HIS INCOME TAX HEAVY
Harding Must Pay Federal Govern.
ment More Than $4,000.

Warren G. Harding; as president OF
the United States, will receive some
thing like $4,000 less. compensation
from the government annually than
Woodrow Wilson has received.
The treasury will pay Mr.. Harding
the same amount that it paid Mr..
Wilson-s75,0 900 annually-but internal
revenue bureau officials say that Mr..
Harding must return nearly one-fourth
of this in income tax
President Wilson was exempt from
the income tax under a supreme court
ruling because he came into office be-
fore the enactment of the 1913 revenue
laws under which taxes we're sought
to be imposed on the salaries Of the
president and of federal judges. The
supreme court held that the. tax could
not be collected in the case Of incum-
bents because of the constitutional in
hibitation against the reduction of the
salaries of the executive and Federal
judges during their term Of office
The solicitor general has ruled that
the tax could be collected from officials
taking office after the law became er-
fective because that would not bring
about any reduction in salary during
the term Of office.
Revenue bureau officials say that Mr..
Harding, Of course, will be allowed the
usual exemption of $4,000 a year for a
married man and may claim certain
business exemptions. Placing his eX-
emption at $4,000 yearly, however, they
figure his normal income tax at s5,4S0,
and his sur-tax at $12.94o, astotal OF
s1S,42O.
President Wilson is understood to
have paid some taxes under the 1915
law before the supreme court ruled on
the section which a federal judge at
tackled but revenue bureau officials
will not say how much nor whether II
was refunded, holding that under Tho
law such matters are confidential.

HORSE LIVES HIGH
Man O. War Has Private Groom and
Private Pasture.

Private Pasture.
Every luxury lavishcd on royalty is
to lie the portion of Man O. War, word
champion thoroughbred, at Hinata
farm, near here where he has been re-
tired to the stud, says Lexington, ny.
dispatch.
A private groom, private feed tubs,
a private pasture, where he is allowed
to run loose, these are some Of the
things that are being provided by his
owner, Samuel D. Riddle of Philadcl-
phia, and Miss Elizabeth Daingcrfeld
noted woman breeder Of thorough
breds, under whose care he has been
placed.
Animals such as Nun O. War are
not allowed TO do the many things
their plebian brothers and sisters do
that might expose them to danger.
When the famous racer left the farm at
Berlin Maryland, where he was stabbed
after his return from his triumph over
in Barton ut Windsor. he was placed
in a padded automobile van ano haul
ed to the express car. On his arrival
in Lexington he was unloadcd into an
other van and taken to the Kentucky
Jockey Club race track for exhibition
to admiring thousands Of kentuckians.
When he was taken from the track
in Tinata farm, distance of six miles,
he was again placed on Il van and haul
ed over the smooth highway to the
farm. There he was unloaded and
placed in a stall specially prepared for
him. with the companion Of all his
travels, Mayor Treat, the old steeplc
chase racer, on one side and Golden
Broom, Mrs. Walter NJ. Jeffords four
year Old stallion or the other. For
Man O. War loves equine company and
he is to be kept satisfied by having
his chum with him as well as another
hiGhbved animal
Although Miss Dainscrfeld, whose
reputation as d breeder Of race horses
is second 10 none has said that "a horse
is a horse and Man O War will just

tative of The Associated Press that she
