MAN WHO PAYS TAX
ON INCOME IS LUCKY
FOR THREE REASONS
First, Because He Has Suffi-
cient Funds; Second, Rates
Are Put Lower, and, Third,
Current Act is Made Liberal.

The man who pays an income tax
this year has several reasons for
which to be thankful. First, that his
income for 1919 was sufficient to place
it within the taxable list; second. that
the normal rates are lower than for
1918; and, third, that the current rev.
enue act is more liberal in its provi-
sions than preceding acts.
Prior to 1916 distinction was
between only two classes of taxpay-
ers. A man was either married or
single, and was taxed accordingly. The
act of September s, 1916, extended the
exemption privileges in one, respect.
Recognition was taken of the fact that
many unmarried persons, in the main
tenance of a household assume the
same responsibilities as a married
man. Under the 1916 act the eX
emptions allowed a married person
were extended to incIude the head of
family" A single man, if his net
income for 1919 was $1,000 or more
must file a return. but if he is the sole
support of relatives by blood, marriage
or adoption, living in the same house
with him, and if he exercises control
OF household affairs. he is granted an
exemption of $4,000.
Allowance Added.
Still another distinction was drawn
by the revenue act of 1917. An afdi-
tional allowance of $500 was made'for
each child dependent upon its parent,
provided such child was under IS or
mentally or physically defective. The
exemption applied only to the father
or motherwho was supporting ade-
pendent child in his or her household.
The revenue act of 1918 extended
further the exemption privileges. The
additional S200 allowance now applies
TO each person (other than husband
or wife) dependent upon the taxpayer,
if such person is under is years of
age. or incapable of self-support"
Thus. for example, if a man supports
his mother uncle.s or aunt in a sani-
tarium. he is entitled to the 5000 addi-
tional exemption, but if he supports
his children at. home with his wife in
a sanitarium he receives no addition
al exemption for his wife.
Under the 1913 act deductions for
losses sustained outside of the taxpay-
ers' regular business were not allowed
The merchant or professional man
who took an unfortunate flyer in the
stock market was granted no allow
ance for such loss in the making of his
income tax return. The act of 1916
allowed such losses to the extent of
gains in similar transactions. For eN-
ample, the taxpayer who, such notbe-
ing his regular business. made 500 in
one stock transaction and in another
lost $1,000 was required to report the
Sla0 gain and could deduct only that

A RED MEXICO?

TT WE are to believe current dispatches
= from San Antonio, Russian and Ameri-
can radicals are trying to lay the founda-
tions for soviet system in Mexico. That
news is not astonishing. Russian and
American radicals of the more conspcu-
Gus type are ever ready to accept any
crazy alternative for honest work.
What is astonishing, however, is the
assertion that "the Carranza govern
ment" is giving aid and encouragement
to this project. Information calculated to
prove Bolshevist tendency at Mexico
City is to be laid solemnly before con-
gressional committee some time this
week.
Now, the Carrapza government includ
ing as it does the representatives of the
highly exclusive Mexican aristocracy and
! the ultra rich, has hitherto been motor
iously unwilling to give the poems even
fighting chance in the economic scheme of
the country. If Carranza has developed
a love of the proletariat, or even a shadow
Of regard for it, something strange has
happened to him.
There is little likelihood that the presi-
dent of Mexico has changed his views,
and one has to have nimble ina gination
to believe that the passionately self
interested lntellectuals in his government
are aching to turn Mexico over to the il
literate poems, who outnumber the "read-
ing class" in proportion of ninety-eight
to two. So to say that the Carranza gov
ernment is aiding Bolshevist agitators in
Mexico is like saying that the hardest
tories in the House of Lords were staying
up nights in the effort to turn England
over to propagandists of the Lenine phil
osophy.
If the propaganda mill is not working
overtime some one at San Antonio has
been seeing things.

A WORD TO TIE LADIES'

COPHISTICATION and sophistry are
~ snappily blended in the tart instruc-
ntions to the pupils attending the citi-
zenship school now being conducted by
the Pennsylvania League of Women Citi-
zens in Witherspoon Hall. make your
decision as to which is the worse party"
declared Mrs. Nancy NJ Schoonmaker
yesterday, "then hold your nose and go
in."
This is "peppy" enough, but is it really
sound advice? Bad as politics often is,
insincere as political platforms some
times are, frequently as the party in
power changes its opinions to suit its of
fetal prerogatives, there is scant virtue
in seeking to remedy the mess by as
suming an attitude of scon. A worker in
any faction, who brings to it nothing but
cyrticism, has few possibilities as a re-
former The enthusiasm and zeal which
really count attack abuses with a certain
amount of righteousness. Help cannot
begin with too much disdan. even if the
ills of the situatiCh are very evident.
In arranging our political manners the
women are not telling US anything new.
Neither did knowledge of it prevent
considerable number of honest statesmen
from justifyng the American form of
government.

PUTTING 1T UP TO LODGE

Opposition which defies the fundamental

Maiorities, however, betray their trust

iutism. Mr. Lodge is under the most
solemn responsibilities to the public, and
crce his opponents face political facts, his
obligation to compromise is pressing. If

plea were granted, Debs would be turned
loose. The prosecution of Berger in the
courts would be abandoned and Bergdoll
would be treated as martyr to the tyr
amy of an oppressive government un-
willing to permit able-bod.ed men to eXer-
else their own judgment about respond
ing when drafted into the army.
1t is to be hoped that the action in New
York will warn Congress of the direction
in which it is tending.
The Senate has already passed an anti
sedition bill which in operation would
give to executive officers the power to
punish men for their opinions, which the
New York Legislature is now trying to
exercise.
A similar bill has been reported to the
House of Representatives, and Attorney
General Palmer no longer ago than last
Saturday, with the New York outrage
still fresh in the minds of the people, said
that it was important for the protection
of the government that some such bill
should become law. If he wishes to give
aid and comfort to the social revolution
lists he will continue to talk in this way,
for the triumph of his theories would
overnight change hundreds of thousands
of conservative Americans into red radi-
ols

HEALTH PROPAGANDA

DREVENTIVE medicine, which is moth
u ing more than organized effort to
avert disease before the difficult business
of cure becomes necessary, is relatively
new in this country. 1t offers a field in
which intelligent propaganda, such as
Doctor Furbush appears to have in mind,
might do measureless good.
Pneumonia. heart disease, tuberculosis
and most of the kidney diseases are pre-
ventable by ordinary rules of hygiene
which the average man is too careless to
follow. Even cancer. the fifth malady in
the list of those which the new director
of health proposes to fight from the want
age point of his office, may often be elm
mated by early diagnosis and quick
action.
An maginative quality, as well as high
intelligence and technical fnesse, is ap-
parent in Doctor Furbush's work. 1t is
easy TO imagine that an unnecessarily
high mortality rate due to preventable
disease will offend the sense of order
that is characteristic of any man so we'll
trained as he.
tuberculosis has properly been called
a disease of poverty. 1t iourishes in over
crowded tenements. It's victims are the
underfed and the overdriven. Construc-
tive work in some of the congested dis
tricts will be necessary before the Depart
ment of Health can perceptibly check this
scourge. There will have to be better
housing conditions as we'll as cleaner
streets.
Mr.. Tustin and his assistants in the
new Department of Welfare can CO.

purpose
