Corporation Taxes

But not only are the incomes Of in
dividuals hit hard, but those Of cor
porations do not get by lightly. The
tax on corporations, which was per
cent, on the net income before 1916,
was raised to 2 per cent of the income
last year. Now 4 per cent has been
added to this, making the total tax on
corporation incomes 6 per cent or just
six times as high as it was before the
war.
In addition to this tax there has
been levied an excess profit tax on in
comes. This permits a corporation to
make a profit of $4,000 and z per cent
Of the capital used in the business
without additional tax
If it is shown that before the war
the corporation was making per cent
profit or more it is permitted to make
that now in addition to $4,000 without
excessive income taxes applying. How
ever, a company making a profit in eX-
cess of 9 per cent and $4,000 must
pay 20 per cent on the excess up to
IS per cent of the invested capital. An
income in excess of IS per cent and
under 20 per cent must pay 25 per
cent; in excess Of 20 per cent and UNI
der 25 per cent pays 85 per cent; in
excess of % per cent and under 8@ per
cent pays as per cent; in excess Of 80
per cent profit the tax is go per cent
Of the total income.

NOW LAY ME DOWN TO sLEET

Day was done, and was sitting
Dreaming in the fading light
When heard soft voice tell me:
>"Mamma, me is tired tonight;
Me is tired of all day playin =
Put my soldiers all away;
Tell the pussy 'at mes sleepy
But tomorrow me will play"
On my lap he climbed and nestled,
Laid his head upon my breast,
Said he loved his small, gray pussy
But he loved his mamma best.
Then 1 sang bylo-baby,
Gave him to the angels keep
And he went to dreamland saying,
"Now lay me down to sleep"
''Now I lay me down to sleep"
Said the baby on my knee,
f'Pray the Lord my soul to keep"
He repeated after me.
"Should l die before I wake"
Little eyes were closing fast,
"Pray the Lord by soul to take,'
Said the little boy at last.
Just a week and was kneeling
Stricken in the fading light
When heard a faint voice whisper:
"Mamma, me is tired tonight;
Me is tired Of all day sleeping
And me wants a little play;
Bring my soldiers and the pussy
Don't you let her run away"
On the bed lined the soldiers,
Pussy marching at their head,
But-"Tate 'em down until tomorrow
Mes too tired tonight" he said.
Then I clasped my one loved darling,
Watched the shadows slowly deep =
And felt the hot tears blind me
AS he laid him down to sleep.
"Now I lay me down to sleep"
Said the baby on my breast,
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep"
AS he slowly sank to rest,
"Should die before wake"
Little eyes were closing fast,
"Pray the Lord my soul to take"

odd thing you happen to have about

They are made in vivid contrasting
