to whom lit applies. The taxable" in
come of these 100000 tax payers is
assessed at 81, 697, 500 900 but in these
cases again certain, allowances are
made such as in the case of insurance
premiums on the life of the taxpayers
or of his wife, within a limit, general
ly speaking, of one-sixth of the total
income, which allowances, when de-
Quoted, bring the first figure $1.697,-
100000 denoting the taxable" income
down to S73,600,000, and in the year
1852 the net produce of income tax
on this amount was sS,410,000.
Reckoning accordingly incomes dis
tributed amongst individuals and very
ing from $3.50 to anything over $780,
600. the figures are as follows:
Those exempt from tax altogether
100000; individuals chargeable with
tax, 100000; the taxable" income of
these 3,406.000 tax payers, sS,725, 000,-
600; the lawful abatements/ and per-
sonal allowances on this sum- $780,
10000; the net income on which in
come tax is levied, $5,125, 600, 900; net
produce of the tax, s1,152. $50, 600; net
produce of supertax levied on incomes
exceeding s12,5oo, $211, $685. 900. Grand
total, $1,364, 0S0,0 900.
But added to this is the tax payable
on the nonpersonal incomes. The tax
able amount in this case is s1,125,000,-
coo, and on this no attachments or per-
sonal allowances are permitted. The
net income paying tax is, therefore,
still $1,125,000, 900 and the net produce
of the tax arrives at 1927 AGO, 600 This
in addition to the $1,364,0S0 900 real
lied from the tax on personal incomes
brings the final total to the credit OF
the seate at 1851, 500, 900.

LIGHTWEIGHT TIRES
SHOW HIGH QUALITY
Goes One Hundred and Three Miles
Per Eouh After Fifteen Thousand
Miles of Hard Use

Mere weight in an automobile tire
is no Indication of quality. AS mat
ter of fact, exceptional weight in a
tire may be one of the surest proofs
of it's inferioriry.
The weight of a tire depends large
~ on the materials that are mixed
in with the rubber in the course of
manufacture. High specific gravity
in rubber compositions can be caused
only by the use of large percent
age of heavy compromising materials.
Tire experts know that all parts of the
casing except the tread give longer
service if they are made with the ad-
dition of very little compromising ma
terials Another fact we'll known to
the experts is that in making ths
tread the greatest toughness and dura-
bility can be secured by adding in
gradients that are relatively light,
The tire user can readily see that
there is, therefore, no reason why
tires should be heavy in order to be
strong. OF two tires of equal dimen-
sions the lighter is in all liability
the stronger. In pointing out this
fact, the United States Tire company
calls attention to the light weight of
its tires as an indication of the high
quality of the materials used in thoir
construction and as an explanation of
their toughness and rugged wearing

recommends an honest national self-in-
dictment" for the Germans. Writing in
the Tageblatt on the questions of war
guilt and the conduct of the war, he
says:
I'VE must investigate our own part in
this world brutalizing process quite as
much as we should our opponents
abroad. Not until then are we able to UNI
derstand the Paris decision as the tragic
result of our own national guilt. The
ruthless cruelty with which we were
treated we ourselves practiced in the oc-
oupied territory.
Whoever has the slightest concep-
ton of the rigorous measures we adopted
in the treatment of prisoners and the
systematic destruction of industrial
plants and the deportation of thousands
of young girl will readily understand the
resentment of the French people.
I'VE must be perfectly clear in our
minds in respect of our own guilt If we
are to be born again nationally. We
must always remember that, while the
whole world is practicing the politics
of might, we on the other hand have sys-
tematized the politics of might and ele-
waited it to a new political philoso-
ply

LODGE PIN SAVED
CHINAMAN'S LIFE


q Juarez, Mex, August IA lodge pin
and grip saved the life of a Chinese mer-
chant of Parral when Francisco Villa s
troops captured Parral some months ago,
according to a sworn statement made
by the merchant to the American consul
here upon hi arrival from the interior
recently.
The Chinese merchant refused to per-
NIT his name to be attached to the state
ment for fear he would be killed if he
fell into Villas hands. He swore that
he saw three of his cousins dragged
through the streets of Parral by rebels
and burned at the stake.
A demand for $4,000 was made upon him
upon threat of death, the merchant said.
He told the Villa colonel he did not
have this amount, and was about to be
ordered shot, he said when he noticed
a lodge pin on the lapel of the colonel's
coat. The merchant said he belonged
to the Chinese organization which was
similar to the one which the officer be-
lcnged to, and they exchanged hand
shakes. The ransom was reduced to $1,000
and he was finally permitted to go.

The taxable income in Great Britain
is one exceeding $500 per annum. But
number of individuals although in
receiput of incomes above the limit of
exemption are entirely relieved from
tie payment of income tax by the OPP
GRAFTON of the personal allowance-for
example. an allowance of SIPS is made
for a wife, and in certain cases for a
housekeeper and for dependent rela-
tives, where the total income of the
taxpayer does not exceed $4,000. An al
lowance is also made for each child
Including adopted children) under 16
years of age where the total income
does not exceed $4,000, and for every
such child beyond the first two if the
income, while exceeding $4,000, does not
exceed $4,000.
1t will be seen. therefore, from this
process of allowances that a married
man with wife and three children un-
der Is years of age would pay no tax
if his total income did not exceed s1100,
the whole being covered by allowances
as follows:
Abatement $500; wife, s125; three
children, 1915; total allowance, s1100;
balance to be taxed, nil
Further exemption is extended to sol
diers. sailors AMI merchant seamen to
whom the pre-war limit of exemption

The "taxable' Income Of an indi-
vidual represents roughly the total
net income within the taxable area
q. e. any sum above 5000, after all
the expenses incurred in earning it are
deducted, but before attachments and
personal allowances have been sub

instance of the married man with wife
and three children-the taxable" in
come appears as $11o0, but when law
full attachments have been made the
result leaves such an individual I'M

Thus out of $4,000 members of the 4
state having incomes between $3.50 and

from the tax by the operation of abate-
ments and allowances, leaving 900, 900
