INCOME TAX THIS
.. YEAR WILL BE LOWER

Income taxes are going to be much
lower this year than they were for asst
year. The amount of income which
is taxable under the proposed new
law starts at $4,000 instead of $4,000
as heretofore and the exemptions for
dependents have been raised to S400
instead Of 5000. Suitaxes do not
start to count. until the annual income
reaches $4,000.
The normal tax on incomes of $2500
is $50. This is irrespective of the
$400 exemption allowed for each de-
pendent. A $4,000 income will pay a
$40 tax and each additional $1,000 up
to and including $4,000 will pay an
additional $40. The surtax starts at
$4,000 and is SO making a total for
that sized income. $170. The jumps
are regular then in progression up to
an income of S1,00G,OO0 per year
which pays a normal tax of S79,6sO
and a surtax of S308, 100, making a
total tax of $388,47O. Of course
you can take off $400 income for
every dependant You have, which
might help some.

In the spring Of 1915 came the staggering
news Of the shortage Of Shells The tales Of the
German atrocities in Belgium had destroyed the
last lingering doubts in the minds Of the British
people. and they had responded to Lord Kitchen

VOLUNTEERED in few weeks, and conscription be-

But on the top Of the problem Of recruiting
men with the minimum dislocation Of the ma

equipment and supply. The pre-war, machinery
had proved inadequate. Terrible stories began

IN unknown field, and he did not start with

And then he turned to the doubters and
croakers and in one characteristic phrase he
called upon them to stop their eternal debating
and come into line: You cannot haggle with an
earthquake"
More than a year passed at this ceaseless
work Lloyd George has often told me how he
used to watch the tale Of production in the
statistical tables furnished him every week end.
All through 1915 he was in dread. If the Ger
mans had turned back from Russia nothing
could have saved the allies. The necessary
shells and guns were simply not there But
there was a date in the autumn when the dis
aster point would be passed. By then the allies
would have built up some small reserves and
the Germans would not have time to utilize
their superiority in munitions before winter set
in. 1t came. 1t passed, and Lloyd George
breathed freely again and went on to prepare
to turn tho tables in the coming year. And
turned they were. The French resistance at
Verdun and the smashing blows on the Somme
in the summer Of 1916 were possible because
the allies were able to fire two shells for the
Germans one, and from larger and better guns.

ambassador in Westinghouse that the new
mobiized national resources both in men and
material might move with the maximum of
speed and efficiency to and from the front.
Once he was freed from the pressing problem
of making munitions, Lloyd Georges mind
turned back once more to the fundamental prob
lem: How was the war to be won? For long he
had been increasingly anxious about the way
things we're, going both at home and among the
allies.
A very short experience war minister
confirmed his anxiety. The course OF the war
up to date showed no certainSaictory for the
allies. save by the terrible process Of attrition.
In 1914 the allies had stopped the German rush
to Paris In 1915. however Germany had prac-
tically broken Russia, and then. turning south.
had destroyed Serbia and broken through to
Turkey during the winter In 1916 she had
tried to finish the war by the attack on Verdun.
She failed, thanks to the heroic resistance Of
France, but the allies, in turn, failed to break
through the Somme. During the summer
negotiations had been proceeding for the entry
of Rumania into the war. Lloyd George OPP
posed it. 1t was useless in his judgment, to
induce Rumania to declare war unless the allies
were prepared to support her effectively. and
this they could not do. If she entered now she
would be destroyed. II she delayed. her added
weight during a general attack might be de-
cisive. But his advice disregarded and
Rumania went to her doom.
This decided Lloyd George. He would
longer be responsible for war conducted in
this sIip-shod way. He demanded reorganiza
tion Of the machinery for conducting the war.
After several days of crisis Mr.. Asquith re-
signed. and Lloyd George became prime minis
ter. Thus in two years from being the leader
of the democratic radicals in their assault on
wealth and privilege Lloyd George had. by his
practical energy and organizing ability, made
himself the nations leader in the greatest
struggle against militarism and autocracy in
the worlds history. -ts 81 '.-
