Returns of income for I 1917 must be made between Janu^: ary 1st and March 1, 1918. ' "The Government recognizes," yi Collector of Internal Revenue D. C. IS I ' . Heyward said today, "that many s persons experience a good deal of ie difficulty in filling out income tax forms. It recognizes too, that tax- ing payers resident at proper instruc- ' tion in the law. Next year, when tro every married person living with larj wife or husband. and having a net Yoi income of $2,000, and every un- bar married' person not the head of a tori family and having a net income of in $1,000 for the year 1917 must make th,e return of income on the form pre- ing scribed, there will be hundreds in in every community seeking light on con the law, and help in executing their returns. My own and even other to collection districts in the nation will troi be divided into districts, wi?h the ter count as the unit, arid a government officer informed in the income an^ tax assigned to each district. He try' will spend hardly less than a weak tec] in each county, and in some coun- h?v ties a longer time, very likely in tun the courthouse at the county-seat town. In cities where there are \ collectors' branch offices, he will be there, and in other cities possibly ^ea at the city hall. My office will in s*iai due time advise postmasters and mc] bankers and send out notices to the newspapers stating when the officer ^au wi'l be in each county. It will be wa? unnecessary for prospective tax- *hi payers to ask my office for forms suc on which to make returns. The of- ^re] fcer who visits their county will eno have them. "It may be stated as a matter of this general information that 'net income' is the remainder, after sub- ' tracting expenses from gross in- en^ come. Personal, family, or living mu! expense is not expense in the meaning of the law, the exemption be- Pos ing allowed to cover such expenses. ^c< "The new exemptions of $1,000 and $2,000 will add tens of thou- ^ sands to the number of income taxpayers in this district, inasmuch as practically every farmer, mer- ^ chant, tradesman, professional man *arand salary worker and a great many pur wage workers will be required to ?00 make returns and pay tax. ^or "The law makes it the duty of the taxpayer to seek out the collec- ^aVl tor. Many people assume that if ^ou in income tax form is not sent, or mit1 i government officer does not call, ? :hey are relieved from making re- toc*? jorts. This is decidedly in error. w"^ 't is the other way round.

"Who would carry home 25 pound of flour in a hundred pound market basket?" he asked. Mr. Ford said it wa stime to stop trying to solve " the railroad problem by bookkeep ,, ing in Wall street and that the time had come to tackel the problem practically.
