FREAK LEGISLATION
FEARED BY LEADER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-"The
saving of several hun
dred millions of dollars through the
limitation of ornaments will result
in hundreds of attempted raids on
the United States treasury with
freak legislation said Representa-
tice Tess, chairman of the Republi-
can congressional committee, in a
statement today.
Congress will have to be alert1y
on it's guard to forestan In its IN
cipiency freak legislation aimed at
the funds saved by the administra-
TONS disarmament policy" he said.
From everywhere will come de-
mands for a slice of the money to
be saved which would not save the
federal government anything, but
only divert it's present expenditures.
"The fact that 67 per cent of the
total federal revenue is now being
expended for wars that are past
will remain unchanged for some
time" he explained. "The 20 per
cent that now goes for future wars
will be curtailed, we hope, but will
in no way make available large
sums for any purpose.
Representative Fess, who is chair
man of the house committee on edu
cation, said a recent investigation
showed that less than one and one
hundred per cent Of the federal
appropriation went for educationa
purposes.
"An ever growing popular demand
for greater national interest in edu
cation, one of the most importan,
features of which is the physical
education of the coming generation
demands first call on our resources
said Representative Fess. "In view
of the facts brought out by the
draft in 1917, when more than
third of the young men examined
were found unfit for full military
duty, the federal government has al
unuuestionable responsibility in the
extension of a comprehensive pro
gram to correct this inexcusable
condition.

OF Soldiers Found

COBLENZ, Nov. 26.-The miss

out.
The military police who found the
documents expressed belief that the
satchel had been taken from the
train by jealous woman. The
passports are being rushed to Ant

Additional Exemptions

The additional exemption OF $oOU
RI married men or heads of families
with incomes of less than $4,000 will
affect more than 100000 taxpayers
this wear, it is estimated. 1t will mean
an estimated $40 100000 less in taxes
this yea rthan last. In addition,
there is another change which will
affect about 2,750,00 taxpayers, the
increase of $200-from 5000 to $4OO-
allowed as an exemption for each
dependent. 1t is. estimated this IN
crease in the exemption will lessen
the governments tax receipts by
$3O,00O,0 900 next year.
Normal income tax rates remain
the same for 1921 as for 1920, the
difference in the individual income
tax bill being due entirely to the IN
creased exemptions and the lowered
SurtaXeS.
A feature of tn enew law not genl
orally recognized is that there IS no
change whatever in the tax laws Tor
this year, other than in the 1ndlVld-
ual income class. Corporations and
partnerships will continue to pay
taxes during next year under the OLD
law passed in 1918. The new tax
regulations covering corporations
and partnerships 90 IOI DSCOIliS SI-
fective till January I, 1922, and the
first taxes collected under them will
not be collected till March, 1928. 1t
will therefore me more than sixteen
months before a corporation or a
partnership will feel the effect, in
actual tax payments, of the new law.
Under the new law, the maximum
possible amount of tax to be paid
by an individual, no matter how
large his income, will be So per cent
of his total net receipts-and then
only in the case of the very rich; I'M
der the old law the maximum was
rs per cent. Under the new law the
maximum taxes paid by a corpora
ton will be II IL per cent of its
net income; under the old law the
theoretical maximum lin 1879 was
90 per cent. The difference in the
case of corporations is due to the
lifting of the excess profits tax,
effective January 1 next.
The profits of a corporation, when
distributed in the form of dividends,
however, are taxable up to a theoret-
ical total of 5O92 per cent, the tax
being paid by the individuals receiv-
ing the dividends and not by the cor
DOratiOn.

CHANCELLOR DOUBTS
IRISH AGREEMENT

TURNBRIDGE WELLS, Eng

Birkenhead, speaking at a mass
meeting here today, said he could

Irish question would be satisfac-
tCrily solved.
He said what the British govern

that, with one or two reservations.
Ireland should be placed in exactly
the same position as Canada.

chancellor.

say: why don't you raise an army
and coerce Ireland as the only means
of obtaining peace?' If such a
tragic necessity were to arise, no
British government would shrink
from the responsibility. But when
that had been done, how much near
err would we be to the attainment
of a contented Ireland?"

Privy Councillor Says
Germany Cannot Meet
Reparations Payments

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) - Privy Councillor
Duisberg, general manager of the
Farben Fabriken, formerly the
Friedrich Bayer company, speaking
today before representatives Of the
German chemical industry, said it
would be impossible for Germany,
from her own resources, to make her
Preparations payments, due next Jan
uary and February.
Should the Ruhr basin eventually
be occupied, he said, the results
would not be so fatal as frequently
supposed. 1--WE have already had to
endure worse" he added.
A systematic effort was being
made, he declared, to destroy the
competitive power of the German
chemical industry, by representa-
tives interested in the industries of
other countries, which$were COMPEL
ed to develop their own dye manu-
facture when the war severed them
from the German supply.
Denying that the German chemical
industry constituted war menace,
Herr Duisberg asserted that due to
overproduction in the chemical pro-
duction and the waning consumption
in Germany, the industry this year
had fallen to half it's former peace
time production. as that expectations
had been seriously hampered by
tariffs designed to protect the in
FAINT industries of other countries.
Should this campaign cripple or
destroy the German industry, the
speaker declared, Germany's ability
to meet her Preparations payments
would be gravely impaired, and "a
large percentage of our population
condemned to hunger" He express
ed the hope that that an economic

If the taxpayer has dependents,
his taxes will be less than the fore
going, as shown subsequently.
How Difference Varies
AS 1921 taxes are payable in 1877,
the last line of figures shows what
the taxpayers debt to the govern
ment will be next year on the basis
of the salary he is earning this year.
The difference, it will be noticed,
varies from a reduction of $40 in the
case of the $4,000 year man to $27O
in the case of the $4,000 a year man
These differences are due to the pro
visions of the new law.
l. The increase in the exemption
allowed married men or heads OF
families whose income Is less than
$4,000 a year. Last year the exemp-
ton to such taxpayers was S2,0O0;
under the new law it is $4,000.
2. Lowering of the surtaX rates
on incomes over $4,000. Llast year
the surtaxes started with incomes
of SIS 900 and were 1 per cent on the
first $1,000 over $4,000 and 2 per
cent additional on each $4,000 there
after, ranging upward until the max
imum of IS per cent was reached;
under the new law the surtaX starts
with incomes of $4,000. Thereafter
it ascends until a total of SO per cent
is reached. A compromise of the
surtax which the government col
Iects on this years income and last
