Uniformity Impossible.

Naturally the rates cannot go up
uniformly at ! per cent for every
$4,000 of increased income. because
some brackets are more productive
than others, and the Trea sury has TO
figure on a certain total from each
class
The Treasury's recommendation"
If, indeed they can be called by any
such formal name. as they are more
in the nature of guiding fgure-start
with $1,000 exemption for everybody,
then $4,000 for a married man and
$500 for each dependent child or rela-
tive whom he or she supports.
Then there is normal tax Of per
cent on the next $4,000 Of income and
A tax of 3 per cent on the next 81 .oo1
and the tax of per cent applies on
all income above that sum. Thus an
unmarried man would pay per
cent normal tax on all income above
$4,000. while A married man without
dependents would pay the per cent
tax if his income were s9,500. and no
surtax would be payable until the in
comes of an additional $4,000 We're
reached. An unmarried man earning
$50, 900 a year would, if he had no
legal deductions of any kind for in
terest or taxes or other expenses recog-
nlZed DN law, pay no SuFtaS, puI Some
where in the incomes between 5000
and $4,000 a year the new surtaxes
would begin to be applied.
Then, if the rates are increased at
per cent for every 81 200 or there
abouts of additional incomes. an idea
can he obtained of approximately the
benefit of the new plan. In some in
stances this will mean total reduc-
tion of nearly so per cent in taxes
paid. as compared with the present

Smaller Incomes Aided.

1t is worth noting that the present
law gave relatively little reduction to
the taxpayers whose incomes aggre
gated $4,000 or more and that the
largest benefits We're applied on in
comes below that figure.
The Government revenues now are
in such condition that substantial re-
ductions can he granted as to incomes
a high As S150.o00.
There is good deal of reasoning be-
hind this proposal, for it is based on
the fact that Congress rejected the 25
per cent cut recommended by Mr.. Mel
lon two years ago on earned incomes
as differentiated from unearned in
comes Mr.. Mellon argued that a man
or woman whose principal capital IS
brain power should get a 25 per cent
reduction as contrasted with a person
cutting coupons on inherited or other
investments technically known as 'un-
earned income" Congress did not rec
ognize any distinction on smaller in
comes in the latter class because many
widows and orphans were living on IN
vestments made for them by others.
But in the larger classes Congress
failed to give the brain worker any re-
duction.
Now the Treasury realizes such
discrimination is not likely to get
new figures consideration is given to
the brainworkers who represent the
bulk of the incomes up to $150,OoO.
+ There is of course, no small beneht
TO the persons of incomes above
s150.OOO for a surtax rate of 20 per
cent maximum applying to all in
comes above that amount is faf
different thing than the present rate
which runs up to 81 per cent and
makes large jumps to reach incomes
of 100000 and above.
Sees Revenue Increase.
Persons with incomes of 100000
| would pay around $4,000 taxes as
compared with about $4,000 under
the present law. The Treasury thinks
this will reflect itself in increased
revenues, because more money now
will be put in taxable securities and
the Government will actually get in
come that hitherto has come out of
tax-exempt investments. Congress is
in a much friendlier mood TO this
theory based on statistics available
now and not at hand two years ago.
The Treasury rates this time are
much more likely to be approximated
by Congress than in the act Of 1924.

GARDEN CLUBS
HEAR CALL Of
SPRING
Enthusiasm Runs High Among
Members of District
Organizations

Enthusiasm is running high
among the members of the Potc-
mac Garden Club and every bright
sunshiny day brings numerous
telephone calls asking when the
gardens will be ready and how
soon it will be safe to plant
potatoes, peas, beets, radishes and
other early garden crops.
Officers Chosen.
The club held its annual business
meeting about two weeks ago and
elected the following officers: Pres
ident, Honorable Eugene Black,
member Of Congress from Texas:
Secretary Treasurer, Alpheus Sholl,
0SS New York avenue northwest.
Honorable Eugene Black has been
an enthusiastic gardener from the
time the club was organized, and
the members are extremely for
tunate in having so able leader
for the coming year. NJ. Fl. Fear
now, who has efficiently served the
club as secretary-treasurer for the
past five or six years was unable
TO continue the work on account
Of business obligations and Mp.
Sholl, who is a retired government
employee, and has ample time to
look after the work of the club,
was elected in Mr.. Fearnow's place.
''Burnham Barrier" the tract Of
land on the Benning road, which
has been allotted for the use Of
the Potomac Garden Club, was
plowed last fall and il in excellent
shape. Just as soon as there are
q few more drying days, the land
win be narrowed and staked Off
into the regular size gardens OF
about one-tenth Of an acre each.
Already most Of the older gardeners
have claimed their plots of ground
and new ones are asking to DC
admitted.
Boys GARDENS.
The boys gardens conducted last
year under the cooperative direc-
ton of the Civilians Club and the
Juvenile Protective Association, are
being moved to a more convenient
location directly on the Benn1ng
road and will be handled again
this year irf much the s.ame manner
as last year.
This garden CluD Is HlOES d pan
for the making of men,, rather
than gardens. However, some OF
the boys who engaged in the work
last year showed remarkable ability
as gardeners, even though they
were handicapped by the adverse
season and many difficulties in con-
nection with location and working
facilities. This year the one acre
of land devoted to the Citizens Ju-
veniIe Gardens will be surrounded
by a fence and suitable tool house
and shelter are to be erected. one
of the young men in the agr1cul-
turaI department will supervise the
boys at their work one day each
week.
The boys have their own organi-
zation with a president, secretary,
chief of police, superintendent Of
tools and equipment and other OIL
GERS very similar TO those OF we'll
governed town or city.

GLAD|OL| THRIVE
IN VARIED
SOILS
BY Paintings Week Apart Long
Series of Blooms May
Be Assured
Bx EDWARD c. VICK.

The gladiolus may be said to be
everybody's flower. because every
body everywhere can grow 1t sue
cessfully. Gladioli thrive in heavy
soil and do well in light soil.
Wonderful improvement has been
made in recent years in this flower,
which is accountable in a measure
for it's popularity, but ease of flower
ing it successfully has much to do
with it.
BY making paintings at inter.
walls a week apart, a long succession
Of blooms may be obtained. The
flowers have a wide range or beau
tiful colors and shades and last
for long time when cut.
The first planting may be MADE
with the first planting OF potatoes
and the last, about the end OF June
All that gladioli require is good
garden soil, frequent cultivation
and ample water, to insure a profu
sion of N'Hnm.
It is almost impossible to have
too many "glads" as they are IA,
military called by growers and
dealers. The bulbs or corns gre
Gladiol are useful among the an
nuals and pre-ennials and lend color
when planted in borders, among
shrubbery and roses.
Plant the bulbs four inches deep
and somewhat deeper in light soil
and four to eight inches apart In
the rows. The deep planting helps
keep the plants from falling over
at blooming time. In large plant
ings the rows are set far enough
apart to permit wedding and cult
waiting between the rows. In beds,
the bulbs may be set as close as
four inches apart, but this makes
cultivating a little difficult.
In preparing the bed, spade
deeply and pulverize the soil thor
o Aghly in the operation. Use we'll
n tied manure or imported peat
moss in making the bed. The for
mer is not always obtainable; the
latter may be gotten from seedsmen
or nurserymen. Spread the manure
or peat moss over the bed and turn
It under in spading. When the
plants are a few inches high, give
a dressing of high-grade commercial
fe etilizer.

Knows How To Cure
Every Kind Of Ill Of
Lawn Mower

C.. F. Armiger, BOB Thirteenth
street northwest, distributor OF
Ideal Power Lawn Mowers, is a
pioneer in the business of selling
and repairing lawn mowers eX-
clusively. Mr.. Armiger, who has
been in the lawn mower business

driven away, loose sod is pressed
down and dirt, the life of the
grass, is kept tight to the roots.
Years of experience in hand
ling and repairing all types of
lawn mowers have given Mr..
Armiger familiarity with every
make, putting him a position to
take care of repairs of all kinds.
