PARCEL POST RATES DEFEATED

PARCEL POST RATES DEFEATED
Proposals to increase parcel post
rates to meet wage increases for
post office employees have been dis
carded, according to j. F. Reed,
president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation. While in Wash
ington, Mr.. Reed appeared before the
Senate Committee on Postof.ces to
explain that while farmers were not
opposed to fair wage for postoffice
workers, they consider it unfair to
ask farmers, who pay II per cent of
all parcel post rates, to bear this
additional burden.
AS a result of this hearing and
conferences with Postmaster General
New, when the Senate, meeting as a
committee of the whole, considered
the committee report, the plan for
increasing parcel post rates was re-
jected, Al to Ia.

REVENUE LAW CHANGES

A. H. Wilkinson, Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the State of Wis
consin, has announced that the Rev
enue Act of 1924, signed by the Pres
ident under date of June End, pro-
vides for a reduction of $3.50 on in
come taxes payable in 1924 by indi-
viduals and trust estates.
Mr.. Wilkinson stated that in all
cases where individuals paid three
fourths of the amount of tax reported
no further payment will be due; that
if, at the time the taxpayer filed his
return, he paid one-half of the amount
of tax reported, no payment will be
due until September 18th. However,
if at the time the individual filed his
return he paid only on-fourth OF the
amount of tax reported, he will only
be obliged to pay, on or before June
18th, one-half of the amount paid by
him when he filed his return. In
handling the tax payment in this
manner the individual will be receiv-
inc credit on his June 18th install
ment of the excess paid at the time
the return was filed, which results
from the $3.50 reduction Incorporated
in the new tax bill.
Mr.. Wilkinson also called attention
TO the fact that the $3.50 reduction
does not apply to corporations.
