GOVERNMENT ADDS
 MILLIONS TO CONN.
 CORPORATIONS TAX
Capital Stocks Reported Found to B. Shy According to
 Figures.

Federal revenue collected in Con- necticut last month totaled $1, ,849, 9,238o3, a decrease of $534, 4,527.38 from the collec- tions of the corresponding month of last year, it was shown by figures made pub lie at the internal revenue office
 The biggest drop came in the income tax, where the returns for last month were SAC, ,3o8.62, as compared to $755,- 146.11 last year. In the sales tax there was drop from $1,414,356.oo in 1921 to $1 ,281 025.o5 and the revenue from the sale of stamps decreased $2O,82366 from a total of $57, ,528.31 year ago The fact that smokers are deserting high priced cigars for low or medium grade smokes is chiefly responsible for the difference in the stamp tax.
 The capital stock tax was the only one which showed an increase, the total under this heading being $1O,437.55 fo1 the month as against $1, 544. 59 last year The difference is due to the fact that officials in Washington assessed addit- ional taxes of about $8,893, indicating that an aggregate of $8,893,OOO was ad ded to the total of paid-in capital stock reported by Connecticut corporation: during the month.
 The government assessed $58,859.7> against Connecticut estates during tht month. In January, 1921, it assessed $131 ,16493 against them. The fines ane penalties taken for violation of the pro hibition and narcotic laws showed a de crease of over 50 per cent.

The Final Draft of the Re.

Has Been Completed.
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 81 (by the As
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The final draf'
of the report OF TIE arms sub-col
mittoe on aircraft was complete
today. While its contents has nc
been disclosed, the protracted dis d
cussiOns in the subcommittee ar,
known to have brought out the
feeling among representatives Of
all five powers that no impedi-
ment had been put in the way Of
commercial development of air
craft such as might result from
an attempt to prevent creation of
an air force in each country quick
ly convertible into war machines
at need.
1t has been contended on the
contrary by some experts that in
governing development of n new
and swift means Of communication
and transportation, governments
represented here would be taking
a dire step toward lessening the
probabilities of future wars. SchOl-
ars are said to be agreed that un-

sources among various nations has

tor it has been held, has been mis-
understandings between people
due to lack Of adequate communi-
cation facilities,
In the probable future develop
ment of air navigation may lie a
cure for these fundamental AMI
hitherto unavoidable seeds of war,
it has been said. Through air
transportation most experts expect
to see wider access to natural re-
sources of the world made posi-
BILE and a consequent lessening in
the struggle for actual physical
control of these resources They
also anticipate gradual develop
ment of quick and easy communi-
cation through air between wide
ly separated peoples and a result
ant better understanding between
such peoples and less chance of
misapprehensions which might
lead to war.

SECRETARIAL
TRAINING GIVES
ORGANIZED
EXPERIENCE

When a business man says that
he wants an experienced stenog-
rapher or secretary. what he really
means is that he wants an indi-
vidual who has acquired knowledge
and skill. plus the confidence that
springs from a consciousness of the
possession of that knowledge and
skill. The ordinary type of office
experience is bound to he partial,
fragmentary and more or less hap
hazard.
In the Secrctarial Course offered
by the Western School for Private
Secretaries the essentials of office
experience are presented in syste-
matte and organized form. When
you complete this course you will
have performed tasks. acquired
knowledge and skill, and secured
familiarity with office routine and
secretarial work to a far greater
extent than would be possible to
acquire in ninety-nine offices out
of a hundred in year. You will
have obtained a fund of knowledge
and skill which you can apply i'm
mediately and directly to the prob
lens which will confront you in
the office in which you will be en-
ployed.

PACK|NC OUTPUT
NORMAL IN 1921
WILSON STATES
Outlook for 1922 is Bright
in American Business
Generally; An Increase Is
Shown in Exports.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-The outlook Is
bright in the packing industry and
inferentially, in American business
generally, Thomas e. Wilson, presi-
dent Of the Institute of American
Meat Packers, said in a statement
today.
An business may find a good
omen in the fact that the largest
industry in the United States
Strengthening and meat packing
apparently has finished the year
1921 with a normal annual pro-
duction and that this production
has not been crammed into ware
houses but has passed freely into
trade channels and thencednto con-
SUMPTION he said.
"A good augury for business in
general also inheres in the fact that
the nations greatest industry, after
two years of severe trials and
grievous losses, is finally and de-
finitely emerging into stable con-
uitions and settling into strong
position"
Mr.. Wilson said production in
lJLl was uUEIIldIt tLdL pLChluS
house values seem fairly stable,
demand has shown a good volume;
meat exports in 1921 greater than
in 1920 or 1913 and sales in terms
of weight will probably approx
mate 1920 sales but at greatly de-
creased money value.
Storage stocks were low, indi-
eating demand has absorbed pro-
duction, Mr.. Wilson said.
Prices in 1921 in many cases
were lower than before the war.
The figures for federally inspect
ed slaughter for the first ten
months in 1921 and the same period
in 1913 are quoted as an index to
production through the last year, as
follows:
1921-5S,S95,3S9 animals; 1913
1876, 461 animals. The 1921 fig
ures should be discounted some
what because only 500 per cent of
cattle slaughtered were inspected in
1919. while 63.4 per cent were be-
ing inspected in 1920 Oast year for
which the ratio was available).
Exports for the first ten months
in 1921 showed II per cent in
crease in quantity but 30 per cent
decrease in value, according to the
statement.

OFF DURING THE YEAR

washington, Dec. 3l.-Gold pro-

which is valued under the Pittman
act at 81 an ounce.

tie statement recalled, was in 1915,
when StO1O35,700 worth of gold
and 74,9G1,075 ounces of silver
were produced.

with 1924 ounces; Alaska was

ton, with an output of 15,23S,65S
