LTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES DURING YEAR
MATERIALLY AFFECT INCOME TAX RETURNS
With Millions Of Youngsters Added To Family Circles, Parents In Addition To Personal Exemptions Allowed Married Couples Are Entitled To A $400 Credit.
Changes wrought by births, deaths and marriages during the last year, affect materially income tax returns for the year 1923. Millions of babies were added to family circles. For each, the parents, in addition to the personal exemption allowed married couples, are entitled to a $400 credit for a dependent.
Boys and girls who became self supporting, and whose parents allow them the use of their earnings without restriction, form a new class of taxpayers. Each must file a nincome tax return and pay a tax on his or her net income, if such income was in excess of $1,000. The earnings of dependent minor children who have not been "emancipated"—allowed the use of their earnings by their parents—must be included in the parents' return of income.
Widows and widowers who lost their spouses during the year 1923 are especially affected. Unless remarried on or before December 31, 1923, or the head of a fam%y, they are allowed only the $1,000 exemption granted a single person.
Widows and widowers are not required to show on their individual returns the income of husband or wife up to the time of death. The income of a decedent is considered separately, and a return must be: filed by the executor or administrator of the estate. The executor or administrator who makes a return for a decedent is entitled to claim for hi mhis full personal exemption, according to his status as a single or married person at the time of death.
In an individual return the taxpayers' status as of December 31 1923, determines the amount of his exemptions and credits. If on that day the taxpayer was married and living with wife or husband, the exemption is $2,500 if the couple's net income for 1923 was $5,000 or less and $2,000 if the net income exceeded $5,000. If single, the exemption, is $1,000.
If, on December 31, 1923, a single person, because of some moral or
legal obligation, was supporting in his home one or more relatives over whom he exercised family control, he was the head of a family an dis entitled to the same exemption granted a married' person. If his support of such relatives ceased during the year, he is entitled only to the $1,000 exemption. If a dependent dies during the year, the $400 credit for such a person is not allowed.
Taxpayers are reminded that the period for filing returns ends at midnight of March 15. Failure to file within the time prescribed renders the delinquent liable to heavy penalties.
A committee to this end was named with Mrs. Abram Pearce chairman, to meet at Sparks High School Friday, March 7, at 8 P. M.
There is a chairman from each local as follows: Butler, Miss Rachel Ensor; Chestnut Ridge, Mrs. Wm. Griffith; Eklo, Mrs. Jesse Hoshall; Fowblesburg, Mrs. Charles Harvey; Gyndon, Mrs. Herbert Hammond; Harrisonville and Hebbville, Mrs. B. John Black; Long Green, Mrrs.

The Secret of Success-Youth : "What is the secret of your success?"
Prosperous Merchant: "It is not a secret. I tell it as often as I can, and every sensible man can do as I did."
Youth: "And what did you do ?"
Prosperous Merchant: "I saved my money—first a penny at a time in a little home bank until I had enough to open a savings account at the bank. Then I added to the account every cent I could spare. Almost before I realized it I had saved enough—with what the bank was willing to lend me—to open a small business. From then on my success was rapid."
