Don't you know Good was Western

the fear was expressed that if the

blow up the campaign in the North

None of that talk was held with me

from Good at President Coolidge's Sum-
mer home in Wisconsin.
Good talked with Drill, Blaine said
about indictments in connection with
the ST. Paul lease, but Drill said he
was not yet familiar with the case.
Blaine also said John S. Pratt, Spe-

INCOME TAX FACTS.

NO. D.
Failure to understand that sec
ton of the revenue act which
relates to the apportionment of
the personal exemption CT per-
sons who were married during
the taxable year has resulted in
numerous errors in income tax
returns, usually to the disadvan-
tage of the taxpayer.
The. act provides that if the
marital status of a taxpayer
changes during the year his per-
sonal exemption shall be deter
mined by apportionment in &C
cordance with the number of
months he was single or married.
The fractional part of month is
disregarded, unless it amounts to
more than half a month, in
which case it is considered a
month.
For example, couple married
on October IA, 1880, may file a
joint return and claim an exemp-
ton of $3,125, which is nine
twelfths of $500, or SLIPS, for
the husband while single, plus
nine-twelfths of $500 for the
wife while single, plus three
twelfthS of the $4,000 for the
period they were married. Should
they file separate returns, each
Is entitled to an exemption of
$1,56250, which is nine-tWeltths
of $500 plus cne-half of three
tWelfths of $500.
In no instance may the total
personal exemption allowed nus
band and wife living together on
the last day of the taxable year
exceed $4,000, irrespective OF
whether separate returns are filed
or not. If. for example, a per-
son married on october IA was
from January l to october IA the
head of family. he or she would
be allowed a total exemption OF
$500, and the other spouse,
though single during that period,
would be allowed no exemption.
The provision relating to APP
portionment of the personal eX-
emption applies also to the head
of family. A taxpayer who on
October IA ceased to be the head
of a family-rthe support in one
household of one or more rela-
tives having been discontinued
is entitled to an exemption of
$4,000, which is nine-twelfthS OF
$4,000 plus three-twelfths of
$500.
With respect to the $500 credit
for a dependent, the taxpayers
status on the last day of the
taxable year determines this
credit. If his support of such
dependent ceased before the end
of the taxable year he is not en-
titled to this credit.

Croker, tea house operator.
Miss Crocker's suggestion, which was
in the form of a motion that was
adopted by the association, was that
Frank G. Campbell, veteran billboard
opponent and member of the league,
prepare for presentation to the board of
county supervision an ordinance elm
mating the hundreds of small direction
signs now to be found along the high
ways Of the county and providing the
boards upon which tea house, real
estate Offices and other business of a
local nature point to their places of
business.
These boards would be placed at
principal intersections and the users
would pay an initial license fee to cover
the cost of erection and an annual tax
for maintenance. If the suggestion is
carried out the boards would be of
artistic design and more on the order
of the historic markers now in use by
the State than as billboards
The association is solidly against
regular Billboard advertising and is
lending every effort toward its elm
ination. but feels that more good than
harm could come from the consolidation

Passes Bill to End Disability

Reed Hints Scandal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
While Veterans Administrator Hines
was advocating the cut in disability
allowances during disqualification as an
incentive to the men to leave the Gov
eminent institutions as soon as they
are cured, the Senate yesterday struck
at employees of the Veterans Bureau
who are drawing compensation as dis
abled men simultaneously with their
salaries from the Government.
1t approved resolution to prohibit
Government employees with salaries of
1000 or more from receiving disability
allowances. The action came after
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl
vania. termed existing conditions a
widespread scandal" and named
long list of men drawing substantial
sums from both sources, including Will
liam Wolff Smith, general counsel of
the bureau, who, he said, is receiving
$4,000 salary and $l87.50 month as
retirement pay.
Lists Local Payees.
other local men that he mentioned,
with their salaries and compensation,
were:

wonder how these salaries sound to
some poor enlisted man who is drawing
compensation of $50 a month and has
no job
Hints Graft in Bureau.
He said there was positive proof the
bureau officials were too liberal in dag
nosing one another'S disabilities.
At the same time. encouragement was
given that Hines request for $4,000 900
for immediate building of 10 new hos
pitfalls would pass. House leaders intend
to act upon it and get the legislation
before the Senate next week. Also there
was good prospect that a compromise
would be worked out by the end of
this week on the many plans for max
ing more money from the adjusted COM
pensation certificates available to World
War veterans Immediately.
Indications today were that some
thing like a $500 000,0 900 appropriation
for making increased loans at low in
terest against the certificates would be
offered.
Hines plan for cutting disability al
lowances involved a so per cent cut
in the maximum allowances, with pro-
vision that in the case of married men
the half taken off would be paid the
families. In no case would the allow
ance go below $40 month.
He admitted the proposal would be
unpopular, but was urged Immediately
to draw up legislation to carry it out:
There was little belief today it stood
any chance of passage at this session.

Seat of Noes Woe

Now, there is no conceivable meth cd by which the justice of qualify ing one man with a score Is strokes worse than another, who is not qualified, can be established. I do not expect to see the 164-person do very much at Beverly, beginning August 31. But he will be there. And Don Moe will not. That is quite wrong.
 The Northwest, with the Noes and the Dolps and Doc Willing and Bon Stein and Hogan and Shields and number of other players I could mention, doubtless could form a 12-man team which would clean a similar team of amateurs from any other section of the United States.
 Why there was not a greater number of good four handicap golf CTS entered along with this brilliant crew is not so much of mystery the good, plain cooking-golfers knew alarmed well they had no chance to qualify, with scores of 80 or worse. Don Moe didn't quail fly with scores of 75 and "A.
 That really is too bad. Naturally something will be done about 1t, before next season. It's just an- other headache for the good old U. s. G. A., doing the best it can.

Just before the recent sectional qualifying tests for the approach ing National amateur golf cham pionship it apeared to me that es- pecially formidable prospects for the Chicago tournament were Phil ip Perkins, Johnny Goodman and Don Moe.
 Moe did not make the grade, and l am surprised and grieved. His ex- perience shows up with an almost shocking clarity weakness in the new sectional system of qualifica- ton.
 Of course it is always wise to suspect a weakness in any new plan or new mechanism. Or any new golf prodigy, for that matter. It takes time and experience and changing situations and circum- stances, to establish sterling worth.
 It didn't take a lot of time, how ever, to show up a sterling fault in the new regional system of qualifi- cation for the National Amateur Championship. That is, it took only one time.

The Method

The number of qualifiers in any one section or district is based on the number of entrants. In this re- cent test, the proportion was ap- proximately one out of three. Twelve entrants, four qualifiers. Fifty entrants, 16 qualifiers. That way.
 The total entry list as compared with 150-the number of players who can be handled properly in the qualifying rounds at the cham pionship course established the proportion I think the require ment for entry was handicap of not worse than four strokes.
