ARTICLE XIII
I trust that readers have retained
the table which appeared In the previ-
how the table is to be employed for the
purpose of determining an individual
tax.
Item 80. Let us assume that John
Does net income amounts to $4,000
and that he Is a married man living
with wife and that he has no de-
pendents. By reference to the table,
the amount of the total tax opposite
to $4,000 is found to be 1870.
Item 40. If John Doe in the preceding
example had net income Of $4,000
his tax would be determined as follows:
The nearest lesser amount to 1000 il
$1,000. and the table has already
shown that the total tax on $1,000
amounts to $50
The tax on the additional $1,000 is COM
puted as follows:
The normal tax rate IL Der cent and
the surtax rate IL 3 per GER, a total Of
IL per cent. Eleven per cent Of 1000, no
The total tax would therefore be- .... $3.50
Item Al. Let us now assume that in
the preceding example John Doe had a
net income Of $4,000. of which amount
$500 represented dividends from the
stock of domestic corporations.
As before. the tax on IS, 900 would he. 1870
The surtax on the additional 81, 900 would
be per cent of $1,000. 30
OF this additional 81, 900, only $7o0
would be subject to normal tax Of
' '.'''......... %
John Does total tax would therefore be. 1858
Item AZ. If John Doe in the preced-
ing example had two dependent chill
dren, his tax would be computed as
follows:
ta) In the case Of item 80, the tax
previously found. SS7O
Would be decreased by two times $50. "a

DETROIT. February 10.-Now that
the auction Of the Lincoln Motor plant
Is out Of the way, the automobile In
dustry here has settled down to routine
again. Henry and Edsel Ford. the new
Lincoln owners, have done much to quiet
alarm about possible ruinous competi-
ton by announcing new prices on the
Lincoln. which were about $1,000 higher
than had been anticipated. The indus
try now Is enjoying a breathing spell
in which to prepare for the strife that
is sure to follow Ford's invasion OF the
high-priced car field.
No one doubts that consultations
among other manufacturers will follow
this movement. These developments in
the general business condition here are
encouraging. Production Is being In
creased in nearly all Detroit factories.
Nearly 1000 men were added to the In
dustrial pay roll last week and this week
200 were added at the Ford tractor
plant. 300 at the Lincoln plant and 500
at the Rouge Ford plant.
Dodge Brothers have increased work.

Atlanta Retailers Stocks

ATLANTA. Ga. February 10.-Cut-
price sales Of mems and women's
! wear, coupled with real winter wealth
| er. have reduced stocks Of retailers in
| this district to a minimum. Indica-
lions are that the carry-over Of heavy
garments will BIO smaller this year
than ever before. Each week finds
prices down lower than the week be-
fore. One of the leading dealers here
in mems wear Is selling overcoats
| that formerly retailed at $40 for
$24.50, which Is far below cost, 1t Is
claimed, and suits are being cut In
proportion. It Is believed, however,
| that the bottom has been reached.
i<These bargains have enabled con-
sumers to fill their requirements for
next winter and merchants are not
! likely to stock heavily for the winter
of 1922-1s23, SO far as heavy clothing
is concerned
Bank collections continue good and
the financial conditions of the district
are sound. Wholesalers and jobbers,
however, complain of the slow
liquidation of accounts and blame the
condition on the fall in the price OF
! cotton. Holders of spot cotton are
slow to sell at present price levels.
! Automobile dealers are expecting
better business after the annual au-
tomobile show, which will open to-
morrow night. All available show

| is expected to be tho largest ever
