Great Increase IN
THE income TAX
Collector Miles Attributes
the Advance TO Better
Business Conditions
RECEIPTS WILL
JUMP $3.50, 900

BALTIMORE June 18.-lncome tax
returns must be in not later than
July 1. Collector Miles, OF the in
ternal Revenue Department stated
yesterday that there was more
promptness this year than the last
and he attributes this to the fact that
people are better informed than at
the time the law became effective.
A feature most pleasing 10 the
government is the increase in the col
lections. Singularly enough these
are confined TO the individual returns
the corporation end showing a slisht
loss. The net gain in this district
this year will approximate nearly
100000, the total receipts being es-
timated at Sl.25000C as were only ten
months accounts for against SS50000
in 1914 True there last year the
act not being effective until Septem-
! ber l., 1913. but even al that. the in
crease will not fall short of 80 per
cent
In furnishing a probable explana-
tion for this increase, Collector Miles
said that in his judgment It was due

Aside. however, from this source.

business houses. and those employed

Collector Miles made the positive
statement. and this was cOncurred

that with few exceptions, the mer-
chants made far more money last
year than the year previous. The
greatest gain came from the depart
ment stores, some of which doubled
their profits. In not single in
stance did the returns show q de-
crease other business houses. oper-
ating on a less extensive scale, were
equally prosperous. indicating 10 the
collector that business was booming
and getting better all the time.
Still another source. and this is of
peculiar interests, Is from salaries in
excess OF the amount exempted from
taxation. In the case of an Gnmar-
ried man IL is $4,000 and when mar
ried $4,000 All must however make
returns, even when not liable to be
taxed In checking up these returns
last year. it was found that quite a
number were receiving increased re-
muneration. and we're now paying a
share Of the tax, proving two things
namely that the Increased volume o.
business justified an advance I'm sal

men employed were in demand.
