might go to meet them.
In that event, some observers
fear the japanese legation guard
might be ordered to attack the
Chinese troops from the rear.
Until the Japanese-Chinese quar-
rel started last fall, such move
would have been improbable. Ira
oitionally. the foreign troops in
Peiping act only on the advice of
their respective ministers. Neutral
observers think it unlikely that the
japanese envoy would use his
troops except for their legal pur-
pose of defending the legation
quarter.
Since the military in Toxic
gained control, however, they are
said to have used troops to suit
themselves. Therefore there is some
fear among diplomats in Peiping
lest the commander of the japanese
legation guard send his men out
after the Chinese, despite the min

 Individual rates are increased by the tax bill from one and one -halt percent to two percent for the first $4,000; from three to four percent for the second $4,000, and from five to six percent for the next $6 ,000. Surtax rates would apply to individual net incomes in excess of $10,000.
 A man with a net income in excess of $10,000 and not in excess of $12,000 would pay surtax of one percent of such excess. If his income were $12,000 he would pay a surtax of $20. For an income of $24,000 the surtax would amount to $560.

Ne'o Crop of Taxpayers to Be Raised; Income
 LeUy M I033 to Reach Glasses No,u Eaemp
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

RJ <AAL<AH1NDLN ns NEOhOEt
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March iB. Hundreds of thousands of Amer jeans who have never paid federal income taxes will do their bit next year in helping to pull the govern ment out of the depression deep ened financial hole, if the new tax bill is enacted.
 These new income taxpayeis, who would contribute their mite for the first time on March i5, 1883. would be recruited from the large ranks of the relatively low income class exempted under present regulations from making any payments.
 Seek To Spread Burden
 These increased contributions of the income taxpayers would be only a part of the burden which the framers of the bill have sought to spread equitably among all dtf- ferent classes of citizens.
 Millions of citizens would help carry the load of a sweeping man- ufacturers' sales tax which would more or less affect the price of virtually every important item in the family budget with the excep- tion of food staples.
 Clothing, furniture, gas, cleo tricity, lubrictaing oil, telegrams, radio messages, phone calls. the atre and prize fight tickets, would be subject to sales taxes or special excises.
 Income Tax Exemption Cut
 The new revnue bill, reducing the exemptions for single men from s1 1.5oo to S1 900 and for mar ried men from $3,500 to $2.50o would bring into the income tax paying class single persons with no dependents who have net inee $ ranging from $1 200 to $1 500, and married persons with one depend ent having net incomes from $3,- 800 to $4,000
 For example, John Jones, un- married and with no dependents, does not have to pay any income tax this year if his net income in 1881 was $1 500 or under. If he has the same income this year, he would pay a tax of $625 in 1883; provided of course he did not take to himself wife or other depend ent.
 Jones tax would be computed in this manner. He would be allowed an exemption of $1,00o on his $1 500 net income, bringing it down to $500. He also would receive a credit of twelve and one-half per- cent on the amount of his net earned income which woui' amount to $18750. That deducted

from $500 leaves $312.50 on which he would pay tax of 2 percent next year or $625.
 Henry Smith, married, and with one dependent child, pays no tax this year if his 1881 income was $3,900 or under, because he now has a marriage exemption of $3,500 and $400 deduction for his child, making a total exemption equiva- lent to his entire net income With the $500 income this year. he would pay a tax of $18.25 next year.
 Besides the new taxpayers, those individual incomes which are now tax paying would provide consider ably more money for the govern ment coffers next year because of two major methods of increasing payments provided by the new bill.

Breaks Down Theory that Murray Had Captured
 Agricultural Vote
PRIMARY WARNS COP.
 OF AGRARIAN REVOLT
Majority of Hoover Dele gation Met Defeat in
 Tuesdays Poll
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press. Washingtonl

WASHINGTON, March 18.-The result of last Tuesdays Presidential primary voting in North Dakota, regarded here as significant, has demonstrated two facts.
 It indicates that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, and leading candidate for the Demo- cratic n pm nation for President, commands the rank and file of Western voters. It also gives warn ing to the Republicans of agrarian dissatisfaction in the West with the present administration.
 Gov. Roosevelt's sweep of the Democratic primary in this Vest ern State breaks down the belief that Gov. William H. (Alfalfa Bib Murray, Oklahoma. and Roosevelt's only opponent in the North Da- kota test, had become the idol of distressed agriculture.
 Dissatisfaction with the Hoover Administration was voiced in two ways. First, by the record vote cast in the Democratic primary. The second was even more direct. Two slates were presented to the North Dakota Republicans for ap- proval. One consisted of candi- dates for delegates to the National Convention who were pledged to vote for the renomination of Presi- dent Hoover, and the other of un- instructed delegates. A majority of the Hoover delegates were defeat ed, and the voters voiced their desire to send an uninstructed dele- gation to the Chicago convention next June.
 With the North Dakota delega- tion, Gov. Roosevelt now has 50 delegates definitely pledged to him for the Presidential nomination by his party at it's National Conven- ton, also to be held in Chicago.
