DETA|LS OF THE NEW FRENCH INCOME TAX Incomes D-ohrnd Wiil Net Govern- ment Only About 22,000,000 Francs. Paris, June 23.—Under the new in- come tax, 336,000 persons have made declarations but only 163,107 of them were of amounts that exceed the ex- empt limit. The total of the revenues declared was 2,949,000,000 francs and with all deductions made for family dependents, etc., the two per cent on the taxable portion of the incomes de- clared will be only about 22 millien francs. It was estimated when the law was enacted that it would produce about forty million francs revenue to the state. By categorles the taxable incomes declared were: 5,000 to 10,000 francs . - 78,523 16,589 155 - Ribot.

Comparison forms the basis for thelr every decision, and just as the knowledge or information they possess is accurate or inaccurate, s0 the decision rendered.is good or bad. ‘You judge the value of a plece of goods by comparing it with other pleces—actually or by mental process. Your judgment depends upon how well you are informed. If you err in your judgment the inclina- tion is to shift the blame to “the other fellow” for not playing fair in failing to inform you. Just so your custofmer blames you when you fail to inform her about your merchandiss and she makes an 6rror in buying. She is disappointed and you lose a patron.
