$500 Pay Minimum
For U. ). Employees
To Be Asked in House
Increases Provided
For Other Brackets
By Sheridun-C. |. O. Bill

Representative Sheridan, Demo-
crat, of PENNSYLVANIA will Introduce
in the House on Monday a bill to
establish a minimum annual wage
of $500 for Federal workers, he
announced today.
Prepared in cooperation with the
United Federal Workers OF America
&C. I. o. the measure also pro-
vides an increase of $500 for every
Government worker earning less
than $4,000. 1t also would increase
to $4,000 the pay of employees now
receiving from $4,000 to $4,000.
In explaining his bill, Mr.. Sheri-
dan expressed the view that manda-
tory pay increases for Government
employees are needed in view OF the
rapidly rising cost of living.
Many Federal workers are still
earning less than $500, 5000 and
$780," he said. THE cost of living
is soaring. Rents already have be-
come intolerable, particularly IN
Washington, and food prices will
reach menacing heights by fall.
Millions of workers in private in
dustry have received pay raises. I
believe that fixed income Govern
ment employees will suffer serious
hardships unless they also receive
substantial pay increases"
II intend to seek immediate action
on this bill. The morale of the
Federal employees will be greatly
increased by this measure. Low
salary Government workers are now
forced to seek other means of raising
their income"

Taxpayers Club Is Letting Down the Bars
Uncle Sam Welcome 22560oo New Members Who Will Pay
S40,0o0000 Initiation Fee Come Next March IS
BY LUCRECE HUDGINS,

Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
In 1912 Uncle Sam is going to take
the equivalent Of $9703 from every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try. On top of that, State, county
and municipal tax collectors will
take an additional $6962 per person.
That's the way things would be
IF the estimated % billion dollar
tax bill for 1912 counting the new
Federal tax of three and a half
billion and the expected State and
local leVies) were divided equally
among the population.
The Treasury expects the nation
al income next year to be 80 billion
dollars. But before we can begin
jingling this around in our pockets
we're going to have to turn over
about one-quarter of it to the vari-
GUS branches of government.
No Longer So Exclusive.
The Income Taxpayers Club, 9TH
erwise known as the Society of Per-
petual Gripe, will welcome 2,256.-
900 additional members into the
organization next March Is. Con-
gress has considerably reduced ex-
emptions in order to permit these
additional citizens to share the fun.
A slight initiation fee of $40
100000 will be charged these new
members, which is approximately
the price of 100 new super bombers.
Bringing the figures downstairs
where we little fellows can under
stand them, the picture fits to-
gether something like this:
If you are single man or a
career girl earning $40 a week you
now pay Uncle Sam a mere seven
and a half cents a week. In 1912
you'll have to cut al cents out of
the budget pie every week and serve
it to the Government.
Taxes As A Budget Item.
II you are married man with no
dependents, earning $40 a week,
you never before had to worry
about income taxes. But your day
has come, oldtimer. In 1912, every
week you'll have to set aside for the
Federal tax collector 81 cents, or
enough money to keep you in cigar
cites.
If you are married. have two
dependents. and net $50 a week,
you, too, are a newcomer to the
Income Taxpayers Club and your
fee will be SLIP a week.
You may think it would be nice
TO have a million dollar annual
income, but at s19.230 week you
would have to kick back S14098 to
the Federal collectors. which is 1888
more a week than this year.
And you might shed a tear for
the multimillionaire If he has a
net income of s96,153 a week he
will hand over s75,444 of it to the
United States Government.
One Feeble Ray.
This being the situation. the
peoples representatives have a
pretty good idea of just how black
things are going to look to Mr..
Average American on the evening
of next March IA when he gets to
foOllng around Win a scratch pad.
So the gentlemen on Capitol Hill
got a lot of Government account
ants to do the paper work, the de-
ducting and crediting and exempt
ing. so that all the taxpayer who
earns less than S3,00l will have to
do next March Is is look up one
figure on a simplified chart and
send in a check for same.
This process is known as sugar
coating the tax pill, meaning that
you don't know what's hit you until
after you've swallowed the medi-
cine.

YELLOWSTONE WONDERS

In 1872 Congress set apart 3,575
square miles of land, mostly in northwest
ern Wyoming, since known as Yellowstone
National Park, in order to preserve for pos
terity one of the most wonderful groups of
natural phenomena in the world.
The park is situated on mountainous
plateau from six to eight thousand feet
above sea level, with many high peaks of
volcanic origin, but now extinct There are
several lakes, the largest being gY elbow
stone Lake, about 10 by 20 miles in extent
and lying T,741 feet above sea level. The
falls and canyon of the Yellowstone River
are among the most spectacular and beauti-
full to be found anywhere.
OF paramount interest to many are the
geysers, about 100 in number-more than
exist in all the rest of the world. Most of
these spout water and steam, others spout
thick mud. Excelsior geyser is the largest,
flowing 1000 gallons of boiling water a
minute and throwing great column of
water and steam 100 to $50 feet high at ir-
regular intervals. Old Faithful geyser dis
charges column $50 feet high every Ga
to 65 minutes amounting to million and a
half gallons at each eruption.
Good roads and modern conveniences
for the comfort and pleasure of visitors are
to be found in the park, which annually at
tracts great number of tourists. Hunting
is forbidden, but fishing is permitted. The
park is one of the greatest wild bird and
animal preserves in the world
1t was with excellent foresight that
this wonderful region was dedicated to
public use by Congress as the first of our
national parks, of which there are
now %.
