V - '
The Klwanls club greatly appre
ciated the talk made on the new state
Income tax law by G. G. Hewitt, for
merly deputy federal internal revenue
collector, -but now a private Income
tax advisor in Medford. Mr. Hewett
explained the requirements and ope
ration of the state law nnd said every
wlriRlo person with $1000 income or
more in 1928 and every married per
son with an income of $2000 or more
must make areport( whother they pay
ny tax or not. - - - -
Mr. Hewitt gave this example: A
single person with an income of $20
per week would receive $1040 per
year -.with $1000 exemption and no
other exemption like taxes or 'dona
tions, would pay one per cent tax on
$40 or 40 cents. A married person
drawing $40 per week or $2080 a year
with no dependents, taxes or dona
tions, would pay one per cent on $80
or 80 cents. These same ratios npply
until the income for cither is $1000
net. Between $1000 and $2000 net
income one and one fourth per cent,
above $2000 net Income the rate in
creases one-fourth per cent per $1000
lip to $5000 net and above that the
rate increases one-half per cent per
$H000 ret, up to $12,000 and all above!
that takes 6 per cnt straight. j
i jfnte Income tax rate is the same:
for corporations' and Individuals. j
Federaj reports, must be made prior,
to Marqh, lG and itiittf reports prior to;
March pQ. : -
All' state reports must have attach
ed a cpoy of the corporation, part
nership or individual reports for the
same period.

The Albany high basketball squad
suffered its second defeat of tho week
end last night In the Central high gym,
when the Medford delegation handed
it the light end of a 32-16 score. The
battle was replete with rough playing
from start to finish, numerous fouls
being called throughout.
Med lord started rolling in counters
from the floor at the beginning, but
the locals experienced difficulty In lo
cating the basket. Tho tries during
the initial canto were about equally
distributed. Only once, and that at the
beginning of the second half, did Al
bany Btago a comeback. For the mo
ment it looked as though the score
would be evened, but tho Bpurt was
short lived and the Invndors rolled up
another Increase in points.
Chastaln, Medford forward, was high
point man of tho game, annexing 1G
points for his team. Gilbert, forward.
and Handloy, center, divided high
point honors equally with two field

The geological formation and struc

METHODIST SOUTH
OPENED YESTERDAY
Evangelist Hughes opened the
special services at the Methodist
Church, South, yesterday with two
addresses of a kind seldom heard in
these days. Ho is a fearless, direct,
and yet exceptionally pleasant speak
er. His long years spent In the corn
memorial would lend a tons and man
ner to his address which is perhaps
quite rare. The general effect voic
ed by those who heard him was, "we
have heard nothing like that in many
a day." Rev. Hughes is a champion
of Bible faith and teaching shorn of
every semblance of modern heresy and
half-toned Infidelity, according to the
pastor, Rev. J. B. Coan.
A feature of the services Is a most
inspiring and enjoyable half hour of
song led by a large -chorus choir and
a junior choir of boys and girls. These
meetings will continue for fifteen
days only. A number of interesting
events are being planned for the jun
ior choir with a banquet for them at
the close of the meeting. The ser
vices open at 7:30 tonight. The sub
ject announced is 'Ciet Up and Go
and Play the Game Straight." Be-j
ginning tomorrow there will be ser
vices at 10, 2:30 and 7:30 each day
through the week.

How We Spend Your Money
in building Sttidebaker cars
Why people buy 150,000 yearly
TTT is true that we spend lavishly
I) on Studcbakcr cars. But it's all
JL- to your advantage.
.' Jt is by that spending that we give
you the greatest value in the fine-car
field. We offer prices no one matches
on any comparable cars.
That lavish spending led people
last year to pay $200,000,000 for
Studebaker cars. And that volume
brings our prices down to where they
are.
$50,000,000 in plants
Studebaker assets are $90,000,000.
In modern plants and equipment we
have $50,000,000. Seventy per cent
ot that amount was spent
in the past seven years.
So it represents the last
word in equipment.
$8,000,000 in drop forge
plants, so every vital part
is made to Studebaker
standards.
$10,000,000 in body
plants, so Studebaker
ideals may be shown in
every body. '
All that is staked in a
permanent way on satis
fying fine-car buyers bet
ter than our rivals.
America. The' Light-Six more than
any competitive car within $1,000 of
its price.
In closed cars we offer wondrous '
luxury. The lining is Chase Mohair,
made from the fine fleece of Angora
goats. Velour would cost about one
third that, saving up to $100 a car.
Note those bump- . that steel
trunk, those extra dis. wheels, with
cord tires on some models. Note that
extra courtesy light. Think what
they would cost if you bought them.
The cost of care
The unvarying standards in Stude
baker cars are fixed by a department
1 What extras cost
Don't Buy Blindly-
Lack of vibration is a
famous Studebaker fea
ture. We get that by ma
chining crank shafts as
they were in Liberty Air
plane Motors. That extra
cost is over $600,000
yearly.
Matchless endurance is another
famous feature. One Studebaker Six,
still in active use, has run 475,000
miles since 1918. We get that through
costly steels. On some we pay 15
bonus to makerstoget formulas exact.
i Beauty of finish is another su
premacy. But that finish requires
many operations, including 15 coats
of paint and varnish.
Our real leather cushions cost $25
per car over imitation leather.
Every Studebaker car is Timken
equipped. The Special-Six and the
Big-Six have more Timken bearings
than any car selling under $5,600 in
Studebaker is today the leader in the
fine-car field. '
It has made this concern the largest
builder of qualify cars in the world.
You can find nothing in cars at $1,000 or
over to compare with Studebaker values.
Studebaker sales have almost trebled in
the past three years. The growing demand
is the sensation of Motordom.
For 72 years the name Studebaker has
stood for quality and class. But never so
much as today.
Then don't buy a car at $1,000 or over
without learning what we offer.

Our constant improvements are
due to ceaseless research. 125 ex
perts devote their time to the study
of betterments. They make 500,000
tests per year.
That reliability is due to 12,000
inspections of the material and work
manship, in each Studebaker car be
fore it leaves the factory. This re
quires 1,000 inspectors.

Then we pay extvs for continuous
service. Last year, 13,000 men in our
factories got anniversary checks
total $1,300,000. After five years of
service-those checks amount to 10
of their wages. : .
We spend $2,000,000 yearly on our
co-operative work for men,
Every year we give factory em
ployes one week's vacation with pay.
That cost us $225,000 last year.
We sell them stock on attractive
terms. We retire old employes on
pensions. ' -
All this to keep men happy, to
foster morale, and to keep men with
, us when they develoo
efficiency.
Not extravagance .
Do such things seem
extravagant? They are
not. All those extra dol lars
save more dollars for
our buyers.
They result in the can
you see, in the prices and
values we offer. Nothing
else in the field can com
pare, t
Those values have re
sulted in a demand for
150,000 cars per year.
That volume cuts our
costs in two, as compared
with limited production.
The cause of over
prices under-values
is not lavish expenditure.
It is
Limited production.
Heavy overhead.
Out-of-date machinery,
Antiquated methods,
Non-economical plants,
Transient labor,
Discontented workers. -We've
eliminated those things.
We've done it at what seems to you
a heavy cost per car. But each of
those, extra dollars saves $5, we be
lieve. Note what values and what
prices have resulted. Note the amaz
ing demand the overwhelming de
mand it has brought for Sfrjsbsker
cars.
