Surtax

The additional exemption OF sou
to married men or heads OF fam
lilies with incomes OF less than So
600 will affect more than 100000
taxpayers this year, 1t is estimated.
IL will mean an estimated $4,000
600 less in taxes this year than last.
In addition there is another change
which will affect about 2,750.OOO
taxpayers, the increase OF $500
from $500 to $500 allowed as an eX-
emption for each dependent. II Is
estimated that this increase in the
exemption will lessen the govern
ment's tax receipts by s3O,000,0Ol
next year.
Normal income tax rates remain
the same for 1921 as for 1920. the
difference in the individual incom,
tax bill being due entirely to the
increased exemptions and the low
cred slrtaxes.
A feature OF the new law moi
generally recognized is that there
is no change whatever in the tas
laws for this year. other than In

companys passenger department an
nounces that arrangements have been
completed to run a total of nine spe-
cial trains to accommodate those who
insist on topping off their Thanksgiv-

Six special trains will be headed to-

THE Jayhawkers and the Tigers. Five
of them will be run out of Kansas City,
while the sixth will depart from To-
peka at 1920 clock and is sched-
uled to reach the scene of the big

possible that an additional train will
be run from Kansas City, depending
upon the demand at the last minute.
Plenty of extra equipment will be on
hand for that purpose.
The Santa Fe Will run a special train
from Baldwin to Ottawa for the game
between Baker and Ottawa university.

high school games call for specials
Between Cherryvale and Caney. and
