INCOMES SUBJECT TO TAXES

over and above the first S4.000, which is now eight per cent on all profits is taxable at only four per cent In additoion to the normal tax of eight per cent, ther is. however, surtax which starts at 5000 and increases gradually, according to a table which may be found in the instructions on income tax returns. For instance, the surtax on S6,0OO would be S10, OH S20,- GOO it would ge $710, on $30,000 the sur tax would be S1.S10. on S50,ooo, S5,5lo, $100, 900, S23 BIO, and so on. It should be remembered that these surtaxes, like all other income taxes, are not cal culated on the entire amount of the sale, but solely on the profit resulting therefrom. In the calculation of this profit. various deductions and cXemp- tions are allowed. which could not be explained in a short article

the removal of the civil service from politics and spoils-mongering had not both parties combined in congress to thWart his every effort in that direc fiou.
 Hayes holdest challenge to the Republican politicians was his aban- donment of their 12-year struggle to reconstruct the Southern states from Washington. Ever since congress had seized from Lincoln's lifeless hand the control of reconstruction, the entire proceeding had been a, tragic failure
 Hayes came to the presidency in the depths of an industrial prostra- ton when wandering bands of tramps thronged the highways of the land. and soon the first great railway strike paralyzed transportation be- tween the Atlantic and the Missis- sippi. Tn response to the popular cry for more money" both parties in congress were for repeating or mOdi- flying the resumption act and for in- fating the currency with greenbacks on silver coinage. The president firmly resisted such a surrender. Had not his veto of the silver bill been overridden he would have saved the country from taking the first step on the road that led it 10 the brink of free silver in 1896.
 All this independence cost Hayes the support of the political time serv- CTS and the applause of the partisan press. These united In denouncing and ridiculing him as a renegade in politics and as sniveling hypocrite In private life.
 The White House went dry" for the first time under the Hayes, and the president was held up to con- tempt as a man too stingy to stand treat and too weak to resist a domi- neering wife.
 Hayes found the North and South divided and he left them more nearly reunited than they had been in a generation. He found the national currency paper and he left it gold and silver. He found the prosperity of the country at dead low uue anu he left 1t at high tide.
 It fell to Hayes to ring down the curtain on the epoch of the Civil war and to usher in another epoch. The voices of the past cried out against him, but in his complete re- tirement from politics he lived to hear the voices of the new timel give a more favorable and more just yer dict on his administration.

0uE serves his party best whe
 \ x serves his country best
 With those watchwords> Hayes had sacrificed himself and his administra- tiOn to reunite North and South, to cleanse the civil service and to regen- crate the Republican party. So qui- etly, Co c0ldly, so automatically did he go about all those great objects that he remained to the end of his term one of the most misunderstood most underestimated presidents. the Republican leaders hating him as an apostate and the Democrats despis- ing him as fraud.
 He selected one of the most dis tinguished cabinets In history. But he did it without consulting party leaders or considering the claims of factions, and the offended senate threatened and muttered for nearly 6 week before it confirmed the nomi- nations. To the disgust of practical politicians he threw away" a high class foreign mission on a man like James Russell Lowell, "a dashed lit erary feller." as Senator Cameron said, and he enraged Roscoe Conk- ling by fiinging the political machine of the imperious senator out of the federal offices in New York city.

rAMEs ABRAM GARFIELD was the

TAMES ABRAM GARFIELD was the J latest and, 1t Is fairly safe to say, the last of the presidents born and bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding that humble state, he was one Of the half-dozen scholarly men who have sat fin the presidential chair.
 Garfield is the only president who was present al his own nomination. The presidential lightning struck him as he sat in his seat in that most ex- traordinary and exciting national con- vention which met at Chicago In 1880. All the "Stalwart" clans, believing with a St. Louis editor that there was "one more president in the bloody shirt, ," seized upon the great name of Grant. and under the banner of the Hero Of Appomattox" they rallied against the Half Breeds" who followed "the Plumed Knight" James c. Blaine of Maine.
 The rival champions in that remark able tournament at Chicago were Ros- soc Conkling, chieftain of the "Stal- warts" and James A. Garfield of Ohio the spokesman of the Half Breeds"
Daily picayune., 1921-01-24

although he was restrained from di- rectly supporting Blaine by the instruc- tions of his state in favor of the nomi- nation of John sherman. Conkling, a handsome flop. carefully studied the right moment to make his theatrical entry upon the stage the first day, drawing the applause as he advanced down the aisle with his "grandiloquent swell, his majestic supereminent, over towering turkey gobbler strut" which Blaine had held up to the laughter of congress years beSore in never-to-be- forgiven speech. The next day Gar field took his revenge by entering while Conkling was speaking, and the wei coming cheers drowned the voice of the indignant speaker On the third day the two came to grips in de bate and the Ohioan scored on the New Yorker.
 While the gallery still was cheer Ing the victor in that round, Conkling wrote on the margin of newspaper and sent to Garfield mocking sugges- tion that he was playing to the gal lery in his own interest: 'I congrat- ulate you on being a dark horse !"
 Tn truth Garfield could not rise in the convention without helping him. self more than he helped Sherman who never had chance to win. As ballot after ballot was taken, 1t be- came plain that neither the immortal 306' who followed Grant nor the deaf ening cheers which his name evoked could overcome the prejudice against a third term In the White House, and 1t was made equally plain that this "Old Guard" never would surrender to Blaine.
 A new candidate was necessary If the convention was not to fall to pieces in factions. One solitary vote for Garfield on most of the ballots had continued to point the finger of des- tiny at him. Wisconsin pointed all her fingers in his direction when Ter dele gation broke to him on the thirty fourth ballot.
 Garfield rose with pallid face and dry lips to point of order. But Sen ator Hoar of Massachusetts, who was in the chair, rapped him down. In two more ballots he was nominated by a combination of the Blaine and Sher- man men.
 In the midst of the uproar the ncmi- nee sat limp and persplring in his seat. "Get me out of here" he faintly whis- pered to his seatmate, Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio.

DWELLING ON FOUNDRY
STREET GUTTED BY FIRE
Entire Contents Consumed, Including
$500 in Money

" One OF the numerous dwellings bes
longing to the Henry Miller Foundry
Co. on Foundry street, and occupied
by Joe Lewis, wife and three children,
a colored family, was nearly destroyed
by fire last Friday morning about lO:-
80 o'clock.
According to Mrs. Lewis, the fire
started III the front part of the house,
presumably from the heating stove,
although of this she is not certain. She
was preparing dinner in the kitchen at
the time and the door between the two
rooms was closed. WhenNshe open
ed the door the inside of the room was
in flames.
There was no water at hand with
which to combat the fire, and before
the arrival'of the fire department, the
building, small frame one, was we'll
nigh destroyed
. The contents, which included a new
and expensive talking machine, 5000 in
money,and all the clothing of the fam
lily except what they were wearing ,ana
upon which there was no insurance,
was entirely consumed. 4
Lewis is employed as. a molder at
the foundry.
