OFFICIALS SAY
Revenues Estimated at

crue to Uncle Sam Eac1
Year as Result of Boost
PUBLIC GETS IT IN THE
NECK SAME AS USUAL
Added Income viii Result
From Increased TfanSpor-
tation Taxes on Freight
and Passenger Rates


Washington, Aug. (by the AS
sociated Press) Increased reve-
nues. officially estimated at $780,
000,0 annually will accrue to the
treasury in the advance in railroad
transportation rates. The added
income, officials said tonight,
would be derived from increased
transportation taxes-paid by the
public---as well as through opera
tion of the income and excise pro-
visions of the revenue laws.
Transportation taxes for the
year ending June 80 aggregated
approximately $2Sl,000,000. This
was made up from the per cent
tax on freight charges, amounting
to $125,O00,000; the per cent on
passenger tickets. supplying $780,
900, ,000, and the per cent tax on
Pullman charges, producing $6,-
500, 900.
Should the present traffic con-
tinue all of these amounts would
be increased. On this basis. reveA
nue. officials calculate the addi-
tional taxes will aggregate $685.
$4,000 on freight. $18,700,000 on
passenger. and $3,500,000 on Pull
man charges.
Another source of revenue would
be from income taxes against rail-
road corporations. Railroad eXecu-
tives expect many carriers to earn
sufficiently large returns under the
new rates to compel payment of
income taxes for the first time
since pre-war days, Il - from this
source that the treasury expects
to obtain a large portion of the re-
naming 100000 of their $780,
000,0 estimate. Officials place
the amount from income taxes
conservatively at $30,000,000
year.
The wage award Of $500 100000
a year also will produce a certain
return to the government, for 1t
places most railroad employees un-
der the income tax laws. Amounts

small but, 1t was pointed eiis. rsl.-
road employees number. more than
2.00O,0 900. From this number. of
ficials believed the taxes would ag-
gregate probably $4,000, 900"
Officials also are studying the
indirect effect the rate increase will
have on revenue produced by the
excise and miscellaneous taxes.
