The New Revenue Bill.

The senate finance committee has reported to the
senate the bill for the fiscal year end
ing June 50, 1919. It provides for a tax levy Of
$5,953,466000 which is reduction by more than So
229O26000 from the amount levied through this
measure when it passed by the house last Sep
TENDER When passed, after discussion and pos
sibe changes by the senate the bill must go back
to the house for acceptance further revision there
The signing Of the armistice made many of the re-
auctions possible.
The main sources of revenue relied upon are in
dividual income taxes excess profits taxes and ex
else taxes on various commodities and acts. The
basic for the income tax is per cent on taxable
income up TO $4,000, exemption being allowed on
$1,000 for single men, and on $4,000 for married men
From $4,000 upward the rate is y per cent Be
ginning with $4,000 a surtax is imposed which IS
graduated to reach 65 per cent on all incomes over
$1.O0OO00 The tax on corporations has been fixed
at 70 per cent the net income in excess
Of credits provided by the act. The amount subject
to the excess profits tax is figured as the sum
Of the following items: % 80 per cent of the
amount of the net income in excess of the credits
and deductions prescribed by the act if such net in
come is not over 20 per Of the invested capital
% 80 per cent of the of the net income over
20 per cent Of invested capital; and 90 the sum by
which so per cent Of the net income exceeds the
amount of the figured under items % and C2p
In the redrafted bill a large number of proposed
excise taxes and taxes on Injuries have been elmia
ated
The estimated revenue that will be raised under
the provisions Of the pending bill and the present
law is divided follows: Incomes. $22O7 900 900.
war excess profits $24OOooo0Oo; inheritances $751;
100000; transportation and insurance. 1929 900 900;

Color Blindness.


When sunlight or daylight passes
through a prism, which means any
transparent fluid or solid with sides
lot parallel, the light rays are di-
Eided into their component colors,

consist of 4 perfect blending of the
tints of the rainbow-Roy G.. Biv-
