INCOME TAX POINTERS
OF GENERAL INTEREST
Does the income tax apply to me?
That's the question most often asked
now.
To enumerate all of the shadings
of the classified schedules, would be
impossible in view of the shortage of
white paper. It is said that even the
framers have not been able to make
it out. Others have suffered acute
“brain storm" in trying to digest it
and present it to the public in plain
American language. The following
prepared for the Times, answers
some of the questions most often
asked:
Who Must Make Returns
Married citizens and residents of
the United States having net incomes
i
for the year 1917 of $2,000, or over;
and single persons with net income
of $1,000 or more, must make return
upon forms provided by the govern
ment.
Forms Used and Where Obtained
, Form 1040 will be used where the
total net income exceeds $3,000. Form
1040A where it is less than that
amount. These forms may be obtain
ed at the postoffice, commissioner’s of
fice or either bank.
Net Income Defined
Net income means your total gross
income less the exemptions.
Exemptions
If married and living with wife or
are head of a family a personal exemp
tion of $2,000 is allowed, also $200 for
each dependent child under 18 years.
If husband and wife make separate re
turns these may be claimed by either
or may be divided between them.
If not married or not living with
wife, or not head of a family the per
sonal exemption Is $1,000.
Other exemptions for taxes, inter
est, donations to religion, charitable,
scientific, or educational purposes,
etc., are allowed. A “head of a fam
ily” is one who actually supports one
or more persons closely related to
him or her by blood, marriage, or
adoption.
Affidavit
The return must be sworn to before
some officer qualified to administer
paths. Most government officers, and
notaries public have this qualification.
When and Where to Send Return

Internal Revenue, Tacoma, Wash., so
that it will reach him on or before
March 1, 1918.
When and to Whom Tax Must
Be Paid
r You may pay your tax by sending
cash, draft or money order with the
return to the collector, or you may
pay it any time so that it will reach
the collector on or before June 15,
1918.
Penalties
Heavy penalties are provided for
failing to make return, making false
or fraudulent statements therein or
failing to pay the tax when due.

CLASSIFIED BF DENBIGH

LONDON, Feb. 16.—Speaking on
Germany’s war aims and dangers of
a premature peace. Lord Denbigh
described the people who are out for
peace at any price and certain others
as in class "Z,” separating them as
follows:
“The Z, I’s are those who are ignor
ant of the situation and do not know
what they are talking about.
“The Z, 2’s are utter rotters, men
who want the war to end because
they cannot get margarine or because
their beer is thin.
“The Z, 3’s are the enemy agents
in the pay of Germany, trying to
lower the morale of the soldiers and
the people.”

BliREIU OF FISHERIES
SHIS "Ell EULACHON”
The use of the eulachon, a valuable
but neglected fish of the Pacific coast,
Js being advocated by the bureau of
fisheries, department of commerce,
not only on account of its intrinsic
value and excellence, but as a solution
of the problem of finding a supply of
•sea foods during the winter season
when the catch is reduced. The “Eat
■More Fish” campaign and the neces
sity of conserving other animal foors,
coupled with the unusual severity of
the weather on some of the most im
portnat fishing grounds, make the
difficulty more than normally acute.
Fortunately the eulachon is one of
the fishes which appears in large
quantities at a season when the scarc
ity of fresh and frozen fish is becom
ing most marked and those who are
complaining of the dearth and high
price of sea foods can help to solve
the difficulty by buying it. In Jan
uary and February vast schools of!
these litle fish run from the sea to
spawn in the mouths of streams from 1
Oregon northward, and they can then;
be caught under conditions which j
make it possible for them to be econ
omically distributed. j
There are other reasons than patri-|
otism for eating eulachon. It some
what resembles the smelt in size, ap
pearance and quality, though there
are many who think it far superior in
flavor. It is also much richer and
fatter, and its use will therefore per
mit a corresponding reduction in the
consumption of other animal fats as
recommended by the food administra
tion.
Eulachon are now on sale on the
Pacific coast and in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, St.
Louis, and other large cities and many
,small communities east of the Rocky
mountains. It is incorrectly known in
some places as “Columbia River
Smelt,” "Pacific Smelt,” or “Western
Smelt.”
The bureau invites the co-operation
of fish dealers and the public in the
promotion of the use of this fish and
has issued display cards recommend
ing it and circulars containing recipes
will be supplied gratis on application
to Division F, Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington, D. C.

would indicate that there will be no

liquor traffic in the North.
“Whether or not the measure will
pass this year is now questionable.
There is a disposition on the part of
of congress not to consider legisla
tion that has no relation to the war.
However, it may be said that Chair
man W. C. Houston of the house com
mittee on territories is very strongly
in favor of a wider measure of home
rule for Alaska, and that he is not by
any means convinced that the measure
might not be taken up at the present
session of congress. It it is taken up
earnestly there is no doubt but that
it will pass the house and become a
law, perhaps not without amendments,
but with all or most of its teeth in
tact. Delegate Sulzer, in discussing
the measure, has said that he has no
pride of authorship, and will be satis
fied with the passage and approval of
a law that will produce the desired
results.
DISCUSSION OF MEASURE
INTRODUCED BK SULZER
Discussing the “full territorial gov
ernment” bill recently introduced by
Delegate Sulzer, the Washington cor
respondent of the Juneau Empire
eays:
“While the bill would make it im
possible for the people of the territory
i to change the woman suffrage or the
prohibition laws without the interven
tion of congress, there is no reason
to suspect that there will be any de
sire for action on these matters by
the people of the territory. No state
or territory that has adopted and tried
out woman suffrage has ever willing
ly discarded it, and Alaska will not.
