the coming 61st Annual Conven-
tion of the American Federation
of Labor which will be held in

INCOME TAX HIKE
HITS CONGRGESSMEN

Washington = When Congress
voted for the $1,000, 100000 tax
bill last week they voted a size
able slice of change out of their
own salaries in income taxes.
The average Congressman, ac-
cording to tax experts, will pay
a federal tax of $1166 on his
S1O,OO0-a-year salary under the
new tax bill. Last year the
average was $542, so the legisT
lators actually voted for an add
ed tax of 1924 on themselves.

FINALLY REMEMBERED

PRESIDENT wilson uSeQ TO IlnQ
great pleasure in relating how he
once had his special car side
tracked at Hannibal, Mo-, so that
he might make a quiet pilgrim
age to the monument erected on
the bluffs to Mark Twain. I'm
known to the natives, he asked
one of them if he remembered
Tom Sawyer.
'Never heard of him." the
Missourian made answer.
"Do you recollect Huckleberry
Finn ?" asked the President.
Finn? Finn? ?" unused the ma
tive. "There was a family of
Firms down the road a piece, but
I don't think there was Huck-
leberry among 'em."
"Do you happen to recall Pud-
dinhead Wilson,"
"Oh, yes, sure; l voted for him
twice, sir, he is president, now."
