THE FLOOD OF GOLD
INTO TREASURY GROWS
Amount Has EcIipsed Al! Previous
Records-lncome Tax Is
Chief Source.

Washington.-The amount of gold
flowing into the treasury these days
from ordinary sources Of taxation
has sclipsed all previous records. For
the first "a days Of May 1t aggregated
$159, 057 ,267, bringing the total for the
fiscal year up $794,567,337, or ap-
proximately 5000, 100000 more than a
year ago which then stood as a new
high record.
Internal Revenue Taxes Gain.
The chief source Of revenue thus
far in May has been the income tax,
which has yielded $88,714,922, against
$3,835,834 for the corresponding
period last year. The tremendous in.
crease is attributed to the patriotism
of the taxpayers, who, believing the
government needs the money, are
making their payments a month
earlier this year than formerly. Of
ficials estimate that the income tax
will yield approximately 1886, 900, 0OO
this year, which is more than $4,000,
900 in excess of the sum estimated
last fall when the amendment in
creasing the tax was enacted.
Next in size are payments Of in
ternal revenue on whisky, beer
cigars and cigarettes. Those pay
ments, totaling $3S,597,474 for May
are SO per cent higher than for the
same period last year. The increase
in these taxes is attributed to what
some officials term lack of patri
tism, or the desire of owners of the
commodities to get them out Of bond
ed warehouses before the taxes are
doubled under the war revenue bill
now pending in congress.
Customs Receipts Increase.
Customs receipts, $22,61s.219, show
an increase Of approximately $500,
900, and miscellaneous taxes, includ
ing the thousand and one smaller
sources of revenue, jumped more
than 100 per cent, to $9,126,652. vir
tually the only tax which did not ex
coed expectations was the tax on mu
nitions, and this has fallen somewha
under the sum estimated as its yield
Total receipts for the month are ap
proximately three and one-half time,
as much as they we're a year ago.
