Income Tax Diserepancles.
The report estimates that the mum.
Der Of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 5.S00y0OO, and that
their total income was over 23 billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S,OOO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than IA billion dol
lars This discrepancy Is due In part
to technical evasions and straight ille-
gal withholdings, but also In part to
the existence Of tax-exempt income.
What this means In terms Of the In
come tax Is that the government re-
celved in 1918 about half a billion dol
lars less than 1t would have, II all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.

But the report points out that II they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense Of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or IS billions. On
that basis. the bureau gives the follow
