PART PAYMENTS Permitted
Net Income From Dividends on Pre-
ferred Stock, From Interest, Rent

Called Unearned
Income.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The recon-
mendation of Secretary McAdoo that
heavier taxes be imposed upon I'M
earned incomes than upon salaries or
wages in return for labor was adopted
on Monday by the ways and means
committee.
The normal tax on earned incomes
of over $4,000 was fixed at 10 per cent,
an Increase of per cent over the pres
ent law, and the unearned income nor
nal tax was established at 13 per cent.
Below $4,000 the normal rate Is put at
per cent.
There was great opposition to what
should be considered an unearned in
come, but finally this definition was
agreed upon:
THAT portion of net income derived
from dividends on preferred stocks,
from interest, rentals, royalties and
annulties."
The committee changed the section
previously adopted providing for the
payment of income taxes by individu-
ais and corporations in installments.
While the committee has not en-
tirely completed the section dealing
with incomes, Mr.. Kitchin said that
the exemptions will remain unchanged.

If any member Of the IA. E. +. has

under such pleasant circumstances,
and with everything just exactly
right.

France, / have seen the most ruined
and desolate no-rAasls-land that anyone
can conceive, My former colonel was
made d brigadier- general and has
been very close to me lately, and
have enjoyed II wonderfully. My new
colonel Is a wonderful man, thorough
gentleman, and good friend to me.
He was the commandant Of the Ath
10. r. School at Sheridan while / was
instructor there, now he is my colonel
and we are great friends, ] tell you.
When our big move came he and I
decided to come overland by auto,
instead Of by train. Of course, YOU
know colonel rates an auto, and of
course" I have to share it with him.
Well, that night our driver was taken
sick, SO ! convinced the colonel that
il could manage the trip myself, and
wc started, never a Bit Of trouble
with the car, and covered AIS niles
Of France, and I tell you now, shall
never forget it.
Dad, you must learn to know my
colonel. He is Frank G. Gerlach. a
druggist Of Wooster. Sometime you
must look up his people and tell them
that your son is adjutant to Colonel
