TAXES ONE BILLION LESS

The country's best Thanksgiving
proclamation this year is written in
the new tax bill AS finally passed
by the senate it lifts more than
billion dollars in taxes from the
backs of the taxpayers, the coming
year
There are AZ million taxpayers in
the United States. OF these, mil
lions or more will have their income
taxes reduced more than one-half.
Wageearners and others. with in
comes of $2,50O or less, will pay no
income tax at all; neither will about
125.OO0 families that now pay taxes
on incomes under $4,000. All incomes
up to $4,000 will pay so per cent less
than last year. but the bill places a
maximum tax of 5S per cent on swol-
len incomes.
The bill retains the higher sur
taxes, ranging from so per cent down
ward Add the so per cent surtax
to the s per cent normal tax and you
get maximum tax of 5S per cent on
the large incomes. The senate kept,
the maximum surtax at so per cent
instead of the 32 per cent to which
the house bill had lowered 1t. The
lower surtaxes from 80 per cent down
ward. are reduced by a sliding scale,
the smaller the income the larger the
reduction. Incomes above $4,000
are reduced from 10 to 40 per cent,
but the larger reductions are all on
the smaller incomes. Il
believe you will agree with NE
in saying of this bill. that It does not
reduce the taxes Of the rich at the
expense Of the host Of small tax
payers, but that 1t takes thought Of

THE TETOTUM

We clip the following good story
from an exchange. It reminds US of
the experience of a number of Ocala
people:
This is the day of efficiency and the
toddle top. This being affirmative,
the burden of proof rests with the
next paragraph.
A most modern efficiency expert,
with long training in seeming err
rors behind him and long nose for
smelling mistakes. was engaged a
few days ago by one of the largest
banking concerns In Manhattan.
The expert sensed there must be
something wrong with the institution
if it hired him. He proposed to find
it. He spent hours on the companys
books and inspecting the amount of
waste paper in the litter baskets in
pursuit of the uneconomical employee.
He associated with the personnel of
the bank. and then he discovered
something.
Exactly seventeen minutes are
wasted every day by one-half of the
employees of the concern, the expert
found in the pursuit of pleasure, the
luss for gambling via the toddle top.
The toddle top, as you know, is a
Young prism on spindle. each of the
octagon's sides bearing such inscrip-
tions as "Put one, . "Take two" Put
al, " "Take all, etc. The idea is that
you "put in one cent. one dollar, or
take out the corresponding medium of
exchange.
The toddle top. as you know, is un-
lawful. There is ban against it.
You do, too know it.
Anyway, the efficiency expert wrote
out his report. It was submitted to
the board of directors of the banking
concern. An executive session was
called to consider the toddle TOP. The
session continued for more than an
hour. The efficiency expert tired of
waiting At the end of another half
hour the expert opened the door to
the executive chamber 70 inquire
when the session would be ever.
On the floor of the chamber knelt
and sat the twelve directors. One of
them was in the act of spinning the
toddle top. 1t spun and stopped

The story going the rounds that
there are five and a half million men
out of work, like most other such
yarns, proves to be a mistake. The
statistics from which this error
sprung said that if the idleness in all
lines was equal to the idleness in one
particular line, which was being in
vestigated. it would be equal to five
and a half million of workers out OF
Jobs. We daresay there are five mill
ion loafers in the United States but
they loaf more from choice than ne
cessity.

U-sERyE GROCERY
STORES CHANGE HANDS

One of the largest business deals
that has taken place in the city for
some time was contaminated this
afternoon when Mr. Harvey Clark,
proprietor of the two U-Serve stores,
one located in the Ocala House block
and the other on the west side of the
square, in the Anderson building, sold
his entire interest in both of them to
Mr.. j. P. Phillips.
The establishment of the cash and
carry system in Ocala proved very
popular with our people, and the
stores have been very successful, as
the method of displaying the goods
and the idea of having the customers
wait on themselves not only gives the
purchaser the opportunity of cheaper
prices, but suggests to the house
keeper something new for the daily
menu.
Mr.. FL. B. Wilmington will manage
both stores for Mr.. Phillips, who
showed his good business sense when
purchasing these stores and again in
securing Mr.. Wilmington as his man
ager, for Mr.. Wilmington thoroughly
understands the retail grocery bust.
ness and is a progressive and up-to.
date business man.
Mr.. Clark. who is also proprietor OF
the o. K. Teapot Grocery, will de
vote his entire attention Co his bust
ness there.

Boyd, of the federal court for North

revised version of the Overwhelming
