FEDERAL TAX
REDUCTIONS CONTINUE
Additional $1,000 Exemption Allow
ed Married Men

Washington, d. C.-The tax re-
duction bill will be ready for Con
gress when it convenes on Decem-
ber 7th, unless some unforeseen ac-
cident occurs. The vital provisions
Of the bill have been decided upon
The present plan carries a reduc-
tion of the inheritance tax from
maximum Of forty to twenty per
cent. There is a repeal of the gift
tax. The present corporation and
capital stock taxes are retained.
There is an exemption increase at
tanned of from ten to twenty thou
sand dollars, making the latter the
maximum amount of income on
which a twenty-five per cent deduc-
tion for learned income" is appli-
cable.
Another provision of the bill pro-
vides for the elimination of dupi-
cation. This is carried out in the
proposal that smaller corporations
rs partners. There is also pro-
vision in the bill which is being
studied by the subcommittee that
would permit partnerships to file as
corporations.
SO far the changes in revenue re-
venue reduction to the amount of
about two hundred million dollars
annually are provided in the pres
ent makeup of the measure. 1t is
thought that at least one hundred
thousand dollars more can be taken
off in different excise and special
taxes. These are to be considered
by the committee during the present
week.
1t is proposed to give an exemp-
tion of 81 300 to single men, an in
crease of $500, and exemption to
married men Of S3,500 instead of the
present rate of S2,500. The normal
tax rate proposed is one and one
half per cent instead of the two
per cent under the present law on
the first four thousand dollars, and
three per cent instead of four on
the next four thousand dollars. On
the balance it will be five instead of
six. The allowance for dependents
will undoubtedly be fixed ut $i00,
the present rate, while the maxi
The Lambertville record., 1925-11-26

mum surtax is to be figured at
twenty per cent.
In raising the amount considered
as learned income" from ten thou
sand to twenty thousand dollars it
will be seen that the small business
man will be materially relieved. The
new rates on income taxes, if adopt
ed into law in their present form,
will remove about one million tax
payers from the rolls.
Another move is a slash of one
hundred and sixty million dollars
from the nations auto and excise
taxes. If this is done it will, how
ever, run up the total reduction of
the bill to about three hundred and
fifty million dollars, which is fifty
million dollars more than Secretary
Mellon considered as safe figure.
1t is generally conceded that there
will be little opposition to this mea-
sure in the House of Representa-
tives, although there is more than
a chance that minority thoughts, if
not reports, will make their ap-
pearance on the floor of the House.
Just what will be done to it in the
Senate is something that the most
astute political prophets do not de-
sire to forecast.

SESQUI TOURISTS WILL
VISIT FRANKLIN'S GRAVE.
SHRINE OF PATRIOTISM
Impressive Ceremonies in Old Church
Yard in Celebration Program
of Exposition

Impressive ceremonies at the grave
of Benjamin Franklin are included
in the program of celebrations to
be held during the Sesquicenten-
NAL International Exposition, Phila-
delphia. Nationally famed orators
will speak on this memorable occas-
ion.
The remains of the statesman,
scientist and philosopher who played
so important part in bringing
about the Declaration of Indepen-
dence of which he was one of the
signers, lie in Christ Church burying
ground at Fifth and Arch Streets,
one of the busiest sections of Phila-
delphia, and only two blocks away
from Independence Hall.
This shrine of patriotism will be
visited by millions of visitors to
the Exposition.
Standing in front of the gymna-
SUM of the University of Pennsyl-
vania is statue of Benjamin Frank
lin, picturing him on his arrival in
Philadelphia with his earthly pos
sessions tied in handkerchief, slung
over his shoulder. As he was only
II years of age at this time, Phila-
delphia claims him as her own, and
with deepest gratitude acknowledge
es his many valuable services to
city and nation.
Founder of University
Franklin is we'll called the Found

projected the college which later be-
came the University of Pennsylvania,
now famed throughout the world as
an institution of learning.
The Pennsylvania Hospital, found

work of mercy through all the years
and ranks with the foremost hospi-
tails of the country.
Franklin also founded the still in
fluential American Philosophical So
ciety and made plans for the first
public library. The reading public
of the present day has reason to
thank him for our well-equipped Ii
braries which bring knowledge with

survived many Winters in their cellar
This Is just beginning to blossom and
will be in full bloom before the end
of the month. Then, all through the
cool September evenings 1t will fill
the yard and surrounding yards with
an intensely rich fragrance, probably
the richest of all Towering plants. The

FJust before dark it becomes a mass OF
tiny white petals. These, however, are
practically odorless until the sun has
gone below the horizon. On a moon

completely dark, the flood of fragrance
reaches its greatest height. A pluck

hardly be able to stay in the room
because of the intense, sickishly sweet
odor.
Another tub plant in which the
Voigts take great pride is the old

This now is rare in American homes.
