sM,erANkA's GOOD RECORD.

Twenty.three million dollars IL the
amount Of taxes from all sources
which experts estimate will be paid to
Uncle Sam by the taxpayers Of the
northern district Of Illinois for the
year ending December 81. This will
be an increase of more than $4,000.
900 over the figures for last year.
which were $16,911,722.13.
julius F. Smietanka, collector Of in
ternal revenue for the district, with
headquarters in the federal building,
and his staff Of assistants, are now
gathering figures on the years collec.
tons.
Beer Is shown as the chief revenue
producer for the government In this
district, according to the figures. al.
ready compiled for eleven months
II produced more revenue to the gov.
eminent than both the individual and
corporation income taxes combined.
While beer shows an increase over
the figures Of last year, spirituous
liquors have neck.and-neck race to
show up as strong as they did last
year.
The "war tax" 80 II IL estimated.
will return about 100000 In taxes
to the government from this district.
but this is divided among a number
Of articles.
For the eleven months ended No.
vember 30. the total receipts Of the
district are $21.443.452.22. which hg.
ure the experts expect to 60 to $685..
100000 before the present month anu

turned to the government. This IL
greater than for the entire twelve
months Of last year. when beer re.
turned a little more than 36,015.409.92
In revenue.
Spirits returned to the government
$398.517 In the eleven months ending
Nov 30 of this year. which Is barely
on par with the S436.026.0b received
from the same source for the twelve
months Of last year.

$645. 269.S8. From cigars In the same
period the government received rev.
enue Of $583,317.85.
The comparison OF the returns from
beer and the income tax sources Ia
very striking.
In the eleven months In question
the government collected a total Of
| $6.425. 466.60 In both individual and
corporation income taxes. OF this
sum the figures show that the greater
portion. or $3.242.303.62 was paid by
