INCOME TAX TO BE REDUCED
A THIRD FOR POOR FOLKS

Income tax schedules for 1919 ART
being distributed from Denver. The
cheering news is reported that fo,
those having incomes under $4,000 the
tax will be reduced third, Being 4
per cent instead of 6 per cent on the
excess over exemption allowed.
| The reduction affects all incomes OF
/ $4,000 and less over the exemptions
/ allowed by law. Since the wages OF
the working class have increased Sc
substantially in the last twelve
months, it is pointed out that a consid.
cradle bulk of taxes may come from
these classes. The tax on the first
$4,000 over the exemptions was six
per cent in 1919 for 1918. For 1919
collectable this year, it will be only 4
per cent.
turned before March Is. The taxes
may be paid in full or split into four
quarterly installments. Where the in
stallment system is followed, the first
one must accompany the return for
filing.
The single man must pay taxes on
his income over 81 900 a year, and the
married man, without children. on
everything he makes above 50 900 a
( year. The married man is also entitl-
/ ed to 5000 exemption for each depen-
dant child under lS years.
! Thus the single man with SO 900 in
come must pay four per cent on 81 900,
or $40. The married man with a
similar income need pay nothing. The
married man with $1,000 must pay
$40 if he has no children. If he has
L. Il r
I on $500, or S32.
The ways and means committee of
the house of representatives, which in
itiates the taxation legislation probab-
( ly will recommend another reduction
after this year. Eventually, it is be-
/ lieved that the tax will be reduced to
two per cent and that it will then re-
main at that figure permanently.
! Incomes in excess Of $4,000 over the
exemption allowed by law will be tax
ed at the rate Of 8 per cent.

VALUE OF TEN AND HALF
 TONS OF DIAMONDS

If all the diamonds mined in history and existing today as cut and polish ed gems were gathered from tine ends of the earth, they would form pile about as large as wagon load of coal dumped on the sidewalk, says a Chi eago statistical expert.
 The pile would contain 46,S55, ,474 carats and the gems would weigh 10h tons. If the pile were in the form of a cone, it would have a base diameter of eight feet and height of five feet. Reckoning the diamonds at $500 a carat, it would have a value of $13,- 906, ,642, 200. It would contain 710 1-3 gallons, worth $5, ,539,0 ,023 a gallon. All the worlds diamonds could be packed in an ordinary clothes closet or kitchen pantry. This estimate is based on an approximation of the total output of rough diamonds in the worlds history.
 India, it is. estimated, has produced, all told, 50 900 ,000 carats; Brazil, 15,- 0O0,000 South Africa, 170,574 ,000 i; Borneo, 100000; British Guiana, 50,- 900; Australia, 15o,90e China, 20O0; Siberia, 500; United States, 500. This is a total rough output of 236. TIT, ,374 earats, or 55 3-5 tons avoidupois.
 Only about 50 per cent. of rough dia- rponds are cut into gems and lose about 60 per cent. of their weight in being cut and polished Diamonds are virtually indestruetible, and the first diamond ever mined may possibly still be in existence
 But the estimate allows for the loss of at least 1000, GOO carats by flood, fire, shipwreek and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave a total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,355, ,474 carats
 The estimate of $500 a carat is the
 minimum price at which diamonds can be bought today. The popular demand for diamonds was never so great, and they have become the gem of working
 people as well as the wealthy classes They are worth three times as much

A large number from Baltic and other places around here took advantage of the, good sleighing and came to see this unusual attraction. There wasn't dull moment in the whole evening. The Dark Clouds produced a variety of talent, much of t almost unsuspected heretofore. The end men kept up lively interest between the songs with their jokes, which were mostly local hits. The choruses were well sung and the solos produced so many stars that it would hardly be safe to try to mention them Individuality The whole performance won praise for the men for the talent displayed and for the hard work which they put into it. Much of the credit is due, of course, to the interlocutor, w. G. Park, who coached the Dark Clouds and in every way worked to make the show the success that it was.
