A Blessed Relief
u. S. Taxes Quadrupled
For $4,000 a Year Man

Tax experts have figured out
how a man with a wife and one
child, earning $4,000 a year in
come will probably pay as much
as 1910 in taxes to the Federal
Government, under the new law.
Last years taxes for such a
man were STA. However, the
new proposals call for increased
taxes on many things, some
frankly called luxurieS. others on
the border line, and many others
generally considered as necessities.
$4,000 Exemption
This is the way the taxes are
computed for a family of three
living on a $4,000 income:
Exemptions on income, $4,000;
income tax on balance, or $3,100,
will be 1924 against the old levy
of $23.63.
Automobile $500, tax $18.
Bumpers and spare tire $50, tax
go cents.
Seven hundred gallons of gaso-
line and 80 gallons of oil for the
year, taxes 81 and $1.20 reSpec-
lively. Tax on tires and tubes,
81.
Fur coat for the wife 5000,
tax $40.
Tax on wort many families

NEW BILL AIDS
j. s. BUILDING
PAY SCALE
Power of Raising or Lowering
Wages Vested in Secretary
of Labor Department

Pay of workers on Federal
construction projects in the
District which has dwindled
in the last few months to only
a fraction of former wages, is
expected to be reviewed by
passage of the Connery-Met-
calf bill which was adopted
by the House last night.
The bill amends the Bacon
Davis prevailing wage act, which
authorizes the Secretary of Labor
to determine wage scales.
Fixing Before Start
Under the new bill. the Govern
ment would fix rates of pay be-
fore the letting of contracts.
Authority would also be given
the Secretary of Labor to raise or
lower wages during construction
in the event of an increase or de-
crease in the pay scale.
Shou. such action be taken by
the Secretary, the contractor
would be paid more money in the
event of an increase or less If
wages were decreased.
Black Asked Probe
Representative Loring M. Black.
jr. CD of New York, recently
asked that Congress investigate
wages paid in the District that
arc reported to have declined
draStically in recero months.

SENATE BOOSTS
HOUSE ANTE
To DISTRICT
Adds $4,000, 900 for Expenses
in Coming Fiscal Year;
100000 for JobIess

Raising the House ante by
nearly $4,OOO,OO0, the Senate
Appropriations Committee re-
ported to the Senate last
night the District of Columbia
appropriation bill for the next
fiscal year.
The House measure allowed the
District only about $4,000, 900 for
its expenses next year. The Sen
ate committee boosted this sum to
about $43,789, 900 and endeavors
to liberaliZe the bill throughout.
Lump Sum" Raised
Most of the Senate increase,
however, is due to the committee
decision to make the Federal
Treasury's contribution to the
municipal establishment for the
forthcoming fiscal year $3.50, 900.
If enacted, that would supplant
the House limitation of $6,500, 900
With notifications, the Senate
committee retained in the House
bill a prohibition that no funds
appropriated by the bill shall be
used for advertisement and publ,
cation of any order by the Public
Utilities Commission to require
taxicabs operating in the Capital
to restore the "meter system"
Meter System Banned
The Senate bill would bestow
upon the commission additional
regulatory powers over transporta-
ton matters in Washington but
retains the spirit of the House
provision that such powers shall
not include installation of a new
meter taxicab system"
AS forecast, the District bill car
ries authorization of 100000 for
unemployment relief" in Wash
ington for the next year. But this
sum is to be expended only upon
bona fide resident of the Dis
trict in temporary distress. I'm
pliedly, there is not a cent to be
given to a floating population"

3 Cars Crash Near
LambertOn Sunday

A three-car smashup occurred south
of Lamberton Sunday night when
two cars tipped over in the ditch I'D
a third was badly wrecked. No one
was seriously injured. -
The first car was from Worthing-
ton and was driven by a young man
who was not familiar with the roads.
He failed to see the turn and the car
went headlong into the ditch.
Several cars stopped and offered
help. One of the Werner boys had
parked his car near the rear of the
car in the ditch and was waiting TO
help when R. D. Thaden with truck
load of cattle crashed into The Wer-
ner car. Both vehicles went into the
ditch and tipped over.
The truck was taken to Lamberton
where it received repairs. After re-
loading the cattle Monday morning,
the truck continued on it's way to
South st. Paul.

North Redwood Man
Granted Patent on
Hitching Invention

News comes from a Washington
patent lawyer, that Joseph E. Ma
-cholda of North Redwood received a
United States letters patent upon a
hitch for automobile trailers. Asso-
rciated with the Washington attorney
during the prosecution of the case
was Attorney A. c.. Dolliff of Red
wood Falls:
The invention involves a mechan-
ISM that permits trailer to be at
tached to the rear of an automobile,
or permits farm implements to be APP
piled to tractors. The hitch is simple
and sturdy in construction and is
adapted for attachment to the vari-
ous makes of automobiles and tract
-ors. The novelty in the construction
resides in the principle that allows
the pull to be exerted in three differ
~ent points all of which eliminates
shimmying in the vehicle being
drawn.
