COODCELL EXPLAINS WHY'S AND
''WHEREFORES' OF new TAX LAW

Southern California taxpayers
will save approximately 1867
600 annually under the reductions
in federal taxes provided for by
the new revenue bill. In addition
TO this reduction. of $7,500,000 is
allowed on taxes on 1928 income
which are payable this year.
Radical changes in addition to the
flat reduction of 25 per cent ON
1928 income, allowed under the new
revenue act, were explained hy Col
lectorgGoodeell in survey covering
the measure. These changes with
the exception of the IS per cent
reduction go into effect on 1924
income on which returns must be
filed next March.
Under the new legislation a per
sonal exemption of $4,000 is allow
ed all taxpayers. The old act limit
ed the $4,000 exemption to incomes
Of $1,000 or less, only $1,000 being
allowed on incomes in excess OF
$4,000. The $400 allowance for
each dependent is unchanged.
Who Must File
Every married couple whose net
income is $4,000 or more must file
a return. The old bill required re-
turns on net incomes of $1,000.
Single persons with net incomes of
81 900 or mere must file.
Returns must be filed for all
gross incomes of $1,000 or more, re-
gardless of the amount of net in
come.
On earned net incomes of $4,000
or less the new rate will be :. per
cent instead of 4 per- cent as here
tofore; from $4,000 to $4,000 /
N,er cent rate and 6 per cent on all
earned income over $1,000.
In addition to this reduction
further deduction of p per cent Is
allowed on all earned income not
to exceed $4,000 In other words
the salaried or wage-earning man
gets the benefit of the . per cent
rate, which is IA 80 per cent reduc-
tion, and i further allowance Of %
per cent giving him an actual tax
rate of / u per cent.
Surtaxes range from per cent
