II INCOME TAX.
4 Rational Explanation Of the De-
t~iciency Of 1913.

To THE EDITOR oF THE SuN-Str:
Among the various reasons put form
from time TO time accounting for the
deficiency of the individual income tax
returns for 1913 from the estimated
amount and for the increased returns
for 1914 ! have not seen PUBLISHED what
seems to me one of the most important
factors namely, that the returns lag
behind the income.
Interest duo January |. 1914. for in
ance payable annually and which
accrued during the ten months Of
1913 the law was in effect, WAS not re
turned until 1915. Bond coupons were
treated similarly.
Also, coupons due April /, 1919. COW
ering six months interest, were returned
at one-siNth their face. as holders con-
sidered interest accruing previous TO
March /, 1918, was not tdNable.
! do not know whether this was ac-
cording to law or not, but ! be-eve the
statement Is in accord with the facts.
These reasons seem to me more potent
than the often alleged charge hat the
Treasury Department has been after
tax dodgers. The amount oi tax dodg-
ing certainly has been exaggerated. pos
s!bly grossly.
The fact seems evident that the re-
turns have only just caught up" with
the normal annual income of the tax
payers. y, HALL.

The Ckrainians.

Most Americans never heard OF
Ukraine; II the same suggested any
thing TO them it was merely some
mythical kingdom of romance. Yet
in this country there are more than
a million Ukrainians. Rutheuians or
Little Russians" as they are vaii-
ously called. and there are more than
4O,OOO.ONU of them living in the rich
est portion of the European continent.
The great war between Russia and
Austria is being fought to-day on
Ukrainian territory. Ukraine is one
Of the forgotten nations. and its voice
raised at this time seems Il cry from
ages long past.
The cry Is the usual cry Of the
submerged people for national and
political recognition. Ukraine was n
compact geographical unit which
included practically all the 'black
soil zone" of Europe. the territory in
fact enclosed between the Carpathlans

tween the head waters Of the DnieIer
and the Black and AZov seas. Within
these boundaries was Ukraine. which
reached the golden age of its national
life between the ninth and fourteenth
centuries, This land to-day. political.
ly speaking. is divided between Rus
STA and Austria-IIungary, the country
east ~ the Dnieper having been alb
sorled by Russia in 1856, the portion
west in 1893, and the AuStro- Hun
garian rule having begun with the
last partition Of Poland in 1875.
In spite Of this division and not
outstanding the fact that these peo-
pie for more than a century have had
no national existence they have to an
extent preserved their racial senti.
ments and aspirations, and they have,
with great effort, raised their own
literature aud educational and eco
Uomic institutions. The centre Of the
Ckrainian propaganda was estab,
liShed at Lemherg.
In view Of the fact that the Ikrain-
ianS IN Austria We're few in com
parlson with those in her own borders,
Russia looked with considerable SuS-
picion upon this revival of the Ikrain-
ian tongue. As early AS 1870 an
imperial ukase forbade the use of tho
language in public. Ukraiuian books
and newspapers were prohibited and
the language was MOI permitted in the
schools. These severe rules were
somewhat modified by the revolution
of 1900. Some of the Tkrainians have

her son had a faculty OF guessing, or

repressvd by his parents, who did not

not allowed TO learn to read. and the
only tools his mine had to work with
were the bare letters OF the alphabet,
acquired by him before the repressive
measures went into effect. In spite of
this. when he was three years old his
