NEW TARIFF LAW WILL MAKE MANY RATE REDUCTIONS

Synopsis of Measure on Which Special Session of Congress Has Been Working. MARKED CHANGES IN THE AVERAGE DUTIES ? 5 . Democrats Confident That the Country Will Be Benefited by the Alterations, and That Business Will Remain Unaffected —Ad Valorem Rate in the Bill Is From 27 to 29 Per Cent., in Payne-Aldrich Bill They Are 40.12 Per Cent. Washington.—The Democratic tariff revision bill, first on the program of reforms mapped out when President Wilson came into office, advanced to its last congressional stage when it was brought baclf to the house from the joint conference Committee with the unanimous indorsement of the Democratic conferees. The measure, of course, has both its friends and enemies. According to the administration, it carries out four of the party promises. Tariff reform, reduction in the high cost of living, campaign against the trusts, in that duties have been taken off of many trust made article, and the income tax. The measure, consequently, has a larger importance than that of a mere tariff reform bill, and its effect must be widespread, both on business and Industry, and also in connection w-ith politics. Democratic leaders are confident that business will suffer no untoward effect; that consumers will be benefited. Changes in the Rates. The bUI imposes an average ad valorem rate of from 27 to 29 per cent. The average for* the present Aldrich law is 40.12 per cent. The Average for the Wilson-Gorman act was 39.45 per cent. Duties generally have been reduced on all of the articles that enter into the necessaries of life, including the products of the farm as well as manufactured products. Trust made products in many cases have been transferred to the free list or the duties at present imposed have been substantially reduced. The income tax feature of the bill is expected to net some $83,000,000. It will call for a tax on net incomes of unmarried persons of $3,000 and upwards and on net incomes of married persons living together, where the wife or husband is dependent, of $4,000 and upwards. Expert?.’ estimates indicate a surplus of $16,000,000 over all expendthe end of the present fiscal year. A rate of 40 per cent, is imposed on stockings and half‘ hose valued at

Queer Tricks of Memory. In later life Emerson’s memory played him some strange tricks. James Cabot, his biographer, says that he met him one day in the streets of Boston, apparently at loss for something, and asked him where he was going. “To dipe,” said Emerson, “with an old and very dear friend. I know where she lives, but I hope you won’t ask me her name.” Then he went on to describe her as “the mother of the wife of the young man—the tall man—who speaks so well." and so

not more than 70 cents a dozen pairs. For stockings between 70 and $1.20 a dozen pairs a duty of 40 per cent, was agreed upon. The conferees eliminated the provision inserted by the senate denying entry into the American market of goods manufactured by children under 14 years of age. The final agreement provided that any person employed to collect the income tax may be utilized by the secretary of the treasury in the general service of the internal revenue bureau. Larger Customs Revenues. “The customs revenues will be larger for the current year, 1914,’’ Senator Simmons said, “because the rates of the Payne-Aldrich law have been for the force quarter, and will continue in force on wool and woolen goods until January 1, and on sugar until March 1. When the next fiscal year begins, July 1, 1914, all the rates of the new law will be in operation and the tariff duties collected will be smaller. The income tax which is collected for the calendar year can be collected for only ten months of the present year, as the law specified that collection shall not go back of March 1, 1913. The estimated decrease in the total expenditures of the government for 1914, $5,000,000, is based on the fact that smaller expenditures are expected for the army and navy estimates.” The balance of the total estimates, as given in the treasury estimates, is made up of postal receipts, internal revenue receipts, the profits from public land sales, and other sources of federal income. Agricultural Products and Provisions. Cattle, sheep and other domestic animals suitable for use aS food, wheat and wheat products and eggs, have been transferred to the free list. Reductions have been made on oats, butter, beets, frozen eggs,’ peas, greenhouse stock, zante currants, chocolate and cocoa sweetened and extracts of meats from the rates provided by the house. The rates have been increased over those provided by the house on broken rice, fish packed in oil and ground spices. A rate of 20 per cent, ad valorem is placed on ground spices in addition to the specific rate provided by the house on unground. The senate receded from' the reduced rate placed on flaxseed and its amendment placing a duty on bananas. The house classification on lemons and other citrus fruits is accepted. Papers and Books. The house rates have been reduced on common paper, box, boards, papers partly covered with metal leaf or gelatine and plain basic papers for albumenizing for photographic printing. The rates provided by the house for surface-coated papers suitable for covering boxes has been increased from 35 to 40 per cent. The senate amendments plaoang specific rates graduated according to thickness and size have been agreed to with several reductions in the rates provided. The rates agreed to are approximately equivalent to the ad valorem rates provided in the house bill. A specific rate has been placed on lithographic views of scenes and buildings located in the United States instead of the advalorem rate provided by the house. This amendment results in an increase in the rate of duty. Cotton Manufactures. The senate classification of cotton cloth, according to the average num-

on, until Cabot guessed to whom he was referring. Emerson was often at a loss for the names of common objects. Once, when he wanted au umbrella, he said, “I can’t tell its name, but I can tell its history. Strangers take it away.” This failing led to a pathetic scene at Longfellow’s funeral. After gazing long at the face of his lifelong friend, as he lay in his coffin, Emerson said to a bystander, “That gentleman was a sweet, beautiful soul; but I have entirely forgotten his name."

ber of the yarns contained therein, was accepted, instead of the house provision for the highest number. This slightly decreases the rate of seme fancy weaves and novelty cloth, but on the greater bulk of cotton cloth the rate is not affected. The rates on bleached and dyed colored yarns are Increased and on cotton yarns and cloth made of yarn, from numbers 79 to 99. The rates on handkerchiefs or mufflers, not hemmed, have been deduced from 30 per cent., as provided by the house, to 25 per cent. MANY WILL PAY INCOME TAX Estimated That 450,000 Persona Are Affected, and That $82,298,000 Will Be Raised. INCOME TAX SCHEDULE. $3,000 to $20,000.... 1 per cent $20,000 to $50,000 2 per cent $50,000 to $75,000 3 per cent $75,000 to SIOO,OOO 4 per cent SIOO,OOO to $250,000 5 per cent $250,000 to $500,000.......6 per cent More than $500,000 7 per cent Washington.—According to estimates completed by the treasury experts, 425,000 American citizens must keep such accurate account of their incomes this year that they will be able to report to the Income tax collector next spring exactly how much they owe the government under the new income tax law. So far as the taxable American is concerned, the income tax law is now practically in force against him. While the tariff law in which the law is embodied will not be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made to the internal revenue collectors before March 1, 1914. But when the returns are made they will cover the income of citizens from March 1, 1913, to December 31, and the first payment of tax will be for money received during this period. Every single person (citizen or foreign resident) whose annual income exceeds $3,000, and every married person with an income above $4,000, is expected to report his or her receipts in detail to the government agents March 1 of each year. To Produce $82,000,000. The estimate completed indicates that the income tax will produce $82,298,000 from the 425,000 persons taxed. To this will be added the $35,000,000 or more produced by the present corporation tax, which is continued as part of the law. President Wilson, the federal judges of the Supreme court now holding office and employes “of a state or any political subdivision thereof,” are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The president and judges now in office were made exempt to escape any questions of the constitutionality of the law, and their successors in office will be compelled to pay the tax. First Burden Is on Citizen. The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months, as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report his income is punishable by a fine. It is admitted that when first returns are made many taxable persons probably will escape payments, but with each year the government’s lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete. Methods of Collecting Tax. Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law. One is that the individual return made by the citizen; the other the returns by corporations and other employers who pay their employes’ taxes “at the source.” Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess of the $3,000 figures, and will pay the taxes for its employes and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes. This “payment at the source” will apply to salaries, rents, interests, royalties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and persons receiving such incomes must be prepared to show that the money has paid its tax at its source. In figuring up his net income for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3,000 for himself, qr $4,000, if married, will have the right to claim the following additional exemptions: Necessary expense of carrying on business, not including personal, living or family expenses. Interest paid out of indebtedness. National, state, county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses, or storm or fire losses, not covered by insurance. Worthless debts charged off during the year. A reasonable allowance for the depreciation of property. Dividends from companies whose incomes have already been taxed.

Interest from state, municipal u government bonds. Must be Entire “Net Income.** It Is e clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his entire “net income,” and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax, as finally agreed upon, follows: From $3,000 to $20,000, 1 per cent.; from $20,000 to $50,000, 2 per cent.; from $50,000 to $75,000, 3 per cent.; from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO, 4 percent.; SIOO,OOO to $250,000, 5 per cent,; $250,000 to $500,000, 6 per cent.; above $500,000, 7 per cent. A single man with an^income of $25,000, for example, would pay 1 per cent on $17,000 and 2 per cent on SSOO, a total tax of $270. If married, the first tax of 1 per cent, would apply to only $16,000 of the income. Ready to Answer Questions. The treasury department is prepar ing for a flood of questions about ths new income tax, realizing that thi> feature of the tariff bill about to be come law strikes more intimately at the tax paying citizen than do the indirect taxes collected through the customs duties. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who drew the income tax provision of the tariff bill which will soon become law, made public a detailed explanation of the tax plan as it will touch the individual citizen. “The treasury regulations soon to be prepared will make clear to every taxpayer the requirements of the law and its application to income derived from the various kinds of business,” Mr. Hull said. “Any person who keeps familiar with his business affairs, dur ing the year should have no difficulty in executing his tax return. How Tax Is Divided. “The income tax is divided into two phases, the ’normal’ tax of one per cent, on the whole income above $3,000, and the additional tax that begins with an extra one per cent, above $20,000 and is graduated to six per cent, above $500,000. Wherever the income tax is paid ‘at the source’ by a corporation for its employes or in similar cases, only the one per cent, nor mal tax is so paid. “The individual has to pay any aditional tax himself. The provisions of the law requiring the tax to b« withheld at the source does not take effect until November 1, 1913. “For the first year the citizen will make return to the local internal revenue collector before March 1, 1914, as to his earnings from March 1, 1913, to the end of this year. The collector will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid by June ?0. After next yeto the tax will apply on the full calendar year. “If the income of a per soil is under $3,000, or if the tax upon same is withheld for payment at the source, or if the same is to be paid elsewhere in the United States, affidavit may be made to such fact and thereupon no return will be required. Covers Incomes of All Citizens. “The tax covers all incomes of citizens of the United States, whether living here or abroad; those of foreign ers living in the United States, and the net incomes from property owned or business carried on in the United States by persons living abroad. “The net income includes all income from salaries or any compensation for personal services; incomes from trades, professions, business, or commerce; from sales or dealings in personal property or real estate; from interest, rent, dividends from securities; for all business carried on for gain. “Bequests will not be considered income, nor will life insurance paid to a beneficiary or returned to the insured person as a ‘paid up’ or ‘surrendered policy’ be taxable. Interest on such property will be included as income, however. “The amount that may be deducted from a total income includes the cost of carrying on business, actual losses, depreciation allowances, and tax exempt or tax paid money. Living expenses cannot be deducted, nor can money spent for permanent improvements to property. Forms to Be Ready Soon. “The form that is to be filled out by the taxpayer will be drawn up soon by the commissioner of internal revenue. The taxpayer will have to give his gross revenue and then specify and claim the deductions to which he feels entitled. “Unless a man’s income tax is ‘paid at the source’ h,e must hunt up a tax blank, fill it out, and see that it finds its way to the proper federal official in his district before March 1, 1914. “Firms, corporations, and the like having the handling of interest, rents, salaries, or other portions of the income of any citizen are compelled to deduct the tax for the individual and pay it to the government. The individual then will receive a receipt showing he has paid his tax.”

On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford.

This plan is 31 feet 6 inches by 36 feet in size and is built on the square order, severely plain in design and general treatment. Instead of crowding in as many rooms as possible, they are made larger than is customary at the present time; but it gives to the house an air of old-fashioned comfort that is quite luxurious. Luxury means in many cases something that is difficult to secure. Since the advance in prices of labor, wages of skilled mechanics, prices of hardware and most building materials the tendency has been to build smaller houses and smaller rooms. Probably the after maintenance has as much to do with the general trend towards smaller houses as any other consideration, because it is almost impossible to obtain help of the right kind to keep a large house in order after you get it. Then the extra cost of heating a large house is a serious objection to some people; but the improvements In hot-air furnaces and in hot-water and steam heaters have gone a long way to reduce cost in this respect. The shape of the house also has a great deal to d<? with the cost of heating. A house built after this design Is very compact. There are no side rooms to carry the heat to at a disadvantage; so with a modern heater in the basement this house may be kept comfortable for less money than the heating of a much smaller house would have cost ten or fifteen years ago. These are the days of large living rooms. People have found that at least one room in the house should be as large, as light, and as airy as It is possible to make it. Across the front of this house, 14 by 35 feet inside measurement, is practically one great room with a fireplace-in one end and with plenty of large windows that are in keeping with the general character of the house. This large living room is intended to be one of the main decorative tea-

w. il Mr -: i t tl a i

tures, the furnishings of which will require a great deal of studying and planning to bring out all its splendid possibilities. Such rooms nowadays are seldom or never carpeted. The floor is hard wood with a finish that shows the grain to advantage. The floor is nice enough to leave without any covering whatever; but no one likes a bare floor because of the noise and from the further fact that no room has a properly furnished appearance ; unless the floor has been carefully provided with rugs that harmonize with the wall and ceiling decorations. There is a good deal in proportioning rugs to the size of the room. This large living room should have two rugs large enough to reduce the outside margin to about ten inches. The space between the rugs in the center should be about the same, but this space directly in the center of the archway should be filled in with another rug to avoid stepping on the polished floor. It needs this little rug for looks and it needs it to prevent a bad epot by wearing away the floor polish. The rugs, wall paper and curtains must of course harmonize in colors. Turkish rugs are quite fashionable, and the genuine Turkish rug is a prize, but they have their disadvantages. Most of them are too soft to keep their place on the floor, and if the floor is highly polished they are so slippery as to be positively unsafe, especially for old people. A flrst-class machine-made American rug is good enough for any room If it corresponds with the surroundings. The dining room offers another splendid opportunity for decorative ability. The room is well calculated to show furniture to advantage. It is 12 feet 6 inches by 16 feet in size and there are no projections or corners ,to interfere with the proper placing of handsome dining-room decorations. Another feature of this house that’ Is well worth consideration is the pantry. It is seldom you get such a pantry in any • house. The extension of the back porch to Inclose one end of the pantry has been taken advantage of to lay out an arrangement that will appeal to most women. It Is large enough to hold considerable china and the eink so conveniently situated is a great satisfaction at dish-washing time. I often wonder why sinks are not demanded nearer to the shelves where dishes are kept. If you watch a woman doing up the work after meal

time you will notice that she is constantly walking back and forth between the dining table, the sink and the pantry shelves and the china cupboard. This combination pantry is a sort of cross between the modern store room pantry and an old-fashioned butler’s pantry. There are other interesting features about this house indicated by the plans, such as the combination stairway going up from the kitchen and from the front room, the hall coat closet and the convenient cellarway with shelves for jelly glasses and other storage, all of which require a house about this size If you expect to work them all in. You can have some of the modern improvements in a small house. If you want them all you must build larger. HAS NOVEL SUMMER PASTIME English Actor Finds Profit and Amusement In Ridding Farmers of Pest of Moles. A curious way of spending a holiday has been invented by a wellknown actor and his wife. They are in Radnorshire, Wales, and they are obtaining amusement and profit by hunting moles with the object of obtaining a moleskin coat for the lady. The actor in question is Stewart Quartermayne. who in private life 'is W. F. James. Mr. and Mrs. James have already killed 400 moles. It was during a visit to a friend at Builth Wells that they began their curious hobby of mole catching. They undertook during their stay to destroy all the moles on their friend’s land. So successful were they that their fame spread among the local farmers and land-owners, who asked them to extend their operations. Mr. James decided to accept such invitations, at any rate until he had procured enough skins to make a long coat for his wife. A newspaper correspondent recently accompanied them to their hunting ground, where thirty traps had been laid. Fifteen moles had all been killed instantaneously in their little tunnels. Then came the work of resetting the traps in the center of a line of molehills. A spring trap was placed between the two openings of the tunnel after carefully rubbing the

trap and openings with a dead mole. This was done for two reasons—first, because the mole would instantly smell human hands and would avoid the trap; and, secondly, because moles are great fighters. When the master of a tunnel smells what he takes to be an intruder he rushes off instantly to do battle, but actually meets sudden death. Mr. James said it would be quite easy to make at least $lO a week bycatching moles for skins, which can be sold at from five to ten cents each. He now has 400 of the 600 required to make a coat for his wife. —Baltimore Sun. What Impressed Him in New York.

REALLY OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE Young Man Painfully Disillusioned When He Realized the Age of His Charmer. A small theatrical company touring the provincial towns had as juvenile leading lady an actress who delighted the audiences everywhere. She was so bright and fresh and girlish that the male portion of the audiences promptly fell in love with her. One evening a youthful admirer sought out the manager of the company, a finelooking, bearded man, and proceeded to fish for an introduction to the charming little lady. He had, he said, enjoyed her acting so much. “It must be very pleasant to know her,” he suggested. “I expect you who see her so often are very fond of her?" “Well, yes,” admitted the manager. “Yes, I suppose I am rather fond ol her.” “Perhaps you’ve known her for some time?” suggested the admirer. ' “Yes, quite a long time,” agreed the manager. “But it can’t be so very long,” protested the other; “she’s little more than a girl.” Then a horrid suspicion occurred to him. “You —you’re not her husband, are you?” he faltered. “No, oh, no!” said the manager. “I’m her son!” JUDGE CURED, HEART TROUBLE.

The following method is describee as one which is almost certain to wbc slumber with success. On going tc bed you assume a comfortable atti tude in which every muscle is relaxed, but not the attitude in which you are accustomed to go to sleep, though something resembling it. Every move ment, coughing, yawning, are strictly repressed, especially the desire tc turnover. The same.attitude is main tained without change, constantly re sisting the longing to move or tun over. As a rule, by the end of 15 or 2C minutes of this persistent maintenance of the same attitude you wil find yourself growing very drowsy and then, just as the desire to tun over becomes absolutely uncontroll able, you turn with the least possi ble 'effort, and assume the position in which you habitually go to sleej and natural sleep follows at once This method, it is claimed, seldon fails and should be given a thorough trial, at,least before resorting to » drug to bring sleep.
