The date when the law becomes effective is Monday. If you receive more than SI,OOO a year in cash, whether from business. wages or salary, you will have to pay at the rate of one per cent. The only exemptions are to employes of the United States. This, it should be remembered, is not a net income tax. but a tax upon your cash receipts and even though your expenses are greater than your receipts and you lose money, you must pay on the cash you take in during the year. Manufacturers pay one-fourth of one per cent on their total cash business. Every person is permitted to deduct SI,OOO during the year, on which he is not taxed. Thus, if a person s salary is $1,500 a year he will deduct SI,OOO and pay the one per cent on SSOO or $5. Merchants and other business people will pay on their cash receipts, and not what they sell and put on their books. Collections for sale made prior to May Ist will count as gross receipts. The first tax will be payable between July 1 and 15 and will be for the two months sales or income. For this two months $167 will be deducted, or one-sixth of SI,OOO, and the tax paid on the balance. Every wage earner who draws S2O a week or more will have to pay a tax. This applies to county officials, city officials, teachers, doctors, lawyers and everybody pays some taxes, and not only about a third of the people, as in years past. Since the 1927 session of the Assembly, Indiana has been without a law requiring the registration of voters. Ihie tn the activity of the League of Women Voters, a new registration law was passed in the 1933 Assembly. The lawdoes not become effective until next year. Therefore there will be no registration for the special constitutional election June 6. The new law calls for permanent segistratiou. That is, once a voter is

listed on the precinct books he need not register so long as he continues to live in the county. The registration period will start Jan. 15, 1934, and continue until the twentyt ninth day preceding the primaryelection. The second registration period will start May 15 and cos- . itinue until the twenty-ninth day be■lfore the general election. ThereI after the registration period shall I begin Dec. 1 of each even numberbed vear and continue until twentyi . nine days before the primary and II then be resumed on May 15 and ’[continued until twenty-nine days before the election. This law requires that persons be registered to participate in a primary as well as an election. Under the old registration laws, registration was not required for voting in a primarv. —Indianapolis Star. The reduction of passenger fares - on traction lines brings these fares down to the level they started with more than twenty-five years ago. Then it was a cent and a half a mile —70 cents from Newcastle to Indianapolis, or $1.40 round trip. Now the round trip fare will be $1.35 and the one way fare 90 cents. If the traction lines can not make : expenses at these reduced fares it is more than likely that they will have to be abandoned, as the man- ■ agers have tried about everything else in order to increase the bus- : iness. Whether or not people have I become too accustomed to riding i in automobiles to use the traction i lines, even though they can save ’ money, remains to be seen. People ' talk about hard times and being hard up. but forget all about it when it comes to driving an auto-1 mobile. Most men will get out their car and drive it in order to 1 save walking a half mile and for- ! get all about the cost. —Newcastle i Courier-Times. | Two candidates have filed on I each' side of the eighteenth amendj ment repeal, which does not mean that atty one is barred. If others desire to be candidates they can do so by filing a declaration as to their position with the county clerk I and a petition signed bv not less ; than five hundred voters from the county. It is not expected howfever that any others will do so, as ’the candidates now in the field - have the support of the organiza--1 tions. A brave girl from Allen county [has walked over the north part of [ the state the past fortnight trying I to secure proper assistance for her sweetheart, who is charged with the murder of Charles Pyatt of LeGrange county and has confessed. She would be better off if she could forget him. for he has scarcely proven worthy of the love of a good girl. Dr. R. N. Harger, toxicologist at Indiana University says to become intoxicated on 3.2 beer you must drink six twelve-ounce bottles with- , in an hour. That could be done we presume but even then it perhaps | would depend largely upon one’s | capacity both as to quantity and strength of the beveridge, at the particular time he is indulging. Whether you believe the eighteenth amendment should be re- ! pealed or retained is for you to decide but you should plan to vote, fit is important that we have a fair and decided expression on the question. J. Ogden Mills is more interested in politics than he is with results as they effect the people. That’s what was the trouble with his administration as treasurer of the United States. Monday is the last day Tor paying taxes. Don’t let it slip for that’s more expensive and just i adds to the burden. You will be surprised at bow much less they ’ are this year. o— — BARGAINS Bai gain* U> LDma Room. Dining Room Suite*. Mattresses and Rugs. Stuckey and Co. Monroe, our phone number is 44 ct
