\ NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 19-FrOm
\ mathematical study of income tax
returns, Professor Irving Fisher, the
Yale University economist, in a state
ment made public here today draws
the conclusion that large proper
tion of persons with incomes near
the lower limit $4,000 for unmarried
and $4,000 for married mem, are evad-
ing payment
Professor Fisher says
"One important use vf the income
tax statistics is to serve as an index
of the distribution of wealth in the
United States and its divisions.
1.-THE income tax law applies only
to about one per cent of the popula-
ton of the country, and consequently
the income tax statistics supply us
with data concerning the income of
only this small portion of the popu-
lation. However, these statistics con-
cerning such a small part of our pop
ulatiOn may be used as basis for a
rough approximation to the distribu-
ton among a much larger fraction if
we may assume that ParetOs formu-
la applies, even roughly, beyond the
limits of our statistical data.
"Pareto found by study of a num-
ber of income statistics of various
countries THAI the distribution of
wealth in every case approximately
followed a certain law, such that,
if the logarithm of the figure repre-
senting any given income be laid off
on a horizontal axis and the logarithm
of the number of persons having in
comes equal to or greater than said
income be then laid off vertically
thus locating one point, and if all
4 such points be Joined, the resulting
curve will be almost exactly a straight
line and with almost the same slope
for every country.
Il have taken the United States in
come tax statistics for 1916 and plot
ted them as described above, OF
doublylogarithmic paper and found
that they fulfilled Pareto's formula
and agreed almost exactly with the
corresponding curve for Great Brit
ain. The figures for each individual
\state treated in the same name
Moved much the same result Th'
only region in which the Unitet
States figures did not correspond tC
the expectation of a straight line wa
at the top of the line, where the tw,
smallest taxable incomes came int
play; /. e., the $4,000 and $4,000 in
comes. At this upper end the lin
curves away from the straight.
"This discrepancy is presumabl
because the persons returning incom
blanks and paying taxes on small in
comes do not really represent tn
number of persons who should b
paying taxes on these incomes; i
other words, that at the border lin
between taxable end non-taXable in
comes a considerable number of pei
sons evade taxation, either throug
direct intent or through lack Of rea
ization that they should make re
turns"

said to be considering making suf-

during which it is unwise to have the
attention of the nation diverted from
the great issue of the war.
The lie passed in the senate toda.
when Senator Reed, of Missouri start

the pure food bill placing its admin

declared that Reed had cross examin

sion VIII Help Cause
Present Plan of Government Is to
Use Only $4,OOO,OOO of the Total
Appropriation of $2OOOO,OOO
Voted.

Interest in the possibility OF getting
the permanent nitrate plan at Twin
Falls Will not be diminished even IL
the temporary plant should go else
where. Although it is announced that
water power will not be required for
the $4,OOO,00O plant now under con-
temptation, folks here see no reason
why this should not be located in this
city, and if so, why the $16,OOO,OOO ap-
prOpriated should not follow, when
the plan to use water power is car
ried into effect. AS far as the latter
is concerned, the delay Will probably
tell in favor of this city, according to
those observing it, as it is possible
that if built now it would go to one
of the older states. 1t is felt that
the longer the Twin Falls site is dis
cussed the more alluring it will seem.
| The following is the Washington dis
/ patch on the subject:
Secretary Baker announced today

trate from atmospheric nitrogen are
| to be constructed imm ediately at "a
cost of $4,OOO,OOO and that water pow
er would not be used. Sites have not

1t has been assumed ever since the
great nitrate project was proposed
that vast supply of water power
would be needed. Consequently sites
with water power have been supposed
to be the only ones likely to get con
sideration. Muscle Shoals of th'
! Tennessee river was one of the place:
most strongly urged during the lie
bates in congress.
Congress appropriated $20,000,00C
for the project. Apparently the entire
expenditure contemplated by the wal
department is one-fifth of that sum.
Informally officials explained tha'
todays announcement did not NEAR

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 19.-Out

their estate caretakers and trying to
forget they are owners of fine yachts
and seven passenger automobiles, be-

You can't pick them out because no

because they eat with the relish of
men who have labored hard and
breathed in the open twenty-four
hours of the day.
In the words of Captain j. c. Can't

''They are all just red-blooded
Americans, the finest in the country,
trying to do their patriotic duty, and
we do not propose that some of them
shall be singled out, ,distressingly,
maybe, to themselves"
But they are there. Scads of 'em.

the school is young, judging from the
