WASHINGTON, May B.—ls your total net income less than $68,000 per year? , If so, you stand to save money through the Senate's action in substituting the Simmons tax rates for the much-advertised Mellon rates. If your net annual net income is more than $68,600 the Simmons rates will put a bigger dent In your bank roll than the Mellon schedule. A married man with no dependents and having a net income of $5,000 will save $62.50 per year under the Simmons rates, as compared with the present taxes, while the Mellon bill would have cut his taxes only $43.75. Table Is Given The following comparative table shows the amount of tax reduction from the present law under the Mellon and Simmons plans—married men. GREAT COMPOSERS Wagner a Music King

S“ 4

RICHARD WAGNER This is the fourth of a series of articles on the greatest musical composers of six nations. The story Giustppi Verdi. (Treat I'.a iuu composer, wii; appear in The Times Friday. By ERNEST BLOCH. Noted Composer and Winner of Coolidge Prize, IT* 19. The time in which we Jive is essentially an epoch of tremendous scientific and industrial progress. Economic conditions rule the world. Art has become a luxury, a mere embellishment of life. Such conceptions, however, did not always prevail. The arts played an essential part in the civilization of Egypt, Greece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The outlook on life of their great artists was differ~ri% from ours. And in a more modern period it is impossible to dissociate the music of Bach or Beethoven from the greatress of the men. Thus, too, Richard Wagner is infinitely more than a musician or even an artist. When art is conceived in this way, it is no longer, as in our day, a luxury, a fad, or a cult of personalities. It is rather a storm which s< izes and carries one away, which shakes all men to the bottom of their souls, and wakes them to the greater problems of their common destiny. As always happens after an artist has suffered from unjust non-recog-nition, the partisans of Wagner at one time went too far and tried to make him the only truly great musician, reducing geniuses like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven to mere precursors. During the past twenty-five years musicians, in a natural reaction against the excess, especially of Wugner’a disciples, were led toward a very different art, the art of measure, of “good taste.” But time will show the abyss that separates perfect artists like Debussy—a king in hie very small kingdom—from Titans like Wagner. The message of Wagner will still shine in its pure glory because, being purely human, It is eternal. COULD NOT WALK BECAUSE OF PAIN Bad Caseof Woman's lilness Remedied by Lydia E.

Under Mellon’s rich man's bill, the man with the $5,000,000 income would have saved the tremendous sum of $1,331 .522.50. The Simmons rates, as passed by the Senate in preliminary form, provide for normal taxes of 2 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income; 4 per j cent on the next $4,000 of net income, and 6 per cent normal tax on all net income over SB,OOO. No Surtax Under 510,000 Surtaxes begin at SIO,OOO, income In j excess of SIO,OOO and under $14,000 boI ing assessed 1 par cent on the amount ! over SIO,OOO. From that point surI taxes mount gradually to 40 per cent jon incomes of $500,000 and over, i though only that portion of net incomes over $500,000 are assessed the \ 40 per cent surtax. A feature of the tax bill that still remains to be ironed out is the amount of earned income that will be granted a special 25 per cent reduction. The Democrats insist that only $5,000 shall be granted this special reduction, while Republicans have indorsed a reduction up to SIO,OOO. Democratic opposition to the higher sum grows out of the fact that whereas a man with a SIO,OOO income would save only S9O because of the special leduction, the man with a million dollar income would save over eight times as much, or $747.10. This discrepancy is caused by the provision

BIG EVENTS happen rarely in the cig--1 arette business—yes. But if today you were “behind the scenes,’’ you could sit and watch a thing going on that —in a mild way perhaps — might open any man’s eyes. The Man in the Street,the average smoker, is hardly aware that anything’s happening. He might chance to notice that Smith has changed to another cigarette. Or, sitting with a group, it might occur to him that three or four of theifi have “switched” — quite lately. No —there’B nothing spectacular about it. But when every small brook starts to rise, there’s a big flood in the river—and “flood” is exactly the word to describe thii thing we are talking about. What is it that is happening 1 The thing that is happening is simply that, for months now, an average of over

one thousand men EVERY DAY in this country (1,000 every day—think of it!) are changing from other cigarettes to Chesterfield. • • • Is cigarette taste changing? We don’t know. But we do know that smokers are changing—over 150,000 have changed to Chesterfield since New Y'ear’s Day. Nothing to get excited about, of course; but not a thing quite to ignore either—if you are interested in “what’s what” in smoking. Why are these men changing ? Is it Chesterfield’s exceptional tobaccos, the fortunate blend, the unusual freedom from “sweetening,” or whatr Perhaps you don’t care. Perhaps the only thing you care about is “How do they TASTE f” All right. When it comes to that, Chesterfields—if you give them the chance —will tell their own story (and prove it !)in a far betterway than we can.

Concerning Raper Choir By WALTER D. HICKMAN Many contributions are being made by various organizations of this city during National Music week. I have been to so many concerts and meetings this week that I arrr beginning to feel like a solo (so-low) myself. But In this mad rush from one concert to another I am going to recall with pleasure the concert given on Wednesday night by the Raper Cornmandery Choir at the Masonic Temple. There are several reasons why this concert was a success. George AY’. Kadel, the director, did not attempt to stage a recital of great length. He arranged, a program which would not only present the choir to splendid advantage, but also introduced soloists for the purpose of variety. There is an art in arranging a program. The trouble of so many programs is that too many numbers are included. Not so w T ith Kadel and the choir. This is the first time that I Lave seen Kadel direct. This man has 'worked several years to achieve the position he holds In musical circles. He has great energy, so much so that he found time to aid Raper Commandery to perfect a fine singing organization. . The numbers that I liked best of the choir were “Duna,” “I’m Gwine to Sing in the Heavenly Choir” and “Sunset.” The soloists were Miss Mary Merker and Mrs. Glenn Friermood. Both are talented singers Berta Miller Ruick acompanicd the soloists. Clarence Carson was choir accompanist. Musical Events Today One of the chief events of music week is the concert to be given tonight by the Mendelssohn Choir at Caleb Mills Hall. The soloist at this concert will be

Giuseppe DeLuca of the Metropolitan Opera. This will be the first time that this artist has appeared in this city. On Friday noon, the Police and Firemen's Band will give a concert on the Circle. HUSBAND SOBS OVER GOOD NAME Says He Will Divorce Woman Held for Kidnaping, By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. May 8 AY'ith Cornelia Cordell, ten-months-old baby back in the arms of her motfier, Mary De Marco, confessed kidnaper, sits in a city hall cell today awaiting trial. She is being held without bail. Her husband, Anthony De Marco is being held as a material witness and has been released on SI,OOO bail. During his hearing De Marco broke down and sobbed that his good name was being dragged down by “this woman.” “If I get out of this I am going to get a divorce. What is the use of being married to a woman like this?” With the baby hunt over, police today are trying to decide who is to get the rewards offered for the return of the baby. ' Mrs. De Marco in her confession said she stole the baby to satisfy her husband, who wanted a child. Pastor Hit; Abandoned By United Press CHICAGO, May B.—The Rev. Hans P. Bergh, retired pastor of the Nor-wegian-Swedish M. E. Church at Dwight, 111., was perhaps fatally injured here early today by an automobile. He was left lying in the street while the driver fled. |
