oelleat . condition, to resume opera
tion. 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

'J' ;.....:... .. 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

Now take the case of a single man with a nct.jncome of

a total tax of $520. Subtracting his $10. personal tax ex
