A notice in the Daily and Sunday Post introduces the 37th part of a series by Thomas H. Ray on federal income tax. It lists prior topics covered from February 6 to March 13 including history of legislation, capital assets, deductions, corporate returns, invested capital, and personal returns guidance.
The tax rate is 6 percent on the first 4000 dollars in excess of credits and 12 percent on all income over that sum. For example a 7000 dollar income with 2600 credits yields 6 percent on 4000 between 2600 and 6600 and 12 percent on the remaining 400.

Excess compensation may be treated as dividends or capital expenditures depending on the relationship to stock, ownership, or property. The classification differs for corporations versus individuals or partnerships and aims to tax excesses appropriately.
