Annual Report OF Commissioner Yefkes
Shows Reduction.
Washington, Nov. S0.-John w.
Yerkes, commissioner OF internal rev.
enue, in his last annual report to the
secretary OF the treasury shows that
the total receipts Of his bureau for
the fiscalayear ending June 80, 1908
were $3.50, o,740.925, at a cost Of collection
of ,2.07 per cent. The receipts for the
last fiscal year are about $41,OOO,0oO
less than that for the year 1902.
This decrease" says the commits
sioner, "is not due to diminution In
the business movements and CONNER
cial transactions of the country. but
entirely to reduction Of internal rev.
enue taxes. The receipts for the first
three months OF this current fiscal
year, show gratifying increase, and
1t is estimated that the receipts for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904.
will aggregate $230,000.000. Under re-
cent congressional enactments provid-
Ing for the refund of taxes collected
upon bequests Of legacies for uses OF
a religious. literary, charitable or ed
ucational character, $557, 1892 have been
