MEASURE TO HIT
LARGE EvADERs
PROVISIONS OF NEW TAX MEAS
URE TO FOLLOW SECRETARY
MELONS PROPOSAL
TAX ON SALARIES CUT
GENERAL REDUCTIONS OF LEyIes
UNDER FEDERAL ACT INceUD.
ED IN NEW BILL

Washington.-The complete text OF
the new tax bill was made public by
Chairman Green of the House ways
and means committee
In all its features, the bill follows
the recommendations previously made
public by Secretary Mellon. 1t pro-
| poses several hundred amendments of
| the existing revenue law, many of
them of ii highly technical nature and
designed to put an end to tax evasions,
and many others dealing with the
changes advocated by Mr.. Mellon In
income and other tax schedules.
Mr.. Green made public the text of
the measure after "A proposal for pub
licity of its provisions had been the
subject of Il heated discussion in a
subcommittee. Democratic committee
members, led by Representative Car
ner of Texas, the ranking Democrat,
had insisted that the detailed provi-
sions be laid before the public, but the
chairman had declined to comply with
their demand. Mr. Green said his ac-
ton finally was prompted by knowl-
tu-N 'bht tiS NohlSnlo VI llle
were known to many outside the com
mittee members.
One of the principal revisions pro-
vided in the bill is Il reduction of sur
tax rates so that the surtax would
begin at l per cent on net incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000; would provide
nnsadditional per cent for each addi-
tional $1,000 up to $4,000; per cent
additional for the next $4,000; and
would then add 1 per cent, for each
$4,000 up to a maximum of % per cent
on net incomes of 100000 or more.
Under the present law surtaxes be-
gin at / per cent on net incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and scale
upward to n maximum of 80 per cent
on net incomes exceeding 100000.
The new bill also provides that the
normal tax on incomes shall be 3 per
cent, where 1t now is 4 per cent, and 6
per cent where 1t now is per cent
reduction which the treasury estI-
mates will result in loss Of revenue
of $91 100000 a year.
Provision also Is made in the bill
that 25 per cent Of learned income"
which is defined as wages, salaries
and professional fees, shall be counted
us exempt in computing income tax
returns. The greater part of this OK.
emption is expected to fall to those
having small incomes, with the re-
suit that the treasury expects re-
duction of $97 100000 from this Sec
tion alone.
The bill proposes the outright re-
peal of the present taxes on kilograms,
telephones and radio messages. theater
admissions and of certain other null
sance taxes, including the levies on
silver plated flat silverware, pencils
and fountain pens selling for not more
than 81, and clocks and watches SELL
Ing for not more than SIS.

BRAND new TIRES
wanted BY THIEF
Second-Hand Article Holds but
Little Interest to Auto Ac-
cessory PEIoiner.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotivs Engineering,
Chicago, Ill)
After an automobile has been taken
put of the establishment, where 1t was
purchased, 1t is no longer n brand
new machine, but secondhand one.
The market value of such car. al
though driven but few miles. varies
with its popularity among motorists.
second-Ha and Tire Not Wanted.
Exactly the same is true in the case
Of tires. A brand new tire, even
though Its tread Is but slightly marred
oy road contact. IL considered sec
ond-hand tire and Its value depre-
ciates quite bit, depending upon the
popularity of the make. A second
hand tire holds but little interest to
the automobile accessory thief who
makes practice of dismantling cars
Of nll extras. and not the least of
these are new automobile tires. The
extra tire is perhaps the easiest of all
the equipment of machine to steal.
unless 1t Is padlocked to the extra tire
rack.
1t Is my advice to motorists to put
their new tires on the wheels as soon
as they are purchased and run them
for several hundred miles. This will
greatly diminish the desire of the
thief for stealing your used tire-a
tire which will bring one-half the price
Of new one.
Tires StoIen Are New
This information com after an in
vestigation which shows that approxi-
mately 80 per cent OF oil tires stolen
are new ones. From the Viewpoint of
value tire that has been run several
hundred miles is worth practically as
much as new one. However motor
sists are bit wary of any tire that
is not absolutely brand new and has
the paper covering on 1t.

Caution and Courtesy

An act of courtesy Is gratify-
ing to all concerned In it. Two
persons meeting on the street or
a doorway are usually courteous
and show consideration to each
other; the same two persons
meeting on the road while driv-
ing are often quite discourteous.
Cutting In and out OF traffic IL
one of the worst forms of driv-.
ing.
The man who tries to pass
every one on the road does not
always get by.
Help the fellow motorist II he
Is In trouble on the road.
Share your gas with tho man
who il stranded far from a fill-
ing station.
Don't try to take up the en-
tire width Of the road.
AlwayS give way to the man
on an uphill grade.
When meeting another car at
night 1t is courtesy to dim your
light and give the other fellow
a chance.
Remember that your wheels
will throw water from pools In
the road IL you do not slow
down. II anyone Is near. show
the consideration you would ex-
pect.
Right of way is usually given
to horse-drawn vehicles.
Give your signals when turn
Ing or stopping. and watch for
signals Of other cars.
