From the above table We may cal
culate that the average individual
with an income below $4,000 pays
approximately SIS tax. The class
with incomes from $4,000 to $4,000
averages s2,275 and those above
s25.oo0 average to pay little less
than s17.50o each.
There is one point which needs
some emphasis. In 1918 less than
100000 persons made income tax
returns. The population of the
United States at that time was over
10o, 900. 900. There should be approx
imately 20.O0O.000 families. Only 20
per cent of this number made in
come tax returns. With the wages
which were prevailing and the prof
its which were being made. IL seems
pretty clear that a good many per-
sons failed to make returns that
should have done so.
1t was pointed out recently that
in 1918 there were approximately
100000 automobiles in the country,
or 100000 more than the number
Of income tax returns. 1t would
seem that either there were a large

graph Company. While acting in
this capacity. the loading of eight
gauge circuits was perfected: phan-
tom cables and phantom loading for
open wires and cables were devel-
open: the New York to Denver cir

hlso the Boston to Washington un-
derground cable. In April. 1912, DR..

neer of the Western Electric Com
pany in charge of all development
and research work. He has been

SOUTHERN BODY
PROMISED HELP
In TARIFF BILL
Fordney Pledges Aid to
Manufacturers and
Agriculturists.
TO PROTECT COTTON
Purpose to Protect Every
thing the South Produces"
President Kirby Hears.

A protective tariff will be given
all Southern agricultural and manu-
factured products in the regular
tariff bill, Chairman Fordney. of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
stated yesterday.
He made this promise Ito John
Henry Kirby, Texas. president OF
the Southern Tariff Association
which appeared before the commit
tee urging protection.
Fordney Is Assured.
Fordney specifically gave assur-
ance that cotton would be given
protective tariff rates and that
hides would be protected. He add
ed: 1T is our purpose to give pro-
lection to everything the South
produces. Also we intend to give
equal protection to every part OF
this country and every industry"
Fordney's promise followed Kir-
by's statement that the South faces
economic destruction because Of for
eign competition of low-cost pro-
duction raw materials and manu-
factures. He said a great business
and industrial revival in the South
will come in tariff equalization II
this foreign competition is given.
Calls on President.
A delegation from the Southern
Tariff Congress also called on Presi-
dent Harding yesterday. They did
not present a memorial they had
prepared. but will send a subcom-
mittee to do this later.
The committee also told the Pres
ident they intended asking him TO
address their convention at Column
bia.

pursued by the Democrats at Wash

Democratic strongholds will become

BETTER DOMESTIC
TRADE In COTTON
Upward Trend on Strength of
Encouraging Facts from
South.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The de-
Velopment of a slightly better do
mestic trade for spot cotton on the
Southern nfarkett this morning than
lately, notably at Memphis, Hous-
ton and also at the Atlantic ports,
together with the comment made in
the weekly government weather and
crop bulletin of the unfavorable ef-
fects of the recent storm and cold
weather on new planting opera
tions, turned the local cotton mar
ket up today after it had shown a
dull and dragging appearance in
the initial trading.
Then May contracts sold at lilo,
July 1890. October Of the new crop
t2.S3 and December 1927. By 3
o'clock May contracts were up to
11.s2, July 1884. October 1905 and
December 1856. This maximum rise
OF about 20 points on May contracts
to % and 81 on the later months
from yesterdays closing quotations
was mostly due to covering of
shorts and a, little better support
from some of the local trade and
Wall Street bull interests encour-
aged by the above developments.
Moreover the weather bureau fore
casts much colder weather again
for the western half of the belt and
further rain for the Central and
Eastern states tonight and tomor-
row. ~ -.
At Liverpool cotton futures closed
steady at a net decline Of IS to- s
English points against the early
maximum decline of o to 13 points
and 10 to 12 due to have met our
closing prices of yesterday. Spots
there were in better demand after
an early decline of 10 points to the
present basis of 7.31d for middling.
AS a consequence the days spot
sales went up to a total of 1000
oales' the largest for some time
past There was, however, no
change in the character OF. the ad-
vances from the Manchester market
or in the conditions at Liverpool
from the fste reports.

Among members of Congress. who
accompanied the farmers and sup

rate reduction. were Represents
tives Campbell, OF Kansas: Clark.
OF Florida: VoiGht. Of Wisconsin.
and Lazaro, of Louisiana. The con-
tention of some of the speakes
that high freight rates were chiefly
responsible for the slump in trafic
was challenged by some of the
members of the commission and by
Traffic Director w ". Hardie, OF
the commission.
Il have talked with about thirty
freight traffic officials and not one
of them has that ides," said Mr.
Hardie. "All admit that high
freight rates constitute a factor in
the situation. but not one has ad-
mitted to- me a conviction or a sus-
picion that they constitute the
factor responsible for the reduction
in the amount Of business the rail-
roads are doing"
The demand that freight rates
be reduced Immediately brought
forth a comment from Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Potter to
the effect that this was impossible.
Urges InvestiEatfen.
Mr.. Barrett, in his opening ad-
dress at the convention OF the
Farmes' Union, advocated a Con-
gressional investigation Of the

NEW YORK. April 2o.-For gen.
eral dullness and ITS professional as
pSct, today's stock market could ind
no equal in the quiet session that
followed the sharp up-turn of last
Friday. A 6h per cent renewal rate,
followed by a rate of per cent on
new loans around mid day, was un-
availing as an urge to more active
participation from the outside. The
market had the same characterts-
tics as yesterdays. Oils still con-
tinued the -favorites although even
this group gave way under profit
taking in the afternoon. Copper
shares moved fractionally higher
and a few specislties were actively
sought after. But on the whole the
market was an uninteresting affair.
New York fractions were weak:
Manhattan Railway guaranteed
stock declining more than s points.
Professionals continued to sell In

suit that the common dropped back
more than points before finding
any support That support did n5t
come until President Dodge had is

The forward movement in Famous

news or rumor of new developments
within the company. The stock went
up easily on a string of purchasing
starting toward the end of the sec
ond hour. and by midday the price
