INCOME TAX FACTS
No. g

Changes in the revenue law are
of material benefit to the average
family man. Under the revenue act
of 1921 married person, living
with wife or husband, whose net in
come for 1921 was $4,000 or less. is
allowed a personal exemption OF
$2500 Under the revenue act of
1918 the exemption allowed a mar
ried person was $4,000, regardless
of he amount of net income.
The normal tax rate is the same,
per cent on the first $4,000 of ne.
income above the exemptions, and g
per cent on the remaining net income
Given his personal exemption of
$2500, plus $400 for each depen-
dent. married man with three
children-the average American fam
ily--will pay this year on net in
come of $4,000, "A tax of $12. On the
same income for 1921 he would have
paid tax of $50.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for
himself whether his income for 1921
was sufficient to require that Il re-
turn be filed. Full instructions for
making out a return are contained
on the forms, copy of which will be
sent to taxjayers who filed a retcrn
last year. Failure to receive a re-
turn, however does not relieve a tax
payer of his obligation to file Il re

collectors of internal revenue and
branch offices.

WHAT RIGHTS SHOULD
AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE

Washington, Feb. 9.--"All the leg.
islation might be passed could not
make man and a woman alike. The
fundamental difference of sex and all
that it implies must forever forbid
complete similarity"
With this for basis, Mrs. Flor
ers' League. sends broadcast some
questions which, she says. must he
answered before the new proposed
Federal amendment proposed by the
National Woman's Party be consid-
cred by Congress and the state leg
islatureS.
The proposed &mendmentas draft
Ell reads:
Section /. NJ Hlicai. owl, or
legal disabilities IT Inequalities Dn
- o. sex, or on account Of mar
riage unless applying alike to both
sexes, shall exist within the United
States or any place subject to their
jurisdiction.
Section =. Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by APP
propriatc legislation
Some of Mrs. Kel!y's questions are {:
"Will husbands need to continue
to support their wives?"
Of o;,
mothers pensions is Clearly an in
equality on account OF sex and of
marriage, which does not apply alike
to both seXes. Shall widowers have
pensions, or shall widowed mothers
be deprived OF theirs?
will the amendment dcstrop the
new law popularity known as the
Shepard-Towler bill. which creates
an inequality by reason of sex, in
favor of women, maternity not apply
ing alike to both sexes?
What becomes of the dover rights
that women have in many states?
win women be subject to con-
scription?
What will become of the Mann
act, which exists solely for the pro-
lection of women and girls?
"Will those women wage earners
who now have the benefit of the
statutory eight-hour day, rest at
night, and one days rest in seven,
lose these advantages?
How can they get an eight-hour
law for themselves in state where
workingmen do not care to get il
because they prefer negotiation
backed by organization to statutes?"
Washington legislators are finding
these questions worthy of thought,
whichever side they take in the mat
ter.

INDICTED HENcHMEN OF NEW
BERRY GET FEDERAL JOBS.

Senator Newberry's henchmen in
Michigan who were indicted with him
are now receiving their rewards in the
way of appointments to prominent fed
eral positions, according to a state
ment made recently in the senate by
Senator King (Dem., Utah), who said:
'T have on my desk two of the letters
to which referred. One of them states
that Mr.. Henry C. Meyers. Of Caro-,

at Caro-, one of the best paying offices
In the county. The letter says: rs
this a reward for distributing money
to gain a nomination for office?
Myers name will soon be sent to the
senate for confirmation.
Another letter which 1 have states:
"I understand that five major fed
eral appointments have been made in
Michigan under the present admins
tration, and with one exception, 1. e.,
the collector of internal revenue at
Detroit, all of such appointments have

tence because newspaper people are
human and want TO express their
views. An honest paper tries to keep
it's personal bias out of reports of the
news so far as is humanity possible. In
the editorial 1t is at liberty TO say

ed in the news. After all, the fourth
estate has as much right to opinions

any of the first three. The fact that
people read editorials justifies their

being. and suggests that they have
some value.
What are editorials? They are COM
ment. expressions of a papers opinion
on various subjects. They may repre-
policy. Moreover, they are informa-
ton as news cannot be since they are
not confined to the happenings of one
day. They may delve into causes and
draw conclusions. Alas, they are a
never ceasing cause of controversy.
One editorial may please somebody,
but it is certain that everyone will dis
please somebody, which does not mat
ter so very much after all.
Editorials do not exist to reflect
popular opinion and, contrary to pub
lie opinion, at their best they are not
written to sway opinion.
1t is often said, particularly IN small
cities, that papers should confine their
editorial matter to local matters, that
people take their opinions on national
and international subjects from larger
papers. If the people take their opin-
ions on anything from any editorial
column, they are chumps. An editorial
presents a pointsof view and presents
1t as convincingly as possible, but it
is not the law and all the prophets.
The best service it can perform is to
stimulate thought. If 1t can prove q
point by statement OF chapter or verse,
If it can turn UP an important side
light that reveals new angle of q
problem, If it can inspire active inter
est in a. subject of Importance, If it
says something, it is a good editorial,
and has fulfilled it's purpose. Eloquence
and style are precious, but the sub
stance is essential. In short, an edi-
torial is the result of thought, de-
signed to instigate thought. None of
which alters the fact that people will
continue to like editorials expressing
their point of view and to disapprove
those with which they do not agree.
If they were wise they would follow
the papers example and do their own
thinking, reading editorials as possible

LOST OR STRAYED! THE REoR-
GANIZATIoN COMMISSION.

Every now and then the reading
public, or that part Of it which reads
the administration press, is told of the
wonderful work being done by the
joint congressional committee to reor-
ganize the executive departments, of
which Walter F. Brown, not member
of congress, but a former progressive
of Ohio, and personal appointee of
President Harding, is chairman. The
formation of this committee resulted
from a measure introduced by Repre-
sentative Robert Walton Moore
(Dem.. VAL, recognized as an able
student of governmental affairs look
ing toward departmental reorganiza-
ton.
One of the duties of this committee
is to eliminate duplication in the work
of the departments. In the discussion
of the first budget estimates, in the
treasury appropriation bill it was dis
covered that the work of the register
of the treasury is being duplicated by
another bureau, and Representative
Andrews (Rep., Neb.,) suggested that
Mr.. Browns committee could well
take this matter up, which led Mr..
Moore to remark:
"Will the gentleman allow me to say
that that committee of which / happen
to be member has not been called to-
gether since last June, nor have the
members of that committee-at least
as far as / am concerned-had any in
formation from the chairman of the
committee since that date. The
committee has had no meeting, and
there has been an unbroken silence for
over six months"
This drew from Representative Gar
rett, the democratic leader the state
ment that the president had requested
or demanded that he be permitted to
name a personal representative on the
committee. and added:
"Ali hope of results from that reor-
ganization committee was destroyed
the moment this body and the senate
chose to turn the body over for an
outsider to become the chairman of it."

Cleanliness i'm the Home
2. Methods of Cleaning.

2. Methods of Cleaning.
! The cleanliness of every part of the
house has a direct bearing upon the
health of the people who live in it,
The thorough cleaning of rooms in
wolves soap, water, sunshine, air and
elbow grease, because cleaning means
actually removing dirt and dust, not
merely stirring it up to settle again;
consequently dry sweeping and dust
ing are Intellectual. Vacuum cleaning
and sweeping and busting with damp
or "dustless' mops and busters are
good. Deoderants and disinfectants. do
not take the place of ordinary cleanli-
ness.
Dust does not carry living disease
germs to an appreciate extent. The
fact is now well established that dis
eases formerly thought to be trans
mitted by dust or even supposed to
travel directly through the air, are car
ried on tiny particles of moisture and
mucus expelled in coughing or sneez-
ing. This mode of transmission is one
of the most active agents in spreading
certain kinds of communicable dis
eases.
Nevertheless, dust in motion is
harmful; it irritates the lining mem
branes of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs, even causing tiny
wounds through which the disease
germs enter. Thus tuberculosis is es-
pecially prevalent among stonecutters,
felt workers and others engaged in
dusty trades. Metallic dust is espe-
cially harmful, because it is harder and
sharper than dust from organic sub
stances like wool and cotton.
One of the chief objections to dust
is that its presence in house general
ly indicates a low standard of Cleanli-
ness and the presence of other forms
of uncleanliness, less apparent but
more serious.
The problem of cleaning would not
be so serious if the furnishings of
most of the houses were simpler. Car
pets, many kind of ornaments, carved
and upholstered furniture, draperies
and many other things catch and re-
tain dust, and because they are very
hard to clean they often are not
cleaned except very specifically. Car
pets are considered unhygieniC, but
they would not be if they were thor
oughly and frequently cleaned. In fur
nishing a house it is advisable to Sc
lect those things that are easily clean
ed as we'll as ornamental, and to have
Just as little furniture and as few or
naments as possible, and yet give the
house a comfortable, home-like ap-
pearance.
