INCOME TAX TIME AGAIN About this time some four million American heads of families are struggling with their income tax returns, ?which must be made to the Federal Government by March 15th. In many states the same people are work ing on their state income tax returns, also. It is an an nual job which has to be done by everybody who receiv ed from any source as much as a thousand dollars last year. Not everybody who got a thousand dollars lias to pay income tax on it, of course. Single persons having no dependents pay no tax on the first thousand of their' in comes, and married, persons have a $2,51(0 exemption, with an additional $400 for each dependent under IS. The net result? that only about tive-eiglrts of the per sons who make reports of their incomes to I'ncle Sam pay any direct tax at all. We have a feeling that there i> a very much larger number of persons who ought, under the law. make tax returns than there are who actually make them. The machinery of Government is! not geared to trace down every tax evader. In England, where the income-tax originated, there is a reward for informers. Anyone who tells the Government on somebody' who ought to be pay ing the tax but isn't gets ten per cent of whatever the Government recovers. We don't think that system of making snoopers out of everybody would be a good thing in America, but it does seem as if a small direct income tax ought to tje paid by many more than do pay it now. Of course, the Social Security tax is technically an income tax, but few who have it deducted from their pay look at it that way. There is something to be sail Ho r the plan of taxing gross incomes and having the tax deducted and turned in- .to the Government by the person paying the taxpayer. The more citizens there are who know that they_aije paying taxes, thf? closer Government will watch its stejL Waffles for Gay Parties Courtesy 8chrafft's Restaurants, New Tork Trtt. oeDonur crisp, golden waffle, aristocratic cousin of the democratic pancake, haa taken on airs of late and now ap pear* at many gay and faihion able parties or impromptu nippers.
