cred to be entirely earned net in- come except when 1t is made up wholly or in part of dividends of domestic corporations. In no case may the earned income exceed $l0,- 900. The term earned Income means wages salaries, professional fees and other amounts received as compensation for personal services actually rendered.
 Thus a person with m earned income of sS.000 (after earned in- come deductions) will pay tax of $I50 (tax of s10 at full rates less 25 per cent earned income deduc- tion); for s4,00O the tax will be $22.50; for s5,O00, $375o; $6.00O, $52.50; sTo00, s75; $S,o0O, $lO5; 5000, slS5. and $l0,000. s165. Compare the taxes for the 1924 in- come with those for 1923 income and you will note the tremendous re- auctions beneflting the pocketbooks of everyone.
 Tt seems to me that the old jokes about making the income tax returns will fall little flat this year For the ordinary salaried in- diyidual, 1t is q comparatively sim pie thing to calculate the income tax. But it's all very well to take about the simplicity of income tax returns but every man in my busl- ness knows that each individual re- port is case in itself. Complica- tons are always arising which call for help and advice. This bank con- adcrs it a part of it's service to help its patrons and friends answer such questions and We shall be glad 10 have everyone call on us for assist ance as they need"
