RAIL PREVENTS WRECK.
Automobile truck Stops with Front
Wheel Over Edge of Wall on Church
Street-NObody Injured.

An automobile truck owned by the
Manley Bros company ran across
the sidewalk and against the iron rail
ing at the head of Church street about
$40 Friday morning, stopping with
the right front wheel over the edge of
the stone wall, thereby averting drop
of about 10 feet. No one was injured.
The truck was driven up Green street
from the Manley garage and as the
sharp turn on to Church street was be-
ing made the brakes failed to function
and before the emergency brake could
be brought into action the machine had
crossed the sidewalk and struck the
railing, a section of which had been cut
out at that point, where Charles Miner
had set UP II flight of stairs leading
down TO his property. The right wheel
of the truck went through the opening
in the railing and dropped over the cdge
of the walk. Several feet of the rail-
ing were bent. The truck was not dam
aged
The iron railing has served to avert
at least two other similar accidents
only a few feet from where the truck
struck Friday morning.

Retail Dry Goods
Dealers Propose
Revision of Taxes
Comprehensive Program, APP
proved Through Referen-
dunn of 1000 Members,
Filed With Committee.

Washington. Jan. 8.--A compre
hensive program for revision of tn,
federal tax laws estimated to yield an,
nually the $4,000,000,000 which Sec
rotary Houston has said the treasury
required, was filed today with the
house ways and means committee BY
the tax committees of the Nationa
Retail Dry Goods association.
The plan worked out contains sew,
cral proposals not heretofore ad.
vanced, including the assessment Of
a federal poll tax of $5 on each per
son over 2l years old who receives
an independent income, estimated
TO yield $80000,000 annually. Income
tax exemptions, it is proposed, would
be raised from $1,000 to $500 for
unmarried persons. and at from
$1,000 to $4,000 for heads of families
All business would be allowed an
exemption of $4,000. .f
Contains Many Features.
Other features carried in the pro-
gram, which was approved through
a referendum of the organization S
1000 members, provide that:
Income from salaries, wages,
bonuses and commissions should not
be taxed at so high rate as income
from business and investments.
Income derived from business,
whether individual, partnership or
corporate. should be taxed on the
business itself and be subject to no
additional tax when distributed to
partners or stockholders.
All other incomes including pro-
7. TT from the sales of capital assets
should be taxed at a higher rate
than income from business and in
a still higher degree than income
from manual or mental efforts.
Tax Gross Sales.
There should be a tax On gross
sales OF all goods sufficient when
added to all other taxes proposed
in the program and including GUS
tom receipts to aggregate the re-
quired S4,000,000,000. The sales tax
at per cent would yield $l,8l6,500,-
600, it was estimated.
The program would eliminate
from the present revenue act the
excess profits tax, surtaxes on in
dividuals, taxes on transportation.
insurance, admissions, dues and on
non-alcoholic beverages and special
and capital stock taxes, stamp taxes
and certain excise taxes.
Levy No Surtax.
The normal income rate would be
fixed at 4 per cent on the first $4,000
above the exemption, while the re-
mainder would be subjected to tax
of 8 per cent and no surtaxes would
be levied.
Income from business institutions
would be taxed at 10 per cent on
amounts above the exemption.
All other incomes including "un-
earned or investment income and
profits. would bear surtaxes ranging
from l per cent on incomes from
$4,000 to $4,000, to per cent
on incomes in excess of $500,000.
