Richmond, July 1.-Reports IRON
Collector of Internal Revenue r. I.
L. Moncure, of the Eastern District OF
Virginia, showing the largest coilec-
tions for June and the year 1914 IN
the history of the Office, were prob
ably the first to be made to the au-
thorities in Washington.
The figures announced from this
Office last night show that the last
year has been one Of the most pros
porous in it's history, and that during
the month of June all records for re-
ceipts have been broken. The IN
crease in revenue from the sale OF
cigars, cigarettes, liquor, as we'll as
that from corporations and individual
taxes, has been general and almost
as clearly marked from one source
as from another.
A peculiar feature of the days
work yesterday was the receipt Of
several checks from individuals for
amounts of l cent. These checks were
for income taxes, ard in many cases
were in payment of taxes which
amounted to less than the penny paid,
but, as that is the least unit Of mon
etary value, it had to be paid. Uncle
Sam made the difference and also the
two cents postage which it cost the
taxpayer to send them to the Office
Of the collector.
The income tax for 1914 amounted
to S7OI12.30, Of which amount S55,-
1852 was paid during the month of
June As this is the first year Gur-
ing which such tax has been levied,
no comparison can be made.
Corporation taxes showed an in
crease in 1914 over the preceding year
of about $1,000. The total sum col
lected was 500, 5,SlG.17, as against
1904 ,6O0.70 for the year before. the
collections for the month of June to-
tailed S2S1 ,SS1.SS.
Probably the. greatest increase in
revenue recorded was that from the
sale of spirits. It was shown that
the revenue from this source for the
last year amounted to S1,06S, ,57I09,
as against sS20,213.52 for 1913. Dur
ing June $S0,2S6.5S of the revenue
was collected. Collections from the
sale of beer amounted to SS0,245 dur
ing the year.
We're it not for the actual figures,
which cannot be denied, it would be
hard to believe the sums named as
having been paid in revenue during
June ard the entire year for the man
ufacture of cigarettes in the Eastern
District. According to the figures an
nounced last night, S3,3S6,311.43 was
paid during the year as revenue from
their manufacture, and of this amount
S324,556.0S was paid within the last
month. These figures show an in
crease of nearly $4,000 over those OF
1913, which we're S3,2SS, ,6O4.70.
While the sums received from the
manufacture Of cigars is much less
than that obtained from the maniac
ture Of cigarettes, the figures are
large and the increase is also very
marked. The United States govern
ment received S961,224.91 as revenue
from the manufacture Of cigars IN
1914 as against SSS0,75S.S2. in 1918:
During June of this year $6l,S51.99.
was paid in revenue from this source.
To these figures are added those
from the manufacture of other kinds
of tobacco which amount forms one
of the largest items recorded in the
Office Of Collector Moncure. Within
the last month S115,722.S0 was paid
into the Office of the collector, while
the total collections for the year
amounted to 81 ,292 2,SOS.97. Those for
1913 were 81 29O,620.97 showing an
| increase OF slightly more than $4,000.
| The total collections from. the Of
| flee of Collector Moncure for June
amounted to s951.993.51 and for the
year s6,26S,932.22.
The figures for the year are $751;
55S.40 as against SS2S,S1C.49 for the
yeas 1beiore, while those for the
month are $4,000 as against $685.
900 for June of 1913.
