cached.

er of people have urged the mem
ers of the legislature to pass the
'irden bill offered in the House
7hich would raise the exemption on !!
he people of the State and thus :
make it unnecessary for those re-
ewing less than $500 a year, if

Commissioner, who favors the bill ,
by Governor c.. Douglass :
tuck which makes it possible to re-
uce the income tax by rebating a I
ertain proportion. q
