ATHLETICS CLASSY FIRST EASTMAN TO
 BE IMPORTANT FIGURE IN BIG SERIES
McInnis.

A new star in worlds series games, and also a very bright one, will show up this year in the person of Stuffy McInris, the Athletics snappy first baseman. He was a member of the 1911 team, but dur ing the all-star series George Mullin broke Stuffy's wrist with fast one. Harry Davis played at first that year. McInnis is expected to be a bigger help to the coming series than Davis was two years ago.
 Besides being a classy infelder, hc1nnis is always there with the stick. He has a batting average of .327. }.

NEW INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for Gradu-
ated Payment System in
New Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. Concluded in the
Democratic tariff revision bill Is an
income tax section, which would re-
quire every resident Of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 a
year to pay tax Of 1 per cent. on
his earnings in excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay tax,
but 1t would demand that one who
earned $4,100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of l per cent. on 500, or 81. -,,
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding surtax Of l
per cent. additional on earnings In ex-
cess of $4,000; 2 per cent. additional
on earnings in excess Of $4,000, and 3
per cent additional on earnings in ex-
cess of 100000
How surtax Would Be Imposed.
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate of
/ per cent. on $4,000 ($4,000 exempt,
or $3.50. If he earns $4,000 he would
pay / per cent. on $4,000, and 3 per
cent. on $4,000, making his annual
tax $3.50. The person with $4,000
income would pay 1 per cent. on $751;
900 and 2 per cent. on 100000 total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
Of 100000 would be required to pay
l per cent. on $4,000, 2 per cent. on
100000, and per cent. on $4,000,
which would be $1,000, bringing his
total income tax to $2,260. Anyone
with net income of million
would pay this $2,260 on his first
500, 900 and in addition he would pay
4 per cent. on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to $38,260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
a per cent tax on the earnings of
corporations, stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, but 1t
would exempt partnerships. This is
a nat tax, there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpo-
ration tax act. concern chiefly the time
Of making returns and the time for
collection.
The bill includes under It's provi.
sions the property and earnings in this
country of persons who live abroad.
