Income 1MN =.

There's lot Of talk these days the income tax
structure and how affects each individual taxpayer We'd
like to add our opinion.
The federal income tax begins at 20 percent, the low
est taxable incomes From there rises fast until reaches
81 percent in the high brackets
A person might judge from this that people of large
pay most of the tax bill But they don't We learn
from the Monongahea News that eightyfOur percent Of all
income taxes collected from the basic 20 percent rate
and only 6 percent from the suaXes AS Graham Patterson
puts in Town Journal the high actually
destructive of income than productive of revenue.
A survey made by the American Institute of Public
Opinion shows that the public approves of the only
incomes Of the lowest group On higher income groups it is
the opinion of the people that taxes than double
what they should be.
The soak the rich" idea which many congressman
to approve, is not the peoples decision but the poll
cians idea According to Institute poll if the public
year should be $235 instead of the average 1920
he currently pays. The $4,000 year man. if the public
set the rates. would pay only SIPS compared against
$18,294.
People should become educated this income sruc-
ure and make their ideas known their congressman We
think that the structure kills initiative and
persons who could expand their business to decide against
doing
In system Of government there should be pen
aties for the Industrious the persons with the kind Of
zip that made this country leader of the entire world
Give serious thought how this program could
be improved

Fishing Success Is
Same as Last Year

Fishing success in most trout
streams of Maryland on opening
day, Sunday, April Is, was about
the same as last year. 1t took
about three hours to catch each
fish and twice as many fishermen
were out as were out on opening
day last year
The survey was made by the
State Game and Inland Fish COM
mission.
Two areas were chosen for trout
studies by the commission, the six
miles of Big Hunting Creek, in
Frederick county, and ten acre lake
at New Germany. Three thousand
adult brook trout we're fin clipped
and stocked in the creek one week
before April Is, and 1000 marked
rainbow trout went into the New
Germany lake.
In the New Germany lake AZ per-
cent of the 1000 marked rainbow
trout were caught on Sunday.
Seventy-three percent of the fish
crmen were men, five percent wom-
en- and % percent children. Seven
percent of the fishermen on the
lake caught their limit, as against
IA percent in Big Hunting Creek.
The Lake situation apparently
produced the greatest failure in
fish caught, with SO percent un-
successful fishermen as compared
to % percent in the famous fly
stream. Fish catch per man hour
was 03 fish per hour in the New
Germany lake

Sunday Downpour
Causes Anxiety

A doWnpour of rain most of Sun
day brought streams in the Oak
land area to flood stage and there
were many anxious moments
among the business people of town
lest another flood of the business
district occur.
Wilson Creek was filled to ca
pacity and only the arrangement
on Fourth street prevented the
stream from Overlooking Some
heavy planks over the Fourth
street culvert backed up the water
onto the Winters property, cover
ing several acres, but it was
enough.
Fourth street was raised several
feet last fall, allowing for the
emergency reservoir, and this i'm
provement is given complete credit
for saving the town from disaster
The water was just tapping the top
of the roadway when the rain
ceased and the level dropped rapid
Ia after that. The Little YOughio-
gheny river was also filled to over
flowing.
There was further rain Wednes-

er has been clear and fairly warm.
