No charge for publishing pictures, news stories, or announcements. a—editorial *-* n-.-e ,-L — I INCOME TAX REFORM A number of proposals for placing ceilings oh individual and corporate income tax rates have been made in late years. Same of jhese are phrased in general terms and say ohly that the maximum rate shall be 25 per cent, 50 per cent, or some other percentage, Others are highly detailed- and offer complete plans for the relief of taxpayers. An unusually interesting example of (he latter is found in an actual bill which has been introduced by Representative Antoni Sadlak of Connecticut, a member of (he powerful House Ways and Means Committee which writes (he tax law's. Mr. Sadlak, to use his own words, is “convinced that achievement of a moderate schedule of income tax rates is necessary' to (he continued vitality and growth of our nation's economy, and to (he maximum advances in the standard of living of all our citizens. His bill would bring about major reform in the income tax struckure —and, perhaps of even greater importance, it would compel the big federal spending programs to compete against regularly scheduled income tax reductions. The bill would project the reductions for each income bracket dver a five year period-. Provision ds made, in the discretion of the„ President and Congress, for postponements of not more than a year at a time should an unbalalnced budget and deficit financing threat, en. Thus the rate reductions c ould he spread over nine years. Income tax payers at every financial level would be benefited. The bottom rate, which applies to (he first $2,000 of net income—would be reduced from 20 percent to 15 percent. Then gradual reductions would be made in the progressive rates so (hat, at (he end of the period, the peak rate would toe 42 percent, as against the present 91 percent. Here are some specific examples of total reductions: In the $4-6 000 bracket, the tax would drop from 26 to 17 percent; in the SB-10,000 bracket, from 34 to 19 percent; in (he S2O-22,000 bracket, from 56 to 25 percent. In the case of corporations, the normal tax would be cut from the current 30 to 22 percent on (he first $25,000 of income, and (he surtax from 22 to 20 percent. Thus, the combined top rate would drop from (he presept 52 to 42 percent. Where, under this proposal, would the government get (he money it needs to operate? Mr. Sadlak has the answer to (tat—and it will come as a surprise to many of us. He points out (hat under existing tax rates, (he budget revenues Os the federal government have Shown a net gain of more than \

sll billion in ohly tup years between fiscal 1955 and fiscal 1957. He adds: “Some of this gain re* fleets the impact of inflation on revenues, but the fliajot part ttf it has resulted from economic growth Based on 1956 ifli66#ft6 Ji@ then says, it would take alt annual ; revefiue growth of only about $3 billion a year to .accomplish.(htj scheduled rate reductions without net revenue loss to (he government. That growth is • well below what most economists forecast. Mr. Sadlak makes another interesting point—nearty 60 percent of the total savings to individual taxpayers under his bill would fall in (he taxable income brackets up to $6,000. Only 6.3 percent of (he savings would go to those' In (he brackets above $50,090. Thus, his proposal would be partially effective in relieving”.. .(the tax impact on new and small business, selfemployed professional people, and the whole range of middle income families." - New Parsonage.,, (Continued from Front Page) and labor, discounts from suppliers and sale of the old parsonage, bring the actual cost far below this figure, it is stated. The Ingrahams expect to move ih at (he end of next week then they leave July 14, for their first return visit to Manteca, Calif., where both have relatives. They will be back by Aug. 10 and expect to have an open house to show (he parsonage to the public around the first of September when carpeting, draperies and furniture are installed. IN TWO SECTIONS An unusual feature of (he parsonage is (hat it not only has a large size family* room opening into the dining area and kitchen, but a large living room, and a study for (he pastor- which are in a part of (he house (hat can be shut off from the family part by a sliding door. “Television will go in the family room, and w'e can have conversation in (he living room,” the pastor states. Entering the limestone entrance, thru a modern door in natural wood flanked by fluted glass full length panel to let in light, visitors enter a wide hall with the study opening immediately off to the left and the living room ahead, showing a view thru a giant sized picture window'. Farther to the left in this section of (he house are a large master bedroom, and two Other fairly large bedrooms, all with double closets furnished with sliding doors. The bathroom is a dream come true for the father of three daughters (Joann, 14, Evelyn, 10, and Ruth, 7) as well as a son, (iDaniel- 8). There is a double sink in the first compartment of the • Dgthroom, which may be cut off completely from (he bathing and toilet area beyond. There is a half-bath in (he family side of (he house with shower and a utility room and garage. Closets and built-in cabinets are found everywhere. The family room, which is floored with tile for easy upkeep, has a raised fireplace of btiff brick and the entire fireplace wall is finished in driftwood, the same color as (he custom kitchen. A “DREAM-KITCHEN” The kitchen, which is spacious, has a wide breakfast bar and is from the showroom at Mutchler Bros., a “dream” kitchen with everything a housewife could wish. There is a stainless steel double sink, electric stove, built-in, wall ! oven and broiler, garbage disposal and Mr. Miller is installing one of his new ductless hoods over the stove. Mr. and Mrs. U. J. Shivley, of Shivley’s Hardware- selected and donated the beautiful modern brass door handles and other hardware thruout the house. The church will (furnish (he carpeting ■ for (he living room and hall and draperies for the picture windows. Rev. Ingraham spoke with much 1 admiration of the beauty of" the woodwork and closet doors, saying that we take such fine woods of or ; granted here in Indiana but that ! they cost a fortune and are rare 1 in California. PRESERVE WOOD BEAUTY Russell Gonser, assisted by Merle Stouder, have charge of all painting in (he home, and they have preserved the fine grain and beauty of (he wood by natural finish thruout. All walls are painted, except for one wall of the kitchen which will have a gay patterned wallpaper. Howard S. Pletcher of Goshen was (he architect, who drew up (he plans from sketches made by Mr. Miller and (he late Harrison Hossler. These plans were the last thing Mr. Hossier worked 1 on be- ■ Lli t 1...- - ■■■

In the morning, however, he found the animal curled up in a ball and still alive. Anxious to get rid of it he hit it with an axe but again delayed burial. The following morning he went to view the animal and it looked him straight in the eye. He then gave up, put the possum in a sack, took it into the country and set it free.
