What Ydis
Here are your taxos undor the
ing included:
first of a series of articles explain-
ing in detail the newlfedersl tax
law.
The new tax law Just passed by
Congress will relieve approximate-
ly 0.860.000 small tax-payers from
income tax. Thousands who paid
small dribieis of 010 and 015 last
year will not be taxed at all this
year. Those with slightly larger in-
comes will find their payments cut
considerably. By so-much. there-
fore. the new law will be goo news
to the poor man as well as to the
rich. .
Taxes of many are reduced bo-
low pro-war levels.
The.surtax. which applies only to
incomes in excess of 010. 000. is no
concern of the present story. It
will deal with the smaller taxpay-
er whose payment represents the
price of a new pair of shoes or a
suit or a dress for his wife. Here is
how the new law works for such a
cltison:
All the tax rates are applied to
net income—that is the amount re-
maining after certain deductions
from gross income. These include
contributions to religious or charit-
able causes. interest payments on
debts..taxes except federal income
tax. losses as a result of rm and
fire not covered by insurance and
bad debts.
Exemption martin-ed. ~
er tho not income is reached.
there still remain the exam
The elimination of two illion
names from the .tax list is chiefly
madaby the increase of the exemp-
tions. Under the old law each single
person was allomd a personal ex-
emption of but 81.000. and soon
married couple. 13500. The new
law makes it 01000 for a single
person and 88500 for a married
couple. in addition. there is the old
exemption. unchanged. allowing
“00 for each child or other de-
pendent.
At the same time that the ox-
emptions are increased. there is a
further concession through the re-
duction of rates. On the first “000
income after the deduction of. e‘x-
emotions and credits, the old law
collected 2 per cent tax.»
The new collects 1 1-! per cent.
On'the next "000 of inoomethe
rate is cut from 4 percent. to» 1
per cent. On all incomes above this.
5 Per cent.
for "earned income" is the some as
before. Earned income may be de-
fined roughly as that derived from
one's own efforts. rather than the
“lazy income" from investments or
proprietary interests.
After the tax is figured..a credit
or rebate of 16 per cent. is allowed
for the earned income. Every
income of 85000
considered as earned. and re-
ceives this 20 per cent. credit. The
maximum which can be proved as
earned income now is increased
from 810.000 to 810.000. '
What You Have to Pay.
- 'Now. how do all these technical-
sounding clauses apply? Here i. a
married man without children with
annual salary of “500. He has paid
out $500 interest on the mortgage
on his home and for charitable gifts
leaving “000 net income. He de-
ieft 3500 taxable income. He applies
the rate of 1 1-3 per cent. to that
and gets 87. 50. deducts 25 per cent.
for earned income“ and arrives at
85. 68. This is all he owes for income
tax. Last year it would have been
$23.50. A bachelor with the same
income this year must pay $21.18.
Suppose our married man has
910,000 net, income. Hts exemption
makes that 80500. On the first
“000 he pays 1 1-: per cent. or
800. On the remaini'ng "500, he
pays at the 3 per cent rate. making
an additional 875. total 0185. De-
ducting his 15 per gent. carded
income credit. he figures‘ his in.
comb it: at 8101. 25. 1M year it
would have been 8165. .
The deadline on filing returns is

shortly before the death of Mr.
b‘roob. the stockholders were plan-
ning to reorganize the entire busi-
ness and start on an easier basis.
During the post ow years the com-
pany had been aving "hard sled.
ding" and efforts were being made
to put it on its feet again. Financial
aid was expocttd from Mr. l‘roeb.
Following the death of Mr. Froeb
the estate was somewhat tied up
and no money could be obtained to
push throush the work. and in or-
der to canserve the assets the com-
pany filed the petition yesterday.
The hot company was a Delaware
corporation and W. A. Dreyer was
the chief stoc older. The onlcers
of the comps included: Edwin
T. Jones, prosi ni; W. A. Drcyer.
vice-president and treasurer, and
E. c. Marsh. secretory, all of whom
