Americans who saw prices sky
rocket at home and who saw them
selves and their neighbors nearly
lose their sense of money values,
would have felt thoroughly at home
in Tampico, the great Mexican OIL
town during the last few years
says a bulletin issued from the
Washington, D. c.. headquarters Of
the National Geographic Society,"
This was the port to which Unit
ed States gunboats were sent re-
Gently when the closing down Of the
American oil wells and re6neries
because of heavy Mexican taxes
threw thousands of men out of
work, and disorders were feared.
Fioated To Prosperity On Oil
"Tampico, long a port of no great
Importance, has had mushroom
erowth in the last fifteen years
continues the bulletin, Its popula-
ton increasing from less than 1900
in 1915 to we'll over 100000 today.
And the explanation for this great
stride forward can be given in one
word oil. The biggest gusher' the
world had ever known was drilled
near Tampico in 1908 and scores OF
other huge streams of oil have been
opened up in the same vicinity
since. Hundreds of millions of gal
Ions of oil have passed through
Tampico, and the town has been the
financial and business headquarters
for fields many miles away,
Money flowed easily into the
pockets of large number Of Amer
lean managers and technical work
crs who were brought in, and into
the hands of MEXICAN landowners,
merchants and day laborers. The
World War raised the demand for
liquid fuel to unheard Of heights
and it seemed that everyone In
Tampico was becoming wealthy.
Conditions closely paralleled those
in the oil towns of the United
States. silk shirts were not the
vogue that they were among the
loungers along every American
Main Street, but in their way the
Tampicans became equally as pro-
fcient Spenders. There was little in
ollnation to count the change The
cost of all articles of food and ap-
parel rose tremendously. Rents
scared until ordinary Accommodations
for Americans could not be OBJ
tanned for much under 5000 to $500
per month.
Because the after-the-war indus
tries Of the world required petrol
cum no less than did the navies of
the lighting nations during the war,
Tampico's prosperity continued aft
or most other communities whose
business was quickened by the war
were experiencing a setback. Now,
belatedly, the city is undergoing the
readjustment that came to the rest

Piedmont, Aug. 13.-Two chest
clinics were conducted here this
week by DR.. G. E. Mills, assistant
superintendent at the State Tuber-
culosis Sanitarium at Terra Alta.
twenty-five persons from families
in which some member has tuber-
eulosis were examined. DR.. Mills
found that thirteen showed definite
signs of pulmonary infection reQuir-
ing further observation and treat
ment. He recommended care in the
state sanatorium for eight cases
who have a chance to recover if
they will take the long course of
treatment necessary. DR.. Mills was
assisted by Miss Lennie B. Arthur,
field secretary of the West Virginia
Tuberculosis Association, and Miss
Alice Welton, field agent of the
State Board Of Chidren's Guard
ians.
Similar clinics are being conduct
ed in other counties by the West

FAMILY HEADS TAX
EXEMPTION PUT AT
$4,000 IN new BILL
Draft Allows S40O For Each
Dependent.

Taxes were reduced for heads OF
families with moderate incomes by
Republican members Of the House
Ways and Means Committee in
whipping the revenue bill into shape.
The exemption applying to indiyid-
ual incomes was increased from ST.
600 to $4,000 for those whose net
income is not more than $4,000.
$500 For Each Dependent.
No change was made in the pres
ent 81 900 exemption applying to sin
gle persons. The exemption for
each dependent will be $500 as
agreed upon earlier in the week, this
amount being twice the present 5000
exemption.
1t was estimated that the $500 in
creases in the exemption to which
married men with income of less
than $4,000 will be entitled will mean
loss in revenue of about $30,000,.
coo. The increase in the exemption
for each dependent will mean a loss
of 500 100000, these two cuts repre-,
senting a total loss of $4,000, 900.
The committee decided to stand on
the present surtax rates on indi-
vidual incomes below the proposed
new maximum of 80 per cent, apply
ing to incomes above $4,000. The
proposal of Secretary of the Treas,
ury Mellon that this maximum be
reduced to 25 per cent for incomes
Of the calendar year 1922 and there
after was definitely rejected.
Tobacco Tax Not Changed.
The increase in exemption is ex-
pected to mean that there will be
no further agitation for any de-
crease in the present normal taxes
Of per cent on net incomes of less
than $4,000 and s per cent on in
comes in excess of that.
The committee reduced the tax
on furs from 10 to 5 per cent and
also cut the manufacturers tax on
candy from to per cent. The
tax on works of art was reduced
from 10 to per cent. 1t was decid-
ed to make no increase in present
taxes on tobacco and cigarettes.
The committee voted to repeal
containing the so-called luxury taxes
This was in accordance with the
recommendation Of Secretary Mel
Ion. Earlier in the week the por-
lions of this section applying to
clothing were voted out, but at that
time taxes on carpets and rugs, pic
ture frames, trunks. valises, purses,
portable lightinl; fixtures, umbrel
las and fans were retained. Taxes
levied under this section have beer
computed in amounts in excess O
certain prices.
AS a substitute for the taxes in
section 904 it may be decided to i'm
pose somewhat similar taxes apply
ing to the manufacturer instead OF
| the retailer. It is proposed that tn
! manufacturer pay 3 per cent on tn
articles enumerated in section 904
| the tax to apply only when the ar
ticles were designed for sale at re-
tail for amounts above the price
