the new INCOME TAX LAW
effective JANUARY |, 1922

tBy Congressman Guy U. Hardy
Bepinniny January l, the new Fed
cral Tax Law goes into effect. On
that date many of the nuisance and
some of the substantial taxes will
be dropped and other taxes reduced
Something like q billion dollars has
been cut off the tax burdens Of the
people. This has been made posi-
BILE by rigid economies exercised by
the Congress and the executive de-
partment. A remarkable record In
face of extravagaces Of recent years.
years.
However there remains need for
revenue and the new bill provides
ample necessity for the people to
continue to keep posted on tax laws
The war Is over Of course. but a.
long as men live. who now walk to
and fro upon the earth, some Of
the war debts will remain unpaid
and the taxes will reflect the cost

World War. Today the interest on
the war debt is pproximately one
billion dollars. Probably never
again will the National budget be
as small as 1t was the year before
the war was declared.
But we have much to be cheerful
over After January !. we will not
have to pay taxes on: freights. pas
senger fares, medicines, toilet arti-
cles, ETC., hats, clothing, etc, parcel
post. Insurance, Ice cream. soda
fountain taxes, musical Instruments
sporting goods, motion picture Aims
fur articles. electric fans, sporting
goods. ETC., surety bonds.
And the taxes on the following
have been substantially reduced;
carpets, trunks, candy, pictures,
etc, and admissions.
INCOME TAX CHANGES
The exemption for married man
who earns not over 5000 year has
been increased to $500 This item
removes q tax Of $40 600, 900 from this
class of people.

COOPERATIVE ADvERT1s1Na.

In many cities nowadays, mer.
chants are uniting to impress some
idea on the public through cooper
ative advertising. In Fresno. Calf,
for instance, through the month OF
October, rs merchants combined in
such a campaign. Their idea was
that by getting together and unit,
ing in putting certain idea before
the public. they could break the
buyers strike"
In this campaign the merchants
continued or increased their own in
dividual advertising. and at the
same time united in using public
ity intended to promote the idea
they had in mind. They had large
space with big heading Lower
prices are here" Then they showed
picture of a scales. on which the
goods tina could be bought for a
fixed amount of money in 1920 were
being weighed, In comparison with
scales containing 1921 purchases.
The 1921 side of the scales of course
greatly outweighed the 1920 side,
since the dollar in 1921 will buy
mere them It did . year ago s
At the bottom of the notice a list
of the rs merchants cooperating in
the campaign was given. Each
merchant participating in this cam
paign was allowed to use special
emblem bearing the picture of
dove, and bearing the inscription
I'VE are demonstrating that lower
prices are here" Over and over
again this thought was emphasized
"Visit our stores and let us demon.
strate the fact that prices are low
er."
Printers Ink" which describes
this, campaign, reports that it ac-
complished two results. It stimu-
lated sales and promoted spirit OF
getting together, among the mer
chants.

A most interesting meeting of the
Holly WOman's Club was held on
the afternoon of December 8, at the
home of Mrs. w. s. Partridge. Mrs.
R. D. Wilson read an instructive pa.
per on the topic entitled. Local

The exemption allowed for each
minor child has been increased from
$3.50 to 500. This item relieves such
parents of the payment of about
tSO.O0O.00O.
These exemptions go into effect
ut once and will reflect in the taxes
payable next year.
Take for instance a married man
with two children, making 5000 q
year. He will pay no income tax
under the new law. There are said
to be 100000 such families in the
United States
The surtaxes which begin on in
comes above 5000 have been reduc
ed all along the line but when the
income exceeds 100000 the tax is
SO per cent Of that above. These
reductions In surtax, however, do
not apply to the tax paid in 1922,
but apply on incomes for 1922 and
taxes paid after January l 1923.
An increase In the flat corpora
tion tax from ten to twelve and
one.half per cent Is substituted for
the so-called excess-profits tax. Cor
poration profits, when paid to the
stockholder as dividends, become
subject to the normal tax and sur
tax the same as other income.
There are many administrative
changes. including provision for
simplifying income tax returns.
These are the most important
changes in the revenue law. They
may not be pleasing to everybody,
/ suppose no tax levy or revenue
bill was ever written that was en-.
tirely pleasing to everybody who
pays taxes. But the revenue must
be raised and this seemed to be the
beat bill that could be workeN out
ut this time, It is not permanent
law and we hope changes and re-
ductions will be made from year to
year.

THE MULTITUDE.

NDy Leroy nuTOH hciscy'
Often do vaguely wonder at the
crowds upon the street.
As the busy, throngfng people hur
ry by with restless feet.
Rudely jostling one another in
their surging to and fro ,
Each udmindtul OF the other in
their rush to come and CO.
Some Of them are maybe rascals
worthy to be put in Jail,
Others merely anxious matrons
looking for q bargain sale;
Some are honest, kindly people, on
some worthy mission bent,
And lot of them want nothing but
round Of merriment.
All regardless of each other, maybe
sOrdid in their aim,
Often selfishly pursuing gilded
wealth or tickle fame;
Caring not for friendly visits as
they crowd and push along.
Seldom with chum Or comrade in
the busy hnstling throng:-
o. my needless fellow pilgrims on
the teeming road of life,
There Is something more important
than lot of greedy strife;
And we miss deal OF comfort that
we might enjoy each day.
II we fail to be a friend to those
who meet us On the way.
