Japan'- [nccmc Tax lam
Japan having decided upon an [n-'
crease in her navy that involves the
expenditure of $150,000,000. spread
over six years, a general increase of
taxation has been proposed. Ind it will
probably be carried out.
The income tax is to be raised in a];
way to bring an aggregate addition
or 20 per cent. the increase being
graduated so u to be only 10 per
cent upon the smallest Incomes and
50 per cent upon the largest. The
minimum income tax will be $250. ‘
A war profits tax is to be initiated
on both business m and on [n-
comcs. but no personal income of less‘
than $1,500 a year will be taxed on
account of its having risen during ”111-3
war, and in this way the wage: or
working people and moderate salaries
do not have to pay for the wage in-
creases of war time. Higher than
per cent of increase and companies
that have increased profits must pay
‘20 per cent tax upon the increase.
Pershing of French Descent.
Some interesting associations may
easily be woven into a 11ch item tell-
ing about a celebration which recently
took place at Luck-dc, Mo. The town.
one of the oldest in the old South-
Wcst of the United States, was named
after Pierre. ngueste Lllclade, a native
of Plan, France. founder of St. Louis,
Mo. Years ago a man named Pershing,
a descendant of an emigrant who left
Alsace when it was a French province.
settlcd in anlcde.
ent Gen. Joseph Pershing. commander
of the American expeditionary forces
in France, was born there. The cele-
bration referred to was, of course.
in honor of General Pershing. and it
was one of the most enthusiastic ever
held in what used to be an almost
exclusively French section of the
country.
A Seven-Time Wlnncr.
The unlque record of having been
torpedocd-seven times is held by Wil-
liam Jessop, a seatarer of Hull. E08-
land. who is seventy-two years of age.
He is still on the active list. “Young
men," he said. “have sometimes re-
fused to sail with me, as they think
I shall be unlucky. " Jessop [s the old-
est member of the Shlps' Cook and,
Stewards’ union in Hull. and general-
ly sails as a cook or ”award. During:
the first year of the war he manor-1
pedoed three times. and the last four
ships on which he sailed were all lost; 1
ms courage, however, remains midi-l
mlnished. “I"wlll sign onto gently-
