THINKS FIGURES SHOW
INCOME TAX EVASI0NS

NEW HAVEN. Conn, July ~
From mathematical study Of in
come tax returns. Prof Irving Fish
CT. the Yale university economist. in
statement made public here today
draws the conclusion that a large
proportion OF persons with incomes
near the lower limit $4,000 for un-
married and $4,000 for married
mem, are evading payment.
Prof. Fisher says:
"One important use OF the income
tax statistics is to serve as an index
OF the distribution Of wealth in the
United States and its divisions.
The income tax applies only to
about one percent Of the population
Of the country, and consequently the
income tax statistics supply US with
data concerning the income of only
this small portion Of the population.
However. these statistics concerning
such small part Of our population
may be used as a basis for a rough
approximation 10 the distribution
among a much larger fraction if we
may assume that Pareto's formula
dHDlAtcs even lUuElllNs lEN Gnu AAAN
limits Of our statistical data.
"Pareto found by a study of a
number of income statistics Of va
rious countries that the distribution
of wealth in every case approximate
ly followed a certain law. such that.
if the loga rithm of the figure rep
resenting any given income be laid
off on a horizontal axis and the loga-
rithm of the number of persons hav-
ing incomes equal to or greater than
said income be then laid off vertical
~. thus locating one point, and if
all such points be joined. the re-
sulting curve Will be almost exactly
straight line and with almost the
same slope for every country.
Il have taken the United States
income tax statistics for 1916 and
plotted them as described aobve, on
doubly lOgarithmic 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 manner
showed much the same result. The
| only region in which the United
States figures did not correspond 10
| the expectation Of a straight line
was at the top Of the line. where the
two smallest taxable incomes came
into play, i. g. the $4,000 and $4,000
incomes. At this upper end the line
curves away from the straight.
This discrepancy is presumably
because the persons returning in
come blanks and paying taxes on
small incomes do not really repre-
sent the number OF persons who
should be paying taxes on these in
comes. in other words, that at the
border line between taxable and
non-taXable incomes a considerable
number of persons evade taxation.
either through direct intent or
through lack of realization that they
should make returns"

ENCYCLOPEDIA TO BE
ISSUED IN 144 VOLS.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Adolph
Lewisohn. millionaire banker at
whose palatial home the Russian
mission stayed while in New York.
has announced his intention of fl
nancing a new American encyclOpe-
die library, embracing the entire
field of human knowledge.
The new work will be in "a sets
of six volumes each, each evolution
of some race. The first set will be
the Slavonic encyclopedia, which
will be devoted TO the racial, social
and political development of the
people The library will include a
more complex and detailed history
of the evolution of the United States
than has ever been published. The
editorial board will he made up of
noted savants from American uni
versities
Dr. Isidor Singer. managing edi-

This encyclopedia library DR..
Singer said. will be the first at

our institutions Of learning on the
same level with sthe celebrated insti-
tutions Of learning in Europe"
Adolph Lewisohn, whose finan-
ciaI backing will make the publica-
ton Of the encyclopedia library pos
sible. has made numerous gifts in
the cause of education and philan-
thropy. He is the donor of the
building for the Columbia university
school OF mines and the City College
stadium. Il was made clear that
Mr. Lewisohn's furtherance Of the
library was in the nature Of an Of
fering TO celebrate his 5Oth anniver-
sary in this country. He was born
i'm Hamburg. Germany, and arrived
i'm this country on Aug. !, 1867.
II was stated that the extent to
which the banker would finance the
library would depend largely upon
the success which each section OF
the encyclopedias would meet upon
publication. II was clearly minated,
however. that Mr.. Lewisohn intend
