RETAIL SALE OF F0RDS
SHOWS RAPID INCREASE
Rush of Orders Boost April
Output to 1O1s 164 Cars;
Banner Year Ahead

Ford retail sales showed rapid
increase in volume during March,
says a report from the Ford Motor
Company, Detroit, and have neces-
slated the building Of 101, 164 Ford
cars and trucks in April in order to
meet the requirements.
This is the largest output Of Ford
cars ever scheduled for April, being
10000 above the same month of a
year ago. 1t also marks an early
opening of the spring and summer
buying and seems to indicate that
even more Ford cars and trucks will
be sold in 1922 than in 1921, which
was banner year.
Orders for Ford cars and trucks
have already exceeded the supply in
many parts of the country and pur-
chasers are finding it necessary to
accept deferred delivery. The Ford
factory at Detroit is getting into
capacity production as fast as posi-
BILE, with the hope of preventing a
similar shortage when the spring
rush begins.
Ford dealers throughout the Uni
ted States are urging Ford customers
to place their orders early and thus
prevent the possibility Of having to
wait for delivery. Adv. ID Alt

RECORDS SHOW MILLIONS
EVADE INCOME TAX LAW
BY Charles Sughroe
O Western Newspaper Union
CONTINUED From Page II

under the law did not do so, and
thereby made themselves subject to
fine or imprisonment.
Not all of these 100000 to 20,
900, 900 would have had to pay taxes.
In millions of case the exemptions
provided under the law would have
wiped out the payment. But accord
ing to the law which is perfectly plain
and has been repeatedly stated in
newspapers and otherwise, every per-
son with an income of $1,000 or more
is required 10 make return, whether
he as to pay tax or not
In other words from one third to
a half Of the wage earners in the
United States appear to have been
tax dodgers in the year 1919-the
latest year for which the figures are
available. And there is no reason to
believe that conditions were nay bet
ter in 1913. 1920 or 1921.
Dodsing Their Duty as Citizens
Surely no more amazing fact re-
garding the people CT this country
was ever revealed! The theory Of
the government of the United States
is founded on the voluntary co-opera-
ton of every citizen. If it can be
shown that half the wage earners
deliberately evaded this obligation,
that they break an important law,
and risk fine or Imprisonment in
doing so, it is a fair inference that
something is very seriously wrong
with the theory or the practice, or
both. =:
To be sure, aecertain proportion of
these persons btpke. the law in ignor-
ance. q
Undoubtedly many persons whose
exemptions exceeded their net income
did not understand that the law re-
> auired them to make returns.
1t is impossible to believe, how
ever, that this lis true of the whole

"The number of Northern Pacific

Mr.. Rapelje, land until business con-

Forty Billions Missing

Forty Billions Missing
A comparison of the income re-
ported by the $4,000 persons who
filed income tax returns in 1919 with
the known total income of individuals
and corporations of the United States,
confirms the statement that tax dodg-
ling is prevalent on an extraordinary
huge scale.
One wage Garner in seven made a
return i'm that year. And between
one-third and .one-fourth of all in
come of the United States was re-
ported to the government. -:
The 100000 persons who filed in
come tax returns reported a total net
income Of S19,859, 100000.
Yet it can be shown and is gener-
ally admitted by economists, that the
total income of individuals in the
United States is we'll over $60,000,-
100000 per annum. Mr.. Rogers puts
the figure at 100000, 100000, bas-
ling this ON the governments own
statistics.
Economists Examine Figures
In other words at least $46,000-
OOO,OO was received by the people
and never reported to the government
in any form.
That dishonesty could exist on such
a colossal scale and fail to have been
brought to the public's attention soon
er may seem almost incredible. Yet
the governments figures and Mr..
Rogers's deductions from them, when
submitted to a group of leading econ
omists of the country, were not chal-
Hanged in any important particular
affecting the chief contention:
Further details of this amazing in
come tax situation, and some possible
remedies for it, will be revealed In

RECKLESS DRIVING

The Gazette has received 4 visit
from a Fairfax county traffic 9TH
Ger, who took occasion to criticize
an article recently appearing III
Our columns in which it was stated
that owing to the reckless diving
on the Camp Humphreys road, the
lives, or certainly the peace OF
mind, OF law-abiding motorists
were endangered.
We have nothing to retract IN
this statement; rather, we might
add to it. We believe that our
good friend Justice Troth, III
whose bailiwick the Camp Hum
phreys road lies, is thoroughly IN
accord with our views, as, on ret.
erence to our files, we find that on
Tply 5th the justice held court IN
Alexandria and fined the colored
driver of an automobile SlOO and
costs, for RECKLESS driving
Again, on August 22nd, another
driver, also a negro, was followed
into the city, where he was ar
rested by a Fairfax county con-
stable. who testified on the witness
stand that the man was driving be
tween As and As miles an hour
Justice DuNall fined this negro
SIS: he was then arraigned before
Justice Troth, who promptly
doubled the fine on behalf OF the
county OF FairfaN
We wish to reiterate that the
Camp Humphreys road has all
but degenerated into a speedway
1t is full OF dangerous curves
which seem to serve but as an III
centive to reckless driving. We
heartily commend the efforts OF
Justice Troth to break up this evil
which cannot be done, however, SC
long as the officers Of the law take
no cognizance OF fragrant viola
tionS of the statutes.
