.,TijE INCOVIE TAX
t , MAN IS HERE
■■' *:* —.
IS AT COURT HOUSE* AND FULL
OF INFORATION REGARDING
LAW.
Mr. H. P. Andrews, of Atlanta, ar
rive din the city Tuesday and is sta
tioned at the court hoilse for the pur
pose of assisting the people of Dooly
subject to taxation under the Income
Tax Law, in making proper returns,
and giving such information as is need
t0relative to the law. Under the law
every unmarried* person who has a
net income of $1,000 or more and
every married person who has a net
income of $2)000 or more in, 1917
must make a report by March 1,1918.
Mr. Andrews is prepared to furnish
forms to be filled out with the infor
mation desired. These may be re
turned to him or sent to District Col
lector, A. O. Blalock, of Atlanta.
The citizens of Dooly app^r,an
xious to comply with the law? many
have been in doubt as to just what
Would be required of them. Mr. An
drews is giving courteous considera
tion to the problems of all and seems
desirous of doing justice to both the
gojmmment and the individual. The
following communication from Mr.
Andrews may be of interest:
The people in this county seem to
be taking an interest in the incom^
tax, since my arrival here I have
heard many loyal. expressions and a
willingness on their part to pay this
tax. I am plad the people in this sec
tion of the country feel this way about
the income tax, and it is right that
they should, for it is one of the most
just taxes ever levied upon the peo
ple of this country, it places the bur
den on the man who is able to shoul
der the same, and does not work a
hardship onanyone.
"I am |l$re to give assistance to
anyijlji. who' desires the same free of
*■"' R Ind through your paper I want
tw—rge all who have any doubt what
ever, as to whether they will be liable,
or not, for income tax, to call to see
me while I am here.
Sfl&e of the most common ques
tions that have been asked are as fol
lows:
Some have asked if a married man
would have to have a gross income br
a net income of $2,000 to be liable
under the Income Tax Law. The an
swer is the net income must be two
thousand dollars, the gross Income is
not the basis upon which the tax is
computed.
Another question is whether or not
products on hand and not sold should
be returned as income. The answer
is no; the value of cotton, grain, and
ither products on tit) far$i is not con-
ildered taxable income until reduced
to cash or equivalent to cash.
Is a farmer required to report the
Value of the farm produce which is
consumed by himself and family!
No, but any amount of expenses
incurred in producing garden .truck or
sther products so consumed, cannot
ie claimed as an expense as this

valuable ones. A request from the

the organization of auxjilaries to en

ing was held at the school building
with a good attendance. A good deal
of work preparatory to the organiza
tion had been done previously. A num
ber of children had been enrolled a*
members and it. was only hecessary
to fill out the blanks to effect the
ganization of the school auxiliary
with Miss Bessiee Tippett as leader.
The little folks showed an eager in
terest and will doubtless prole good
workers.
The Tippettville auxiliary was then
organized with the following officers:
Mr. John Tippett, Chairman; Mrs.
M. R. Singletary, Vice-Chairman;
Miss Earnestine Scarborough, Secre
tary and Mrs. John Tippett, Treasurer
The lades manifested keen interest in
the work and are makng plans to be
