income TAX REVENUE

Secretary McAdoo Says.

Returns from the income tax have-fal-

have failed to offset the expected de-
crease in the tariff receipts under the
new law. according to flgurs made public
last night by Secretary McAdoo. Tho
government income, 1t is now estimated,
will exceed ordinary expenses by about
$50. 100000. but that is about 100000
less than last years surplus. The sue
tom houses. however. Will turn in about
100000 more than had been esti-
mated.

1t was last year.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that the
gate $733.O00.0O0. and the total ordinary
disbursements S7O3!O0O.OO0 Total re-
ceipts for the last fiscal year were S723.-
7S2.9H. with ordinary disbursements Of
S1SS. 1870. 1872. In statement last night,
Secretary McAdoo said:
Surplus Probably $50, 200, 900.

estimates Of ordinary receipts and dis
Juno so. 1914. and II all the assessments
under the personal income tax are paid
before June 30, the surplus will be prob
| ably s3OOOoOOO
TT is very possible, however, that a large
sum due for income taxes may not be
paid until few days after June 30. in
which event the estimate will be reduced
accordingly. as such payments will be
credited to the fiscal year ending June
30. 1915.
up to June 10 the Treasury has re-
ceived over $276. 10000 from customs, and
for the year it will probably reach s2ol.-
900. an excess Of $21,0OOO00 over the
original estimate.
THE ordinary internal revenue receipts
will probably be about 1911 100000. de-
crease of about 81, 100000 from the origi-
nal estimate.
"The additional internal revenue re-
ceipts, comprising the corporations excise
tax for two months of the year; the cor
poration and personal income tax for ten
months of the year, will probably amount
to about $1,000 600. The total assessments
to date against corporations Is between
s43, 600, 900 and $4,000. GOO, about 50, 4oO.-
900 in excess of the estimate. The per-
sonal income tax assessments to date are
$50, $50 900. which is 23.2J0, 900 less than
the estimates. The total assessment on
corporations and individuals will be at
least 100000
Only Ten Months Included.

tiers suitable for the twelve federal re-

many cases sites were offered for build

The same reply has been made to all
such offers. The Treasury Department

organization committee have absolutely
nothing to do with the provision of bank
Ing quarters for the new institutions.

detail work While the federal reserve
board will supervise the operation OF the

sense. All stock In the federal reserve
banks will be owned by member banks
