j. TREASURY I
RECEIPTS SMASH
ALL HIGH MARKS
Nearly S800,000,000 Is Re-
Ceived This Fiscal Year,

WASHINGTON. May %. -- The
amount of gold flowing into the treasury
these days from ordinary sources OF
taxation has eclipscd all previous rec
ords. For the first twenty-four days Of
May it aggregated $lso,0S ,267, bring
ing the total for the fiscal year UP to
S9+, 5o7 ,3N, or approximately $4,000
600 more than year ago, which then
stood as a new high record.
The chief source of revenue thus far
in May has been the income tax which
has yielded $88.7l4922, against S8JS,-
8A for the corresponding period last
year The tremendous increase is at
tributed to the patriotism OF taxpayers
who, believing the government needs the
money are making their payments a
month earlier this year than formerly,
Next in size are payments OF internal
revenue on whisky, beer, cigars and
cigare,s. These payments. totaling $685.
s97, ,474 for May, are SO percent higher
than for the same period last year. The
increase IN these taxes is attributed to
what some officials term a lack Of
patriotism, or the desire OF owners OF
the commodities to get them out Of
bonded warehouses before the taxes are
doubled under the war revenue bill, now
pending in congress.
