N. TARB03C, Several of our readers, perplexed by the complications of the new in­ come tax law, have written to The Herald to loom precisely what is meant by "net Income." By net in-, come is meant the income -that re­ mains after deductions for interest on mortgage or other debt, and taxes have been deducted. If you are mar­ ried or are the head of A family and have a net income of as much as $2,000 a year, or if y0u4are unmarried and have a net income of as much as $1,000 annually, it will be necessary for you to fill out an income tax blank. If you have children who are dependent oh you for support you will be granted certain additional exemp­ tions, but this fact will not exempt you from having to fill out an income tax blank. You will have opportunity to state these additional claims for ex­ emption on the blank. These are the essential frets of the income tax law that everyone should know and re­ member. ; Rev. George M, Rourke, pastor of the First Presbyterian church In Springfield, who has appeared before local audiences, has caused quite a stir in his city as the result of an Sit- tack on the city manager, for permit­ ting saloons and amusement places to operate and use fuel when hund­ reds of homes are cold. A- secret order is also attacked because it htifr arranged to bring a well known pic­ ture film "The Birth of a Nation" to the city. An indignation meeting was held Monday and attended by 700 peo­ ple who endorsed resolutions -con­ demning the pastor for his attack. A report is current that .property owners cannot be foroed to clean snow from’Walks. This was based no doubt from ft court decision some .months ago wherein an ordinance for such Was declared invalid. Legal au­ thorities have since investigated and found out that it happened to be the wording of the Ordinance jmd not the principal that had been attacked by the court. Cities like Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and Columbus are standing firm in ft good cause in forc­ ing alt property owners to clean the walks of snow.
