Madison.-That the receipts under

Gus and this prosperity shows in the
amount of income subject to taxation"
said Mr.. Haugen. 1T may be- however,
that the increase in the tax will come
largely from the corporations as this
prosperity had scarcely reached the
individual by that time. The returns
are now being tahulated in the differ
ent counties Of the state for the indi-
vidual income taxes, and these results
Will soon be available"
Mr.. Haugen said that from the
standpoint Of the manufacturer the
