but the crowds are not coming as they
have come in the other American cities
where Billy has conducted operations
against the Devil. 1t means that the
number of trail-hitters is very few and
small compared to the size of the audi
ences that flock to the tabernacle
night after night.
Whether they hit the trail makes a
great deal of di erence to Billy Sun
day, since this particular feature is
gram, but if he would stand outside
gram, but if he would stand ontside
and hear the conservation of people
pouring out he would find that his
preaching has impressed them deeply
and filled them with resolve to live "a

FACTS ABOUT The
TAXES ON INCOMES
THE WAY IN WHICH THEY WILL
BE COLLECTED AND THE
AMOUNTS DUE.

The official explanation OF the in
come tax laws, both the law Of Sep
faInber s, 1916, and the new war rev.
enue law recently enacted, make
clear the way in which those taxes
will be collected and the amount of
the collection due from incomes of
various proportions. 1t is important
to explain this with full clarity be-
cause of the great new class of peo-
nle that it is to be affected under the
lowered exemption standard and be-
cause of the necessity of furnishing
failure to make accurate returns at
the proper times.
Three main points should be kept
in mind by those who are newly list
ed as income tax payers. The war
revenue taxes on incomes do not SUI
pSTSOue VI ISpldCc the luCOulC IdACS
imposed by the law of 1916, but both
these taxes will be collected. Neither
of the taxes is collectible On the to-
tai income of any person, but only
upon the amount of income that re-
mains after the exempted amount is
deducted. In case of an income of
such proportions that slrtaxes are
ccllectable, the whole amount of the
/ income in excess Of the allowable ex-
emption snot taxed alike, but diff
vferent rate of surtaxation is applied
to the parts of the income falling
within the various tax groups.
Under the law of 1916 no income
of married man is taxed unless it
exceeds $4,000 a year, and no in
come Of an unmarried person is tax
ed unless it exceeds $4,000 Under
the new law the exemption for mar
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-11-30

ried mems reduced to $4,000 and for
unmarried men to $1,000. Married
men also are granted an additional
exemption of 5000 for each child.
Thus, childless married man with an
income of $4,000 a year would have
to pay the war revenue tax on all in
excess CT $4,000. In other words, he
would be taxed under the new law on
$4,000. But the 1916 income tax law
would become operative at the $4,000
figure, so he would be forced to pay
also the old tax on $1,000 of his in
come. The amount of his total in
come tax would be the war revenue
tax on $4,000 and the old income tax
on $1,000 IS
Both the old tax and the new one
are based on the normal or basis tax
on the minimum incomes and a. sys-
tenn of surtaxes graduated to fall
heavier as the incomes increases. In
severity Of surtax impositions the
war revenue tax by far excels. The
highest surtax collected under the
old income tax act is 14.S4 per cent.
affecting incomes OF $1O0,OO0.000 or
more. The highest surtax fixed by
the new law is 51.S5 per cent. also
on 100000, 900 incomes. While, un-
der the two laws, the. man with an
income Of, $lO.OOO:} would pay only
1855 income tax, small portion OF
his earnings. the man whose income
is $1OO,OOO,OOO would be forced to
contribute to--,his government $685.

600 or more, or if married, $4,000
or more, to report to the collector

district in which he lives the amount
of his income. The report must be
made Immediately after March l.,
1918, and must show the whole of
the individuals income in the year

that then will have ended. The tax
es will be imposed only on net in
comes. But, whether under the sys-
TEN of exemption mans income is
taxable or net, he must, if it reaches
the prescribed minimum in amount,
make his report to the federal au-
thorities. Penalties for failure are
provided.
In connection with this war time
development, which brings income
taxation home to many people of
modest means, it is worth bearing in
mind that in all probability the taxa
ton will remain when the war is over.
1t is not likely that after peace comes
there will be much tendency to raise
the exemption standards. Compare
lively small incomes will still be tax
ed when normal times have returned.

ATLANTA HARD
HEARTED TO Billy
WON'T COME AT ALL, WHEN HE
INVITES PEOPLE TO HIT THE
THE TRAIL. p.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 30.-Thousands
of people throng to Billy Sundays tab
ernacle and drink his preaching with
thirsty interest, but. when he invites
them to hit the trail they DON'T res
pond, and the peculiar coldness of his
audiences at this critical juncture of
the program is worrying the famous
evangelist and getting his goat, as he
has frankly admitted more than once
in the past few days in the course of
his prayers at the finish of his sermons
In that familiar conversational tone
in which he always prays, addressing
himself to Jesus in tones of the most
friendly intimacy, he has declared that
he knows nothing else to tell Atlanta
people; that he has no further argu-
ment to put them to thinking; that
he has exploded the last stick of dyna-
mite in his magazine to blast them
loose; that he has done the hardest
preaching of his career right here in
Atlanta, and still they won't come
when he invites them to hit the trail.
OF course this doesn't mean that
nobody at all is coming down the aisle
