Winneshiek County Has Splendid
Corn
A contest is scheduled in the state
of Iowa, called "The Acre Of Corn
Contest" We have prizes well
worth a mans while and a nice
trophy is being offered We are very
anxious to have several farmers in
the county get in touch with us for
particulars and compete for these
prizes.
The Winneshiek County corn crop
is most wonderful this year. There
is no reason why the state winner
May not be- in Winneshiek county.
The counties in the southern part of
the state were badly burned by the
sun, during the summer; other
counties, damaged by rains, while
Others, are wet and late. We have
the most favorable conditions this
year for competing in a contest of
this mature. Kindly drop a line to
the county agents Office for particu-
lars or call in to talk it over.
Winneshiek County Farmers are
Heroically Selecting Seed Corn
For the Future.
The Governor issued a call that
every farmer select seed corn sup
ply for two years. The farmers,
through the experiences of the past
few years, are responding to this
call splendidly.
AS we travel through the county,
we see large quantities of seed corn
hanging on windmills and over porch
roofs. This has been splendid fall
for curing seed corn in these places.
Now thht the weather has turned
dump, such seed corn should be stor-
ed in dry places to preserve the
vitality and viability of the germ.
Midwest Show Date Changed.
The dates for Midwest States
horticultural Exposition have been

profits were changed in one important
particular. Under the kltchin bill II
was proposed to permit a deduction
from net income of 30 por cent OF the
amount Of capital added since the close
Of The pre-war period. This would
havr excluded as credit any part OF
capital added during the prc-war period.
As number OF corporations added
considerably to their capital in 1913 the
committee changed this section so that
this part OF The war profits shall be the
vested capital during the entire pre-war
period and the invested capital for The
taxable year
In reviewing The surtaxes on indlvld-
ual Incomes instead Of the arbitrary
rates imposed by the Kitohln bin the
Senate Finance Committee adopted a
graduated scale beginning at one per
cent on the amount OF Income between
$1,000 and $4,000 and an additional one
per cent for each additional. $1,000 In
excess OF $4,000 income. This regular
system Is malnted up 10 the including
incomes OF 100000. Above that amount
The nNN rates are:
For portions of incomes between
100000 and $4,000, 50 per cent.
Between si5O.oOO and 100000, Sc per
cent.
Between 100000 and 100000. 90 per
cent.
Between 100000 and $4,000. SO per
cent.
Between s5OO.oOO and 100000, 81 per
cent.
In excess OF 100000, G5 per cent.
Combined with the normal income tax
rate the new surtaxes will call upon
heads OF families with the incomes
shown below TO pay the taxes indicated,
II the Senate plan is finally agreed
upOn.
Evening journal., 1918-10-23

Under the Kitchin bill these taxes
would be respectively $3.50, $500, S5i5,
ssi5, $500, S2,s95, $685., $40 ,i95,
S2i, 1885 and S39095
All OF the portions OF the Kitchin bill
| inconsistent with the consolidation OF
the war and excess profits taxes under
| the head Of one tax were stricken out
today by the finance Committee. The
exact revenue which Will be raised un-
der the revised rates has not yet been
Officially computed, but treasury ex-
perts hazarded the statement there
would be no material loss of revenue.
An example Of how the revision OF
the business taxes will reduce the high
imposts of the Kitchin schedule Is sub
Joined In the case Of a corporation
having si,OO0,OO0 invested capital and
whose profits for the present year are
s200.OO0 IL the pre-war earning averaged
S200,0O0 yearly also the taxes shown
would have to be paid under the two
plans.
Ktehin Excess Profits Plan.

net income exceeding the credits and not
in excess Of 70 per cent. Of the invested
capital, $3.50.
Fifty per cent. OF the amount OF net

ELIMINATE DUAL
TAX ON PROFITS
Committee Su bstitutes S
Combination Plan Less
Burdensome
REQUIRES ONLY A
SINGLE RETURN

WASHINGTON, oct. 23-The Kitchln
war y. Oilts taxes and excess profits
taxes went by the board yesterday, and
as has been predicted the Senate
Finance Committee substituted an alto
gether new plain for taxing business
profits The committee also completely
revised the surtax rstes on individual
incomes.
The Senate committees plan IN rela-
ton TO taxes on business Is believed by
the committee to be more In conform
ity with the ldess OF the Treasury De-
partment than was the Kltohin plan.
10 is also their belief that II will be in
a general way less burdensome 20 busl-
ness and viii meet much Of the criti-
cism levelled at the taxation scheme Of
Mr.. Kitchin. The committee did not
eliminate either the war profits tax or
the excess profits tax. It has worked
out a combination OF the two along
what It believes 10 be more equitable
lines.
The effect is TO tighten the burden
materially on ordinary business profits
while stlll heavily assessing swollen
profits. In tumbling over the edifce
erected by Mr.. Kltchln the committee
has invited A stlff fight In conference.
as the excess profits schedule revised
yesterday was one Of Mr.. Kitchins pet
projects, and the majority leader Of the
House Is certain 10 make a determined
effort to secure its retention In the bill
as 10 finally was agreed upon.
Under the Kltchin plan the excess
profits rates are 35 per cent. on the
amount Of net income exceeding the
credits allowed and not exceeding IS
per cent. OF the invested capital 30 per
cent. Of the amount Of net income be-
tween IS per cent. and 90 per cent. Of
the invested capital and 10 per cent. OF
the amount OF the net income exceeding
20 per cent OF the invested capital.
The committee has combined the first
two brackets OF the tax as Mr.. Kitchin
wrote them and reduced the rate as
well As revised the rates are 30 per
cent OF The amount of the net income
exceeding the credits and not exceeding
20 per cent. Of the invested capital and
60 per cent Of The amount Of the net in
come exceeding 20 per cent. OF the in
vested capital.
With the combination OF the excess
and war profits today the Finance Com
mitlee did away with the necessity OF
every corporation making two complete
tax returns-one under the war profits
method Of computation and one under
The excess profits method. The Kltchin
plan, was that these two returns should
be made by every corporation and then
the tax paid under whichever one
the highest amount due.
The war profits portion OF the COM
mittee plan does not apply TO all cor
poratlons. Only those whose profits
still show an excess after paying the
excess profits tax are assessed. The
effect OF the change made by the COM
mittee yesterday is 10 make the 80 per
cent. war profits tax apply exactly as
heavily as In the Kitchin bill II Il ap-
plies TO all.
