The latter was ineorporated by King Henry VIII in 1537, ‘When the American branch was ofgan- ized it adopted not only tHe plan and pur- pose of its famous prototype, but also many of its customs. Yet the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company of Massachusetts' was founded in a mannér charagteristically American. o At the close of the first Indian war in which Massachusetts engaged—that shert and blesdy conflict With the Pequods—the of Boston feasted the victerious militiamen. Some of the soldiers, and a few merchants and ‘“gentlemen” of the infant colony, former members of the Honorable Artillery of London, suggested a military. organization, theaim of which should be to instruct men in*the art of war and introduce a better and uniform system of military tactics. After shaping the new company they peitioned the gen- eral court for a charter. At first the council, considering “haw dangerous it might be to erect a standing authority of military men, which might easily, in time, overthrow the civil power, thought fit to stop it betimes.” The gov- ernor, however, soon perceived that suéh a company Wwould strengthen his power and through his influence the charter was finally granted. On. the 17th day ef March, 1638, the much-discussed petition was mpproved by order of the géneral court. At the time this charter was granted Boston was rather a village than a town. The first charter granted by the general court of the Massachusetts Bay was to “the Cor- poration 8¢ Harvard College.” The sec- ond, and the only other granted for 100 years, was. the charter of this ancient ar- tillery company. The document reads as follows : “Wheréas, divers gentiemen and others, out of their care of the public weal and safety, by the davaneement of the mili- tary art, and exercige.of arms, have de- sired license of the court to join them- selves in one company, and to have the liberty to exercise themselves at such times as their occasions will permit; and that such liberties and privileges might be granted them as the court should think meet, for their better cncouragement and furtherénce in so useful an employment, | which request of theirs being referred by the court unts us of the Standing Coun- cil, we have thought fit, upon serio: consideration and confe rne- with di of the principal of them, tc set down 2y erder herein as followe': “Imprints. We Keayne, merchant; XNatiin: merchant; Robert Se-gw. William Spencer, 1ner:ains others as they have already ji them, and such as tney shall frem te time take into their coinvany, =! called the Military ay chusetts.” The charter then goes on to state the privileges granted thé company, many of which were most remarkable. The first election of officers was held on the first Monday in Jtie, 1639, somewhat more than a year aft:m granting of the charter, the first ander chosen being Robert Keayne. The first period of the artillery com- pany’s history extends from the date of its charter to 1686, when its meetings were suppressed by Gevernor Andros. From the first the company seemed to realize the design of its fbunders by train- ing men tp be efficient officers in all branches of the service; so when the first real orgapization of the seatteréd militia companies was effected, in 1844, many of the officers were chosen from it. As no high sounding titles were tolerats ed, so no military regalia was aliowed, |and even as late 23 1775 the officers wore i only knots of ribbon of different eolers.as insignia of their rank. The company was dispersed by the Revolution, a few of the members remain- ing firm in their loyalty to thé crown, but by far the greater number were active in striving to maintain thé rights of the col- onists. In spite of the wars between the United States and England, a very friefid- ly sentiment has always existed between The oldest military erganizations of these two countries. The anniversary of the organization of this company, the first Monday of June, is Still celebrated by an annual parage. A sermon is preached to the company; 2 dinner is eaten in Faneuil hall and speeches ligtened te, and thén follows the march to the Common, where ihe gover- nor delivers to thé newly elected officers their commfesions (running for one year enly), and the insignia of their offices.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bricklayers and Mas in Danieison, In answer to an article . 8, in the Danielson news referring to the bricklayers and masons anticipating a reduction in wages and also stating what wages they will get I will say it is false and misleading to the public. We are inclined to beliéve the local correspondent ,is going beyond his authority in making such a statement therefore our statement is, that we”are not anticipating any reduction in wagi and not contemplating any. We we-e the last to raise our wages and I be- lieve ouf scale is as low as any,in the state, But we are taxpaying Americans and do not in any way wish to hold the pub- lic back from building. It twe contrac- tors in this jurisdiction think that a reduction of wages is the only way, let them come to us as fair as we did to them and not let one correspondent be dictator for the entire public. Yours resgectfully, JOHN OWEN, Secretary Rricklayers and Masons Union. Danielson, Jan. 10, 1921, INCOME TAX FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW Due, in the majérity of cases, to mis- understanding of exemptions, more than 70,000 persons last year were assessed 2 nominal penalty of from -5 to $10 fer failure to file an income tax return for 1919, although their ificome for that year was not taxable. The revenue act provides a personal exemption of $1,000 for singly persons. $2.000 for married persons and\heads of families, and an additional exemption of $200 for each person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support, If such per- stn is under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support. Phe delinquents last year were persons whose incomes exactly equaled the amount of the aliswable ex- emptions and who considered it unneces- sary to file a return and others whosa income, because of dependents, was non- taxable, but who nevertheless were re- quired by law to make returns. The Bureau of Internal Revenue. therefore, this vear is emphasizing the fact that the requirements to file a return are based solely on a person's marjtal etatus and the amount of his or her mcome for 1920, Single persons with net fnccmes for 1920 of $1.000 or more and marriéd persons with net incomes of $2,000 or more must file return regardless of whether their incomes are nontaxable. Retarns of Married Persons. The exempticn of 32,000 allowed mar- ried persons applies to the combined in- come of husband and wife. to which must be added the ineome of dependent miner children. A common error is for both husband- and wife t5 claim the ex- emption ,which is designed to cover es- sential living expenses. This exemption may be claimed by ®ther or may he ap- portioned between them as they may elect. It the income of either husband or wife for the vear 1820 was more than $5.000, each shoulq file a sesarate etu'n, This is for the purpose of computing sor- rectly the surtax on Income In excess of $5.800, which applies separately to the net ineome of husband and wife, and not to the combined net Income. The surtax rates which apply enly to net income in excess of $5,000, are com- puted without benefit of the personal ex- emptions. Many taxpayers make the mis- take_of computing tax on the combinel net income of husband and wife, to their own disadvantage. As an llustration, in the case of a hushand whose net income was $7,000 and that of his wife $2060. the tétal nérmal and surtax, if fha in- comes wers combined, would améunt to $480, whereas it computed on the income of each would amount to only $350. In the first instanca, deducting the persanal exemption of $2.000 from the combned income of 39,000, the tax is on the re- maining $7.000. At the rate of 4 per esnt. on thé first $4.000 and 8 per cent. on in- come in excees 6f that amount the normal tax amounts to $400. The surtax, which s computed without the benefit of the versonal excmption, whieh is 1 per eent. not {home at one place and the wife If, however, the hushand vol untarily and coatinuously his an- are ngt living together within other, the the meaning of the intome tax laws re- | gardless of their personal re ns. In case of separation by mutual agreement each must make a return of income of $1,000 or rore. The same rule applies in case if divorce ar lcgal separation. A maid or widow not the head of a family ang without dependents is entitled only to a $1,000 exemption. Fow to Determine Status The status of a taxpayer on the last day of the taxable year determines the ameunt of his exemptions. If on Decem 0, he was married and livine im fe he may cl though the exemption, have taken place on December 30.
