for the calendar year 1917 and for ev-
cry year JnrTeaICer.
5 In addition "war excess profits

are deemed to be engaged in business
and in single trade or business, and
their income from different sources
derived is to be considered as the in
come of such business.
The secretary of the treasury may,
upon complaint, allow a deduction
which "shall be the sum of an amount
equal to the same percentage of it's in
vested capital for the taxable year
which the average deduction for such
year of representative corporations,
partnerships or individuals engaged in
like or similar trade or busi-
ness, is of their average invested cap
ital for such year"
Invested Capital.
The new law defines invested capi.
tai as follows:
"Sec. POI. That as used in this

(other than obligations of the Unite<
States) or other assets, the income
from which is not subject to the ia,

cash value of patents, copyrights, good
will, trademarks, trade brands, fran
chises, or other intangible property,

time of such payment, if payment was
made therefor specifically as such in
cash or tangible property, not to ex-
ceed the actual cash or actual cash
value of the tangible property bona
fide paid therefor at the time of such
payment"
In the case of trades or businesses
having no invested capital or not more
than nominal capital, tax of 8 per
cent, upon the net income is levied
under this title after allowing the de-
duction of $4,000 in the case of cor
porations and in the case of partner
ships or individuals, $6,000.
The terms "trade' and business"
include professions and occupations.

Your attention is here invited to a
brief review of some of the more i'm
portant features of the new war rev.
enue law, which was finally agreed to
by the two houses of congress in the
first week of October and became
law by the presidents signature on
October 3, 1917.
The new law is designed to raise
S2,700,0 100000, and it's provisions and
rate of taxes are in addition to the
existing income tax law. Some of the
provisions of the existing income tax
law are considerably modified and
changed by the provisions of the new
law, but none of its taxes are at pres
ent repealed.
Individual Income Tax.
An additional per cent tax is laie
upon the income of every individual
and citizen or resident of the United
States received in the calendar yea
1917, and every calendar year there
after, thus making the normal tax
per cent.
To this is added an additional tax a
follows:
Per cent
Upon incomes which exceed $4,000
The Glasgow courier., 1917-12-14

Exemptions are reduced from the
present standard of $4,000 and $4,000
to $1,000 and $4,000 for single persons
and heads of families, respectively.
The exemptions from the normal in
dividual income tax of 2 per cent re-
mains at $4,000 and $4,000 for single
and married persons as at present,
with an additional exemption of 5000
for each dependent child under 1S
years of age, or mentally or physical
ly deficient so as to be incapable of
self-support.
Thus a single man with an income
of $4,000 will have an exemption of
$1,000, will pay 2 per cent on $4,000,
4 per cent on $4,000 and an additional
graduated tax on the remainder above
$1,000, as above set forth. For mar

 Bob has been chummy with the soldiers of the sea- all his life and was never fully satisfied until attired in full regulation uniform-red stripes, yellow chevrons, medal, brass buttons and all-a costume that he is unwilling to take off even to go to bed. He tells his mother that regu- lar soldiers never take off their clothes, a statement that is not far from the truth, in France at least.

 juries but later was inserted as a pinch hitter and wrenched his side again, so that he probably will be out for ten days more.
 Meantime Hickman is very much on the job. Not game has passed since
 Jimmy swung into the lineup in which he failed to get hit. Once he won "a game by smashing out homer with runners on. Most every day he comes through at some critical moment with "a safe drive. Afieid he is playing equally as well. He is very fast both in covering territory and running the bases When Wheat returns some

PETER MAYER IN COURT.
Famous Heavyweight Now in Down and Out Club.


 New York, June 1.-Peter Maher, the famous old Irish heavyweight boxer of years gone by was yester- day sentenced to serve one month in the workhouse for intoxication. The old fighter, who made a reputation in his day that still is fresh in the memories of those who attend present, day boxing exhibitions, has been un- fortunate in his latter years, and now at the age of 47, he is but a shell of the former physical giant. whose heavy hitting ability made him feared among the heavyweights Of his time.
 He came up before Magistrate Buckingham in the Harlem court yesterday morning and pleaded guilty to the charge of intoxioation which

 New York, June 1.-"Are you through?"
 That is the question that Freddie Welsh is being asked thousand times a day, now that he is no longer light weight champion of the world. Since Benny Leonard succeeded to the title in that history-mahing match in New York several nights ago the boxing fans have been evincing quite as much interest in the ex-title-holder's plans for the future as they are in those of the new champion.
 In reply to the, question last night Welsh said "Yes, and no.''
 Briefly. it may be stated that Welsh intends, or rather hopes, to engage in but one more match-a return con- test with his late conqueror It was offered him by Billy Gibson, Leon-
