INCREASED DREvKNUE.-Returns for the nnual
lists OF incomes and special taxes for $50, re-
ceiyed at the Internal Revenue from thirty-six
collection districts, in different parts of the
country, show an increase in amount of assess
ments Of S4 900. As the districts from which
these returns come are generally small and un-
important, the indications are that the lists for
the current year will show a very large increase
over the returns OF last year, not withstanding
the facts that the general business of the
country has fallen on somewhat, ana that
almost all incomes are smaller now than then
The increase arises solely from closer assess
ments and better enforcement OF the revenue
laws.
