IN the case OF lnQlVlQudIS the ueuuc-
lions consist Of the same things allowed
to companies and
Exemptions Made corporations, and in
for Individuals. thew include pen-
sions, inheritance upon which an inherit
ance tax has been paid and life insur-
ance up to $4,000 received from de-
cedents by Their dependents.
The exemptions under the Wisconsin
law include income up to $500, which. in
the case of husband and wife is increased
to 81. 800. For each child under eighteen
years and for each other dependent
there is an additional exemption of 500.
In this way a man who has a VIE ana
five children gets an exemption OF W.
or 81 100 more than the man who has no
children AS the taxable rate is ] per
cent on income mp to $1,000 above the
exempt on, and Ia per cent UP to the
second thousand, it will be seen that the
state allows the man with Wl1e ana
five children a reduction of So year in
his taxes over the man without family.
The rate OF taxation starts at | per
cent and rises Il of l per cent with each
successive thousand dollars of income
until a total income of 5000 IS reached;
W tn each successive thousand dollars OF
income until S1o,GW is reached, and for
all incomes of more than that the rate
is fixed at per cent For instance, an
income of $500 above the general exemp-
ton is assessed l per cent FOR the first
thousand. Ia per cent for the second
thousand, liz per cent for the third thou
sand Ia per cent for the fourth thou
sand. and = per cent for the fifth thou
sand The total assessment, therefore.
would be $40. For a ten-thousand-dollar
income it woud be made up as follows
SO for the first So 0G0, so for the sixth
thousand. $50 for the seventh thousand
81 for the eighth thousand; So for the
ninth thousand; S43 FOR the tenth thou
sand: so for the eleventh. thousand. 81
for the twelfth thousand and SID for each
successive thousand-a total of S41o on Il
thirteen housa nd dollar income.
There is a further provision in the
case of companies ard corporations to
Ike their irceme tax harmonize with
the assessed value of their property.
For instance. ii would be unfair to a
corporation which has a $4,000 in
come to have to pay the usual rates
If 1t had to use property valued at
$3.50. 900 to produce that income. as the
rate of income In proportion to the
capital invested would be too small to

A steady advance Is being made by

New York, Jan. 29.-Bidding up OF
specialties failed to strengthen the
general market and the down move

vanced The breaking off of peace ne
gotiations in London, the spectacular
fluctuations In Can stocks and disap,
pointment of those who had expected
large steel earnings all contributed 10

Standard stocks scored their heaviest
losses, there being few selling orders OF
consequence in the specialties. Bonds
were easier.
American Can was again the most
conspicuous stock in the list when
trading began today. Opening with
transactions Of 1000 shares, it rose
quickly to 40A. a gain Of 21a. The
preferred stock opened N lower but
made up its loss in the first few min
utes. The general market was ir7
regular. Harvester made further
advance of IN, marlborough pre-

ern Pacific was steadily marked up two
points, but the general movement con-
t.lued downward.
fractional part of the morning de-
cline was made up before the market

Harvester advanced five points, fol-
lowing yesterdays rise in the stock

Completion Of early large speculative
operations left the market in an apa-

luctant to do much either way. South

the rest of the list was generally low

The market closed heavy. Tentative
efforts to mark up prices were aband-
oned when slight rise brought out
more liberal offerings. Can and South
