NEW BIDS FOR COLLEGE
They Will Be Most Likely Called
For Mankato Structure

The bids for the new Teachers
college, which we're opened by the
state board of control on August 10,
were all considerably more than the
amount available for that purpose
at the present time and as the law
provides that no contract for state
work may be let where the cost ex-
ceeds the available funds, the
board of control was unable to let
a contract on the present bids.
The board now proposes to ask
for bids for the construction of a
smaller part of the first unit and
an emergency appropriation will be
asked from the legislature, when
that body convenes in January. for
not only sufficient funds to com
plete and equip the unit of the col
lege now under consideration and
also the north wing and auditorium.
1t is possible that revision of low
bidders figures to the new PROPOSE.
,tion will be called for within a
week.

LOOK FOR GOOD YEAR
In STEEL BUSINESS
Weekly Summary of Iron Age Filled
with Optimism Over Prospects of
Steel Trade This Year.

The steel trade enters upon the

hopefulness. 1t expects 1922 to
be better than 1921" says the
Iron Age, in its weekly summary.
''The fact is emphasized that the
country has been swept bare of steel
and that consumers, having used
up considerably more material in
1921 than the mills shipped them,
now have the mills as their sole
dependence. While capacity will
continue we'll in excess of demand,
90 per cent operation at some
time in the new year is not con-
sidered too much to expect.
Nineteen twenty one goes down

in steel. Ingot production pro
badly exceeded Io, 25o, 900 tons,
against 40, SSI, 900 tons in 1920.
Chicago reports give encour-
agement as to car orders. About
$4,000 freight cars are expected TO
be placed in that district early in
the year, whereas for the whole

New Provisions in Income Tax Law.


The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue,
A. II Wilkinson. District of Wis
consin.
The Revenue Act of 1927 con
tains two new important provisions,
which are the subject of frequent
inquiry. The first relates to the
personal exemptions allowed marri-
ed persons, and the second to the
provisions requiring that a return
be made of gross income of S, 900
or more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband and
wife, whose net income for 1927
was S., 900 or less, shall be allowed
a personal exemption of 81, 500.
If the net income of such person
was over $4,000 the exemption is
s., 900. Under the Revenue Act
of 1918 the personal exemption
allowed married person was
s., 900 regardless of the amount of
net income. The normal tax rate
remains unchanged, 4 per cent on
the first So 900 of net income above
the exemptions and s per cent on
the remaining net income.
In order that an income slightly
in excss of $4,000 shall not be sub
jected to an Unfortunately disrro-
portionate tax because of the reduc.
ton of the exemption to s., 900
therein, the law provides that such
reduction shall not operate to in
crease the tax, which would be
payable if the exemption were
s., 500.
For example, on net income of
5000, the tax, without this saw
ing clause, would be SI2o. 40, which
is 4 per cent on 5000, the amount
of net income less an exemption of
So 900. The actual tax is $40 40,
computed as follows. from the net
income of $500 is deducted s.
500, leaving S., $40, the d per cent
tax OH which amounts 10 500 10.
To this is added $1,000 "the
amount of net income in excess of
S., 900"
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, a person who
supports in one household one or
more relatives by blood, marriage
or adoption.
Net income" is gross income,
less certain deductions, The fact
that allowable deductions from
gross income, for business expenses,
losses, bad debts, etc, may reduce
the net income to an amount below
the personal exemptions of 81 900
or 81, 900, does not alter the re.
quirement to file a return of gross
income, if such gross income
equalled or exceeded $5,o
