These are the receipts from
personal income taxes-exclu-
sive, of course, of corporation
taxes-for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1914.
The amount of income taxes
paid in a state is not a reliable
index of states wealth. The
law provides that relatively
small incomes are exempt from
taxation, and it would be pos
sible for such a condition to ex-
est that a state with great
wealth, evenly divided, would
pay no income tax while a very
poor state with a few wealthy
people would pay a considerable
tax.
North Dakota is one of the
wealthiest states, per capita, in
theUn:on. hut it has cotnpara-
lively few inhabitants of great
wealth. The wealth that exists
in the state is more evenly d.
vided than in most states, a
condition highly satisfactory,
conductive to high standards
of living throughout the entire
state Crank Forks Herald.

When q man goes to buy a car, says
the Auto Dealer. there is an excellent
chance for him to exercise a nice judg-
e as to what he ought to have. 1t
used to be that a man would buy as
big and powerful a car as he could
afford to buy. but it might be bigger
and more powerful than he conld well
afford to maintain for the purposes
for which he used It.
