FRED CROUCH
PASSES AWAY
In THE WEST

Friends in the city have received
word OF the death Of Fred Crouch,
for many years resident OF Baraboo.
Mr.. Crouch was a veterinary surgeon
and stock breeder For some time,
Mr. and Mrs Crouch resided on
Ninth avenue and it was there thai
Mrs. Crouch passed away several
years ago. After her death, Mr..
Crouch sold the home and later went
no Pacific, Washington, their to re.
side with his son Willis.
Mr.. Crouch was nearing his eigh
&ieth year and was a member of Joe
Hooker post of the G. A. r. He Wis
tied in Baraboo last winter at which
time he was staightening up the af
fairs of his son Willis, whose death
occurred a year or more ago. Since
8he sons death, Mr.. Crouch had
made his home with his sons wife
and it was there that he died on FRI

chance, of lifting burdens that weigh
most heavily upon the poor. A
fair inquiry is, then, the extent to
which the reductions proposed do
inure to the benefit of the people.
How widely will they be distrib-
uted and in what proportion are
the remissions to the several
abilities of the benehciaries to pay?
An examination of the table pre-
pared by the Government Actuary
to show the estimated results of
the proposed revision disc1oses
that the income taxes of 13, 124, 600
individuals with incomes of $1,000
to $4,000 will be reduced by
$92,750,000 during the year 1925.
The Government will take another
loss of $52,100,000 on the income
taxes of 558,200 individuals whose
incomes range from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. In other words
more than 65 per cent. of the relief
from income taxes which it is pro-
posed to grant will be enjoyed by
individuals with incomes of $4,000
or less who will constitute more
than 90 per cent of all the indi-
vidua1 income tax payers. Accord
ing to these estimates income
taxes to the amount of $72,285, 900
will be RENTED to the $4,000 indi-
vidua1s whose incomes range from
$4,000 to 100000. That is to say

Guilty arises because there are avail
able no detailed estimates as to
what would be paid in 1925 provid-
ing no changes were made in the
present law. Some illumination NAV
be obtained from the dehnitive
figures for 1921, the last to be fullv
tabulated, although in those tables
the segregation of classes differs
somewhat from that made by the
Government Actuary for 1925.
These figures for 1921 show that
individual taxpayers having in
comes Of from 81, 700 to $4,000 paid
only 12.9 per cent of the total in
come taxes for that year. Those
receiving incomes from $4,000 to
$4,000 paid 9.57 per cent of the
total, and those receiving incomes
OF from $4,000 to 100000 paid
1912 per cent of the total, leaving
28.11 per cent to be paid by the
2,352 individuals, or .031z per cent
of the total number of individuals
paying income taxes, who received
incomes in excess of 100000.
Making due allowance for the
different bases of computation, il
would seem fair conclusion that
the proportionate distribution of
the proposed tax remissions is Just
and reasonable.

FOR New Modern Banking House
Within the next few days building
operations viii be started on the new
Bank Building for the National Bank
of Smyrna, Smyrna, Delaware. The
structure will have a steel frame, and
will be of fre-proof construction.
Aside from the attractiveness of the
exterior of the new building, the di-
rectOrs saw to it that only enduring
materials, such as bronze, marble,
metal counters, etc, will be used in
construction of the new Bank Build
ing. Particular attention was given
to the vaults, ana the bank will not
depend, alone, on massiveness nor re-
infOrced construction for security
they are having installed all those ap-
proved devices which will more than
serve as a challenge to the most ex-
perienced and adept bank robbers.
When completed, the vaults will offer
protection such as is not to be found
outside the larger cities. The new
building will prove a valuable addi-
tion to the business center of Smyrna
and will be one of the very finest
bank buildings, outside of Whining
ton, in the state of Delaware. A large
water color rendering of the new
building will be on display in the front
window of the temporary quarters
which the National Bank of Smyrna
will use during building operations,
which is in the w. L. David building
next to the PostOffice.

several hundred automobile loads of

chestra music and dancing and the
mery-gO-round was going. The chief
pleasure was bathing and as the sup

many used their cars as dressing
rooms and not a few donned their
bathing suits before they went to the
