NEW, TAX uw
ARE alumna
Even A Single Man
Man May Be “Head
Of Family”, Revenue
Men Declare.
Further explanations of the new
income tax law as issued by the in—
ternal revenue bureau are as fol-
lows:
"If you are single and support in
your home one or
closely related to you and over
whom you exercise family contriol.
you are the head of the faintly and
entitled under the revenue act of
1926 to the same personal exemp.
tion allowed a married person. 33,-
500. in addition, a taxpayer is en-
titled to a credit of $400 for each
person dependent upon him for
chief support. if such person is
either under 18 years of age or in-
capable of self-support because
mentally or physically defective.
Such dependent need not be a
member of the taxpayer's house-
hold. li‘or example, an unmarried
son who supports in his home an
aged mother is entitled to an ex-
emption of $3,500 plus the$~100
credit for a dependent. a total of
$3,900. if from choice. the mother
lived in another clty.,thc son, al-
though her chief support. would be
entitled only to the $1.500 exemp-
tion. plus the $400 credit. The
mother not living with him. he is
not considered the head of a family.
"Au exemption as the head of a
family con be claimed by only one
member of a. household.
"The $400 credit does not apply
to the wife or husband of a taxpay-
er though one may be totally de-
pendent upon the other.”
“The revenue act of 1026 pro-
vides that the status of a taxpayer
relative to the amount of 1115 per-
sonal-exemptions shall be deter-
mined by appointment in accord-
ance with the number of months
the taxpayer was single, married. or
the head of a family.
."For example. a couple married
on September 30. 1925. would be
entitled to an exemption of $3,125;
that-1!. 9-13 of $1,500 for the'hus-
band while single. plus 9-13 of $1.-
500 for the wife while single. plus
3-12 of $3,500 for the period during
which they were married.
”If on June 30. a taxpayer ceased
being the head of a family—the
support in one household of a rela-
tive or relatives being discontinued
—he is allowed an exemption of
$2,500—one-hnlf of the exemption
of $1.600 granted a single person
plugvone-half of the exemption of
$3,500 granted the head of a family.
With regard to the $400 credit for a
dependent. the taxpayer‘s status is
determined as of the last day of the
taxable year. If, during the year.
his support of such dependent
ceased. he is entitled to this credit."

bers of the charter committee
would like ‘10 have the people of»
for any suggwtlons they had in

Mr. Milne said the committee had
its work cut out for it and would
have plenty to do. Then he launch-
ed into the allualion with several
helpful suggestions. He comlnr-iltud
,us follows: "i believe that the city
1should own the 'parks, whlrh art.
now the propully of the districts.
.‘i‘lio districts spend much money
leach year 'n tlu upkeep of ,the

suggestion if the committee will
look into the matter. Eliminate
the, petty office holders. of which
1 am one. who draw a small sal-
ary. Put good men in at the head
of the departments. We need one
water system instead of two. The
water system should be under one
head. The city is growing in loans
and bounds. Many do not realize it.
The water system should be in
charge of an expert engineer. A
water system is one of the main
things that a city needs.
"The police department
needs consideration. We
have a commission the some as
other cities. The recent raids of
the state. police here are an exam-
ple. The police have no authority
to go in and raid places without
special authority.

NEGRO BOY lN
RANK 0F BEST
How Vachel Lindsay
Discovered T a i e nt
While Dining In A
Washington Hotel.
Vachel Lindsay, American lyric
writer. was dining at a Washington
hotel before his lecture on Ameri-
can poetry when a young negro bus-
boy came up to him and put some
sheets of paper on the table as he
cleared away the plates.
That was how Lindsay came to
know Langston Hughes. whom Carl
Van \’e‘chten ranks with the best
of the younger American poets.
"I could not then talk to Lind~
say." said Hughes, "because it is a
rule of the house that 'bus-boys
must not hold conversnton with the
guests. 1 did whisper to him that I
liked his poetry and hoped he would
think well of mine."
To his great surprise. Hughes
learned from the newspapers next
morning that Lindsay not only liked
his work but also found it good
enough to read with the verses of
other American poets
Some of these poems appear in
"The Weary Blues." which Knopf
has published for Hughes. The no-
gro poet first began to appear in
magazin‘es and then won the first
and third prizes in a ontast held
by a. negro magazine for the best
negro poem of the. year.
Hughes in no longer rustling dish-
es. He received a. scholarship to
Lincoln College. where he will con.
tinue his education with his writ-
ing.
