Figures Indicate
MANY IN MILLIONAIRE CLASS
All of the Fair Sex Combined Paid
Taxes to the Government in 1920
on Net Incomes Aegregating

Washington.- than half q mil.
lion single women in the United States
paid income tax in 1920 and many of
them paid on incomes of fabulous size.
The precise number is 503690 and the
aggregate of their incomes reached
the astounding total Of 81 ,264,955,727.
These are all in the class which
statisticians of society would class or
dinarily as dependent females" that
is they are not rich wives nor heads
of families. For to the full total of
woman taxpayers the others must be
added. Woman heads of families, that
Is, widows with children or daughters
supporting parents, paid tax to the
number of 1872, 1S1 and their aggregate
net income amounted to S3SS,364,5 $50.
Lead by Millions.
. In cases where lives have estates
or earnings separate from their hus-
bands they frequently make separate
returns. Those doing so in 1920 num-
bered 1858 and their aggregate in
come $534,S40,405. These figures re-
veal that the single women were the
richest of all by many millions. All Of
the fair sex combined paid taxes to the
government on net incomes aggregat-
ing $2,1SS, 160,662, but the wives and
widows together only showed three
quarters as much income as the girls.
The year 1920 is the latest for which
income statistics are available. The
government in issuing these statistics
is compelled % put them in such form
that the identity of the rich recipients
of the great incomes is not revealed.
Under the law, income tax returns are
deeply confidential.
Nevertheless, the statisti IS can be
studied to bring interesting facts to
light. They indicate that the richest
woman in the United States, or at
least, the woman who received the
greatest net income was single. The
statistics do not reveal whether she
was young and beautiful, or n forbid
ding old maid. What they Dc reveal is
that she had an income somewhere
between 100000 and S3,000,000
year. This does not mean that she
merely was worth between 100000
and 100000; but that zach year
added that vast fortune to her estate.
The next richest are two women

statistics would appear to furnish
what all the moralists have been look
ing for; the economic or other justiti-
cation for the flapner The figures
show that the tlapper stenngrapher
makes more money than any other
class Of women. In 1920, 342, 06S of
these napper stenographers paid in
come tax. Their aggregate income
amounted TO S475.64O 109-nearly half
n billion dollars or enough to pay Il e
interest on the allied dcbt.
That good many Of these assist in
the support of families to the extent
that they are classed as heads of fami-
lies is shown by the fact that they are
the most numerous Of that group of
women There were 79,44G in the same
general income class who made re-
turns as heads of families; doubtless
supporting parents or younger broth
ers and sisters. The fact that among
the wives making separate returns
this also is the largest income class is
taken as an indication Of the large
number of young married women who
have kept their stenographic jobs and
continue to run their own financial af-
fairs. There were 20547 in this class
and they had an aggregate income Of
$50, 294 207.

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back headache, loss of am

toms of kidney trouble.

about the income Of single women is
That the great bulk Of those having in
comes are in the stenographer class.
This is new economic development
of the utmost interest. Only a few
years ago there was no such class Of
money earners at all. They are n new
social phenomenon in the world. The
statistics do not classify occupations
closely, but shrewd guess can be
made from the size Of the income.
Without exception, the most numerous
class Of feminine taxpayers are single
women with net incomes ranging from
$1,000 to $1,000 year. 1t seems OBJ.
