HUNS SHOT HIM; HE
BUSTED THEM FIRST

Atlanta, Ga.-Melvin Pegol,
aged six, went out ito fight
Germans" and encountered some
small boys who looked like Ger
mans to him. They viewed him
also as a Hun enemy. One of
them secured his fathers revol-
yer, and, closing his eyes, pulled
the trigger. Young Pegol ran
home, trying his best not to cry,
with a bullet through his left
arm.
"They shot me-" he told his
mother, "but I busted them
first" The injury was not Sc
rious.

THE INCOME TAX

income which is greater than $4,000
and less than $500 is assessed at the
rate of one per cent, chat part between
$500 and $4,000 two per cent, and so
on up until the levy on incomes in
excess of $1,O0O,000 is SO per cent.
To give a specific example, suppose
a married man, without dependents,
whose net income for 1917 was $4,000,
wishes to determine his income tax.
He subtracts from this amount the
sum of $4,000, his personal exemption
under the act of September 8, 1916,
and, taking two per cent of the re-
naming $500, he determines his tax
under this law to be $40. His next
operation is to find his assessment
under the act of October 8, 1917, and
to accomplish this he subtracts the
personal exemption of $4,000 and takes
two per cent of the remainder, which
gives $50. Adding these two normal
taxes, he discovers his total income
tax to be $50.
If the same citizens income is
$4,000, his normal tax, calculated as
above, is $1,000 under the older act
and $40 under the new war tax. His
additional tax, calculated ON the
graduating scale, is as follows: The

first $4,000 is exempted. The next
$500, or that portion which lies be-
tween $4,000 and $500, is taxed at
the rate of one per cent, which
gives $25 The remaining $500 of his
income is the amount which falls be-
tween $500 and $4,000 and is as
sessed at two per cent, which gives
$50. Thus his total income tax is
composed of the two normal taxes,
$1OO and $14O, and the additional tax
Of s55.
The normal tax on the net earnings
of corporations is heavier than in the
case of individuals. In addition to the
two per cent which is levied under
the act of September 8, 1916, the new
law provides an additional tax of
four per cent, to be levied, assessed
and collected in the same manner, ma
king the total normal tax six per
cent. There is no exemption allowed,
as with individuals, but no tax is col
lected on any sum which is received
as dividends from the net earnings
of other corporations for the reason
that such amounts are taxed at their
sources. When corporation has
fixed its own fiscal year, the tax is
levied only upon that portion of it
which came after January 1, 1877.
In addition to these normal taxes,
the new law provides a tax of ten
per cent upon the accumulated earn

Gerald B. Hodgins, son Of Mr.. and
tending the University of Wisconsin,
has written an analysis of the in
come tax law for Commerce., the
monthly magazine of the university,
that will be of interest, especially to
all who have income taxes to pay be-
cause of the thoroughness with which
the analysis was made and the clear
ness with which the subject is pre-
sente1 Here is the article:
In opposition to a popular miscon-
ception, the new law of October 3,
1917, does not annul the former in
come tax which, under authority Of
the act of September s, 1916, is levied
at the rate of two per cent upon the
incomes of individuals in excess Of
$4,000 in the case of married persons
ior $4,000 if the taxpayer is single.
The only change effected is that an
additional exemption from taxation Of
5000 is allowed for each dependent
child under IS years of age or any
other dependent who is physically or
mentally deficient The act of October
g provides for further tax of two
per cent upon incomes in excess of
$1,000 for married persons or $1,000
for single persons The effect of both
assessments is to make the tax OF
married persons two per cent of that
portion of their incomes which is
greater than $4,000 and less than
$4,000, plus an additional tax of four
per cent on that portion. of the in
come which is in excess of $4,000. The
incomes of single persons are taxed
two per cent of the portion of their
incomes which is between $1,000 and
$4,000, plus a tax of four per cent OF
that which is in excess OF $1,000.
These are called the normal taxes and
are levied upon the income of every
citizen and resident alien, no matter
whether the source of the income is
within the United States or else
where. Any portion of the income
which is received as dividends upon
the stock of corporations is not taxed,
however, as the earnings of such or
ganizations come under another sec
ton of the law
In addition to the normal taxes, a
surtax is imposed, according to a
graduating scale, upon incomes above
$4,000 a year. That portion of the

SERVED LEMONADE To
-CHATEAU.THIERRY VETS
Salvation Army Workers Face Death
That Soldier Heroes May Have Re-
lief From Parched Throats.

Huge barrels Of lemonade served to
the American troops during the bat
tie of Chateau Thierry furnished only
one instance of the service being
rendered to the soldiers Of Uncle Sam
and his allies by the Salvation Army
workers now detailed with the fight
ing units on the western front.
= The troops had been hammering
at the Boche all day and all night
and many Of them had been put out
Of action during the terrific fighting,
but although suffering from wounds
made by shrapnel. rife bullets and
hand grenades, most of the injured
men were conscious and many of
them able to get about with the aid
OF improvised crutches. The surgeons
were busy in the dressing stations
and the waiting soldiers wanted moth
ing SO much as good drink of
something cold and refreshing.
Then it was that the Salvation Ar
my workers came along with several
barrels filled with sure enough lem
onade. Where they got the lemons
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
dove for the tin cups that were piled
alongside the barrels on a huge truck.
The surgeons said afterward that
the lemonade served to keep down
the temperature Of many lad whose
wounds could not be dressed until
the most serious cases had been at
tended to. And what that cupfnl OF
good old Yankee drink meant to
those boys who had just come out of
the inferno OF Chateau-Th1erry, will
never be told.
It Is Just that kind Of service that
is making the Salvation Army organi-
zation with the military forces OF the
allies one Of the most potent factors
in welfare work As one Of the seven
great war work organizations par
ticipating in the united war work
