The traditional March Is solace
offered to Americans who grouse
over income taxes should be more
consoling than ever this year.
Our so-called English cousins, who
always have carried a much heavier
income tax load, are now hit even
harder. The British government has
boosted the standard tax rate from
IS to 37.5 per cent and has re-
duced exemptions.
It's the little fellow in this coun-
try who gets off easy-or doesn't
pay any income tax at all-com-
pared with the British.
An English married couple with
a wage income of $4,000 a year pays
tax of $246. An American couple
with an earned income of $1,000
$500 more than the English couple
pays 80 cents.
The small wage Garner in Eng
land is socked in two ways: Only
very low income is exempt and
the beginning tax rate is high, 1875
per cent compared with 4 per cent
here. Britain's 375 per cent takes
effect on taxable income above $64O
while our peer cent is standard
in all income brackets.
British personal exemptions are
$400 income to q single person,
$3.50 to a married couple and 5000
for each dependent child; United
States exemptions are 81 900 for
single person, $2,500 for a married
couple and $500 for each dependent.
Here's a striking example of how
a middle class American family
profits by these exemptions while
its British counterpart hands over
a big chunk:
j. English Smith, with a wife and
three children and earning $4,000 in
year, pays a tax of $646. Henry
American Brown, with the same
sized family and identical earnings,
dosen't pay any Federal income
tax.
1t works this way for the Browns:
The $500 head of family exemp-
ton, plus $1,000 for the three chill
dren, plus an earned income credit
of $4OO-10 per cent of $4,OO0-pro-
vides total deductions of $4,1OO.
Even with the State income tax
to pay, the Browns are sitting pretty
compared with the J. English
Smiths. If they live in New York
State, which has a comparatively
high income levy, their tax would
be only $6. And that's assuming
they have no special allowable de-
ductions.
The disparity between the two
countries is not so great in the very
high income brackets, although the
big boys" in Britain get sitter
wallops. An English bachelor with
an investment income of $500 600 a
year must give some 1868 900 of it
to his government. A single Ameri-
can with an equivalent income from
investment pays $528 ,240.

RooseyeIt's Feeling
For All Humankind
Praised by Otto
Supply Of information
Makes Deep impression
On Austriun Archduke

Archduke Otto Of Hapsburg said
yesterday he had found in President
Roosevelt "a very intimate feeling
for all humankind"
The 27-year-old pretender to the

brother, Archduke Felix, was q
White House guest for tea Fri
day, refused to reveal whether the
call was purely social or included
discussion of the archdukes pro-
posed Danubian Federation.
He said, however. the Presidents
personality was bigger than I
awaited It" that in everything the
President says he reveals himself
''as a man who wants good for it.
SELF" and that Mrs. Roosevelt was
charming person.
Praises His Wide knowledge.
It was the Presidents supply OF
information that made the deepest
impression on the young archduke.
Il would like to find something he
didn't know" he declared. Mrs.
Roosevelt, too, has a wide knowledge
of all things"
The brothers found the informal
ity at the White House absolutely
as we awaited It," but were amazed
at the smallness Of the presiden-
tial mansion.
Ambassador to France William c.
Bullitt, who presented the brothers
to the President, later took them on
q tour of some of the rooms.
IN Europe" said Archduke Felix,
I'VE think OF the White House as
being very large. But it's so very
small and think that is good"
Old friends of Mr.. Bullitt, the
brothers agreed that he was really
q marvellous Ambassador"
Discusses Senate Tribute.
Discussing the rising tribute they
were accorded in the Senate FRI
day, Archduke Otto said he felt it
was meant not so much for them
"but for the nations oppressed by
Germany who still fight and suffer
and die for the same cause of de-
mocracy."
