He will answer your questions,

swear you to me return, iinu save]
n you a great deal of time and an-!
noyance. 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. The tax- wee
jayer has to go to the government ?.
md if he doesn't within the time .. ,
>rescribed, he is a violator of the!
aw, and the government will go to
lim with its penalties."

His Plan.
? \
New York, Dec. 15.?Henry Ford, ,,
automobile manufacturer in a statement
made public for him yesterday.
declared that locomotives and "
cars were too heavy and should be ..
made lighter. He said that four- u ]
fifths of the work of the railroads
was in hauling dead weight and
* ? ' a* _ _ _ 11? o
pointed out tnat trie roiling slvck uu
a passenger train was 50 to 100 ..
times as heavy as the people hauled.
"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. ''

"The United States needs one un- "
ifed railroad svstem tying together -
all parts of the country," the state- ,,
ment says. "Instead, we have hundreds
of separate railroad compan
ies, each looking after itself or try
to get the best of its neighbor
