If a farmer is so fortunate as to have a net income of over $3,000 a year in case he is a bachelor, or $4,000 if married, he is subject to the income tax, and under the revenue law each individual must make return to the internal revonua collector of his district on or before the first day of March if he has a not income of $3,000 or over ($2,500 for the ten months of 1913.)

For a man spent for such repairs during the year case of failure on the part of any one who is subject to the tax to file the return by the first of March, the law fixes a penalty of 50 per cent of the amount of the' tax assessed and $10 to $1,000 fine. In case of false or fraudulent return there is a penalty of 100 per cent and $20 to $2,000 fine and one year's imprisonment or both. - The bureau of internal revenue is preparing regulations which may be obtained by interested persons on ap plication to collector of internal reve nue for the applicant's district. VICE EEVELATION3 ABE PROMISED AT MEETING revolving a regular salary, or a busi ness n vi n with a good system of book keeping, it is easy to determine whether or not his income is taxable. Cut for the farmer who receives no stated income, and who often fails to keep accurate account of receipts and expenditures, it is more difficult to calculate bis net income. , In order that fanners may be posted on the income taxe as it nay concern them, the following information has been furnished by the internal revenue bureau of the reasury department. In general, an income consists of amounts derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for personal services, paid in any form; also from profes sions, business, Bales or dealings in property, or from rents, interest on bonds, or mortgages, dividends on stocks or other income from investments. These items constitute gross income, from which these should be deducted the expenses of carrying on the busi ness; interest paid on indebtedness; worthless debts charged off; losses by firo, storm or shipwreck, not covored by insurance; exhaustion, wear and tear of property, and any income upou which the income tax has already been deducted at tho source, as, for instance, dividends on tho stock of a corporation which has alrondy paid the tax on its earnings. Joint Incomes, The provisions regarding net incomes of $3,000 apply only to unmarried per sons, or to married persons not living with wife or husband. A husband and wife living together are entitled to jin exemption of $1,000 dn their ag gregate i nconio. This means that iu case the wifo has a separato income, if this milled to the husband's income amounts to $1,00 the total is subject to the tnx; or, if tho wifo has no fieparate income, the husband's incomo is taxnblo only in case it roaches $4,000. But a return must bo made if the aggregate incomo of both is 2.300 for the year 1913. Tho joint feel tired drink a cup of Refreshing, invigorating and (delicious for which the roturn is made. The cost of roplacing tools or machinery may also be deducted to the extent that the cost of the new articles does not exceed tho valuo of Ike old. No deduction may be made for the cost of additional farm machinery, but credit may be allowed for the annual depreciation in the value of such ma chinery. For example, if a machine cost $100 and is regarded as good for 10 years of service, the annual de preciation would be 10 per cent, and a doduction of $10 each year could be mado on this account, as part of the expense of operating the farm. Cannot Deduct Expense. The exponso of supporting the fam- ily, however, cannot be doducted from the gross income. Among items for which credit is not allowed are expense for medical attendance, life insurance, insurance oa dwellings, store accounts, servants, and cost of board, room or house rent for family or personal use. In case an indivdual owns his residence he cannot deduct the estimated value of his rent But a tenant operating a rontod farm as proprietor may deduct the rent of tho farm as part of the ex ponso of his business. Farmers are not required to include in their income the produce taken from the farm and consumed by the family. Only produce sold off tho farm is to be included. A farmer is not entitled to a deduction for his own labor, or for expense of feeding livestock. Ho may, however, deduct such items as cost of fertilizer and other supplies and mate rials which are used in the course of his oK'nitious. Net Income for Ten Months. The luw provides that for the year 1913 tho tax shall be computed only on tho net incomo for tho ten months from March 1 to December 31, and that returns shall be mado on the basis of five-sixths of the year. . Thoreforo, if tho net income for tho last ton months of 1913 amounts to $2,500 or more a return on form 1040 is required. For tho ten months of 1913 every Binglo porson is allowed $2,500 exemption and in the case of husband and wife, living together, $3,333.33 exemption. In computing the net income for tli is period deductions should be made for only five-sixths of the amounts prop erly allowable for the wholo year. Be- lurns for 1913 must bo made by March 1, 1914, Blanks for making returns for tho income tax may bo obtained from the collectors of internal revenue through out the country, or from tho Bureau of internal revenue of tho treasury de partment at Washington, D.

STANDISH. (Written for the United Press.) Washington, March 4. The demo cratic admiinstration of Woodrow Wil son was one year' old today. For ab solute defiance of ancient institutions and precedents it has eclipsed that of any other chief csecutive since the early days of the republic. The two big things in legislative achievement were the traiff and currency bills. Both are still under fire and their suc cess cannot positively be determined within another year. Domocrats say they are bringing about a condition of prosperity in this country which di rectly benefits tho wage earner and the small business nmn rather than the stockholders in the big corporations. Republicans dispute this and say that the day of the soup house is at hand. But those are mattuis of history. It has been ratkor in the lighter wy that President Wilson has attracod atten tion. The first thing he did after subscribing to the oath of office was to hand a" real wallop-to "socioty" as it is represented in Washington. Announcement was mado that demo cratic simplicity was to be the rule. Instead of gold laced military aides to trail his every stop and interpose thoir bulk between the prosident and the common people a civilian garbed physi cian and a husky, blonde, woll-drossod socrot service man lolled about and the president saw whomever his fancy dic tated, untrammellod by rigid rules and rod tape. Tho office of his secretary was thrown open to the public gone- rally and tho prosidont would emerge from his private office frequently to mingle with the populace and transact business on the jump. Congress Gets Hard Jolts. Whon congress assembled it got real jolt. Instead of receiving a pon derous document ,from the hands of a clerk which would be read in a sing song tone that meant nothing, the prosident doliverod bjs first, and all subsequont messages in person, making his tolling points with all the emphasii of tho trainod platform orator with the result that, whilo the first message was listened to in silonco, his last, the trust document, was punctuated by real ap- (those times that as leader of the party, lause from f rlouds and foes.

In stead of sending for the members the president went to thorn with the result that patronage muddles have been cleared up with uuheard-of expedition. Instead of secluding himself from the newspaper corrosponaonts granting audiences only to the "cuckoo" rep resentatives who reflected administra tion views the presidont has granted open audiences to all proporly accredit ed nowtvpapor correspondents twice woekly. He has withstood a fire of questions, often hostile, regarding his policies, and has answered even more frankly than might have boon expected, the only .limitation being the ancient j prohibition that the prosidont must never be quoted directly. Reception Abolished, That time-honored institution, the New Years reception, where Miko, Tom and Jorry, thoir wives and their friends flock to the white house and squeoze the prosidont 's hand while he stands like a mannikin in a death-dealing draught and tries to look as though be enjoyed it all, also wont by the boards.
