Newton.-In the case of the State vs..

were plentiful and money was scarce,
when grass grew between the piles OF
lumber in the yards. and lumber was
rotting In the piles while good me-
chanics were begging for work at any
kind of wages. The lot cost $500; and
the house was completed. including
plumbing, furnace. and piping for gas,
for less than $1,000, making the whole
property cost about $1.G75. which al
$1,000 more than the owner had to
put into 1t. 1t required good persua-
sive powers to induce a money-lender
to advance such a fabulous sum as
5 $1,000, and the borrower had to put
up personal security as a side issue to
a money shark to get the deal through
all Of which illustrates the difference
between doing business In good times
and bad times.
1t will be noticed that the rooms,
while not large, are big enough to &C
commodate the necessary furniture,
and big enough for comfort. There Is
not a room in the house that is small
enough or awkward enough to be
ashamed of. A house Of this size gives
an opportunity to have a bedroom
downstairs-a convenience that every
house does not possess. There Is gen.
orally. In most families, at least one
old person who objects to climbing
stairs. 1t would be difficult to arrange
a more comfortable bedroom than
this one; In fact. few large houses
have a room of this kind. As a usual
thing. when building. too little atten.
ton is paid to the comfort of the old
people. They have spent their lives
in the interests Of the family. and II
is only right that they should be re-

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

Washington, -. C.-Included 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 n
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 10 pay tax.
but it would demand that one who
earned $4,100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax OF per cent. on 500, OF 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates OF taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding a surtax of /
per cent. additional on earnings in eX-
cess OF $4,000; 2 per cent. additional
on earnings in excess OF $4,000, and
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
1 per cent. on SIC, 600 $4,000 exempt,
or $3.50 II he earns $4,000 he would
pay 1 per cent. on $4,000, and per
cent. on $4,000. making his annual
tax $3.50. The person with $4,000
income would pay / per cent. on SIG
900 and . per cent on $50 000--a total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
OF 100000 would be required 10 pay
l per cent. on $4,000. per cent. on
$4,000, and per cent on $50 .00G.
which would be $1,000, bringing his
total income tax to $2.26O. Anyone
with a net income of a million
would pay this $2260 on his first
100000 and in addition he would pay
per cent on 100000. which would
bring his total tax TO $685. $50.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
1 per cent. tax on the earnings of
corporations. stock companies. insur-
ance companies and the like, but it
would exempt partnerships. This is
a fiat 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.
