WASHINGTON, Sept A radical
change in the income tax section of the
new revenue bill made to-day by the
Ways and Means Committee just before
voting to report the bill to the House
tomorrow is calculated to affect favor
ably the purses of millions Of Ameri-
cans.
This change. made at the behest OF
the Treasury Department experts, who
apparently felt the law would take too
big proportion from the smaller in
comes. will allow the new abatement
feature OF the act to apply to the first
$4,000 taxable income, that Is income
above all exemptions. instead of to the
first $4,000 Of total income. The effect
OF this is TO reduce materially the tax

pay For example. under the plan in
the bill as 1t stood before the change was
made, married man with no children
and an income of $1,000 would have
finally adopted his tax will be only S24O,
n reduction Of more than one-third.
This change Is expected to reduce the
Governments revenue As the bill
stood. however. the Ways and Means
Committee members calculated that Il
would raise $4,000, O00. 900, and the loss
In revenue from the change in the per-
sonal income section is not expected to
exceed the 100000. 900 surplus above
the $4,000, 600. 900 needed.
Excess Profits Rates.
Despite the plea OF the Treasury De-
partment the committee felt II wiser to
retain the excess profits rates which
mad been written into the bill rather
than revert to the rates in the present
law.
As the bill will 60 to the House the
excess profits provision calls for an ex-
emption OF $4,000 plus per cent. Of the
invested capital and tax Of IS per cent.
on portions of corporate income in excess
OF the exemptions and not exceeding
10 per cent Of the invested capital. 4
tax or so per cent. on portions Of in
come between Is per cent. and 20 per
cent or invested capital. and a tax Of
70 per cent OF portions OF income in
excess Of 20 per cent. invested capital.
The ss,000.000, 900 revenue bill will
be reported to the House tomorrow. II
will carry the provisions that the per-
sonal income tax shall be computed as
shown as above and that the normal
tax shall be IS per cent. on undistrib-
uted income OF corporations, and IL per
cent. on the distributed income.
The committee decided to confer with
the Senate Finance Committee and try
to arrange for an adjournment Of Con-
gress from the day the big tax bill
is passed by the House until the next
session, early in December.
Congress has about given up hope of
passing tho measure before the time for
floating the next Liberty loan and men,

ton coming on and no more pressing

The contributors list for Labor Day

letters Of gIheral interest from which
are extracth these sentences
Enclosed herein please find my check
20 the order Of T1In SUN Tobacco Fund
for $3.50. From postals received
through a former contribution to the to-
bacco fund, am convinced that nothing
IN the form Of a oVt Is more appreciated
by our soldiers abroad than cigarettes
and smoking tobacco.
IT believe that you deserve great
credit for your patriotic efforts In sup
plying our soldiers with this necessary
comfort"
Letter and check were signed by Will
lam r. Hildrup. Jr. Of Harrisburg. Pa
What THE Sun Is doing for the Amer
lean soldiers abroad has never found a
simpler and fuller expression. not even
from the fighting men themselves. whose
appreciation has been in countless in
! stances aptly and generously given.
| How the Donors Are Thanked.
From the other quotation It will be
seen that the donor Of 500 to the fund.
Mrs. George F. Halliday OF Waikiki.
NJ T.. lays task on the managers OF
the fund. She writes, IT should be
pleased to learn somewhat of its DISPOSE
ton IL possible"
To fulfil this natural wish Of all the
donors, THE SUN Tobacco Fund made
| provision at the outset of its career
With every shipment of tobacco to
American soldiers abroad go postal cards
having printed on the address side
names Of donors to the number as nearly
as may be estimated by the amount Of
smokes the money gift of each of them
will buy. That Is the donor Of IS has q
certain number OF cards printed with his
name, donor OF $50 has ten times as
many, a donor like Mrs. Halliday Of
800 has twenty times as many.
When the soldiers receive the tobacco
they fnd In the carton or package these
addressed cards and they are in nearly
all cases punctilious in writing their ac-
acknowledgements to the donors, whom
they often address as II they were per-
sonal friends. for as such the soldiers
consider all who send them tobacco.
These cards are returned to THE SUN,
which completes the addresses and mails
them to the individual donors, thus
bringing the giver into personal COM
muHication with. the soldier whom he
has benefited. The correspondence may
stop there II the donor SO elects. but 1t
is not the wish OF the soldiers. who
nearly always give their full address
and beg for letter.
1t Is from this remarkable soldiers
mail that THE SUN is able to say what
II has said SO often, and what cannot
he contradicted that its supplies of to-
,-bacco go direct to the front and are de-
Iivered without unnecessary delay. In
fact, postal cards from Chateau Thietry,
from Cantigny. from active sectors all
along the allied lines have reached THE
SUN while it was still printing details OF
these furious battles. Such celebrity In
times when every foot Of tonnage is
