The exemptions under the revenue
act of 1924 are $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married persons
living together, and heads of families.
In addition a $400 credit is allowed
for each person dependent upon and
receiving his chief support from the
taxpayer, if such person is under is
years of age or incapable of self-sup-
port because mentally or physically
defective.
The normal tax rate under the rev.
enue act of 1924 is 2 per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of
the personal exemptions, credit for
dependents, etc., per cent on the
next $4,000, and,6 per cent on the bal
ance. Under the preceding act the
normal tax rate was 4 per cent on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and credits, and per
cent on the remaining net income.
The revenue act of 1924 contains
special provision for reduced taxes
which did not appear in previous laws.
All net income up to $1,000 is consid
cred earned income" On this amount
the taxpayer is entitled to credit
of 25 per cent of the amount of the
tax.
For example, taxpayer, single and
without dependents, may have re-
ceived in 1924 a salary of $4,000 and
from a real estate transaction a profit
of $4,000 His total net income was
$4,000. Without the benefit of the 25
per cent reduction his tax would be
$50. His actual tax is $50. From his
net income of $4,000 he is allowed
personal exemption of $1,000; the tax
of 2 per cent on the first $4,000 is $50,
one-fourth of which, or $40, may be
deducted.
For the purpose of computing this
credit, in no case is the earned net in
come considered to be in excess of
$4,000. A taxpayer may have re-
ceived for the year 1924 net income
from salary of $4,000, but the 25
per cent credit can be applied to only
one-half of this amount.

Fashion Fancies For
Women, 1925
By R. L. Champion

Spring is rushing in with all OF
the new styles so dear to the heart
of woman! And it is a gay, viva
cious, colorful Spring this year.
Never were bright colors so popu-
lar. Designers have been burning
much midnight oil in creating all of
the alluring new styles. Dresses and
coats are decidedly original and diff
ferent. If woman would be stylish,
she must wear high colors.
All of the red shades and all of
the colors suggestive of red, such as
cranberry, henna, russet, caramel, and
brick, are most expressive of the fav-
ored vogue. Of course, the ultra
smart color is Tiger Eyei Small won
der, when it is such a rich, deep, fas-
cinating shade. Perhaps there turks
in this color some appeal to woman
primeval! More probably it is so
popular only because it is so new and
so respondent. Blues, green's, tans,
greys, navy, and black are also shown.
1t is impossible to describe the wide
range Of styles. There is a style for
everyone! Particularly smart are the
svelte, long line dresses which have
no waistlines. These are usually
trimmed elaborately around the bot
tom with fur, embroidery, ruffles,
tucks, or perhaps a faring inset of
plaits. The backs of dresses are most
modish! Throws which hang jaunt-
lily from the neck are good. Flat
crepe and satin canton are the favor
ed materials. -
The feminine world is divided into
two camps on the question of the
length of skirts. Some welcome with
glee the shorter skirts, and the ex-
treme Miss of Fifth avenue in New
York is wearing the skirts just very
few inches below the knee. However,
the average length will be from twelve
to fourteen inches from the floor.
Side panels feature the stylish coat
There are many variations in these
panels. Some are tucked, some
stitched; others are. broken with but
tons. Polaires, fine suede cloths, bo-
livias, and twills seem to be the chosen
materials. Only occasionally is a
light fur trimming used
Of course no costume is complete
without hat! The newest feature in
hats is the high trimming. Perky
bows sit saucily on the tops of hats;
flowers climb all over the crowns; !;
novelty pompoms occupy the highest
part of the crown The Alpine and
the Tyrolian crowns are very smart.
Sprightly colors are shown in hats,
too.
The j. C. Penney company is show
ing these style features in it's advanc-
ed Spring displays.

AndersOn-McMiIlan
Wedding Is Surprise

Cecil T. Anderson and Gertrude NJ.
Mcmillan surprised all their friends
on New Years day by announcing
their marriage which had been per-
formed on the oath day of October,
1924, by the Reverend ]. Bennett at
Williams. The Andersons were quiet
ly married at the parsonage with only
the minister, his wife and daughter
present as witnesses. Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson then returned to Kingman,
and no one here knew of the marriage
until the announcement on January
1st.
Mrs. Anderson, a charming young
lady, is native of Canada and come
to the United States in 1915, enter
ing the high school at Winslow, Ari-
zona, where she was, graduated with
the class of 1920 A year and a half
ago she came to Kingman and ac-
the Arizona Stores.
Mr.. Anderson is an ex-service man,
having served in the navy during the
war. Anderson came here about two
years ago from Saddler, Texas, and
he also accepted work at the Arizona
Stores. At the time of his enlist
ment in the navy, Andy lacked only
two months graduating from the Sad
dler high school, so because of his
war service he was given a diploma
and is afgraduate of the Saddler high
school. Upon his arrival here he
played short stop with the Kingman
baseball team. Last year he was act
ing manager and captain and played
short stop position again.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson plan on re-
manning in Kingman and making this
their home-Mohave County Miner.
Mrs. Anderson is a sister of Mrs.
Frank Riley and Mrs. Fred Wait, both
of Winslow, and is herself well-known

In the realm of blouse fashions the
attention of designers is centered on
tunics and overblouses. The tunic
blouse shows a decided leaning toward
lines that are less straight and severe
than those that have prevailed this
season, and the overblouse is taking
on a little additional length. By
means of slashed seams. godets and
frills at the bottom, the tunic blouse
Is widened below the knees. 1t also
appears with seton panels as in the

a resolution requesting him to COM
municate to 1t such information as he
might deem compatible with the pub
lie interest concerning his interview
with the Confederate commissioners.
A message was sent to the house by
the President summarizing the trans
actions on the steamer. which actually
amounted to nothing.
Several Democrats, who took part
in the discussion, complained of the
President for refusing an armiStice,
while the Republicans retOrted with
Jefferson Davis conditions about the
"two countries" and the more recent
declaration of his Richmond harangue
announcing his readiness to perish for
independence. Both congress and the
country, on the whole, were gratified
that the incident had called out the
Presidents renewed declaration of an
unalterable resolve to maintain the
Union.

Lincoln on His
Last Birthday
Cheerful and Hopeful of
Peace That Would Save
the Union.

The spirit of Abraham Lincoln in
the last days Of his life Is typifed in
a telegram which he sent from the
White House on his last birthday and
Is exemplary of the attitude he took,
not only toward individuals, but to-
ward the peoples and the states who
were opposed in arms to the Union.
The telegram to Major General
Hooker at Cincinnati read:
us 1t Lieut.. Samuel d. Davis whose
death sentence is committed? If not
done, let 1t be done. Is there not an
associate of his also in trouble? Please
answer.
"a. LINCOLN"
Harsh measures were taken in the
closing days of the war as a result of
the military rigors, not only in deal
Ing with the enemy, but in dealing
with those within the forces of the
North who were guilty of deserton,
neglect or treachery. Naturally there
was a great cutlery in the North from
relatives and political friends Of the
men condemned by military courts
Continual pressure was brought to
bear upon the President throughout
the war in this respect, but he left
these matters to the discretion Of the
generals In the field for the most part.
During the weeks preceding and fol-
lowing his birthday, February II, 1865,
he gave special attention to these mat
tiers. In the month of February alone
he sent at least ten kilograms sus-
pending or delaying executions or ask
ing for full reports Of the trials for his
personal examination.
Much Executive Clemency.
The decree of the military courts, in
some cases. he upheld; in others he is
sued pardOns, and it Is said that in at
least one case the man who had been
convicted was in reality a government
secret service agent unknown to the
military authorities, who had convict
ed him for the very acts he committed
in the service of the Union.
Biographers of Lincoln have assert
ed that he felt premonitions of his
death in the months following his sec
ond election, and if this be true it is
possible that the shadow over his soul
may have caused him to be more
clement than was his rule. 1t is agreed
by many that he was always compass
siOnate and slow to condemn, but he
was sensible Of the necessity for stern
justice and was not given to mock
mercy Of the weakened, sentimental
kind.
The Presidents birthday itself had
no significance In 1865. : 1t is doubtful
If many outside his immediate family
realized when the day occurred. In
the last stages Of the Civil war the
nation was too sorely beset by press
ing, vital problems, sorrow and anxi-
ETY. to recognize the birthday of the
man who himself was the vortex Of
all the maelstrom Of political, military
and executive activities. -. .
Lincoln's last birthday, it is known,
saw him more cheerful, more hopeful
'of q peace which would save the Union
than he had been at any other time
during the war. He had met commits
siOners Of the Confederate government
on steamer at Hampton Roads and,
although the interview had led TO
nothing, the President felt that the
ilissensionr evident between the COM
missiOners from the South meant a
speedy conclusion of the war.
