It is as old as the average joke; however, it's no joke when it appears to the Rock Island passenger train crew in their blue uniforms; they are simply irresistible as you all know, having observed them in your travels.

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

Washington, d. Concluded IN the
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 notNcompel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay a tax,
but it would demand that one who
earned $4,1OO, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of per cent. on 500, or 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 $50, 1000, and 8
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 $3.50 $4,000 exempt) i,
or $3.50. If he earns $4,000 he would
pay per cent. on $4,000, and 9 per
cent. on $4,000, making his annual
tax $780,, The person with $4,000
income would pay / per cent. on $751;
600 and 2 per cent. on $4,000 total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
of 100000 would be required to pay
1 per cent. on $4,000, 2 per cent. on
$4,000, and 8 per cent. on $4,000,
which would be $500, bringing his
total income tax to $2,260. Anyone
with net income of q million
would pay this $2,260 on his first
500, goo and In addition he would pay
4 per cent. on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to $38,260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
/ per cent. tax on the earnings of
corporations. stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, bus II
would exempt partnerships. This is
nat tax, there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present eorpo-
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, 900.
II is estimated by members OF the
ways and means committee that ap
proximately $10000O.000 in revenue
may be derived from this new tax. IN

amount making up for the deficit in

Moot General Assembly Meets.

There has been organized in the
Western Kentucky Normal school, at
Bowling Green, what is known as the
Moot general assembly, and it is hoped
this will be a great factor eventually
in influencing the people of the state
to read more and study more about
governmental affairs. The house"
was organized as it is done at the state
capitol; the state officers were elected
in the same manner as if it were the
real thing, each student going into the
booth and voting for the candidate of
his or her choice.

This was the statement of Charlton
Thompson, of Covington; joint author
of the Kentucky primary law of 1912.
He expressed his opinion that the Au-
gust senatorial primary goes over IN

speaking you ought to get up and
speak. Now, just little experience
along this line. When / was convert

l thought l would just live as best l
could and say nothing about it, and l
found that wouldn't 90, so l had to

believe that those who are so opposed
to women speaking in church will
some day or other have to speak them
