Should this be the case It seems tho easiest way to solve the problem would be for the depositors to work with the officers of the bank to this end. Could they be guaranteed that there would not be a continued run on the bank should It open' Its doors, and an agreement put Into. effect that withdrawals, If . necessary, , would be made In Installments so as to enable .them to. realize on collections, we believe banking operations could be resumed In a very short time. Our suggestion would be that any de positor . with less than . I20O could draw It at any time, or perhaps ISO per month; others be curtailed to 10 per cont a month (or more of It was thought advisable) which would en able .those who have deposits and are not working to at least draw this agreed amount toward living expenses and release that amount of cash for community business. , .A. drastlo curtailment of loans would keep tho genoral checking ac counts always adequate. This reduc tion In the revenues of the bank could be met by a tax on chocks until con ditions' .became, normal. .. Should the bank remain closed or be placed In the hands of a receiver the depositors and others, will .no doubt sustain a heavier loss through salaries paid, ad ditional expense of collection and re mittances than would be entailed through a tax of this nature. To successfully reopen the First National It Is obvious that a change In officials will be necessary to get the entire community behind It. To ef fect this change every depositor should be consulted through allow ance to vote at least on the president' and vlco president of tho Institution. A ballot could bo proparcd and mailed to every depositor containing a list able to fill this position, and whoever I was selected could become a stock-1 ago for a Democratic . ticket.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT . ; , Several days ago we discussed the significance of the pro ; posed personal income tax law amendment bill which appear! : on the ballot for the decision of the ypiers next .month, and recommended its passage because at, places ,tne tax purden upon tnose who have actual incomes and benefits the. owner vof property which is not at present Producinp: any income "As explained, before, , the new income tax schedule would : oroaaen the base of taxation by reducing the exemptions and would increase the rates on the incomes above ?5,000, ; Some people are opposinrr the bill, believinsr that the reduc- ; tion of exemptions would cause too severe taxation of smaller ; incomes, and that the higher rates, on larger, incomes would i amount to confiscation and would therefore discourage the investment of capital in this, state. , , , , ..., , , . ., , A few actual cases will gem to, illuatrate 'just how fhe new Under the present schedule the first $1500 df'a siiiir e tier ; son's income is exempt from tax.,, Beyond that he pays a tax pf 1 per. cent on the first, thousand. 2 per cent on the second thousand, ft per cent on the third .thousand,, 4 per cent on the fourth thousand, and 5 'per cent on all above that. So a single person with a net income of $2,000 pays a tax of ; x per cent on. tne last $&uo, which .is only S5.. , ,. Under the proposed new schedule there is ho S1500 exemn : tion, so the same man would pay J per cent on tHe first . tnousana ana per cent on the second thousand, which would i, amount to $80. However, he is aIlowe4 a, personal tax ex ; emption (not income exemption) of $10, which subtracted , irom the amount' alxive; leaves $20 to pay the state. So ; the single nuin with a net income of $2,000 . would really be paying a straight tax of 1 per cen,t, instead of the present viic-ijuai ici ui i pur cent, inis, nowever, could not oe con sidered burdensome.

This would amount to a total tax of $520. Subtracting his $10. personal tax ex emption leaves him a net tax of $510 to pay the state.
