Your Income Tax No. 9 How to Compute Tax on Earned Income. Although included in every revenue act since the act of 1924, the provision allowing a credit of 25 per cent on earned income still is subject to many misinterpretations, usually to the disadvant3ge of the taxpayer. It was the intention of Congress in inserting this provision that earned as "wages, salaries, professional fees.

1 and other amounts received as compensation for personal services actually bear a lesser tax than the Income derived from sources such as investment of capital, etc. Records of the Bureau of Internal show that many errors In the returns filed by individuals are made In connection with this 25 per cent credit. The maximum amount that may be claimed as earned Income is $30,000. although the taxpayer may have earned an amount in excess of that sum. However, all net income up to $5,000.

whether actually earned or not. is considered earned income for the purpose of this credit. A taxpayer who in 1931 earned a salary of $3,500 and from the sale of real estate or other business venture realize a net profit of $1,500 may treat the entire $3,000 as earned income. Following is an example of how a single person with no dependents should compute his tax on $5,000 Net income Less personal 1,500 Balance taxable at per cent 3.500 Normal tax of per cent on I 62.50 I Less of $52.50. earned income credit 13.13 Balance of tax payable.

While all net income up to is considered earned income for the purpose of the 25 per cent credit which reduces by 25 per cent the amount of tax that otherwise would be due, thousands of returns are received reporting net income part of which was earned and part of which wss unearned. Following is an example of how to compute correctly tax on such a return A taxpayer, married and with no dependents, recalved in 1931 a salary of and from a rral transaction made a net profit of S4.000. His personal exemption is 63.500. The tsx rate Is 1'2 per cent on the flist 64,000 in excess of such exemption and 3 per cent on the remainder: Net income Less personal exemption.

A heavy northwest gale whipped the eea into mountainous waves as the De Bar- I dele ben kept her engines turning at a seven-knot speed. At noon, 48 hoars later, the collier remained a plaything of the elements Unable In Launch Boats.

The Adriatic, heedless of expense and long overdue In New York with passengeia, remained beside the disabled vessel while several Coast Guard craft fought to reach the scene. With no indication of the weather moderating the Collier's harassed crew of 34 have been unable to put oil in their boats. Coast Guard headquarters here said last information from Coast Guard rescue vessels Indicated the cutter Ossipee was within 70 miles of the Bardeleben, but the collier, driven by a westerly gale and her engines, was making about eight knots and the task of overhauling her was a slow one. The collier's master was forced to keep on the vessel to prevent her from broaching to and being smothered by the sea. The De Bardelben's position was estimated at 270 miles southeast of Nantucket lightship.

Tanker Quits Race. The Ossipee relayed a message from the tanker Beacon, which had been standing by with the Adriatic, that ahe was no longer able to keep up with the collier.

It showed the deficit of $903,000,000 in the last fiscal year, the expected deficit of $2,123,000,000 this fiscal year and $1,241,000,000 in the coming period.

Income Cut Blamed. The committee attributed the Treasury deficits primarily to "a drastic reduction in the yield of the income taxes" due to the business let-down.

"The present Income tax law rests upon such a narrow base that even a slight change in business conditions is unmistakably reflected in the Treasury receipts," it said. Taking up its recommended new taxes individually, the committee gave an explanation of each. "The bill as reported provides for an increase in the income tax of all married men with in excess of $2,500 and of all single men with Incomes In excess of $1,000." it said.

Br Associated Press. SHANOHAI, March 10 (Thursday). Miles Lampson, British Minister to China, transmitted to the Chinese authorities early today newest proposal for ending the hostilities In this area. The Japanese proposal. In the form of a letter from the Japanese Minister asserted that Japan is eager to truce because of the "critical situation existing at the front and the imminent possibility that hostilities will break out afresh Bir Miles laid the letter before V.

Soon? and Quo Tai-Chl. representing the Nanking government here. They sent them on to their superiors at Nanking and Loyang and awaited Instructions. BV CONSTANTINE BROWN. The Japanese government has called to the colors the second-class reservists.

The object of this move Is reported to be that the Toklo government far ahead and realizes that before the Chinese adventure is over, Japan will need many more troops than it has at present in China. As the Japanese military policy requires that for every man who goes overseas there should be immediately another one to take his place In the barracks, and it seems likely that the first-class reservists who have joined already may have to be sent over to China, the general staff has ordered men who have left the army five years ago to join again for training purposes. At present there are between 65,000 and 'iOOOO Japanese troops in China. In spite of the so-called armistice, which had at one time been accepted by the Japanese government, more troops are being landed in China every day. What the Japanese intend doing with a formidable force in China nobody seems to know, all the same, all the news which has reached Washington indicates that the troop movements have only just begun and there is every likelihood that before long the entire Japanese active divisions will be in China.

Berk Orr Minn Control. According to reports received from the Yangtze River area It appears that the Japanese want to establish a strong military cordon around the Yapeh iron ore mines. The Yapeh are situated some 30 miles southeast of Hangkow and belong to a Japanese mining concern. They are considered to be by far the most important iron mines In China, yielding an average of 650.000 tons a year. The production could be increased in case of need to over 1,000,000 They are at present more important than ever to the Japanese government.

and in order to avoid the possibility of a sabotage on the part of the Chinese the Japanese general staff is reported to contemplate sending the necessary troops to guarantee the safety of that important concession. The situation at Shanghai has naturally improved since the withdrawal of thie Chinese 19th Route Army. That is to say. that the safety of the International Settlement causes no longer any anxiety. Politically, however, the situation continues to remain troublesome as far, at least, as the American Government is concerned.

The State Department has repeatedly stated that would not consider any proposition pertaining to the expansion of the international zone or of the Japanese or any other nation obtaining another slice of the Chinese territory for their exclusive use. Inquires About Chapei. Yesterday the Chinese mayor of Greater Shanghai sent a note to the Japanese commander in chief announcing his intention of sending Chinese officials to take over the administration of the Chapei district. That district, which has been the scene of the most violent fight between the Japanese and the Chinese armies. Is at present under strict Japanese military control.

It is believed in Shanghai that the Japanese Intend to keep that district for themselves and will not tolerate the re-establishment of a Chinese civil FYm the time being, no answer has been given to the note of the mayor of Shanghai, but it is feared that the Japanese military authorities will reply that the military situation in that district does not warrant yet the return of Chinese officials, and that this will be the first step toward the establishment of a Japanese concession in that important Chinese port. The situation is further complicated by the attitude of the foreign residents, including Americans, in the International Settlement. In a "State in State" as the International Settlement is in regard to greater Shanghai, there are necessarily a number of questions arising from divergences of opinion between the two European in the Settlement and the Chinese outside. There have been frictions going on for many years. Now the merchants who have lived in the International Settlement for a long time would like to disregard the attitude of the American Government toward the entire Shanghai problem.

They wish to take advantage of the abnormal state of affairs prevailing there at present to press for certain issues, the solution of which could not have been obtained without the presence of the Japanese troops In that city. Sympathetic Position. The European governments are reported to give a sympathetic consideration to the claims of their nationals In Shanghai, although many of their requests are In opposition with the policies heretofore adopted toward China. The American Gcvernment is, however, in a more difficult position, since it intends to follow a strict policy of fairness toward China; consequently many of the requests of the American citizens which have begun to pour Into Washington through all kinds of powerful channels cannot be considered by the administration because It would mean the reversal of the present American policy regarding China, JAPANESE LAND NEW FORCES.

Coxey of Coxey's Army fame are contestants in the Republican presidential primary So many of the Ptogressive Republicans and independents may take part in the Democratic primary What the Rooaevelt people want to prevent is support of Murray by these voters I Wheeler, a Progressive Democrat from a neighboring State, is to tell these Progressives that they should support the New York Governor. Seek Bay State's Aid. On the heels of the Roosevelt victory in New Hampshire comes reports from Massachusetts, where the Smith Democrats and anti-Roosevelt forces have been counting on taking the State delegation away from the New York Governor and giving it to Smith, that Roosevelt, after all, may have part of the delegation to the National Convention. Mavor James M. Curley of Boston nas been the particular fly in the 3mith ointment in Massachusetts.

Curley came out last Summer for Roosevelt. Hf has a big following in Democratic Boston and Is insisting that Roosevelt be given part of the Democratic delegation and be made the second choice of the State delegation. If Smith either withdraws or it is shown le cannot be nominated in the A big powwow was held In Joston with Senator David t. Walsh sitting in. to bring about tome fcgreement between the Roosevelt tmd Smith factions.

The opponents pf Roosevelt today pointed out the Roosevelt victory in New Hampshire was nothing much to cheer kbout after all; that Roosevelt had entered the New Hampshire race months before Smith and had most of the State Democratic leaders lined up Mr. Smith issued his statement he first part of February, himself a receptive candidate for he presidential nomination. Apparently saw Victory. Nevertheless, the Smith Democrats hnd anti-Roosevelt Democrats would not have taken on the Job of electing Smith delegates in Nett. Hampshire if they had not believecr they had a chance of winning.

New Hampshire has long had many Smith adherents. In the 1978 election. Smith got a far bigger percentage of the vote cast for President than did John W. Davis in 1924. The Smith percentage was 41 cent plus, and the Davis percentage, 34 per cent plus.

In 1928 Smith had the entire delegation to the Democratic National Convention, and in 1924, he split it with McAdoo. If the Roosevelt-for-President campaign can take the North Dakota primaries a week hence, by a material lead in the voting, the Roosevelt boom will attain even greater proportions. It has been challenged in the North by Smith and in the West by Murray. So far. Speaker Garner of Texas, had not undertaken to contest with Gov.

Roosevelt in the South for any State delegations. Sees Popular Victory. Senator Wheeler, before starting for North Dakota, said: "Tne result in New' Hampshire is a victory for the people, as the financial interests were all against Roosevelt. In my judgment it means that if Roosevelt goes into Massachusetts and puts up a fight he can win the delegates in Massachusetts. He can win in every State where the people have a chance to vote.

Senator Wheeler predicted Montana Democrats would send a solid delegation for Roosevelt to the national convention, saying the only opposition to him appeared to be the "power interests" in that State. James A. Parley, Democratic State chairman of New York and leader in the Roosevelt movement, was in Washington yesterday conferring with leaders. He was at the Capitol and met many of the Democratic Senators. 300 Mr.

Parley predicted Roosevelt would have more than 115 Instructed delegates by April 1, and by the latter part of April he would have nearly 300 delegates. He was told, he said, by some members of the Senate that the pntry of Smith into the race and the activity of the stop-Roosevelt movement had caused them to support Roosevelt without further waiting. On the Republican side. President Hoover captured the New Hampshire delegation. 11 in number, without a contest.

President Hoover also picked up seven new delegates In Kansas yesterday In South Carolina, where two factions, the Tolbert and an administration-recognized faction, are struggling for victory, its was announced the Tolbert convention was pledged to the renomination of Hoover.

LOANS EARLY Rise in Pound Favorable for Returning Balance of $50,003,000. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, March bankers, who say they have been surprised as much as any one else by the sudden rise of the English pound sterling to this year's highest price level, express belief that England might pay off the balance of its American banking credit this month.

The spectacular upward sweep of the pound, which has surpassed any movement of its kind by a foreign currency since the early past-war days, has provided an excellent means for Great Britain to raise dollar balances for further debt payments, they said. Rise of Sterling Cited. While bankers, who have been associated with past financing in America for the British account, continued silent on British plans, it was pointed out elsewhere that the greater buying power of sterling might readily influence the British treasury to pay ofl the credit balance in the present rising market. The British treasury obtained $400,000,000 of credits, divided equally between the United States and France on August 28. last, for the purpose ol supporting the pound.

Early thii month the British government paid ofl $150,000,000 of its American banking credit, leaving a $50,000,000 balance The credit does not come due unti next August 28. Purchases Aid Retirement. Inasmuch as the French credit wa; partly obtained through the sale ol notes to the French public. It has nol been possible for Great Britain to retire its French portion in the same way. London advices indicated today however, that the British governmenl had been buying up these notes in the Paris public market.

Those so purchased, it was indicated, would be retired. In listing the encouraging developments which have stimulated the rally of the pound sterling, thu3 aiding British plans for a financial comeback, the readiness of the British public to submit to heavy taxation was cited as an important factor. MAY ABOLISH LEGION MADRID, Spain, March 9 circles said yesterday the government was considering a propoosal to abolish the Spanish Foreign Legion, incorporating its members in other forces.
