These new normal rates, which the Secretary stated would be “more satisfactory”, but which, he added, he furnished only as a base and not as any definite pro- posal, would place a 1 per cent. tax on the first $3,000 of inclome, 2 per cent. on the next $1,000, 3 per cent. on the next $4,000 and 5 per cent. on the remainder. The schedule presented Monday taxed the first $3,000 1 per cent, the second $4,000 3 per cent. and the rest 5 per cent. Under the present law, the first $4,000 is taxed 2 per cent. the next $4,000 4 per cent. and the remaining sum 6 per cent, Under this new schedule, as un der the first, the 25 per cent. ex- emption permitted to taxpayers on earned income up to $10,000 is stricken out of the law. Through the law as it stands, $5,000 of any one’s is considered earned, but it must be proved that ' the remaining $5,000 allowed in cers tain cases is actually earned. a Picked From Our Weekly Card Basket PERSONAL MENTION ABOUT THE MANY COMERS AND GOERS IN THIS LOCALITY Mr. Jacob M.

If owned by the people, the peo- ple will draw the dividends. If owned by a few individuals the div- idends will be paid by them to them selves. In either case thé construc- tion of the bridge will be paid by the motorists who use it. The important question to be de- cided is what is to be done after the people have paid the cost. Is it to be free for traffic thereafter or will it continue to be a toll bridge and tribute collected until the end of time? This is the question and will be decided by the voters of Lan- caster and York counties. The only question that should a- rise in the minds of the voters is— Will it pay?
