What Our Rich Folk Pay
Collector Disclosed
Here
BY WHIT HADLEY.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Did you
know that two men in the United
States confessed to the collector of
internal revenue, Big Bill'' Ed
wards, that their net personal in
comes last year were in excess of
three million dollars?
Did you know that John D. Rookie
feller not only had personal in
come of sixty million dollars, but
drew a check for $38,400,00 and
mailed it to the government as his
income tax contribution?
Some amazing figures, running
close to the billion dollar mark, are
made public by Edwards through Of
flcial reports now in the hands Of
the commissioner of internal revenue
at Washington.
28 Huge Incomes.
Twenty-eight gentlemen admitted,
it seems, having incomes during
1920 of $2,000,000 up, while 13 9TH
ers said languidly they received be-
tween a million and half and two
millions.
The late H. C.. Frick had $11, $780,
600 income and out of it the govern
ment got $7,160,000.
Two other men frolicked about
with seven million and half and
each paid the government $4,800,-
900. They were George F, Baker and
William Rockefeller.
Edward S. Harkness and J. Ogden
Armour were taxed to the tune of
S6,250,0O0. They paid the govern
ment flat four million each, while
Henry Ford and w. K. Vanderbilt
as well as Edward H. r. Green, hav-
ing each five million dollars on their
hands during the year, disposed of
100000 of it by sending it to the
government in the form of a certi-
fled check.
Vast Fortunes.
These figures appear as personal
incomes and do not, of course, rep
resent the staggering principles that
yielded so golden flow.
If, for example, Rockefeller's net
income was sixty million dollars and
this sum represented only per cent
interest on the principle, the princi-
pie itself must have been on billion
dollars.
In like fashion Prick must have had
capital of $187, 100000 to return
him $11, ,250,000 in interest.
The records announce that 28 of
the richest taxpayers are scattered.
About IA came from New York,
two from Delaware, one from Michi-
gan, one from Ohio, two from Penn
sylvania, one from Rhode Island, two
from Texas and five from Massa-
chusetts.
Astor's Stipend.
Vincent Astor's income amounted
to $3,750,000 during 1920, and he
paid tax of $2,400,000.

Heard Of Sumter S Fine
Plantation System
In Arkansas

Bringing the word that they had
been told in Arkansas by farmers
who visited Sumter county by spe-
cial train last August that they
would find what they were looking
for here-a wei delevolped planta-

W S in this vicinity studying farm
management as practiced by the
leading large planters here.
They have already been at work
nine months, starting at Corpus
Christi, Tex, and working eastward
through the Southern states. Six
weeks will be devoted to Georgia,
two of them to be spent here, and
another six weeks in the Carolinas
and other states to the east, which
will wind up their tour.
They hope soon to issue two or
three preliminary bulletins for the
benefit of the farmers in preparing
for next years crops, and later their
complete permanent report will come
in bulletin form. Their trip is for
the development of a permanent, not
an immediate, farm program, Mr..
Brannen pointed out. eve cannot
alter marketing conditions, much as
that might be desirable or necessary,
for outside help cannot do that" he
said, "and we are therefore confin-
ing ourselves to Investigations and
observations for a permanent pro-
gram"
Particularly 1T this time the
farms are dis6rganized," said Mr..
Brannen in Agply to queries about
Athe purpose Vand objects of the in
1Vestigation. "The planters have
large investments and large respon
conditions upset and other conditions
which have disheartened them. We
are trying to take advantage of this
particular period to help the farmer
by showing him how to systematic
and organize his farm to the great
est advantage. We are studying the
best methods we can find in opera
tion of plantation organization,
handling of labor, renting arrange
ments, accounting systems, advanc-
ing systems, cropping systems, diver
sification-in fact, everything per-
tanning to plantation operation, en-
bracing the very best methods of or
ganizing the various enterprises
making up a plantation.
1--WE cannot hope to help the
farmers this year; it is up to them
to organize themselves and get
through the year as best they can.
But we do hope to complete our in
vestigation in time to give them
the benefits so that our recommend
ations may be applied for next years
operations and a real constructive
program be developed"
