Georg Bernhard writes that the do
mestic fight in Germany against the
Pan-Germans is not a clever move at
present, as even If they have done Ger
many the greatest harm in the world.
II Is impossible to punish them now. es-
pecialiy as all the Entente propaganda
speeches are directed primarily against
Germany's domestic split.
We do not wish to insinuate," Born
hard continues. that patriots like Del
bruck intend to favor this propa ganda
but the result is that every stupid Pan
German expression formerly has been
brought to daylight, although leading
Entente statesmen are much too clever
to imagine that we intend to cling TO
these war aims in the present situation
of Germany"
! The best proof of the bad effect of
this Pan-German flight, the wyter says,
! is Roosevelt's late declaration. He
goes on:
Roosevelt demands as American war
| aims not only the separation of Alsace
and Lorraine, but also the giving up of
Schleswig- -Holstein and the handing
over of German Poland and west Prus-
sia to Poland He wants to divide UP
| Turkey and Austria Hungary. We have
| never read in the American papers. after
similar utterances, that these demands
hinder peace.
1.-THE widest annexat ZIONIST plans in
Germany appear harmless comparative
| ly, and Roosevelt makes very similar
demands to those appearing recently in
the French press. 1t is shown ever more
clearly that the real aim is the economic
paralysis of Germany through political
division.
Roosevelt, who has always had a
loose tongue, expresses what the others
| think,and even if every word is not taken
| literally. the spirit which speaks In his
words is significant. His speech shows
that we have more important things to
do than internal political fights
| Bernhard concludes that if the Ger
mans really wish to believe in the
enemy's statements. then Cecil carries
more weight than Roosevelt at this crti-
| raj moment.

ARTICLE


Washington, Sept. II.
The individual income tax in the new
war tax bill, now before Congress- Is of
the most general interest because it di.
rectly affects more people than any other
section of the bill.
The tax on the income OF individuals
will be. as general rule, two or three
times as much under the proposed law
for the fiscal year 1919 as was collected
during the fiscal years 1917 and 1918.
The tax on incomes up to $4,000 will
be 6 per cent: above $4,000 12 per cent,
with gradually increasing surfaces in
addition on incomes above $4,000.
Large Incomes Heavily Taxed
The tax falls lghtest on the person
with the small income and heaviest on
the person with the large income. The
man with the s25O0 income will pay
s1.20 per 800. while the man with the
S150,000 income pays $50 on each 800.
1t Is estimated that the new income
taxes will bring in $1,4s2.1S6,0 900, as
compared with S930,00o.000 collected
from that source for the last two years.
AS an instance the married man, with
out children, with net income of $4,000
will pay $40 income tax under the new
bill. as compared with $40 for the last
two years. The married man without
CilluTeT, WITH an lnCOHle VI @ooVV, WIN
has paid $50 taxes for the last two
years. will pay $3.50 under the new bill.
The single man with net income of
s250O, without dependents, will pay $50
taxes, while the single man with $4,000
net income will pay $240.
The exemption under the new billt-is
virtually the same as in the revenue
act Of 1917 Single men must pay taxes
on all net income over $1,000 and married
persons on net income over $4,000, with
a credit of 5000 for each dependent child
under eighteen years of age. The new
bill gives an added exemption by allow
ing a credit of 5000 to each taxpayer
for persons who, because OF mental or
physical defect, are incapable of self
support and depend upon the taxpayer.
Method Of Tax Levy
The income tax will be levied in the
following manner:
Single man, without dependents. per
cent on the amount his net income eX-
| ceeds $1,000 up to $4,000; IL per cen'
on the amount his salary exceeds $4,000
and surtaxes in increasing percentages
as his net income exceeds $4,000.
Married man, without children or other
dependents. 6 per cent on the amount his
net income exceeds $4,000 UP to $4,000
70 per cent on the amount his salary
exceeds $4,000, and surtaxes In increas-
ing percentage as his net income ex-
ceeds $4,000. The married man Is granted
an exemption on his normal taxes OF
$4,000 for dependent wife and 5000 for
each dependent child under eighteen
years of age.
The individual income is, therefore.
per cent on the amount between the line
