GERRY AMENDMENT CUTS INDIVIDUAL
 INCOME TAX RATE

two per cent instead of four per cent on $4,000 as provided in the revised bill taxpayers whose net income is between S5,000 and $10,000 would lsay a normal tax of four per cent cn the excess over $5,000, instead of eight per cent on all over s4,000, and tax payers whose net income is between s10,000 and s15,000 would pay ror- nal tax of six per cent on the excess over S19,000 instead of eight per cent on the excess over $4,000.
 Incomes of excess of S15, GOO would pay eight per cent on all over that amount. but, it was explained, they would receive the benefit of the low cred normal tax up to s15.000. The surtax rates as fixed by the finance commi. tee would remain unchanged.
 Under the corporation income tax amendment offered by Senator Walsh, the rate on the first s100 000 of corporation net income would be 10 per cent; that on the income be- tween $100,000 and $500 0G0 would be l5 per cent and that on the income in excess of $3e0,000 would be 20 per cent
 This schedule said a statement issued by Senators Walsh and Gerry, will reduce the tax on the net in- come of 195, GOO corporations on which the Republican majority bill increas- es the tax from 10 per cent to Ia per cent, while it increases the tax en only about 4.000 corporations which have net income of more than s300.000 each per year..
 We believe our program is more equitable because it provides that corporations like individuals oi small incomes shall bear a less tax burden than those corporations with large incomes.
 Discussing the proposed reductions Tn the normal income tax rate on in dlyidual incomes below $15,0OO, tho statement said:
 This change will reduce mater. ially the tax bills of over 3,00O,OOt taxpayers, in striking contrast witt the republican plan of cutting in ad dition to lowering the surtax bracket the high surtaxes from taxpayer

Silver Jumps To 682 Cents On The
 New York Market
IRepubIican A. P.Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-An ad- vance in the price of bar silver in London today, due mainly to con- tinuance of the demand from China and India, was met by an advance here to 6834 cents an ounce.
 This is an increase of about 211 cents from yesterdays lowest quo- tations, 3I4 cents from that of Sept. IS, and 6L2 cents over the price quot ed three weeks ago.
 Incidentally, far eastern remit tances made further sharp gains. The Chinese Shanghai rate of exchange, which is governed almost entirely by movements of bar silver in London, registered an overnight advance of 2 to 79 cents per tael. A month ago this quotation was as low as 71Ia cents.
 Local dealers say that, apart from heavy purchases of silver for the Orient, the diminishing supply of the metal due to the virtual suspension of mining now is an important factor.

 Everybody was feeling the effects of whiskey and gin, according to Sherman, and phonogranh was making a mad racket. After cold bath had failed to revive the girl and she had been put to bed.
