THE new TAX LAW
(By Congressman Guy U. Hardy)


Beginning January the new Fed
eral Tax Levy goes into effect. On
that date many OF thhe nuisance and
some OF the substantial taxes will
be dropped and other taxes reduced
Some thing like billion dollars
has been cut off the tax burdens OF
the people. This has been made pos
sible by rigid economies exercised
by the congress and the executive
department. A remarkable record
in face OF extravagances of recent
years.
However there remains need fol-
revenue and the new revenue bill
provides ample necessity for the
people TO continue to keep posted on
tax laws.
The war is over of course. but as
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 and
extravaganza OF that great World
War. Today the interest on the
war debt is approximately one bill
lion dollars. Probably never again
will the national budget be as small
as 1t was before war was declared.
But we have much to be cheerful
over. After January 1 we will not
have to pay taxes on freight. pas
senger fares. medicines. toilet ar
ticles. etc, hats. shoes. clothing.
etc, parcel post. insurance. ice
cream, soda fountain taxes, musical
Instruments. sporting goods. mo-
tion picture films. fur articles, cleo
trio fans. 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 a married man
who earns not over 5000 u year
has been increased te $4,000. Thia
item removes 4 tax Of $4,000, 900
from this class OF people.
The exemption allowed for each
minor child has been increased from
5000 to $500. This item relieves
such parents OF the payment OF
about $40 900. 900.
These exemptions go into effect
At once and will reflect in the taxes
payable next year.
Take for instance married ma,
with two children. making $4,000 a
year He will pay no income tax
under the new law, There are said
to be 1900. 900 such families In the
United States.
For such family the following
table shows the difference In the old
and the new law.

WILLIAMSBURG. Mass, Aug. 20.
The failure of bolshevism in Hun

TAX REDUCTIONS
>ONLy|LLUSORY,
STATESkELLER
''PaIpable Figure Juggling to
Throttle Small Business
Scati1ingly Denounced.
BY Universal Service.

A scathing denunciation OF the Ad'
ministration revision bill, which bears
"unmistakable evidence of deceit and
hypocrisy" Is mace in a statement
issued last night by Congressman
Keller of Minnesota. Mr.. Kellar Is
one OF the Republicans who voted
against the measure yesterday.
Sees Figure Juggling.
1.-THE so-called tax reductions in the
bill are purely illusory, and have
been accomplished only on paper for
political effect by the palpable Juggling
of figures" declared the Minnesota
Congressman.
The provision which authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to increase
certificates of Indebtedness, he says,
was put into the bill Ito enable the
Secretary to take care of the half
billion dollar deficit
He continues:
1.-THE bill has been railroaded
through the House on the plea that
it's passage win revive business. IL
will have just the opposite effect.
Instead of unshackling business,
which admittedly is suffering from
dens upon industry.
Repeal Of the excess profits Tux
and reduction OF the individual in.
come surfaces relieves less than
900 persons-most of them war
profiteers, of an average tax Of $50, 900
year, and directly adds an average
tax of $50 q year to about 200, 900
small producing corporations.
las a matter of fact the Indirect
burden will be much heavier, because
the bill will result in a deficit Of
approximately half a million dollars
and this, too, will have to be as.
sumed by small business men. A
bill better calculated to in lure the
smaller, legitimate business interests
of the country could not be devised
Mr.. Keller declares the claim that
the bill will reduce taxes S193, 840, 900
this year. 1917 ,790, 900 in 1922 and
$3.50, $780, 900 in 1923 will not stand
analysis. He adds:
Debt VIII Increase.
'If there is any reduction in taxes
during the year II will be accom-
panied by corresponding increase
of the public debt. This attempt to
deceive the people is quite on a par
with the proposal to donate the war
profiteers a $500 900 900 bonus"

of $170,000,000 due on the floating

themselves by declaring who's busi-
ness is IL anyhow. even IL true" .-.
"In this country" he cried. "Repub-

sheviki. prohibitionists and anti-pro.
hibitionists. Are they all at peace?
IF a few Orangemen in Belfast
come out on July IL and beat few
drums. the news is flashed around the
world that the Irish are fighting again;
but when the Black and Tan burn the
entire business section of Cork. the
news Is suppressed"
The speaker declared there can be
only one kind of peace for Ireland.
The principle of selfdetermination
must be recognized.
