Hundred Millions
from Income Tax
(By United Press Associations

CBy United Press Associations)
Washington, Sept. 29.-Approxi-
mately 100000 perhons with incomes
ranging from $4,000 to 100000 a
year and upward will contribute to
the $100,000,O00 yearly revenue to be
derived from the income tax.
So far 561,4O2 persons have been
found taxable under the new law.
Of this number, 518,81O will be levied
on for incomes ranging from $4,000
to $4,000; 1926 on incomes from
$4,000 to $4,000; 74,611 on incomes
from $4,000 to 100000, and 1861
i on incomes exceeding 100000.
1t will require an estimated addi-
tional force of 275 revenue collectors
and clerks to administer and collect
income taxes.
These figures were given out to-
night by L. M. Spear, chief of the
corporation tax division of the depart
ment of internal revenue of the treas
ury. They comprise partial approx
imation from all the internal revenue
districts of the United States required
by Mr.. Spear and Colonel Osborne,
commissioner of internal revenue, to
form a foundation for further esti-
mates by the department.
Mr.. Spear stated that the figures
were as yet incomplete and predicted
that when all the returns were in, the
number of persons amenable to the
income tax will exceed 100000. Dis
tricts from which no returns have
been received are Arkansas, Con-
necticut, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky,
Missouri, Massachusetts, Montana,
Nebraska, the First, second and
Twenty first New York districts, Ore
gon and Washington.
The twenty-third internal revenue
district of Pennsylvania, containing
Pittsburg and adjacent towns, con-
tains the largest number of incomes
over 100000 The internal revenue
collector for this district estimated
that there are five hundred men in
his bailiwick who will have to pay
the highest income tax under the new
law.
The fourteenth New York district
is next with an estimate of over two
hundred incomes in excess of $780,
900. Albany is the principal city of
this district
Mr.. Spear pointed out, however,
that all estimates for the Empire
state were not in, particularly those
for New York City itself. He pre-
dicted that when all returns shall
have been made, New York will carry
off all honors for big incomes. The
twenty-eighth district of New York
has one hundred incomes estimated
in excess of 100000.
The state of Minnesota has $50
men whose incomes are estimated at
over $100,000; California 5, Colorado
45, Florida 5, Illinois As, Indiana Is,
Iowa 5, Kentucky IS (second Kentucky
missing), Louisiana michigan 120,
Missouri %, New Jersey So, North
Ctarolina 5, Ohio 158, Pennsylvania
a grand total of 625, Tennessee 5,
Texas 10, Washington 10, Wisconsin
| 10.
Alabama, New Hampshire, New
Mexico, North and South Dakota and
Oklahoma report no estimated in
comes of over 100000 subject to tax.

pie who are doing most and
giving literally for missions
abroad, the building of hospit-
ais and medical dispeusaries,
schools, etc., are the ones who
are doing most to relieve condi-
tions at home. 1t is this class
of people who last year gave a
half million of dollars for such
work through the Southern
Baptists alone not to mention
the other denominations. They
gave 100000 to relieve condi-
tions at home, in the South.
They gave $4,000 to have the
gospel preached in South Caro-
lima. It is this class of people
who are responsible for the Six
Mile Academy, the North Green
vile High school and the
twenty or thirty other schools
of like character. It is the
foreign mission givers who
BUILD churches, ard schools, and
colleges, and orphanages, and
rescue homes, and who foster
and support all the religious,
charitable and benevolent insti-
tutions to relieve conditions at
home. It is through the efforts
and gifts of this class with the
blessings of God that Argentina,
France, and some others have
thrown off th3 yoke Of Rome;
China has become a modern
republic; Cuba independent and
the world is receiving the Cos
pei. A Reader

Editing a newspaper is a nice

say we are rattle Drained. If

A Reader Writes
About New Rule

Mr.. Editor: Some of your
correspondents are rather severe
on the doctors because Of their
recent action. I dare say they
are clearly within their legal
rights and from an economic
point of view are equally so.
There are few people in this
country who cannot pay a reas-
enable doctor bill sometime dur
ing the year. I do not believe
the doctors would enforce this
rule literally, for I am sure if
sickness should occur in any
family who was destitute and
which would be real charity
either of the doctors to this
compact would gladly and
cheerfully render the necessary
services.
interpret the action of the
doctors for the good Of the peo-
pie. They would teach them
economy ard frugality. Toe
many people are extravagant,
the poor as well as the rich.
People frequently spend their
small earnings for luxuries and
friyilous things that do them
no good, instead of laying it up
against a RAINY day to pay their
doctor and for the actual COM
forts and necessaries of life.
I haye known men to buy
whiskey and drink it who
would have to give a lien or
mortgage for what they eat,
and I dare say some do so yet.
Only last Christmas the head of
one of the poorest families in
my community spent the last
cent from meagre savings to
buy candy, toys, ETC., for a
child when the family was in
actual need Of clothes and food.

In Memory of Little Furman
Bagweli.

With my eyes full of tears,
this being the 10th Of January,
it brings back to me the
thoughts of July 10th, six
months ago when God took
from me my darling baby, the
light and JOY Of my home.
The night was a dark, drizzley,
rainy night and we had worked
faithfully for six days and
nights, but no change for the
better, and as the sun was sink
ing low in the west we saw that
we could do no more, and at
l1:3O o'clock his little spirit
went to dwell with Him on
high. It seemed like it was
more than I could bear, and the
sa0dest Of all words eyer heard
was when Mr.. John Baker said,
He is gone" It seemed like
my neart strings would break
to think that I could never take
him in my arms again and to
know that [ would have to
spend the rest of my life here
without my baby. He was so
sweet and good. Sometimes I
can almost see those little golden
locks Of hair and those bright
blue eyes. But they are gone,
forever gone. I have nothing
to look at but his sweet little
clothes and pictures but they
are dear to me. May God in
heaven help me and everyone tc
be ready to meet him In that
happy land on high. He is
waiting on that golden shore to
welcome US one and all home.
May God ever bless Mr.. John
Baker and wife for their kind
ness through his sickness anc
death. / will close by asking
all who read this to pray for me
that I may meet him in heaven
where We will never part.
His Mother.

NO Ears No Name

It is told that an animal
cat-like in appearance, without
ears, and with pearly teeth,
sWan-throat, agile as a deer, wa
captured in the sWamps near
Bayou Rouge last week.
There was nothing to mark his
standing in the animal family.
He was an orphan, roaming
the woods, without known PAN
ahntage.
It created some excitement in
that section, and the writer was
invited to preside over the in
quest-for the animal died-but
when he was told that it was
spotted, of a beautiful color-the
Clarion man just didn't go.
May the animal Of beautiful
spots rest in peace.
The fact that he had no ears
didn't cut much figure.
