Fosters VVeath Bulletin.

Copyrighted 1913 BY v. 7. Foster)
Washington, D. G., July 19-Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturb
ance to cross continent July "a to
%, warm wave % to ~, cool wave
26 to 30. This disturbance will in
clude last part of the severe storm
period and is expected to cause low
er than usual temperatures. Not far
from July % the storm forces will
suddenly increase very much as they
did on July 5.when dangerous storms
occurred in many parts Of the colln-
try. b: !: 4
It was remarkable, worthy Of par
ticular note, that we selected the
very day July 5-for the danger.
GUS storms. :. The only mistake so
far this year, in forecasting these
dangerous storms was that we did
not forecast the exact days Of the
tornadoes that occurred in Florida
and Georgia about July 20, altho we
had frequently stated that many
dangerous storms might be expected
in July. ..~-:y....:. ., "a. s.. 2
We are now, July -, at the begin
ming Of ten days period Of dam
gerous storms and again we hang out
our danger signals, warning all to
take no risks. Many have written us
saying that they desire to go voy-
aging last half Of. July and asking us
for the best dates. We can not give
any dates in this month when it will
be safe to go on water and one feels
safer at home when dangerous
storms are expected. =
Next disturbance will reach Pa
citic coast about July %, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 20, great cen
trail valleys 80 to Aug. l, eastern
sections Aug. 2. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about July %,
great central valleys 80, eastern Sec
tons Aug. l. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about Julv 81, great
central valleys Aug. 2, eastern sec
tons Aug. 4. ?.
This will be a severe storm all the
way across the continent but will be
most severe on Pacific coast and
slope not far from July %. Tenn.
peratures will average lower than
usual. Rainfall will average less
than usual, but some very heavy
rains will occur in small sections.
Hurricanes are expected on the
Caribbean sea and the Gulf Of Mex
leo between July 10 and 20, but we
are not yet able to give details Of
these dangerous sea disturbances.
Cropweather Of the month Of Au-
gust will not be equal to the ten year
average. This will particularly apply
to corn and cotton. Some heavy
rains along the Gulf coasts from
Pensacola westward. Otherwise gen
orally dry east Of meridian 88. West
Of meridian SO about half Of the
country will have fair cropweather
and the other half will be too dry.
In central valleys most rain is ex-
pected near Aug. 1, and ID and in
eastern sections near Aug. l and -.
Warmest parts Of August will be
near 8 and Is, coolest parts near 3
and IL. Storm forces will be less
for Aug. than for previous months.
Most severe weather near Aug. 4, II,
26 and Sent. l

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

Washington, ID. 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 / per cent. on
his earnings in excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay a tax.
but it would demand that one who
earned S4.100. for example. pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax OF / per cent on 500. or ST.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding q surtax of |
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000; per cent. additional
on earnings in exeess of $4,000. and
per cent. additional on earnings In eA-
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 $500 C$4.0 900 exempt.
or $3.50. II he earns $4,000 he would
pay / per cent on $4,000, and ? per
cent. on $4,000. making his annual
tax 1850. The person with a $4,000
income would pay / per cent. on $16..
600 and per cent. on 10000 total
tax of $760. The man with an income
of 100000 would be required to pay
l per cent. on $4,000, 2 per cent. on
$4,000, and 3 per cent. on $4,000.
which would be $500, bringing his
total income tax to $2.260. Anyone
with a net income of a million
would pay this S2.260 on his first
800, 900 and In addition he would pay
4 per cent. on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to $3s. $50.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax Law. imposing
a 1 per cent tax on the earnings of
corporations. stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like. but 1t
would exempt partnerships. This IL
a fat 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
May Bring In 500 600 600.
