RESULTS FROM LAND
CONGRESS DIRECT
j. o. Thompson Points Out How Trip
to Mobile Was Worth Thous-
ands to Him

Indicative of the practical benefits to
be derived from the campaign of educa-
tion being inaugurated throughout the
state, by the Alabama State Land con-
gress, Joseph o. Thompson of Birming-
ham, one of the largest farm operators in
Alabama, stated yesterday in CONVEX
sation between prominent citizens in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce that
his attendance on the Mobile meeting of
the land congress last fall was worth at
least 5000 in actual cash benefit to him
personally in the operation of his several
large plantations in this state.
Mr.. Thompson explained this statement
by saying that he was an interested lis
tener to the address of r. e. Lambert of
Darlington Wilcox county, proprietor of
large stock and seed farm at that place.
Mr.. I.ambert's talk was on the value of
burr clover as a soil fertilizer. Immea-
lately on returning TO his farm Mr.
Thompson took advantage of Mr. Lam
bert's suggestion, and yesterday he stated
he had received splendid results, such as,
in fact, he valued n the thousands of
dollars. Mr.. Thompson remarked that -
Mr.. Lamberts address could have been
printed and distributed to every farmer
in Alabama 1t would have proven of I'M
told benefit to the state.

Washington, April 7.--Included in tha
democratic tariff revision bill introduced
In Congress today is an income tax section
which would require every resident of the
United States who earns more than $4,000
a year to pay a tax of l per cent on his
earnings in excess of the exemption.
This would not require the man who
earns $4,000 to pay tax, but it would de-
mand that the individual who earned S410C
for example, pay itno the government
treasury an annual tax of ! per cent on
800 or 81.
The bill also would provide higher rates
of taxation for persons with larger IN
comes, adding a surtax of l per cent adj
ditional on earnings in excess of $4,000;
70 per cent additional on earnings in excess
of $4,000, and per cent additional on
earnings in excess of 100000
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns only $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate of / per
cent on $4,000 $4,000 exempt or $3.50. Ii
he earns $4,000 he would pay ] per cent
on $4,000 still and 2 per cent on $4,000.
thus making his annual tax $500. The per-
son with a $4,000 income would pay ]
per cent on $4,000 and per cent on $4,000.
a total of $3.50. The man with an income
OF 100000 would be required to pay 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 $500. The
individual with a net income of 81 900 900
would pay s226O on his first 100000 and in
addition he would pay per cent on $780,
GOO, which would bring his total tax to
SIS, 800.
Corporation Tax Law
The bill also would re-enact the present
corporation tax law imposing a l per cent
tax on the earnings of corporations. stock
companies, insurance companies and the
like, but 1t would exempt partnerships.
This is a flat tax, there being no gradlu-
ated scale as the earnings increase The
few changes from the present corporation
tax act concerning chiefly the time of
making returns and the time for collec-
tions. The bill also includes under its pro-
visions the property and earnings in this
country of persons who live abroad.
IT is estimated by members of the ways
and means committee that approximately
500, 900, 600 in revenue may be derived from
this new tax, including the corporation
