REVENUES |ND|CA7ELESS
DRINKING AND SMOKING
Government Tax Collections for
November. 1914. Are
Revealed.

Americans seem in 4 good way TO
stop drinking and smoking, estimating
from the balance sheet OF internal rev.
enues for the month Of November. last
year, and the five-month period of
tho fiscal year including that month.
incidentally the taxes paid for almost
revenue tax list excepting beer ap-
pears to have been reduced to meet the
iu"o,n. r,x and the War emergency
tax.
\: that the income ,ax Shows ! col
lection OF $G>.o>4Vl less than during
the month of November of the proceed
ing year. nhe explanation of this is
found in the fact that s317.926.0S of
corporation excise tax paid in Novem-
Der. 1913, was not a tax imposed by
the new income tax law. For the period
ending with November receipts, the
income tax shows an increase of s5,-
415,7SG.10 over collections for the same
period of the preceding year.
War Tax Revenues.
War emergency revenue taxes for
November, 1914, aggregated S:,115,-
701.1O. This was the first month Of
collection. The whole amount is clear
gain to the revenues. and is the total
for 10th month and iivc-mouth period.
The additional tax imposed, for war
revenue emergency purposes. on wines.
spirtuous liquors. ccrdfalS and fer
rncuted liquors, etc, failed to increase
the revenues, except III the case OF
beer, over those OF the preceding
year. Yet this surtaA brought in S4,-
719.295.70 during November and during
the f1ye-month period-which really
means. in this instance, that part OF
October when the tax was collectlblc-
$5.66l ,l14.70.
FOR the fvc-month period the entire
internal revenues, including general.
income aud var emcr-
gen"y taxes. aggrcga'ing Slfi: 900
show an increase of S4,649,000. Yet dur
ing the month of November. the inter-
nal revenue from all these sources. aG-
sregatine scJ.S06,00o, represents a de-
crease of Se,3s 900 under collections OF
the same month in the preceding year.
This rate of falling off would threaten
the existing surplus, and wipe it out
in short time.
Decrease on Spirits.
Spirits produced Sl1,195,000 revenue
in November, IL decrease of $3.O"S,OoO
under collections for the same month
of the preceding year. For the five
month period the aggregate collec-
tions were s66,561,000, a decrease OF
900 for The same period i'll 1913.
Tobacco made Il showing of decreased
revenues to the amount of $4,000 dur
ing November. with aggregate collec-
tious of $6,3a4 .one. For tue tfve-mouth
period the decrease was $4,000, with
total collections Of S34,i16.00n.
Fermented liquors made the only good
showing of any Of the regular sources
Of internal revenue. and then not 50
much SO. With the reduction OF WHISKY
consumption the consumption of beer
usually shows corresponding in
crease i'll revenues. During No.
vember, 1914, there was an i'll
crease of S9S1.U00 in the revenues over
the same month of the preceding year.
with a total collection of S5.652,p00
For the five-month period, however, the
increase was smaller, amounting to
only S770,Oo0, with a total collection OF
31,SS2,00n.
