Kentucky Congressman Describes
Burley Association As Largest

GIVES FACTS AND FIGURES

Representative j. G. Cantrill, Of
Kentucky, told the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington, how Ken
lucky hurley tobacco growers had
marketing organization in the
country. ~
During the last four or five
months We have built farmers CO.
operative organization in Ken
lucky" said MIR. Cantrill, land I
believe it will be of interest to the
House and to the country at large
to know something about it. We
have recently formed an organize
tion in Kentucky of $1,000 paid-up
membership.
Our membership extends into
the States of West Virginia, South
ern Indiana and Southern Ohio,
which grow the same type of bur-
ley that we grow in Kentucky. This
organization is thoroughly perfect
ed, now ready to do business. Il
controls 20O,OOO,O0O pounds of bur
ley tobacco, which constitutes IS per
cent Of the entire production of that
type of tobacco"
I'VE have under our control, be-
longing to the organization, us
large warehouses, ready to handle
this tobacco crop, these warehouses
costing between 100000 and So
100000. I believe that this is the
largest organization in point Of
numbers of any cooperative associ-
alton in the country.
by direct vote of the $4,000
members we have selected able, con-
sentative business men to handle
this organization. We expect to get
a price for this tobacco crop which
will total between 100000 and
$500, 100000, and that will be, as
we hope, the average sum per an
mum paid to the organization"

turn to the house within a reasona-
bic period of time. No one heard
the report of the gun.
Mr.. Gay, who owned 1,00e acres
of Bourbon and Clark county land,
had been active in the conduct of
his farming interests until about
four years ago when his health be-
gan to fail. Since then he has been
seyeral times to sanitariums, but
had been unable to regain his
health. This condition is believed
to have caused him to take his life.

ty, where he lived until about 20

ADVANCES TO
TOBACCO men
President Stone Asks Tobacco De-
ivered In Crop Lots To
Facilitate Handling
MARKETS TO OPEN SOON

Il want to thank the members OF
the association for their patience
and loyalty" said James C. Stone
president and general manager OF
the Burley Tobacco Growers Coop.
erative Association, Saturday. 81
want to assure them that their Off
GERS have been working night and
day in order to begin receiving the
tobacco of members at the earliest
possible moment, and l am glad tC
say now that we shall be ready to
begin receiving the 1921 crop within
the next few days.
Il should like to say to the mem
bers Of the association that it will be
better for everybody if every grower
will deliver his tobacco in crop lots
as this will greatly facilitate the
handling of the tobacco and lessen
the work incident to the receiving of
$4,000 different lots Of tobacco by
the association and the advancing
of money on each at the time of de-
livery"
The probable opening'of the ware
houses within the next few days, as
announced by Mr.. Stone, for the re-
ceiving of the pooled crop and the
consequent payment to the growers
of advances on the delivery of their
crops is an answer in the inquiry
that has been uppermost in the
minds of the growers who are mem
bers of the association.
President Stone was unable to
state the exact time OF the opening
OF the receiving plants, but the Off
Gals have been engaged actively for
many hours each day and some times
until far into the night in preparing
for the opening of the houses and
the receiving Of the tobacco and that
he was able to fix the time as within
the next few days was satisfactorily
received by the growers informed of
the situation in answer to their in
quiries.
A large delegation of tobacco
growers will go to Frankfort to-day
to hear Aaron Sapiro, Of California,
legal adviser of the association, ex-
plain the Bingham cooperative
bill in the House of Rep
resentatives, which will vote on it
after Mr.. Sapiro con-
cludes his address. The time set for
Mr.. Sapiro to address the House is
10 o'clock this morning.
Members Of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association
have no disposition to interfere in
any way with the sales of non-pool-
ed tobacco, nor to deny those grow
ers who did not see fit to join the
association the right to place
to sell their tobacco, President Stone
said Saturday.
Mr.. Stone said that one of the
most pleasing features of the situa-
ton was the evident purpose of the
organized growers to allow those
who did not see lit to join the asso-
citation to sell their tobacco where
they pleased, unhindered by any who
may have Joined the association or
their friends.

new RULING
ON INCOME TAX
The New Revenue Act of 1921 Con-
tains Two New and I'm
portant Provisions
SUBJECT OF MUCH INQUIRY

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Robert H. Lucas, district of Ken
lucky:
''The Revenue Act of 1921 con-
tains two new and important pro-
visions, which are the subject of fire.
quent inquiry. The first relates to
the personal exemptions allowed
married persons, and the second to
the previous requiring that a re-
turn be made of gross income of $5,-
900 or more.
"The act provides that a married
person living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was $5,-
600 or less shall be allowed per-
sonal exemption of $4,000. If the
net income of such person was over
$4,000 the exemption is $4,000. I'm
der the Revenue Act of 1918 the per-
sonal exemption allowed a married
person was $4,000, regardless of the
amount of net income. The normal
tax rate remains unchanged, per
cent. on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exemptions and 8 per
cent on the remaining net income.
I'm order that an income slightly
in excess of $4,000 shall not be SUBJ
jected to an Unfortunately dispropor-
tionate tax because of the reduction
OF the exemption to $4,000 thereon,
the law provides that such produc-
ton shall not operate to increase the
tax, which would be payable if the
exemption were $4,000, by more
than the amount of the net income
in excess of $1,000.
For example, on a net income of
5000, the tax, without this saving
clause, would be $1,000, which is
4 per cent. on 5000, the amount of
net income less an exemption of 81
900. The actual tax is $11O.4a
computed as follows: From the net
income of 5000 is deducted s2,51O,
the per cent. tax on which amounts
to $1,000. To this is added $40,
the amount of net income excess of
$1,000. nn
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriagt or adop-
ion.
Heretofore, a person whose net
income was less than his exemption
1000 If single, Or $4,000 if marri-
Id, was not required to file a re-
urn. Under the Revenue Act of
1921, if the gross income of an in
iividual equalled or exceeded $4,000,
Or if the combined gross income of a
married couple and that Of depend
ent minor children equalled or ex-
,eeded $4,000, return must be
lied regardless of the amount of net
income.
Net income'', is gross income.
ess certain deductions. The fact
hat allowable deductions from gross
income, for business expenses, losses.
Dad debts, etc., may reduce the net
income to an amount below the per-
'onal exemptions of $1,000 or ST.
100, does not alter the requirement
