LARGE MARIMBAPHONE
TO BE USED BY THE MUSIC
MAKERS MALE QUARTET
In Opening Day Program Of Chan
tauqua Week. Vocal Solo and

perience on the Lyceum and Chau-
tauqua platform, will appear on the
opening day of the Chautauqua and,
aside from their vocal solo and en-

In the modern marimbaphone
there are powerful resonators con-
nected with the keys. The tones
are produced by felt-covered ham
mers. The resonators create the vol
Tune and the soft hammers beautify
the quality. The effect might be said
to suggest that of a powerful harp.
The members of the Music Makers
Quartet are: Charles Bryan Huff,
baritone and reader; Lloyd F. Gar
rett, first tenor; Mark Swingley,
basso; and w. H. Head, second tenor.
The Music Makers Quartet has ap-
peared during the last seven years in
nearly every state in the Union and
is conceded one of the best male
quartets before the public.

 The Tax Burdens
 From many parts of the country there begin to be heard complaints, some of which are portantous of the magnitude of modern taxation in the United States. In the city of New York. the new tax levy VIII probably amount to about per cent. This is in addition to state taxes, which include taxes on franchises, corporation taxes, stock transfer taxes and -inheri- tance taxes. Then there are the income tax and the new taxation called the war measure. The other day a corporation was asked to renew note of S100,000. The request was granted, but when the re- newai was made 1t was found that in or der to be legal it was necessary to pay s20 as its federal tax. There have been many annual meetings since January l of the stockholders of corporations. At almost all of them the stockholders were repre- sented by proxies. In one case. a cor poration was compelled to affix nearly sSoo worth of stamps 10 the proxies in or der to meet the requirements of the new federal law tax
 The state of New York is now contem- plating new taxation. From many parts o1 the United States there come vigorous protests against the tendency constantly to increase taxes. Elsewhere, as in this state 1t is found that taxation eats heav- fly into business, into income and into all resources The experts say that this is Tn part due to extravagant appropriations. in part to extravaganza in building public works. By reason of a recent decision of the highest court of New York there maye be entailed heavy loss to the city of New York, part of which will necessarily be made good by extra taxation of some kind. The court held that the contrao- tors who are expending nearly $l0O, 900 in building new subways are forbidden by law to employ any but American citizens upon this work. Unless the legislature comes to the relief Of the contractors. this Judgment of the court of appeals must stop construction work in great measure, for much the greater part of the labor which the building of the subways in- wolves Is performed by aliens, mostly Italians and Poles. To suspend this work means greatly increased cost and the in- creased cost means increased taxation. some of the best judges of the causes of the high cost of living are now persuad- ed that not the least of them is the ex- cess of taxation which prevails almost everywhere in the United States

REGULATIONS UPON INCOME TAX HARD ID GRASP FULLY Little Dishonesty Found In Making the Returns
 From New York REGULATIONS ARE GREATLY INVOLVED Many Sources of Irritation Come Up Even In Honest Efforts to
 Make the Proper
 Returns
By HOLLAND

New York. March S.-(Special. )-When last the first income tax returns were made to the collectors of internal rev eenue in this city, there was an intuitive feeling that the tmaunt of the tax would be less than was estimated by the Wash 1ngton authorities when the income tax was under consideration by Congress. That suspicion was found to have been correct. In fact the falling off was so great as to lead some of the Washington authorities to say that there was evil dence of dishonesty in making up re- turns.
 The collectors of internal revenue did not believe that accusation nor any of those experts whose services were util- ized by those who had complicated re- turns to make. Since that tax was paid there have been no discolsures which would show that any widespread dis honesty in preparation of the returns ex- isted. There was. however. a heavy falling off in incomes as compared with previous years due to depression in busi- ness. Many isolated cases Of the com plete loss of income were reported and is the Berkely Divinity school and Yale and Harvard found their incomes se- riously impaired by the passing of the dividends upon New Haven railroad stock, it, of course is certain that indi- viduals who were the possessors of thiJ stock found their own incomes in like manner impaired.
 The passing of. dividends, widespread

dullness in business and the dangerous increase in other taxes cut sheavily into incomes. and for that reason the actual income tax paid was found to be very much less than the estimate of the amount of the tax made while Congress was considering the measure.
 On Monday of this week income tax returns for the year 1914 were made to collectors of internal revenue all over the country. The intimation are strong that in many parts of the country the collectors will find no difficulty in han ding these returns so small will be the number of them. Even from New York city, from which the largest amount of the income tax Is collected, the returns will probably, be found to be smaller than those of last year.
 Source of Irritation
 From all parts of the country come complaints of the difficulty which those who have considerable incomes have met with in preparing their returns for the collectors. One or two examples of ex- perience in this city may illustrate this situation. Those who have charge of an estate whose approximate income is about s5000o0, but whose investments reach in many directions, were occupied for nearly week and during the entire business hours of each day Tn endeavor-
 
 of them by the treasury department reg ulations. Upon some points it was found impossible to reach a conclusion respect ing what the treasury regulations called for. The best that could be done was to make a report in perfect sincerity and vet with grave doubts whether or not it met the requirements. A citizen of New York who has considerable income confessed himself absolutely at sea and believed that he was justified in mak- ing report which he sincerely be- lieved or at least hoped. fulfilled the requirements of the law and the treas- ury regulations.
 Experiences of this kind have been the lot of those who possess incomes not only as citizens of New York, but as citizens of other communities. The experiences have daused irritation not due so much to the fact that the law requires a tax to be paid upoRan income as to the ab- struseness and p0mplexity of the treasury department regulations. One of the large income taxpayers of New York said a few days ago that the great majority of those who are fortunate enough to have con siderable income are willing to pay tax upon it. The common belief is that the income tax can be fully justified, but it is also believed that the provisions of an in- come tax law should be made perfectly clear and that it creates a dangerous feeling of opposition to an income tax law

 Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Moderate improvement characterizes the finished material market in nearly all products, but evidence of strong compeu-
 tion and willingness in some cases to
 shade prices have not disappeared. Raii-
 road buying continues to be disappoin'- ing. The placing of an order for 2oVoo tons of steel fails by the Illinois Central

 European mills would be able to do 1T not prevented by war conditions.

 pacity. the same as for the proceeding week Pig iron production in February
 was 1,666592 tons gain of 75o6S tons compared with January. The number or stacks in blast show an increase of la
 Increase production is due almost entire
 " to the greater activity of steel works ar nonmerchant furnaces Although orders due to European war still make up very large percentage of the machine tool bus mess booked by American plants, an en- couraging feature Is the more liberal buy ing by railroads. The santa Fe, Erie and several other lines have made purchases during the past few days There is much excitement concerning the placing of or ders for export, and reported orders for shells make a tremendous aggregate. Some Cincinnati manufacturers of laths are complaining of q shortage of labor The American Radiator company has con purchases for It's current requirements, but it has not sent out formal inquiries. and it is not expected to buy in the near future. Exports of pig iron are being
 made somewhat more freely. but the ton nages are not large. The outlook in Bir-
 mingham and Cincinnati is more favor
 able. but throughout the country the pig iron market IS very dull. Structural awards during tse past week have been
 more encouraging than for sometime and include 1S,000 tons for elevated work in Brooklyn, awarded to the American
 Bridge company: 9o00 tons for an inter state bridge at Portland, of which 7700 tons were awarded to the American Bridge company and the remainder to the Northwestern Steel company. The Clarke avenue bridge. Cleveland, 9500 tons. award ed to the King Bridge company, which
