Washington, Jan. 20.—Profits of corporations and co-partner- ships in excess of 8 per cent of the capitalization would be taxed 8 per cent and inheritance taxes would be raised to produce 236 million dollars by a_ tentative draft of the administration Rev- enue Bill, awaiting consideration by'the House ways and means committee Monday. A bond issue of 289 million dollars is provided. Exemptions from the excess profits tax would apply to con- eerns having not more than $5,000 profit annually, to agricultural pursuits and to incomes of profes- sional men. The rate on minimum inheritances now taxable would be increased from 1 to 1 1-2 per cent and thosé of more than 15 million dollars would be taxed 15 per cent. The Motor and Speed Regulator To insure perfect evenness of tone, it is important that the motor of a’ Talking Maehine be regular and positive in its action. It should run at exactly the same speed when tightly wound as when almost run down, and its speed should, at all times, be uniform. : : The Artophone motor is built by the most experienced and expert mechanics, to meet the special requirements of this machine. It is so well constructed that, if oiled: and cleaned occasionally, it will last indefinitely. . Machines at very much higher prices have no better mo- tor, and few have as good as that found in the Artophone. pice Sat Gan . sealed that by simply turning a con- ni jocated indicator, an si i = ae ’ 'y desired speed may easily be Let Us Demonstrate.
