                                                The Federal Zone:


Author's Note:

     The federal  government wasted  no time  in  levying  income
taxes after  Secretary of  State Philander  C. Knox declared that
the so-called  16th Amendment  had been ratified.  His fraudulent
declaration was  made on  February 25, 1913.  The first Form 1040
was printed  to cover the period of March 1 to December 31, 1913.
This  form   was  entitled   "Return  of  Annual  Net  Income  of
Individuals (As  provided by Act of Congress, approved October 3,
1913.)"

     A most  revealing part  of this  Form 1040  is found  in the
"Instructions", which  are reproduced  verbatim on  the following
pages.   In the  first paragraph  of these instructions, there is
valuable evidence  which substantiates the validity of The Matrix
discussed throughout  this book.   This  paragraph is repeated as
follows, in order to highlight key phrases:


     This return  shall be  made by  every citizen  of the United
     States, whether  residing at  home or  abroad, and  by every
     person residing  in the  United States, though not a citizen
     thereof, having  a net  income of  $3,000 or  over  for  the
     taxable year,  and also  by every nonresident alien deriving
     income  from   property  owned   and  business,   trade,  or
     profession carried on in the United States by him.


                                    [Form 1040 for the Year 1913]
                                   [From March 1, to December 31]
                                      [Instructions, Paragraph 1]

                          INSTRUCTIONS
                                
                                
1.   This return  shall be  made by  every citizen  of the United
     States, whether  residing at  home or  abroad, and  by every
     person residing  in the  United States, though not a citizen
     thereof, having  a net  income of  $3,000 or  over  for  the
     taxable year,  and also  by every nonresident alien deriving
     income  from   property  owned   and  business,   trade,  or
     profession carried on in the United States by him.

2.   When an  individual by reason of minority, sickness or other
     disability, or  absence from the United States, is unable to
     make his  own return,  it may  be made  for him  by his duly
     authorized representative.

3.   The normal  tax of 1 per cent shall be assessed on the total
     net income  less the  specific exemption of $3,000 or $4,000
     as the  case may  be.   (For the  year  1913,  the  specific
     exemption allowable  is $2,500 or $3,333.33, as the case may
     be.)   If, however,  the normal  tax has  been deducted  and
     withheld on  any part of the income at the source, or if any
     part of  the income  is received as dividends upon the stock
     or from  the net earnings of any corporation, etc., which is
     taxable upon  its net  income, such income shall be deducted
     from the  individual's total  net income  for the purpose of
     calculating the  amount of income on which the individual is
     liable for  the normal  tax of  1 per cent by virtue of this
     return.  (See page 1, line 7.)

4.   The additional or super tax shall be calculated as stated on
     page 1.

5.   This return  shall be  filed with  the Collector of Internal
     Revenue for  the district in which the individual resides if
     he has no other place of business, otherwise in the district
     in which  he has his principal place of business; or in case
     the  person   resides  a  foreign  country,  then  with  the
     collector for  the district  in which his principal business
     is carried on in the United States.

6.   This return  must be  filed on  or before  the first  day of
     March succeeding  the close  of the  calendar year for which
     return is made.

7.   The penalty  for failure  to file the return within the time
     specified by  law is  $20 to  $1,000.  In case of refusal or
     neglect to  render  the  return  within  the  required  time
     (except in  cases of  sickness or absence), 50 percent shall
     be added  to amount  of tax  assessed.   In case of false or
     fraudulent return,  100 percent  shall be added to such tax,
     and any  person required  by law  to make,  render, sign, or
     verify any  return who  makes any false or fraudulent return
     or statement  with intent  to defeat or evade the assessment

     required by  this section  to be  made shall  be guilty of a
     misdemeanor, and  shall be  fined not exceeding $2,000 or be
     imprisoned  not   exceeding  one   year,  or  both,  at  the
     discretion of the court, with the costs of prosecution.

8.   When the  return is  not filed  within the  required time by
     reason  of   sickness  or  absence  of  the  individual,  an
     extension of  time, not  exceeding 30  days  from  March  1,
     within which  to file  such return,  may be  granted by  the
     collector, provided  an application  therefor is made by the
     individual within  the period  for which  such extension  is
     required.

9.   This return  properly filled  out must be made under oath or
     affirmation.   Affidavits may  be made  before  any  officer
     authorized by  law to administer oaths.  If before a justice
     of the  peace or magistrate, not using a seal, a certificate
     of the  clerk of  the court  as to  the  authority  of  such
     officer to  administer  oaths  should  be  attached  to  the
     return.

10.  Expense  for  medical  attendance,  store  accounts,  family
     supplies, wages  of domestic  servants, cost of board, room,
     or house  rent for  family or personal use, are not expenses
     that can  be  deducted  from  gross  income.    In  case  an
     individual owns  his own  residence he  can not  deduct  the
     estimated value of his rent, neither shall he be required to
     include such estimated rental of his home as income.

11.  The farmer,  in computing  the net  income from his farm for
     his annual  return, shall  include all  moneys received  for
     produce and  animals sold,  and for  the wool  and hides  of
     animals slaughtered,  provided such wool and hides are sold,
     and he  shall deduct  therefrom the  sums actually  paid  as
     purchase money  for the  animals sold  or slaughtered during
     the year.

     When  animals   were  raised   by  the  owner  and  sold  or
     slaughtered he  shall not  deduct their value as expenses or
     loss.   He may  deduct the  amount of money actually paid as
     expense for  producing any  farm products,  live stock, etc.
     In deducting  expenses for  repairs  on  farm  property  the
     amount deducted must not exceed the amount actually expended
     for such  repairs during  the year  for which  the return is
     made.  (See page 3, item 6.)  The cost of replacing tools or
     machinery is  a deductible  expense to  the extent  that the
     cost of  the new  articles does  not exceed the value of the
     old.

12.  In calculating  losses, only  such losses as shall have been
     actually  sustained   and  the  amount  of  which  has  been
     definitely ascertained during the year covered by the return
     can be deducted.

13.  Persons receiving  fees or  emoluments for  professional  or
     other services,  as in  the case  of physicians  or lawyers,
     should include  all actual receipts for services rendered in
     the year  for which return is made, together with all unpaid
     accounts, charges for services, or contingent income due for
     that year, if good and collectible.

14.  Debts which were contracted during the year for which return
     is made,  but found  in said  year to  be worthless,  may be
     deducted from gross income for said year, but such debts can
     not be  regarded as  worthless until after legal proceedings
     to recover  the same  have proved  fruitless, or  it clearly
     appears that  the debtor  is insolvent.  If debts contracted
     prior to  the year for which return is made were included as
     income  in   return  for  year  in  which  said  debts  were
     contracted, and  such debts  shall subsequently  prove to be
     worthless, they  may be deducted under the head of losses in
     the return for the year in which such debts were charged off
     as worthless.

15.  Amounts due  or accrued  to  the  individual  members  of  a
     partnership  from  the  net  earnings  of  the  partnership,
     whether  apportioned   and  distributed  or  not,  shall  be
     included in the annual return of the individual.

16.  United States pensions shall be included as income.

17.  Estimated advance in value of real estate is not required to
     be reported  as income,  unless the increased value is taken
     up on the books of the individual as an increase of assets.

18.  Costs of  suits and  other legal  proceedings  arising  from
     ordinary business  may be  treated as  an  expense  of  such
     business, and may be deducted from gross income for the year
     in which such costs were paid.

19.  An unmarried  individual or  a married individual not living
     with wife  or husband  shall  be  allowed  an  exemption  of
     $3,000.   When husband  and wife live together they shall be
     allowed jointly  a total  exemption of  only $4,000 on their
     aggregate income.   They  may  make  a  joint  return,  both
     subscribing thereto,  or if they have separate incomes, they
     may make  separate returns;   but  in  no  case  shall  they
     jointly claim  more than $4,000 exemption on their aggregate
     income.

20.  In  computing   net  income  there  shall  be  excluded  the
     compensation of all officers and employees of a State or any
     political subdivision thereof, except when such compensation
     is paid by the United States Government.
