Income Tax to Show Increase.

From the examination thus far
made of the income tax returns for
1913, it is safe to say that the tax
this year will exceed that of last year
by a considerable amount"
This is the statement made by Nils
P. Haugen, chairman Of the state tax
commission.
"The counties from which returns
have been examined have been taken
Unfortunately from various parts
of the state" said Mr.. Haugen, and
while some of the corporations show
slight decrease in income, by far
the greater number and especially the
large ones, show an increase.
The corporation income tax collect
ed last year was 1922, 605.40. This
amount was s407,889.10 larger than
the year before Of the entire tax col
lected, 70 per cent is paid to the To-
cality where the corporation has it's
headquarters, 20 per cent goes to the
county and 10 per cent to the state.
The cost of collection is about fifty
thousand dollars, borne by the state.
This increase In corporation in
come tax denotes an increase in the
prosperity of Wisconsin," said Mr.
Haugen.
