the best known lawyers in Denver
died at noon at his home in the

teenth avenue and Clarkson street.
He had been ill only since Monday,
At nearly the same hour Colin

former law firm of Wolcott and Vaile
and also with that of Vaile and Mc

many years he was assistant attorney
for the Colorado & Southern road
and from that position he went to
the Denver & Rio Grande Company
as assistant to E. N. Clark, general
attorney of the road. He held this
position fof ten years, until early in
March, 1920.
At that time a new position was
created, the government having re
turned the railroads to private con
trol, and Mr. McMurry was appoint
ed to this position as valuation coun
sel.
Mr. McMurry was born in Union
City, Tenn., Nov. 24, 1864. His par
ents were Vincent and Jane Bradford

'Income Taxes.
The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue, L
P. Brewer, the district of Tennessee,
The Revenue Act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions,
which are the subject of frequent in
quiry. The first relates to the per
sonal exemptions allowed married
sons, and the second to the provision
equiring that a return be made of
gross income of $5,000 or more.
The act provides that a married
person living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was
000 or less shall be allowed a per
sonal exemption of $2,500. If the
net income of such person was over
$5,000 the exemption is $2,000. Un
der the Revenue Act of 1918, the
personal exemption allowed a mar
ried person was $2,000 regardless of
the amount of net income.- The nor
mal tax rate remains unchanged, 4
per cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come.
In order that an income slightly in
excess of $5,000 shall not be subject
ed to an inordinately disproportion
ate tax because of the reduction of
the exemption of $2,000 thereon, the
law provides that such reduction
shall not operate to increase tide tax,
