YOUR INCOME
TAX
NO.. 2
NJ. Burt Thurman, Internal Rev
enue Collector, Tells Times
Readers About the New
Tax Regulations I'm
These Articles.

1T HE exemptions under the
1 revenue act Of 1926 are $500
1 for single persons and $500
for married persons living together
and heads of families. In addition a
$500 credit Is allowed for each per-
son depending upon and receiving
his chief support from the taxpayer,
II such person Is under IS years of
age, or incapable Of self-support be-
cause mentally or physically defec.
| tive.
The normal tax rate under the
revenue act of 1926 is III per cent
OF the first $4,000 OF net income IN
excess of the personal exemptions,
credits for dependents, etc: 8 per
cent on the next $4,000, and per
cent on the balance. Under the pre-.
ceding act the normal tax rate was
Q per cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemptions and
credits; per cent on tho next $4,000.
and per cent on the remaining net
income.
All net income up to $4,000 IS
considered learned net income" On
this amount the taxpayer is entitled
to a credit Of % per cent of the
amount Of the tax.
For example. a taxpayer unmar-
ried and with no dependents, whose
net income for 1925 was $4,000, would
pay without this reduction a tax Of
$3.50. His actual tax is $39.37.
From his net income Of $4,000 he is
allowed personal exemption Of
$1,000 ; the tax OF IN per cent on
the remaining $4,000 is $3.50. One
fourth of this amount, or $13.13, may
be deducted.
For the purpose Of computing this
credit in no case is the earned net
income considered to be in excess
of $4,000. Under the revenue act
Of 1924 the earned net increase was
considered not to be in excess of
SIC, 900.
The term earned net income" is
defined as wages, salaries, profess
sional fees and other amounts re-
ceived for personal services actually
rendered"

All was lovely until they reached
Greenfield. Then, according TO her
version, the party got rough. She
was pushed out OF the speeding
roadster and landed in the road on
her face. The awfully nice-look-
ing young man and the peachy-
looking roadster sped back to In
dianapolis without her. She was
picked up by passing motorists and
brought TO city hospital.

probably it won't deter other girls
from accepting similar invitations

TRACTION LINE
SHOWS A PROFIT

THE Interstate Public Service
Company, supplying light,
gas and water TO number
oil noosier communities as we'll as
operating a traction line between
Indianapolis and Louisville-en-
joyed in 1925 one Of the most pros
porous years in the company's
history, according to the financial
report submitted to the annual
stockholders meeting in Indian
apolis, Monday.
Even the traction lined showed a
profit, something entirely out of the
ordinary for Indiana electric inter
urbans. Most of them the past
year have operated on red ink.
There's something for traction
magnates to think about. The line
to Louisville is equipped with all
the travel frills and luxuries-
sleeping cars, buffet.parlor cars,
most modern steel equipment and
fast schedules. And in the midst
of general traction gloom 1t makes
money.
Speed and comfort are what
the passengers want whether they
travel by railroad. interurban, bus
or in a hearse. A transportation
agency that supplies it's customer
with speed and comfort at a rea.s-
enable charge will be patronized
by the travelling public. That's
what people want and they are
willing to pay for 1t.
We would respectfully refer the
experience Of the Interstate Com
pany to the Indianapolis Street
Railway and other electric lines
that, with dingy cars and obsolete
equipment, bewail bus competition
and decreasing patronage. Paint
pots, vacuum cleaners, and up-to-
date equipment will do more to
resuscltate such lines than rate
boosts and friendly public service
commissions.

Theodore Dresser, in his first novel
since 1915, makes the murder of
girl by Clyde Grifflths the great
American tragedy.
And he calls his two-volume. three
book edition Of this tragedy AN
American Tragedy"
In two other reviews 1 have been
concerned with the first book and
half of the second book.
Today we are concerned with the
last half of the second book and the
entire third book. We consider muir
der not as a fine art but the mis-
guided reason Of Clyde Grifflths in
removing from this world a girl. a
factory girl, who he had wronged
in sex and moral way.
He becomes a cad, q coward and

alone basks miles off in the smiles
and embraces of Sondra, q society
girl of rather wild habits, but she
refused to become a part Of an sex

Dreiser's genius rests in the fact
that he develops Clyde as a muir

he could be discovered. He forgot
there might be such q thing as con-
science. He forgot that the law
makes it a duty for prosecutors to
hunt out murderers.

And so Clyde deceived himself in
thinking that the removal of his vic

Grif1ths and all the other characters

Clyde is not a lovable murderer
because he was such a little fool in
his~own makeup. He refused to pay
the price only until the State de-
manded it.
He wasj a weakling and a coward
and yet his evil weakness as his
strength. No reader can SYM athize

chance and he became a murderer
