Raleigh, N. C.Dec. 2G The fol

Internal Revenue Gilliam Grisom,
District of North Corolina, for release
Sunday ..December 26tpJv'rr,'ii-:' '
With the approach of the period of
1 to March 15, 1922, taxpayers are
advised to lose no time inthecompil
ation'of their accounts for the year
A new and important pro
vision of the Revenue Act of 1921 is
that every person whose gross income
for 1921 was $5,000 or over shall
file a return, regardless of the amount
of net ; income upon which the ta.'
1s assessed. Returns are raanireH
of every single person whose net in-J
come was $1,000 or over and every
married person living with husband
or wife whose net .income was $2,000
or over. Widows and widowers and
persons seperated or divorced from
husband J)lLWif eare regarded as sin
gle persons.'"; f;;', - ; V" ''. "y
':. Net income is gross Income less
certain deductions for business ex
penses losses, taxes, etc. Gross in
come includes practically all income
received bythe taxpayer during the
year; in the case of the wage earner,
salaries, wages, bonuses and commis
sions; in the case of professional men,
all amounts received for professional
services; in the case of farmers all
profits from the sale of farm products'
and rental or sale of land. ; '
( In the making of an income tax re
turn for the year 1921, every tax
payer ahould present to himself the
following questions: ,', ' ,
What were you profits from your
business, traded profession or vaca
tion..'. . I:. .-.
"Did you receive -any interest on
bank deposits; v V

you receive rent? ' . - T
Did you receive any keesi In lie

Have yqu any minor children who

Do you appropriate, or have the
right to appropriate, the earnings of
such children? If so, the amount
must be Included In the Income.,
Has your wife any Income from air

. , Smoot's Scissors
- Under the aggressive leadership of
Senator Smoot, the Republicans have
made an enormous reduction in the
number of magazines' published by
the government. This will mean not
only a saving in printing bills, but a
saving in salaries of persons who pre
pared the articles and edited the mag
azines, stenographers who did the cler
ical work, clerks who kept up the
mailing lists snd addressed the mag
ajtines, and, supervisors' who" employ
ed alf these people, keep their time
and paid their saaries. For every
magazine discontinued, . there can
prviMVTy, be an ultimate reduction of
fifteen or twenty in the government
payroll perhaps more. '.

President Herding has announced
that he does not Intend to rush the
new Four-power Treaty to the Sen

plaud that course, saying it la a mo

Frightened Smuggler's Throw
' WhUkey Overboard, Much
Of It Saved From Waves
In the days of old Captain KIdd,
Black Beard and other famous, free
booters, according to rumor, had the
habit of hiding their illgotten1 gains
in out or the way coves, deserted
day the whiskey smugglers are' imi
tating their illustrious predecessors.
There is good reason to believe
that many boats are engaged In the
business of fetching liquors from the1
Bahama Islands and elsewhere to'
ports in the United States. - A great
deal of this smuggling is done on the
Florida and Georgia coasts because
of their nearness to tbje-sollrce of 'Subi
