NEW TAX LAW Southern California taxpayers will save approximately $11,667,000 annually under the reductions in federal taxes provided for by the new revenue bill. In addition to this a reduction of $7,500,000 is allowed on taxes on 1923 income which are payable this year. Radical changes in addition to the flat reduction of 25 per cent on 1923 income, allowed under the new revenue act, were explained by Collector Goodcell in a survey covering the measure. These changes with the exception of the 25 per cent reduction go into effect on 1924 income on which returns must be filed next March. Under the new legislation a personal exemption of $2,500 is allowed all taxpayers. The old act limited the $2,500 exemption to incomes of $5,000 or less, only $2,000 being allowed on incomes in excess of $5,000. The $400 allowance for each dependent is unchanged. Every married couple whose net income is $2,500 or more must file a return. The old bill required returns on net incomes of $2,000. Single persons with net incomes of $1,000 or more must file. Returns must be filed for all incomes of $5,000 or more, regardless of the amount of net income. On earned net incomes of $4,000 or less the new rate will be 2 per cent instead of 4 per cent as heretofore; from $4,000 to $8,000 a 4 per cent rate and 6 per cent on all earned income over $8,000. In addition to this reduction a further deduction of 25 per cent is allowed on all earned income not to exceed $10,000. In other words the salaried or wage-earning man gets the benefit of the 2 per cent rate, which is a 50 per cent reduction and Anaheim is expected to cut considerable ice at the great international convention of Kiwanis to be held in Denver next week. The party going from here consists of 18 persons, ten ladies and gentlemen accompanying the double quartet, which will not only furnish vocal music for the convention but will sing at various points. the notices were mailed out it developed that Mrs. Eleanor Woodford, the widow of Noble C. J. Woodford, for many years a resident of Santa Ana but now deceased, is to give a Recital on that same evening. We as Shriners and in deference to the widow of C. J. Woodford have changed the date On earned net incomes of $4,000 or less the new rate will be 2 per cent instead of 4 per cent as heretofore; from $4,000 to $8,000 a 4 per cent rate and 6 per cent on all earned income over $8,000. In addition to this reduction a further deduction of 25 per cent is allowed on all earned income not to exceed $10,000. In other words the salaried or wage-earning man gets the benefit of the 2 per cent rate, which is a 50 per cent reduction, and a further allowance of 25 per cent giving him an actual tax rate of 1½ per cent. Surtaxes range from 1 per cent on $10,000 incomes up to 40 per cent on incomes of $10,000,000 or more. Tax on admissions of 50 cents or less to the theatres and other places of amusement. Effective thirty days after signing of bill. Tax on all jewelry sold under $30 and on watches of a value of $60 or less. Operative in thirty days. Tax on telephone and telegraph messages.

Manufacturers tax on tires, inner tubes and accessories is reduced from five per cent to 2½ per cent. Effective in thirty days. The cabaret admission tax will be collected on admissions in excess of 50 cents. Collector Goodcell said that the law regarding income taxes from corporations and the capital stock tax regulations remained practically unchanged. "As evidence of the stability of busi-ness conditions in Southern California I will point out just one fact," Collector Goodcell stated. "The Revenue Act of 1921 resulted in a tax reduction of $15,000,000 an- the notices were mailed out it developed that Mrs. Eleanor Woodford, the widow of Noble C. J. Woodford, for many years a resident of Santa Ana but now deceased, is to give a Recital on that same evening. We as Shriners and in deference to the widow of C. J. Woodford have changed the date of this dancing party for Tuesday evening. June 17th to Thursday evening the 19th, because we feel that it will be the wish of many of the Nobility to attend Mrs. Woodford's Recital who is a Finished Dramatic Soprano with a delightful personality. The first notice, mailed to Shrineds throughout the county, read as follows: "Nobles J. P. Greely and Lew H. Wallace extend an invitation to the Nobles and their Ladies of Orange County to an Informal Dancing Party at Balboa Pavilion Tuesday evening, June 17th. Dancing 8:00 P.M. Moonshine, smiles and glistening waters to greet you. If you haven't your 1924 membership card better send the Secretary $1.00 today. If the address on this Post Card is not correct, please notify the Secretary at once. Cover charge $1.00. Wear your fez." The second notice, mailed two days later, reads as follows, and Nobles are requested to read carefully in order that they may not get the dates mixed: "Mrs. Eleanor Wodford... Dramatic Soprano is giving a ecital at Temple Theatre, Santa Ana, Tuesday evening. Mrs. Woodford is the widof of Noble C. J. Woodford, for many years a resident of Santa Ana, who has passed on to that Unseen Temple not made with hands eternal in the Heavens. In deference to Mrs. Woodford the date of the Shrine Club Dancing party has been changed. Let's all go to hear her. Then to Noble Greeley's Pavillon Thursday evening, June 19th, 8:30 P.M." Collector Goodcell said that the law regarding income taxes from corporations and the capital stock tax regulations remained practically unchanged. "As evidence of the stability of business conditions in Southern California I will point out just one fact," Collector Goodcell stated. "The Revenue Act of 1921 resulted in a tax reduction of $15,000,000 annually in Southern California. In the face of this immense reduction the collections of this office for the last calendar year were the greatest in its history. "Business expansion, new industries and all-around prosperity not only offset the $15,000,000 annual reduction but rolled up a substantial increase in the amount of taxes collected." "Taking into account the new annual reduction of $11,000,000, federal taxes in this district will have been reduced $71,000,000 for the four-year period ending with 1925. If the community property decision is made effective $42,000,000 in refunds will be distributed which would give Southern California the benefit of $113,000; 000 in Federal refunds and tax reductions covering a period of four years." SHRINERS CHANGE DATE OF BALBOA DANCE Will be Given Thursday, June 19, instead of Tuesday, June 17. The Orange County Shrine Club made up of members from all parts of Orange County mailed notices to the Nobility of the County informing them of an Informal Dancing party under the auspices of the Shrine Club to be held at Balboa on Tuesday evening, June 17th. The second day after This is an hour for American optimism. Never before in our national history has there been a better basis for confidence and hope among Americans. In an hour of world-wide storm and stress our nation stands, strong and secure as the Rock of Gibraltar. Actually and relatively, national prosperity stands at the highest point in all our history. In all the annals of mankind no nation has ever reached so enviable a position in diffused prosperity, intelligence or opportunity. Nowhere, best of all, has the level of life been so high, the chance for individual advancement so broadly open for the average man or woman as in this republic of ours at this moment. Under the inspiration of the noble traditions of our mighty republic, dedicated from the beginning to the highest national ideals, under the protection of institutions the wisest and most beneficent ever established among men, without fear or envy of other nations, with boundless opportunity in reach of every man and woman, boy and girl possessing the ability and energy and industry to take possession of his birthright as an American citizen, why should we not be a happy and a hopeful people, going forward with courage and confidence to the higher level of life and a wider range of opportunism? But despite these boundless blessings, pessimism is the dominating note in public and private affairs. The air is filled with the lugubrious lamentations of the Jeremiahs and the croakings of the chronic critics. Following the exaltation of the war period and the disillusion of its im- t, leaving Tomorrow for Big Convention at Denver, Colorado on the road. The 18 are A. B. McCord, M. Eugene Durfee, Warren L. Ashleigh, H. W. Lewis, Reginald Taylor, Ed. Rundstrum, L. V. Bonnat and Glen Merrill, members of the double quartet; and Mrs. McCord, Mrs. Durfee, Mrs. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. William T. Wallop, President and Mrs. Roscoe B. Young, Harry Horn, Miss Merrill and Fred Backs. The party will leave here tomorrow morning for Los Angeles, thence to San Francisco. Stops will be made at Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Reno, and possibly Salt Lake. At each stop the double quartet will entertain the natives with stirring songs. gospel of confidence and hopefulness as an antidote for the propaganda of despair and destruction. A genuine four-flusher always has a loud voice. TIME TABLE A. T. & S. F. RR.. In effect February 17, 1924.
