expenses, taxes, losses. In
terest paid, had debts, contribu
tions, etc. Officials point out
that depositors In closed banks
cannot deduct the amount of
their "frown deposits" unless or
until the bank has been liquid
ated and their actual losses fully
- determined.
By reason of new congressional
levies, the $300 exemption from the
tax on dividends or Interest from do
mestic building and loan associations
which was previously provided, does
( not apply this year on 1933 Income
from those sourcea.
The federal excise tax on eiectric
energy furnished before September 1.
1933. Is deductible by the person pay
ing for the energy, but on and after
that date It ceases to be deductible
as a tax. The federal tax on checks
Is deductible bv ths maker or drawer
of the check. The tax on telephone
conversations, radio messages, tele
grams and cables Is deductible.

HERR HEIGEISMOOSER presents to the West his world-famous
beer his German beer which had all Europe at his feet now
improved upon made even better than when he brewed it in
Munich and won for himself international acclaim for iU quality.
We were able to induce Herr Heigenmooser to bring his brewing
laurels and his famous Munich formula to the Northwest because
here, with better water and superior brewing facilities he be
lieved he could make his native beer even better. . . . We gave
Herr Heigenmooser every possible aid finest equipment obtain
able, a million-dollar brewery, and the best malt and hops we
could buy. . . . Having everything his "artist-brewmeister'' heart
could desire, he started brewing Rheinlander Beer to
full strength in October. It aged in wood until it became
ripe and mellow. Herr Heigenmooser now pronounces
Rheinlander his crowning achievement-even better
than the beer he brewed in Munich. . . . You'll gaze
with regret at the bottom of your glass. ... At last -Rheinlander
the Beer of the Century the
beer you've been waiting for worth wi
for, you'll say. .. . Brewed in the Pacific
