u. S. War Taxes Less Exhaustive
Than Those of France or England

able income reaches the taxpayer up
on the persons and corporations en-
trusted with the payment of such in
come. Interest on certain war loans
are exempt under the schedule.
The tax on business profits, pro.
fessional incomes and on incomes not
included under the regular schedules,
is so far reaching that 1t touches prac-
tically every source except the in
comes OF charitable trusts and organi-
cations and certain trade unions. The
tax rate is varying according to cir
cumstances.
The rate is applied to all incomes
exceeding 40 pounds year, with GER
tain attachments which decrease pro-
portionately as the incomes increase.
The abatement Is more generous and
the rate lower upon earned incomes
than upon those which are unearned.
Incomes Taxed.
The incomes of men In the army,
navy and Red Cross are also subject
to taxation, but in these cases reduced
rates are made.
Under the fifth schedule fall the in
comes of all employees Of the Crown
as we'll as of all ecclesiastical bodies.
The income taxable under the seized.
ule is not merely that received in pay
ment of current services, but also all
annuities, pensions, stipends and even
Easter offerings made to clergymen
by their congregations
The English system of luxury duties
is just as inclusive as that of the
United States and in many respects
the two measures, English and Amer
leans, are almost identical. In fact
the English law was taken as the
model, in some respects for the new
American tax bill. English law, as far
as incomes are concerned, is only a
growth and modification of a series of
income tax measures which had their
origin in the British parliament as far
back as 1912.
Like the United States, England has
made it rule to raise about one-third
of the amount she needed for war pur-
poses through internal taxation. For
the remainder she has had recourse to
loans and credits of which the United
States has furnished $3.345,00O,0oO.
Canada has also issued S350,O00, 900
OF domestic loans, about $90.000.00O
of which was taken by American
banks. The Australian war loan has
amounted to s399.413,oO0, while that
of New Zealand totals $107, 06S 900. In
dia raised one loan Of 100000, 900
which was advanced to Great Britain.

War Hints War Helps-War Duties
BY George AIDE.

George
To lend money on gilt-edge security and get
fair rate of interest is not sure evidence of pat
riotism. But, to refuse to lend money to your
country in the hour of need, when you can get the
money and when your country gives you the safe
end of the transaction, would be accepted in any
court as proof of blind and perverse ingrattude.
If you buy huge stack of Liberty Bonds and the
neighbors thereafter fail to build bonfire in
front Of your house and assemble in large num-
bers and call on you for speech and ask you to
run for congress, don't be downcast and feel that
your noble endeavors are not appreciated. Your
full reward will lie in the fact that you can walk
along the street without being pointed out as
discredt to the community. Besides, you will
have the bonds. Once more, bear in mind that
the big drive for the Fourth Liberty Loan is to
be short and strenuous. Go to the places where
bonds are for sale in the cheerful and willing
spirit shown by the men who registered last
week. Mark the dates-September 25 26 and e.

from ear to ear. Secretary Harvey
asked the cause of the broad smile.
He then let us in on the joke on his
bunkie, X. of Battery B, who had writ
ten to his best girl and told her he
was not X. p, and had received a
reply telling him to be good to the
rest of the boys. for you know you
were once a private yourself"
