M|LL|ONA|RES GROW
LIKE WEEDS IN U. S.
TWENTY THOUSAND PERSONS
ARE CREDITED WITH IN
COMES OF $4,000 EACH.
MANY IN S2,OOO,OOO.OO CLASS

One-haIf of Country's Richest Men
Live in New York State. Two
Have Incomes of 100000 and
1872 With 100000 Dollars.
WASHINGTON. - Millionaires
are growing as fast as weeds in the
United States. Already about 10000
residents of this country have sworn
that their incomes during 1919 reach
ed $4,000 year. And a man with
an income of $4,000 is classed as
millionaire" inasmuch as that is the
lowest probable return on $1,OOO,O0O.
However, not all these million
aires" are actually the possessors OF
81, 100000 Men with incomes of $5O,-
600 as salaries, would come in this
classification, and many of these have
no large sums in bank. Some, indeed,
live on their salaries, and have no in
vestments.
In $4,000 Class.
But contrasted with these million
aires" are the 100000 persons IN the
United States whose incomes are $2,-
600 or less. The internal revenue bu-
reau estimates that half the 100000
600 individuals, who have rendered
statements, come within the $4,000
class.
There are two men in the country
who have incomes above 100000
annually, twenty eight with incomes
above S2,000,000, and thirteen who
struggle along with incomes between
$500, 900 and 100000. 1t is said
that one hundred and sixty-two have
incomes of $1,000, 900, and that ninety
possess incomes of more than $750,O00.
Officials said on Saturday that 49,
600 men had incomes of $4,000 to
$750,000.
Many Rich Men.
Among the rich men there are 1,27O
in the $4,000 to 100000 income class;
9O1 in the 100000 to $4,000 class;
$50 who have $4,000 to $4,000; 472
who have $4,000 to 100000; 3T4
who have 100000 to 100000; 1904
who have 100000 to $4,000; 476
who have $15O,00O to 100000; 263
who have 100000 to $25O,00O; 13l
who have $250,000 to 100000; 134
who have 100000 to 100000; "a
who have 100000 to $4,000.
Of the twenty-eight richest men in
the United States, one-half live in
New York state; two of them reside
in Delaware, and are said to have en-
gagged in munitions making on a large
scale. Another, whose name is cele-
brated, lives in Michigan. One lives
in Ohio, two in Pennsylvania, one IN
Texas and one in Rhode Island.

Federal prohibition Officials now
have no authority to destroy conlls-

of the opposing forces, which
are expected to clash within a few
months on the question of modification
|of the Volstead law.
The bonded liquor is worth at least
$3.50, 100000, or at least SIS gallon,
according to present bootleg prices,
but many drys point out that the
liquor originally cost its owner much
less than IS a gallon. Hundreds OF
owners bought warehouse certificates,
drys say, after the states ratified the
prohibition amendment. The drys
contend that the public purse should
not be looted" in this fashion. I'm
der the prohibition laws the liquor
may not be exported and its sale may
be permitted only for non-beverage
purposes. Drys say that twenty-five
years must pass if the liquor is to be
sold legally for non-beverage pur-
poses, They argue, therefore, that
the whisky has very slight market
possibilities and can be worth only a
small fraction OF what it originally
cost to manufacture.
