Tax Bill.

Hardly any man will escape paying
some tax direct to the Fedel al gov
ernment, for the tax begins with in
comes of over $1,000 for single men

The normal tax is per cent on the
amount of net income in excess of
these amounts up to 5000 and II per
cent from that point up. with a grad
uated supertax for each 5000 in
crease up to $4,000 ana by larger in

went to Tylertown Tuesday to
meet with the WalthaIl County

road defect from the original
route and cross the river at Dill
lon and take in the western part
of the parish after which it re-
cross Boguechitto and get into
Franklinton.
In considering the routes tho
the cost of building and main

left for home before the route
