Peculiarly Curious and Re-
markable State of Affairs.
FIFTY:TWO CITIZENS PAY 1T

The Income Tax has ever been Il

the assessor.
1t is. apparently, particularly so in

The law provides THAT each taxpayer
shall pay this tax. but makes II special
provision for deduction in cases of
loss.
1T will probably be astonishing news
to many to know that accordinStto the
assessors books ,hcrc are but iifty-two
people in the city Of Newport News
making over 5000 a year net The
people on their incomes reaches the
princcly aggregate of $396.50
This is 4 peculiarly curious and I'M
instructive state Of affairs.
The largest tax in the iifty-two is $40.
The smallest is 81.
Corporations are not taxed on their
incomes.
On the list there is not Il single pro
pretor OF :, bar room.
Every preacher in the city. however,
is taxed on all the salary he makes
over 5000.

Among the names on the books OF
