This Govern men t Won't Put
Its Money
In a bank that docs not guarantee it against loss.
Why Should You?
The United States will not deposit a dollar in a
National Bank, on any other bank, unless the bank
furnishes a bond for twice the amount deposited.
The United States Government can at any time
make an investigation of any National Bank and learn
all about its resources. But still the Government de
mands a guarantee for its deposits why shouldn't YOU
have protection.
Your deposits in this bank are protected by the
State Guaranty Law no matter what happens

Income Tax Law
How It Will Work.
The new income tux law is In full
force and effect and we muy as well
understand its provisions uow hs to
wait. The principle of the income tax
has ueenjudvoeated by legislators for
many years but it was never made a
part of our law until the Democrats
came into power last March. In its
broadest interpretation this law puts
the tax on the man who can best af
ford to pay it, that is on the men who
has an Income of thiee thousand doll
ars or more.
The law provides that every person
or corporation with an annual Income
(if three thousand dollars or more must
tile a otrttemeut with the internal re
VL'tiiii' cilice r which must statu the in
come and the source. The til st state,
iiient must be tiled March L. I1H1
which is not very far away. The tax

tax must Ue paid by the :10th of the
Mtnif month: failure to pay within
ten d.iys costs live pel cent, more ittid
an additional one, percent, per month

Tim law provides for u normal lax
of 1 peiceut per annum on thu amount
of net. income over 111,000 for Individ
uals, and over $1,000 for husband nud
wife living together. Tills tux applies
to all tuxablo incomes, small or great
The law also provides for an addition
al yearly tax of 1 percent on the total
amount, of net Income from all sources
over 820,000 and not over ?ot),u00 per
annum; 2 percent on the amount of
net income over S-10,000 and not over
$75,OoO; .'I perceut on the amount of
net income over $".",000 and not over
8100,000; 4 perceut on the amount of
net income over 8100,000; and not over
8250,000; 5 perceut ou the amount of
net income over $2!0,000 and not over
$500,000; and G percent on the amount
by which the total net income exceeds
e.r)0o,ooo.
While for a man and wife living to
gether the first 84,000 of an income is
exempted'from taxation, there is no.
thing in the law freeing such a man
from the requirement of making a re
turn of his income to the collector.
The normal tax of 1 perceut, when an
income is derived from investments,
muy be with hold at the source of In
come und paid to the government, hut
the surtax in nil, instances is to be
paid by the individual.
From a further study of the tax it is
seen that the burden of the tux will
rest heaviest upon tho bondholders,
and furthermore that these persons
who have their fortune invented in
government or like bonds will find
themselves better off, inasmuch as in
come from these will be exempt from
tuxation. Without doubt one of the
flual results, if not an immediate re
sult, of the application of the new tax
will be a shifting in Investments in
this country.
We have had tho corporation tux
for tho past three years, which in the
filial analysis has been borne by the
stockholders. Therefore the income
tax under the new law will uot rest
any heavier on fortunes invested in
stocks than the corporation tax hus
in the past. In tho sale of bonds, how
ever, this is dlirorent. The return
from bonds has not been taxed by the
federal government before, but under
the new law such interests will bo
taxed.
Tho law in addition' inovldes that
the Interest upon obllgnt ions of a state
or any political subdivision thereof
and upon tho obligations of the United
States or its possessions shall bo ex
empt from the tax. It would ho im
possible to accurately estimate how
many fortunes under this clause will
he exempt from tho tax. It Is knowu
thut Hetty Green has larger holdings
of such bonds and her interest there
from will be exempt from the federal
income tax. People of smaller wealth
have their fortunes to invested and
, they will be exempted from taxation.
this provision should also encourage
the malting of such investments
The rank ami file of the taxpayers
under the new law will not have to
trouble with the surtax as that is to
rest upon incomes only abovo 820,(X)0 a
year and the number of such incomes
Is comparatively small Much has
been said about taxing at the source,
huUthls is to play but a small part In
the tax on the income of moderately
salaried men. Men with incomes be
low the 1120,000 mark usually have n
salary and nu auiiual return from u
few investments. Such a man will b
required to tile a statement with the
collector indicating what his not In
come is.

At the first general teachers' meet

published this fall. The book con
tains 188 pages of material for the

Other helps to teachers and pupils,
and a circular giving full information
concerning tho Gold and Silver Medals
offered to children for the best essay
ou tho ''Repair aud Maiutuiiience'bf

And the better it is the more
it costs just like everything
else.
But cut glass Is bought mainly
for its beauty anyway and
you can't get beauty without
paying for it.
But that needn't frighten any
lover of cut glass away from
our store.
To tell you that ours is moder
ately priced, doesn't explain
anything for you,
To tell ypu that we have just
opened a new, clean stock does
not let you know the beauty of
our glass, nor can you appre
ciate the beauty of our new

So we guess you'll just have to
