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

Trtt. oeDonur crisp, golden
waffle, aristocratic cousin of
the democratic pancake, haa
taken on airs of late and now ap

There are chocolate waffle* and

fresh fruits, nuts, raisins and so
on ? -all made by aimply adding
any one or more of these tasty

course, there's the favorite butter

ice cream and butterscotch or

the foundation for chicken hashed
