',lic hard" group Of conservatives in
Parliament, who for several months
past. have been advocating the with
drawal of the party from the Coalition
and its resumption Of its normal party
organization.
Tic life of tho new Conservative
Ministry will probably hc very brief.
according. to present forecasts. and n
general election is expected swiftly to
follow It's formation.
The party lines upon which the cleo

Mr.. Lloyd George may form a Centre
Party. in which hc could count upon
Austen Chamberlain and Lord Birken-
head. nnl perhaps Lord l'nlfour. the
three Cabinet members whose ndhcr
cncc to him has been repudinted BY to-

This new party. It is suggested
would probably command tho supuort

and also Of the Coalition Liberals. This
formation might put the labor Party

Two events Of Yesterday are consid

The second was the decision Of the
committee Of the rnionist organization
TO hold an emergency meeting to con-
slider the course Of the party. because

aggregate OF $4.05O, 066,61S, while the
group of super-millionaires had to con-
tent themselves with an aggregate in
come of only $77.07S, 139. But the in
come of $4,000, 066,618 received by the
relatively poor people had to be di-
vided among 2,671, $50, while the super

with an aggregate income of only ST.

1S5,0S5 That the rich people of the

millionaires with fortunes above $10,-

When Poor Millionaires Flourished.
In fact, the high point for single
millionaires, that is possessors of ST.
900, 900 yielding incomes of 100000
a year was not reached until 1919,
which was three years after the high
point for the super-millionaires had
been passed In fact every class of
lesser millionaires from the impov-
erished possessors of a mere million
up to those with $4,000, 900 or $4,000
900 was more numerous in 1920 than
in 1914, when the war started; where
as there are but half as many super
millionaires shown for 1920 as for
1914
The $1,000, 900 fortune seems to be
about the most steady. OF these, pay
ing incomes of 100000 year, there
were 233 in 1914; 3S6 in 1915; 726 in
1916; 703 in 1917; 401 in 1918; 522
| in 1919, and 307 in 1920 "A steady,

over 1914 are notable also.
There were in 1914, lat possessors

There were 1902 in that class alone

The possessors of these great for
tunes are the persons who pay the

the average tax paid by the man with
a $4,000 income in 1920 was but $3.50
the average tax paid by the single
millionaire was $39,519.71, and the
average tax paid by the super-million
aire was $1,490,45712
In the aggregate the large numbe'

more income than the super-million

the number of persons having incomes
of 100000 a year was 2,2S8. Add the
so supermillionaires and a grand total
of 2, 348 is obtained This was the
year in which the European war broke
out
Taking this same definition of mil
lionaires, there were in 1915 some
3,704 of them, and with the super
millionaires added, grand total of
1924 The figures for 1916 show 6,427,
with 206 super-millionaires to add. CIV
ing grand total of 6.633. In 1917 the
number was 6,523, and with the super
millionaires 1864. This was the high
tide for the combined showing. The
high tide for the super-millionaires
was 1916, when there were 206.
In 1917 there were but 141. But
the classes ranging down to the
normal single millionaires reached
their zenith in 1917. In 1918 there
were 4,432 normal millionaires and 81
uper-millionaires or total of 4,499;
in 1919, there were 5,461 normal mil
lionaires and IS super-millionaires or
a total of 1926; in 1920 there were
1915 normal millionaires and 93 super
millionaires, or a total of 3,649. This
is the last year for which figures have
been compiled, but it is expected that
1921 and 1922 will show still further
decreases in all these classes.
For the purpose of this computation,
it has been arbitrarily assumed that
the millionaires made returns of 10
per cent and our classification has
been worked back from this hypoth
esis. Doubtless there are many pos.
SCISSORS of $1,000,000 earning but pei
cent on their fortunes. If this classi
| fication be included, the total number
of millionaires is greatly swelled-

per cent yield on $1,000. 000-there
were 5,161 in 1914. These added tC
the 2,34S of the higher classes, would
give total of 1909 for 1914. The

millionaires are: 6,847 for 1915, or &

Lo, The Poor Millionaire!
BY FREDERIC ). nAsKIN

WASHINGTON. July 27.-The term
millionaire may mean one thing or it
may mean another. To the average
person millionaire is a man who is
the fortunate possessor If $1,000, 900.
10 some of those who study statistics
OF incomes published by the Internal
Revenue bureau of the treasury, a mil
honaire is not one who possesses
merely million dollars, but one who
has an income of 100000 Such a
man must possess fortune of many
millions of dollars.
The vicissitudes of these super-mil
honaires, most of whom were created
by the war, is an interesting story.
There may be some fiction in it also.
1t is difficult to determine whether
the statistics reflect actual vicissE
tudes of fortune or jugglery of fig
ures, but the figures must be taken
at their face value and the assumption
made that they constitute true re-
port. If that be true, the super-mil-
lionaires of the United States came
and went in the war years as summer
insects come and go, but there are
many still buZZing around.
In 1914, the first year in which the
great war in Europe changed the face
of the world and turned the channels
of business, there were go persons in
the United States who reported in
comes of s1,000,000 a year or more.
The internal revenue has no higher
classification than this, but it is said
that if the classifications were carried
upward, it would be found that there
are incomes of s10,000,000 a year and
more
BY 1915 the crop of super million
aires had doubled There were 12C
persons who returned 4ncome of ST.
100000 a year and over. In 1916 the
number had reached 205 That was
the peak. IN 1917 the figures had fal
len to 141; but in 1918 it was 81; in
1919, 65; and in 1920 there were but
SO Americans reporting incomes OF
$1,000, 600 a year and over.
When They Dwindied.
Observers of these matters see co
incidence in the fact that the great
incomes began to dwindle in the same
year that the United States entered
the war and laid heavy taxes and sur
taxes on incomes. The figures are
supposed to give, not the taxable IN
come merely, but the total net income
That is, these amounts were returned
whether taxable or not. The po1n
has been made that the great income:
did not actually fall on when thu
United States entered the war, 81
sharply as has been indicated, bu
that by some mysterious manipulation
they were kept out of the returns
That may be fact and it may be thai
the beneficiaries of these vast in
comes, realizing that large proper
ton of their funds would be taken b,
the income tax collector, began il
1916 to distribute their property t
heirs or to dissipate it in other ways
If the normal definition of mil
lionaire is used, the statistics ar
astounding. Assuming that million
aire is one who has an estate wort
ST, 000, GOO the numbers can be al
rived at by assuming that each re
ceives an income of 10 per cent o.

Also avoid soaps and other
alkalies

Dental authorities now agree that the ideal denti-
frce should contain soaps or other alkaline ingre-
dents. These work against Nature; they lessen
the natural saliva flow and hasten tooth decay.
Mild fruit acids on the other hand, such as
Lsterine Tooth Paste contains, aid Nature In
preserving the teeth.

for which saliva is provided. Again notice the clean

are clean.
