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

Washington, D. 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 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 it would demand that one who
earned $4,100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of 1 per cent. on 500, or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding a surtax of 1
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000; per cent. additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000, and
per cent additional on earnings in ex-
cess of 100000.
Flow 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 S16,O 900 (s4. 900 exempt /,
or $3.50 II he earns 100000 he would
pay 1 per cent. on $4,000, and per
cent. on $4,000. making his annual
tax $3.50. The person with $50, 900
900 and 2 per cent. on $4,000 total
tax of S760. The man with an income
of 100000 would be required to pay
1 per cent on 5000, 2 per cent. on
$4,000, and per cent. on $50. 600,
which would be $500, bringing his
total income. tax to S2.260. Anyone
with net income of a million
would pay this S2,260 on his first
100000 and in addition he would pay
per cent. on 100000. which would
bring his total tax to S3S, $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
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 its provi-
sions the property and earnings in this
country of persons who live abroad
May Bring in 100000 600.
1t Is estimated by members of the
ways and means committee that APP
proximately 100000. 900 in revenue
may be derived from this new tax. in

DEATH Of MRS.
EDNA HERSCHLEB

In old age, and at the close Of a
life time Of labor and harvest We
look forward to death, and welcome
i, but in the prime of life, when we
lcok forward to what has been our
ambition in childhood, We natural
" desire to live out a rounded Bfe
OF usefulness and experience To
be cut down in the early part of life,
IS certainly greatly to be regretted.
FIJI the death Of Mrs. Edna Muir Her
schIeb, which occurred Friday morn
ing, May Is, 1913, we have a sad il
ius;raGoR Of giving up Hfes' work
when it has only partially b5gun. This
young woman was forced to give up
tie associations Of a loving and kind
husband, and the affection and deveI-
opmcnt Of two young sons, who have
come into this world to bless their
home. This is certainly a sad time
fer this family. The mother made a
strong fight to regain her former heal
tn, was aided by the most skilled
physicians and nurses in the treat
ment in care Of this disease, but all
proved in vain. She was obliged to
pass on to the future Life, from which
no traveller returns. Her husband,
parents and relatives have the sim
cere sympathy i'm this sad hour Of
their bereavement. She is now free
from all suffering and at rest. After
a severe illness, lasting since last
September
Mrs Edna Muir Herschleb was born
the fourteenth day Of October 1889,
in Winona, Mimi, and was therefore
i'm her twenty-fourth year She came
To Grand Rapids with, her parents and
was educated in the public schools
OF Grand Rapids. She graduated with
the class of 1907 and was a favo1ite
among the students of her class. She
was united in maaiage on June 15,
1903 to Wilbur E. Herschleb, who
satvives her with two children, Do
nald, two years old and John, eight
months old. Mrs. HerschIeb was a
member of st. Johns Episcopal churcl
of this city and an efficient member
OF that church and society. She was
a lovely Christian woman, an affec-
tionate wife and mother, who will be
greatly missed at the family fireside
and by those with whom she was in-
timately connected. Her father and
mother. Mr. and Mrs. A. Nj. Muir, of
this city, a sister Mrs. Gilbert Marvir
Of Nekoosa, and brother Kirk Muir,
are left to mourn her early departure.
