HOW INCOME TAX
MAY BE REVISED
ON EARNED INCOMES, UNDER
$4,000, TAX MAY BE RE-
DUCED a PER CENT.
Earned Incomes viii Be Defined as
Salaries, Wages and Professional
Fees; Over $4,000 Tax May Be Six
per cent.

Charles Rasmussen, internal rev.
enue collector for Montana, has CIV
en- out a summary of the tax reduc-
lions, planned by the treasury de-
partment, in a bill that is to be intro
duced in congress Immediately. The
proposed changes include a 25 per
cent reduction of the tax on incomes
below $4,000 and an additional cred
it of % per cent on earned incomes,
which would reduce the tax on income
of this character about A per cent.
The treasury's analysis of the pro-
posed changes follows:
"1-Earned incomes, defined as
wages, salaries and professional fees,
is given a credit of 25 per cent of
the amount of the tax attributed to
the earned income.
"2-The normal tax on the first
$4,000 of net income is fixed at 8
per cent, and upon the remainder of
the net income at 6 per cent.
"3-The surtax rates begin at /
per cent on net incomes from s10,-
600 to $4,000; an additional 1 per
cent for each $1,000 of net income
up to $4,000; then 1 per cent addi-
tional for the next $4,000 of net in
come up to $4,000, and then 1 per
cent additional for each $4,000 of net
income up to a total of 25 per cent
at 100000 and over.
"4-Capital assets are defined as
property held by the taxpayers for
profit or investment for more than
two years. Upon the sale of capital
assets the tax on the gain from the
sale is limited to IL 1-2 per cent of
the gain, and the amount by which
the tax is reduced on account of such
a loss is limited to IL IL per cent of
the loss.
"5-The taxpayer is permitted to
take as a deduction from his gross
income in determining his taxable in
come interest on indebtedness and
losses of a non-business character
only to the extent that the SUI of
these two items exceeds hiswholly
tax-exempt interest.
"6-In community property states
where the husband and wife have a
joint interest in certain property of
acquired after marriage, the
from this property is taxed to
the spouse having control of property.
1.-THE principle contained in the
1918 revenue act that liquidation d.
vidends constitute a sale of the stock
instead of a distribution of earnings
has been restored. This puts liquida-
ting dividends within the capital gain
of the act and recognizes the
real effects of such dividends.
"8-The section with reference to
he reorganization of interpretations
been rewritten to eliminate ex-
sting uncertainties in the present act
Ind to include other usual forms of
corporate reorganization in aid of
business, such as the splitting of one
corporation into two or more corpora
ions.
"9-Provisions have been inserted

to prevent the use of this ~reorganiza-
ton section to escape proper taxa
tion by increasing the basis for de-
probation or depletion, or by increas-
ing the basis of gain o loss from the
sale of assets transferred in connec-
ton with a reorganization, or by dis
tributing as capital gain what are in
effect dividends out of earnings.
"10-The deduction for depletion
is limited to SO per cen of the net
income from the property depleted.
"11-In the case of a trust where
tribute or not, the income is taxed to

"14-The application of the pres
ent law requiring an income for a

presented before the board which acts
impartially and the practice there is
similar to that before the interstate
commerce commission. Upon a de-

Washington, Aug. 3.-The death of
President Harding is expected to
bring about few immediate changes
in the administration organization
President Coolidge has expressed a
wish that all those who served under
Mr.. Harding remain in office.
AS was the case. however. when
Roosevelt succeeded Mckinley to the
presidency. gradual changes in the
cabinet are expected as a matter of
course. Harry NJ. Daugherty, attor-
ney general, has been in ill-health
for number of months and his
friends say that only loyalty to his
chief has caused him to remain at
his post.
President Coolidge upon his arrival
here tonight will make his home tenn
porarily at the New Willard hotel. He
will have offices there and also is
expected to use his vice. presidents
suite in the senate office building and
capitol.
The presidential home at the White
House probably will not be taken over
until after Mr.. Harding's funeral.
Mrs. Harding will leave the White
House with her husbands body.

mained at the Mckinley home at

Gets Message of Death

HctS NcssdSC VI DCdh
A messenger from Bridgewater, the
nearest telegraph office, brought word
of the Presidents death to Mr.. Cool
idge in the following telegram from
George B. Christian. the Presidents
secretary:
The President died instantly while
conversing with members of his fam

Mr.. Coolidge's father. John c..
Coolidge received the message shortly
before midnight and read it to the
Vice President, who was in bed Mr.
Coolidge quickly dressed. Shocked
by the news, but outwardly calm, he
dictated two statements to his secre-
tary and then distributed copies to the
newspaper men who had gathered in
the living room of the farm house.
His first statement was as follows:
Mourns His Loss r-..
Reports have reached me which I
fear are correct that President Hard,
ing is gone. The world has lost
great and good man. I mourn his
loss. He was my chief and nv friend
1t will be my purpose to carry out the
policies which he has begun for the
service Of the American people and
for meeting their responsibilities
wherever they may arise. For this
purpose I shall seek the cooperation
of all those who have been associated
with the President during his term of
office. Those who have given their
efforts to assist him, wish to remain
in office that they may assist me, 4
have faith that God will direct the
destinies Of our nation"
A little later Mr.. Coolidge made this
statement:
1T Is my intention to remain here

ministered to me by my father. who

Washington, Aug. 8. - President
Harding's death throws new complex
tiles in to the political situation with
in the republican party which un-
doubtedly will have far reaching re-
Elections in the national convention of
next year. 1t probably will turn what
many expected to be merely a ratiti-
cation meeting into a contest for the
republican presidential nomination.
Six months ago tn denomination of
President Harding without any sub
stantial contest seemed assured. His
most likely principal opponent con-
fessed to a colleague that he was
without an issue.
THE presidents pronouncement for
entry OF the United States into the
world court, however, altered the sit
uation materially and during the last
few days there has come definite in
formation that there might be a con-
test after all.

Former Chairman Says Harding Was
Victim of "Cruel System" that Kills
or Makes Invalids.

Harding was another victim of the
cruel system surrounding and con-
trolling the office of the chief execu-
tive. today declared Will H. Hays, the
man who, as chairman of the repub-
ican national committee in 1920.
sent Mr.. Harding to the White House.
Il am inexpressibly shocked" Mr..
Hays said. The president gave his
life to his country The sacrifice of
this great man should not have been.
He is another victim of the cruel
system surrounding and controlling
the office of the chief executive, the
system which condemns to early
death or invalidism those men most
honored by the country"
