Incomes of Less Than
$500 a Year Are Abated.

tHeHl, TIE
British authorities were forced to con-
slider a plan of income tax graduation in
the shape of a levy of a higher rate upon
all incomes in excess of 5000 pounds.
This is assessed in the shape of super
tax of six pence per pound. Since this
system Of graduation has been adopted
the rates of taxation vary with the abl-
ity of the persons taxed to pay. In the
first place, any Britisher with an income
of less than 16O pounds has his tax abat-
ed. Those who have incomes up to 800
pounds are entitled to a small rebate on
account of their children below the age
OF sixteen. Those who have earned in
comes up to 2.OO0 pounds pay nine pence
per pound on their incomes. and those
who get 1900 POUNDS year pay a shill-
ing a pound. All unearned incomes pay
a shilling two pence pound up to 5.oCO
hounds a year. Those who reach and
exceed that limit must pay a s1psr-tax
of six pence on every pound OF income
they have i'm excess of 5000 pounds All
persons having an income between the
point of exemption, which is placed at
i6O pounds, and 200 pounds. get certain
attachments, so that the tax increases as
the income rises between these tho
points.

quarter of a century. or since it became
permanent national policy. Before that
time there had been a constant improve
ment in methods of administration as a
result of an unremitt.ng effort to correct
all unsatisfactory conditions, but the
great improvements perhaps date from
the early nineties. At that time there
arose demand for a graduation of in
comes. a demand rather generally re-
sisted by statesmen. One step after an
other in the Improvement of the law was
taken. some affording attachments on
small incomes. others having to do with
fraud, savings bank accounts, and the
like. until finally. in 1907, Chancellor
Asquith came out flat-foOtedly for a sys-
tenn Of differentiation He compared two
men,. each with an income of 1000 pounds,
the one deriving his from a perfectly
safe investment and the other from a
precariOuS profession. and declared that
to say that each should pay the same
tax was to fly into the face of justice
and common sense He thought that in
comes ought y be divided into two
classes. earned and unearned incomes,
the one representing the personal labor
of the taxpayer. and the other simple
sitting still and allowing the money to
The result of his recommendations was
that a law was enacted which reduced
the tax on earned incomes or partially
earned incomes below 700 pounds to nine
pence, while on unearned incomes il re-
manned at a shilling pound 1t is in
teresting to note that although the tax
on earned incomes was reduced by one
fourth. there was no loss of revenue
as result. 1t was claimed that this
was because the people who had earned
incomes felt that the government was
trying to do right by them and that one
good turn deserved another. The English
authorities regard this differentiation be-
tween earned and unearned incomes as
one of the best steps in the perfection
of the national income tax law. And
yet it was step resisted for years
by such great statemen as Gladstone.

Bill, but the latter cleaned up the
battler at their last meeting.
At the Eagles smoker they will
hook up for the rubber" and an
extremely lively bout is anticipat-

The other events are shaping

headliners, such as the Bonds

seats are advised to buy now as
by next Thursday it is not ex-

Compilation of last weeks bat
ting averages show that the Tig-
ers, with one or two exceptions,
did not do much heavy hitting.
Only four regular players hit .250
or better, and but two of these
went over the 300 mark. Some
of those who played only one
game or so had high marks, but
these were not up more than two
or three times. The team batted
on the whole, an average of .213.
Cy Neighbors was the leading
slugger with 10 hits and an aver
age Of $40 in seven games. Pinky
Grindle pressed him close, batting
only seven points behind. Keller
was undoubtedly the most timely
hitter, but he only averaged .259.
Lou Nordyke slumped badly, bat

The Bengals clouted few for ex-
ira bases. Saddle led with a
brace of doubles. and Neighbors
and Keller had one apiece. Ken

Ruell was the leading base steal
