WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-If you
are an unmarried person without
dependents, and earn upward of $40
week, vou probably will pay an
income tax to Uncle Sam this year
even if you paid none last year
Twenty dollars a week is s1,O40
q year, gross Since the personal
exemption allowed single persons
this year is only 81 1000 having been
reduced from $500 last year, this
SOFA week man must make out a
return and pay a tax on that $40
above $1,000. unless he has .other
deductions, SUCH as those Tor taxes
or contributions, which bring his
net income below the $1,000 mark.
The $40, if taxable, of course,
would be assessed at the lowest
rate, 4 per cent, or SLIGO The
same rate applies to taxable in
come up TO $4,000, when the rate
rises to per cent.
Exemption Is Lowered
Last year this $1,O4O man
would have paid no tax at all,
since $1,000 was exempt. If he
had paid, it would have been at
rates beginning at IL per cent,
and not rising to per cent until
$4,000 was reached.
To show this difference, let's
take the case of an unmarried per-
son with no dependents and as
sumo he got last years Is per
cent earned income credit" as
most small incomes we're in the
learned income" class.

DEvALUED DOLLAR
Seen AS REMEDY
Farm Editor Says Action Would
Give U. s. Whip Hand in
World Economy

st. Paul, jan. ls-R)-Henry A.
Wallace. editor Of Wallace's Farmer.
Des MONIES, Ia, Thursday suggested
controlled initiation by increasing the
price Of gold as the solution to the
present economic distress.
In . talk before the Farmers and
Homemakers' short course at Univer-
sity Farm he urged devaluation Of tho
American dollar. to be followed by .
monetary conference among repre-
sentatives Of the United States, Eng
land, France, and Germany to discuss
money problems. tariffs, debt. and cur
rency and tonnage quotas.
"Devaluing tho dollar" said Mr..
Wallace. would at once give up the
whip hand In holding IN internation-
q monetary conference. At the pres
ent time. foreign nations competing
with Us for the markets Of the world
are exceedingly anxious to keep u on
the gold standard"
He said an international bank
which would issue international cur
rency and take care Of the bookkeep-
Ing Of debts and credits In interna-
tional trade might be the outgrowth
Of the economic conference he sug-
gested.
Imitation, he said. q better than any
thought Of deflation BY bankruptcy
and sale Of foreclosed properties, since
the latter plan would In effect make
constructive activity almost impossible
before 1887 or 1883.

HEAR $50 Chinese
. DIE FROM COLD ON
TOP OF MOUNTAIN
Force Surrounded BY Japs Per.
ishes in Trenches, With
Rifles in Hands

Shanghai, Jan. l9.-(F-Three hun
cred eighty Chinese soldiers were re-
ported Thursday found frozen to
death after being besieged for two
weeks by japanese troops on q south
eastern Manchurian mountain top.
The report Of the tragedy, carried
IN Chinese newspapers, turned atten-
ton in the sino-Japanese controver-
sy back to the original theatre Of
war. Activities were renewed in that
area, along the Manchurian coast
south Of Mukden, q month ago.
The reports said japanese scouts
found the dead Chinese soldiers still
clasping their rifles at their posts on
the top Of Mount Takushan, near the
coast between Takushan City and
Siuyen, l25 miles south Of Mukden.
The Chinese were hard-pressed by
Japanese troops and made q final
stand on the mountain, repulsing sew.
eral attacks by the Japanese, the re-
ports said. When the cold weather
set In . few weeks ago there was q
lull In the fighting. The japanese
ceased their attacks and waited. In
the freezing temperatures at the top
of the mountain, the beleaguered
Chinese found q new enemy-the
cold-as deadly Is the japanese
sharpshooters.
When the bodies were found, the
reports said, they were clad In light
weight summer uniforms.
These Chinese were described as
remnants Of the army Of general
Tang Tien-Mei. Wide-sweeping op-
erations by the japanese against this
army were carried on In the past
month In the triangle bounded by the
Mukden-Dairen and matchmaking
railroads and the coast.
Unlike in the other two military
offensives conducted by the Japan
csc In Manchuria in the northwest
and northeast. General Tang's troops
could not flee across the Siberian
border. Siberia was the escape q
month 80 for General Su-Ping Wen
and his army In the northwest and
again last week for General Ii TIL in
the northeast. The Russian policy
OF refusing to accede to japanese de-
mands for their extradition made
those Chinese revolts against the
Manchukuo government comparative
~ less dangerous.
The Japanese themselves were re-
ported trapped in the region south
vt Manchuria during their campaign
against General Tang. Seventeen
japanese were reported slain east Of
Tashikkiao, q Mukden- Dairen railway
station, when 20 OF them were sur
rounded two days by q Chinese force.
The survivors cut their way to safety.
This was only about IS miles from
Mount Takushan. where the Chinese
were surrounded.
It was in this region that Japan
made its first military advance into
Manchuria In September, 1881, pre-
cipitating the league Of nations in
CURRY into the Sino-Japanese quarrel
and arresting the attention Of the
whole world.
Chinese reports said 400 Chinese
were stranded on the mountain. in
cicating that possibly 20 escaped.
