CLAIMANTS AWARDED $636 DAMAGES AGAINST
 CANADIAN PACIFIC

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 5,-Only $636 of the thousands they sought was awarded each of the 228 claim ants to damages against the Cana dian Pacific By. for the loss of $50 lives and valuable cargo in the sinking of the SS. Princess Sophia, in Alaska on Oct. 29, 1918.
 In upholding a lower court, the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals, criticized the statute of linn tations under which it rules, but held that only fare paid by passen- gers and freight charges paid by shippers, could legally be recover ed. ''The law obviously is to the benefit of the commercial opera torS," the court commented.
 The Princess Sophia, heavily loaded, sank in storm. Damages of $4,OOO,OOO were upheld. Of the award, however, only $636 was left after legal fees were ordered paid from the judgment.

local legislation would normally collect
more than the 30 per cent credit, as Is
shown in the accompanying Bureau OF
Efficiency table. The rates in the
District bill are substantially the same
as those in the Federal law, which
would make the local estate tax more
than 80 per cent of the Federal tax.

Increases by U. S. Will Leave

George Brown, storekeeper, and Bill

their Uncle Sam is hardboiled in plan
ming to levy next year an income tax
payment which will surpass that called
for yesterday.
yet they and their fellow taxpayers
in both low and high income brackets
are scheduled under the proposed IN
crease to get only little slap on the
wrist compared with the terrific wallopS
regularly dealth the tax-ooWeo tollers
and landed gentry of Europe.
In the United States married man
with one dependent child and net in
come of 81, 900 pays no Federal income
tax now and would not pay any under
the provisions of the new revenue bill
in Congress.
A citizen of Germany, with the same
income and dependents, pays a tax OF
S215: an Italian pays $2l8; French
man, 1O4 and an Englishman $63.
More Pronounced Levies.
More pronounced is the severity OF
European levies on the middle and high
income classes. For example, the Ger
man with a net income OF $4,000 year
contributes 1899 to his government In
income tax alone. The loyal subject of
King George digs up SIT; the French
man, S104 and an Englishman $63.
The married American with one child
and an income of $4,000, under present
regulations pays 1850 Federal income
tax. If the new revenue bill Is enacted
as drawn, he would pay $3.50. In 1924
an American of the same status paid
$42.5
The residents Of % of the 4s States
are now required to pay State income
tax in addition to the Federal levy. The
State taxes, however, average consider
ably lower than the Federal. Conse-
quently, q person with 5000 income,
living In a State which imposes an in
come tax, probably wouldn't pay total
of $50. That would be only one-four-
teenth Of what an Englishman pays.
Particularly heavy are British levies
on high incomes. A married man with
one child and an income Of $4,000
in Great Britain pays 81 800.
American Rate Lower.
In the United States he now pays
S123. He paid $204 in 1924 and would
pay $154 in 1888 under the new reve-
nue. bill.
The same man with an income Of
$780, pays $4,000 in Great Britain
and $16,245 in this country. In 1924 he
paid $$22 900 and under the new bill he
would pay about $4,000.
This measure grants an exemption
of 81 900 to single men, $4,000 to married
men and $400 for each dependent
Great Britain's exemptions are $485
for single man; $730 for a married
man, S245 for the first dependent child
and $195 for each other child.
For Americans who view with alarm"
the projected boost In income taxes,
Government financial experts cite the
prospect of tax rate reductions and in
creased exemptions such as have been
made heretofore when the Treasury en-
