INCOME TAX
FOR MARRIED
MEN CHANGED

WASHINGTON, Sept, 14.-Every
married man with an income of less
than $1,000 a year will enjoy an ex-
emption of $4,000 in figuring his next
years income tax, instead, of $4,000
as at present.
For every dependent, including par
ents Of children he may deduct an
additional $400. The exemption for
dependents is now 5000.
Thus a married man with one child
will only pay a tax on that portion of
his income more than $1,000; two
children, on his income more than 49,
300; three children, more than $1,000;
four children, more than $4,100; FIVE
children, more than $4,000, and six
children, more than $4,000.
If he has more than six dependent
children and his income is not more
than $4,000 the government will look
with compassion on him and he won't
have to pay any income tax at all.
Adoption of these exemptions in the
new revenue bill was virtually assur-
ed with their acceptance by the SEN
ate finance committee.
