in intervening income classes. reporting in
comes up to $4,000. From that point on
through the higher incomes classes a steady
decrease is recorded.
The total number of corporations that
filed returns in 1918 was approximately
$4,000. These do not include personal
service corporations of which there we're
$500. OF the total reporting, 100000 cor
porations returned net incomes aggregat-
ing SS.4OO,OO0.0 900 on which the income
tax amounted to $653,000,000 and the war
profits and excess profits tax, 50, .000,-
600. making total tax Of s3,159. 900, 900,
which was approximately 3S per cent OF
their net income.
The number of corporation returns for
1915 was less than in 1917 by $4,000, and
although the net income reported was also
below the amount for 1917 by $2.37O, OO0,-
600, the tax exceeded the amount for 1917
by S1,017,000,000 The decrease in the
number Of returns filed by corporations in
1918, it is explained. was due largely to
changes made in the system of reporting
incomes.
These general facts regarding the tax
able wealth OF tho nation in 1918 are mat
ters of keen interest. 1t is unfortunate that
they are not available for two years after
the end OF the taxable year. but the govern
ment has evolved no plan so far whereby
the taxation information may be placed
before the public with less delay.

Wood and the Philippines

n view OF this country's growing inter
csts in the Pacific. the Presidents ap-
rointment of General Leonard Wood as
Governor General of the Philippine Islands,
is one OF the wisest and most important that
he has made since the naming OF his Cabi-
net advisers. While the acceptance of the
position removes General Wood from the
regular army some three or four years be-
fore he reached the age OF permanent re-
tircment, his decision to forcgo the oppor
tuntios of further military service with
the honors which might accrue to his po-
sition rs senior major-general in the event
OF this country engaging in foreign war,
which were arbitrarily denied him during
the world war, is all to his credit. He has
not retired from the public service. On the
contrary. he steps into a place Of greater
responsibility than that which he has left.
AS Governor General OF the Philippines -
says the Chicago Tribune. General Wood
will be situated at one OF ...e critical salient
points OF our boundar es at time when is
sues of far extending consequences press for
decision. 1t Is gratifying and reassuring to
the American people that the President rec
Cgnizng the experience. character, and
demonstrated abilities Of General Wood has
placed him there His prestige alone will
remove good part of the difficulty asso-
ciatcd with our situation in that part of the
world. He knows the Filipinos and. which
is even more important. perhaps, the Fill
pinos know him as a statesman, soldier, adj
ministrator. and friend of true progress in
the islands
Moreover, General Wood has demon
sratcd that he is no novice in the art of
diplomacy. II ii be possible for the Japan
csc to understand the American viewpoint
as to the rightfulncss OF its position in re-
spcct TO interests in the Pacific. General
Wood is peculiarly fitted for presenting
and urging that viewpoint The Japanese
recognize in him tho leading advocate of
preparedness. the man whose foresight and
constructive imagination conceived the
Plattsburg idea and thereby made the ma
tional army Of 1917 possible and as such
he will be accorded that respect due TO so
distinguished ''foresighter" in ali the re-
lations with which he may have with their
government as the administrator Of Philip
pine affairs.

Coming.
What mortals breathe and have their being
here
Upon this troubled globe, this worried sphere,
Going from day to day, to sit alright
Thinking OF overhead the livclonS night
Now do they Srievc and count their pennies
out,
Dripping with sweat caused by cankcring
doubt,
Thinking of things that ride the seasons roll,
Thinking of plumbing bills, and bins and coal!
On every breeze that brings Its message In
Comes grim reminder OF an empty bin
y Borcan pufr-a spuddcr in the sky,
The hurryinG geese. due Southwark dying
high,
These things remind us OF the pains there arc
Approaching on this so uncertain Star.
And as we think Of coal and count each cent
1t is "the winter of discomfort"
