NEW YORK INCOME
TAX RECEIPTS NOT
UP TO PAST YEARS
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel
NEW YORK, Mar. 16.--New York
awoke yesterday, rubbed its eyes,
yawned and stretched in leisurely
fashion--then suddenly remembered
that its income tax was due.
The eighth annual hurried pilgrim
age OF money makers, men and wom-
en-, to the counting houses of the
revenue collector, continued from
early morning until after dusk.
Subways, elevated and surface
thoroughfares leading to the United
States customs house and its sub
stations bore the throng Of eleventh
hour payees. They swarmed through
the federal buildings from basement
to roof; clogging the revolving doors
and 1ammed the elevators; they filled
the corridors with stream of hur-
rying humanity which eddied to and
from the scores of cashiers cages.
They logged each others elbows
and smeared ink over each others
income blanks. Bales of tax returns
were filed. Bales of others littred
the corridors and piled knee deep
about the offices where hundreds OF
clerks labored feverishly. A few mil
lions in cash poured into the treas
ury.
Special deputy collectors who di-
rected the throngs to their proper
channels, asserted that the rush was
as heavy as in any year since 1914,
when the income tax became an
American institution. IT is not an
ticipated, however, that the income
to the government would be as large
here this year as it was In 1921. they
said. The depression of the last year
was expected to knock several mil
lions from the income tax bill Of the
nation.
Except from the prevalence Of an
increasing number of taNpaying
bootleggers, the component parts of
the throng were indistinguishable
from those of other years. it was said
At the Brooklyn office of the de-
partment, a bootlegger and hook
maker were among those from whom
the government accepted taxes. The
part of the bootleggers annual in
come which he had derived from his
"profession" was not disclosed by the
revenue clerks but 1t was ascertained
that he paid a tax of $4,000 on an in
come of $4,000.
The bookmaker listed his $4,000
income in the column tabled com
missions" He paid a tax of $500.
A commuter who claims a two
acre farm on Long Island, ap-
peared at the Bowling Green office
of the department with a request
that he be permitted to paw his tax,
which amounted TO 1924, in good
seed potatoes"
He was referred to various depart
ments of the revenue office and fin
ally learned the government pre-
ferred the cash.

SAN bLAS. NAYARIT. MEXICO,

who fascinated me. 1T is a million

him. He was such game little
codger.
We lst saw him when we woke
up in the bay of Santa Cruz, 1t was
a perfect morning OF a tropical win

cold enough to make a blanket well
come on the engine house roof as
the fifteen ton Nameless wallowed

pillared house cleaned against the
green background OF the banana

of sorts dropped like a knife thrown
from heave into the water. He cut
SO clean that hardly a drop was
thrown into the air although he in
variably sank his tail feathers in his
headlong dive. Nor Gid he ever
come up without a fish in his bealS.
Porpoises dived and dived and dived,
endessly, until one wearied of watch
ing them. A shaElx's triangular fin
patrolled the entrance to the bay

ROAD OFFICIALS
F AVOR HIGHER
AUTO TAXRATES

The American Association of High
wayOfficials which held its conven-
ton at Omaha. Neb., several days
ago, went on record as favoring a
higher tax on motor vehicles.
1t was resolved that the associa-
tion urge upon all states the fair
ness and the necessity of collecting
an adequate portion of the cost of
highway programs from the users of
motor vehicles. This fair share is
not only the cost of maintenance of
modern highways, but includes also
a fair proportion of the cost of new
construction. because much of this
latter cost is due to the necessity of
adequately providing for motor traf-
fic. 1t was recommended that APP
peals be made to the individual, mo-
torists for his support of policy of
providing for a fair distribution OF
the cost of highway improvement.
1t was stated that in most of the
states the owners of motor vehicles
are paying an insufficient portion of
the cost of the states highway pro-
gram, as compared to the portion of
the cost raised by taxation on gen.
eral property. despite the fact that
the individual owner is always will
ing to pay his fair share of such cost.
The association indorsed the pro-
posal to establish an advisory board
on highway research by the National
Research council. The organization
pledged itself collectively and as in
dividuals TO use it's best efforts to
speed up the properly planned elimi-
nation of grade crossings.

Warns Ford OuUners
Against B gus
Parts On Market

Ed Rudolph has just received in
formation concerning the operations
of concerns manufacturing bogus
Ford parts and their efforts to flood
the country with these limitations.
In connection with this. the Ford
Magazine contained the following ar
ticle last week on bogus Ford parts:
Beware:
Don't be misled by the Axtrava-
CANT claims of bogus Ford mart man
ufacturers. The only safe plan is TO
buy the parts for your Ford from an
authorized dealer and in that way be
sure of getting the genuine article.
For the benefit of those not ac-
quainted with the tactics of unscrup-
ulous imitators. we cite the follow
ing example of unfairness:
zone concern recently advertised
front and rear hubs as identical with
Ford production. The fact of the
matter was that the hubs in question
had passed through a fire which de-
stroyed. the plant of their maker and
made the hubs worthless.
another concern is cutting drive
shaft pinions out of soft bar stock
whereas the regular Ford pinions are
made from drop forgings of alloy
steel and passed through a special
heat treating process. Pistons OF
inferior quality are advertised as be-
ing made by the same factories that
supply the Ford company. In real
ity, Ford is producing his entire res.
quirements OF pistons.
Coil wbrators fitted with lead in
stead of tungsten points are also be-
ing offered TO the trade. f
Insist on genuine Ford parts and
avoid regrets"

HILLS, IN WIRE,
TELLS Of GREAT
SHOW IN GOTHAM

George II. Hills, associated with
Cal Messner in the distribution of
the Lincoln, states in wire to the
Republican that the New York Auto
mobile show is the greatest of its
kind ever held. All four floors of the
great Grand Central palace were oc-
cupied by the wonderful exhibit and
aany cars were shown which are
practically unknown to the great bulk
of American motorists, while manu-
facturers well known by their prod
ucts made use of the New York
exhibition to bring out their latest
creations.
Mr. Hills states that the lack of
freak bodies and colors was very
noticeable. Refinements have made
their appearance in nearly every make
and many cars, he states. as an ex
ample, using steps in place of the
running boards. The drum type Of
headlamp also has won great favor
with the makers.
The Lincoln exhibit, according to
Mr. Hills wire, was among the at
tractive, the entire line being eXhib-
tied. He stated in particular that
the wonderful Lincoln sedan had cre-
ated a near riot. New York weather
came in for a sharp little dig in Mr.
Hills wire. He states that he much
prefers Phoenix sunshine to the bliz-
z2rds of Gotham.
