British Incomes
Have NoCeilil g
Tax Rate of 97lz Per C 1t
Operates to Limit
Spendable Sum.

LONDON.-Although there is no
arbitrary ceiling on net income, in
Great Britain, the tax rate runs up
to 9TH per cent, which makes it X
tremely difficult under wartime %
nsTnic conditions for any indivi, al
to have a spendable income of m re
than $4,000. :
To attain that large a net met ne
after taxes, q Britisher must 81 SIS
81, zoe, 900 year. Individual incc ne
figures are not published in 2 e.
land, but tax experts believe SD o.
900 represents about the highest n
dividual income in the country.
On such an income an individ al
would pay an income and surta, of
81, ITO, 900, leaving him with a I.et.
spendable income of $50, 900. She I'D
he succeed in increasing his gn Is.
however, there would be no ceT np
on the amount he could keep for lis
own use. But the rate at which his
net increase accrued would, be (1ly
2l2 cents out of each additional oil
lar he was able to earn.
No Capital Gains Tax.
Certain categories of income
which are taxable in the .Unt,ed
States are not taxable here. or
example, England imposes no pi-
tai gains tax on those who m Ike
money occasionally by selling sto ks
at profit, but neither can lossea in
such ventures be deducted. An in
dividual regularly engaged in play
ing the stock market as his bSsic
vocation, however, must pay tax at
regular rates on such gains md
is permitted to deduct his cap sal
losses.
Money won on horse or dog "a es
or in lotteries also is exempt Fl IN
tax on the theory that windfalls re
not properly classified as earnists.
The British tax structure calls tor
so per cent basic income tax.
Among permissible deductions in
figuring taxable incomes are:
Allowances of $500 for a sirssle
| person; $500 for married coulAe;
5000 for each child or dependent
10 per cent of earned income, With
a maximum of $500; life insurance
premiums up to a point where the
premiums paid exceed one-sjsth
Of the gross income or equal the let
taxable income; premiums on de.
ferred annuities on the same basis
as life insurance premiums.
Surtax Begins at $4,000.
Surtax is payable on all income
above $4,000, at the rate of 10 BEL
cent on the sixth, seventh and eighth
thousand, rising gradually to Is PEI
cent on the 10th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and
oath thousand, and to 4717 per cent
on all income above $4,000.
The maximum combined income
tax and surtax rate is therefore an
per cent. A taxpayer thus has an
cents for himself out of each dol
lar of income above $50, 900. 5l
Out of his resultant net incGne
after taxes, he pays heavy indi ect
taxes on almost everything he / lr.
chases or uses, such as $3.50 am Ia
tax on an automobile Of the DO sel
Of American models, Is cents or ar
imperial gallon of gasoline, n >re
than So on bottle Of Scotch, s III
on a $4.25 orchestra seat in a u ca
ter and 66 2-3 per cent on luxury
| products.

Characterized as entirely harm

mails" the mouse-colored whale
shark is, at the same time, the larg-
est of all fish. When full grown, it
reaches lengths of so feet or morel
Even when harpooned, it does not
attempt to attack, but merely tries
to swim away from its captors or
dive into deeper water. Its jaws
are huge, but its teeth are micro
scopicany tiny. The monster feeds
sa minute animal life, since it could
not possibly swallow a large fish.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-UP0
Filibustering southern Democrats,
opposing legislation to abolish state
poll taxes as requirement for vot-
ing in federal elections, forced the
Senate today TO postpone further
consideration of the measure while
minor bills were taken up.
A triple play by Senators Tom
Conally, Democrat, Texas: T'heo-
dore B. Bilbo, Democrat, Mississip-
pi. and Richard B. Russell. Demo-
crat. Georgia, begged the Senate in
consideration of the measure while
tine calendar "ld promised a long
day CT time-conSuming quorum
calls. three of which were demand
cd in the first half-hour.
After routine introduction OF
bills at noon Senate Democratic
Leader Alben w. Barkley of Ken
tucky asked unanimous consent to
diSperse with calling the calendar
of all pending bills.
Conally objected. Barkley then
asked that since the 70 bills on
the calendar-67 of which precedc
the poll tax bill in priority-had
to be called, consideration begin

major stand in Tunisia despite the
heavy odds against extended resis-
tance.
The reports of the big naval clash
circulated by Axis Sources-said
that Italian fleet units had gone
into action for the first time against
the Angle American war armada
assembled to cover the Allied Afri-
can offensive The Italians were
said to have been stiffened by Nazi
naval units presumably Subma-
rines and possibly light motor tor
pedo boats.
There have been persistent re-
ports of naval encounters off the
Algerian coast for a week but no
large battles have been confirmed.
TROOPS CROSS BORDER
On land the British and Amer.
lean troops under Lieut.. Gen. Ken
meth A. N. Anderson, were across
the Tunisian frontier and elements
possibly an armored advance
guard-clashed with Nazi troops,
apparently around the key airdrome
in the Bizerte area.
Bizerte and it's air bases was the
immediate objective CT the Allied
drive.
Anderson estimated that the Ger
mans had 10000 troops on the
ground for stand around Bizerte
French forces already had been en-
gagged in scattered fighting with the
NaZis for two days and the Allied
columns were pressing ahead at full
speed to come to their assistance.
ROMMEL IN TUNISIA?
To the east the British Eighth
Army was believed to be past Rena

treating Afrika Korps. Marshal En-
win Rommel's main segments were
reported in the Ell Aghelia region
where he may attempt stand.
Some rumors said that Rommel
himself had gone to TuniSia to di-
rect the Axis stand.
An any event London observers
were convinced that Hitler was 60

sistance in Iripolitania and Tu-

Christmas Lights
Out for Duration,
T. ofC Announces
WPB Request to Save
Electricity Received
By Civic Agency Here

Ell Centro's famed outdoor
Christmas lighting was add
ed to the ever increasing list
of war victims Monday.
In a special request from
the War Production Board, the ma
tion's residents were asked to dis
pense with the glittering spectacle
of the Yuletide season.
The request, which more or less
amounts to an order, was received
Monday morning from the WPB
from Chamber of Commerce Secre-
tary Ben Herring.
With the acknowledgement of the
request by city officials comes a
disseminating of the annual COM
petition for prizes given by the city
for the most decorative displays OF
lighting effects in yards of private
homes here.
The WPB asked that all outdoor
decorations be done without this
year, and probably for the dura-
ton, because of the drain on critical
materials, labor and electricity nee
essary for their installation and
maintenance.
Outdoor decorations are not in
line with the general conservation
order" the requeSt related.
Outdoor lighting uses an average
of $4,000 kilowatt hours of electric
ity in the Christmas season in the
nation, the WPB said BY eliminat-
ing it enough electricity can be saw
cd to furnish a city of $4,000 inhab-
itants with its power requirements

threatened other buildings in the
neighborhood.
Bottled goods in the liquor eStab-

sparks shoWered the area for two
blocks around, building fronts crash

Firemen fought valiantly, Chief
Stewart finally calling on Ell Centre
