THINKS FIGURES SHOW
INCOME TAX EMISSIONS
~ International News Service.

~Javra-conn, July 2i.-From
a mathematical study OF income TAX
returns. Professor Irving Fisher. the
Yale university economist. In state
ment made public here To-Day oEaws
the conclusion that a large proper
ITO, ~ persons with incomes near
the lower limit $4,000 for unmarried
ana $4,000 for married menl. are
evading payment
Professor Fisher says:
''one important use Of the income
far statistics Is 20 serve as an index
Of the distribution OF wealth IN the
United states and Its divisions.
.sThe income tax law applies only
~ about one per cent OF the popula-
zion OF the country. and consequently
tina income tax statistics supply US
with data concerning the income OF
only this small portion OF the popula-
ton However, these statistics con-
corning such small part OF our
population may be used as a basis for
n rough approximation to the dig
trihution among a much larger frac-
ton II we may assume that Fareto
formula Appttes even ruugnft.i. %
yond the limits OF our statistical data
'rPare,o found by a study OF a NUM-
Der Of income statistics OF various
countries that the distribution OF
wealth in every case approximately
followed q certain law, such that
II the logarthm OF the figure repre-
renttnr any given income be laid on
on L horizontal axis and the loga-
rt.hYn ef the number of persons nav
ing incomes equal TO or greater than
said income be then laid of vertical
". thus locating one point. and II All
such points be Joined, the resulting
curve will be almost exactly straight
line and with almost the same slope
for every country.
Il have taken tho United States in
come tax statistics for 1915. and plot
ted them as described above. on
doubly logarithmic paper. and found
tina. they fulfilled Pareto's formula
and agreed almost exactly with the
corresponding curve OF Great Brit
ain. The figures for each individual
state treated In the same manner
showed much the same result. the
only region in which the United
states figures did not correspond to
the expectation OF straight line was
ut the top OF the line. where the two
smallest taxable incomes came into
play, 1. O., the $4,000 and $4,000 in
comes. At this upper end the line
curves away from the straight.
This discrepance Is presumably
because tho persons returning income
blanks and paying taxes on small In
comes do not really represent the
number of persons who should be
paying taxes on these incomes: In
other words, that at the border line
between taxable and non-taxable in
comes a considerable number OF per-
sons evade taxation. either through
direct intent or through lack of real
ization that they should make re-
furna"
