CHANGE IN INCOME TAX URGED FOR LOW-PAY MAN

Comfort for the small-salaried man is provided in a bill introduced in Congress yesterday by Representative Sabath, of Illinois for revision of the income tax section of the war revenue act. It provides that a single man’s personal exemption be fixed at $2,000 or double the amount stipulated under the present law, while a married man, living with and supporting his wife, would be entitled to an exemption of $4,000, instead of half that sum.
