Uncle Sam
THINKS MORE HAVE
PAID THIS YEAR

Yesterday was the last day for III
ing income tax returns for the pres
ent year. Throughout the day the
office Of Harry T. Graham. internal
revenue collector was crowded.
Mr.. Graham said this morning II
would be impossible for several days
at least to announce the amount OF
the last days receipts. At noon
eight large mail sacks. containing
returns remained TO be opened and
will require several days for opening
and tabulating.
The eleventh hour rush. the bur-
den Of which fell upon tired clerks,
found the force willing to continue
to figure tax and surtax for every
one. While the field force occupied
the corridor where extra desks had
been placed TO accommodate the
crowd. another force spent the
larger part OF the night opening the
heavy mail which has been piling
up during the last few days. The
regular force and field force breath
ed a sigh Of relief when midnight
sounded. For fifteen days the force
had worked,until Q p. M. and often
times much later.
4 Mr.. Graham hazarded the predic-
/ tion that when the final cent Is
counted il will be found that more

year than ever before, but that they

work during the previous part OF tho

Of Delaware with the obligation "a

tending TO increase the number OF
taxpayers was shown in the ex-serv

pointed out that all who are liabl,
