INCOME LEVY

Manufacturers Make Pies
for Smaller Industries
Of City.

Relief from what Is characterized as
hardship worked on small corpora
lions by the provisions of the income
tax law is demanded in a resolution
adopted by the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of San Antonio. A copy of the
resolution, together with an explana-
tory letter, has been forwarded TO
William Z. Green, chairman of the
ways and means committee Of the
House Of Representatives at Washing
ton.
The relief sought is for corporations
representing the smaller units of cap
ital whose earnings are $4,000 or
under annually. For SUCH corpora
tions. it is urged, graduated rate
ought to be applied.
A graduated rate Of 4 to 10 per
cent is suggested, with uniform rate
Of 10 per cent on earnings over 800
600. This is against n uniform rate
of u IL per cent now applying to all
corporations. The credit of $1,000 al
lowed under the present law when the
earnings are under $4,000, does not
furnish adequate relief, the resolution
points out.
The flat or fixed rate applied to
corporations, the resolution holds, ie
in effect a discrimination against
smaller corporations.
1.-The tax which Discriminate
against corporations, particularly the
smaller corporations, the resolution
says, has a tendency to retard indus
try and to diminish production.
In the accompanying letter the
Manufacturers Association cites spe-
cific instances where the working OF
the present law has brought hardship
to small corporations.

EXPERIMENTS
SHOW TWO
CROPS NOW
POSSIBLE
Future Drouths Now Hold
Nc Fears for Growers
of Southwest.

Rain or shine. early or late. South
west Texas is assured Of good crop
every year and two crops in good
years, by the success of Sesar and
Guadalupe county farmers in late
crop experiments this fall.
For there is no such thing as a
crop failure in Southwest Texas long
producing season. according tn the
farmers OF the Schertz community,
where they are raising fine winter
feed and grain crop, which will DC
ready to harvest within month.
Farmers in that section made no
carly crop because Of drouth condi-.
tions. Lack of moisture prevented
the usual rich yield in the early
season.
PLANT LATE CROPS.
But when fall rains started, winter
feed crops and a quantity of corn
were planted.
These crops are already nearing
maturity, under ideal climate and
moisture conditions, putting to rout
old ideas of crop failure in dry years,
which necessarily obtain in other sec
tons of the country where the grow
ing season is shortened by cold
weather.
I'VE get as good weather conditions
here through September and October
as m my other sections of the country
enjoy in August" declared Emil Ger.
ZACH, of Schertz, who was in San An
tonic Monday, visiting J. X. Beretts.
president of the National Bank of
Commerce.
Out in our neighborhood, we fig
ured our growing conditions were just
as bright early in the fall, as they
would have been in the spring. We.
had lost most of our spring crop on
account of unprecedented dry weather.
FEr~ IN GOOD SHAPE.
so a great many of us put in
fall crop, as soon as the rains came.
"The result is that we now are al
most ready to harvest fine winter
feed crop, while our late corn crop
is doing far better even, than we ex-
pected,' Mr.. Gerlach concluded.
Winter forage throughout the South
west is in excellent condition. Recent
rains have coated pastures with lu1uri-
ant foliage and cattle are picking up
weight rapidly, stockmen say.
Farm experts here pointed out Tues
day that the Schertz experiment was
one of the most valuable in the his
tory of agriculture in the Southwest,
as it proved beyond doubt that there
never need be a year of failure for
crops of these hardy varieties.
RAINS ALWAYS COME.
"If we don't get rain in the spring,
we get it in the fall" they point out.
"And if the farmer can make his crop
either season, it means he will al
ways be protected against a winter
feed or grain Shortage"
They also pointed out that this made
possible the growing of two crops dur
ing normal years, when an average
rainfall obtained.

CARE IS NEEDED
IN WINDSOR
QUESTS
Connoiss4ur Points Out Many
Differences in Types
and Periods

In your quest for Windsor
candle stands care should be used
not to confuse the thfee'leg9ed
in the second half Of the eight.
tenth century with the four-legged
Windsor table Of New England,
which is quite a different thing;
The Pennsylvania stands have
the top supported by only three
raking legs. which, in the earliest
moulded examples, prior to- the
Revolution, pierce the top and are
fsx.tailed wedged just al are the
similar legs which pierce the seats
of the Windsor chairs. After thu
advent Of bamboo turnings, the
legs of such stands are let into
the under side Of the top, which
they do. not entirely pierce. In
these, the wedges being omitted,
the legs sometimes get dry ana come
loose, an example not only Of de-
cadent art but Of inferior conStruc-
ton az we'll.
In all cases, the stretchers are
inserted in the legs At different
heights SO as to avoid weakening
early cabinet work. The under side
Of the top il usually found to be
inscribed with a circle passing
through the centers OF the legs,
which were spaced by doubling the
radius of the sextai1t. The upper
side. in early example,, usually en-"
hibitss a beaded edge cut on the
solid, and serving to prevent 4 too
easy slipping of the candlebtick
from the table to floor.
An interesting local Pennsylvania
tradition has it that the early

season; shaved out chair.back spin.
dies from five-eightinch split hick-
ory, made the tops and hung them
up to dry. In the early spring
seats were cut from still wet two
inch gum or poplar. Then the
dry top and leg spinAles would be
driven in and fox-tail wedged. The

thus bound all most firmly to-

was quite different in character
from the square cut mortise and
tenon work OF the eabinet.fnaker
of the period. The fact that tho
two kinds OF workers had 80 littlA
In common lends color to the ira
dition. It is, further, noteworthy
that. in early directories, Windsor
chair makers are listed in 4 differ
ent category from that Of cabinet
makers or OF chair makers in gen.
kraI.
The prototype Of the Windsor
stand may perhaps be found in
the triangular and circular top
stretcher tables of about the year
1900 which are found not only in
Pennsylvania, but throughout New
England as well. The Pennsylvania
stands were mostly Of oak, and
painted blue and white with top
surface beaded and diShed on the
