unconfined that the police arrested the

The report says that only one out

ceivers in the United States in 1918
had incomes of $4,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had IA per cent
of the national income. Five per cent.

the most prosperous 20 per cent, in

out Of which were paid rent, interest

to labor, while in 1919 capitals share

Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons in 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9O8,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-
ceived in 1918 about half a billion dol
lars less than it would have, if all

about one-third, or 1S billions. On
