$17,398.8O was collected for the
year ending June 80, 1922, from
users of pleasure boats in Maine
The act of 1921, by changing the
taxable class of boats to those of
over five tons and over 80 feet in
length, will not yield over $4,000
during the present year. This is a
decrease of $4,000 to some 1900
small boat owners in Maine, and also
relieves some 1900 additional own
ers of the necessity of filing returns
and securing exemptions for their
boats.
The excise tax on such articles as
sporting goods, wearing apparel,
toilet articles, proprietary medicines,
etc., yielded for the year 1921, un-
der the act of 1918, the sum of
$2O1,6O1.09. The items on which
this amount was collected are not
taxable under the act of 1921.
A survey of the operation of the

FEDERAL TAX SAVINGS.
Maine Folks Paid $7,5OO,OOO Less
Than Last Year.

MAINE FOLKS fdIO %I,OUOsUOO 1NSs
Than Last Year.
Hon. Frank j. Ham of Augusta
collector of internal revenue for the
district of Maine, said Thursday that
ever since the passage of the revenue
act of 1921, there has been more OF
less speculation as to what extent the
new act would reduce federal taxa
ton, but not until the last few weeks
has it been possible to estimate just
what the reduction has been in the
district of Maine.
Collection of federal taxes by the
Augusta office during the year 1922
under the new act will show reduc-
ton of $7,50O,0O0 from the amount
collected during the year 1921 under
the act of 1918. While general bust
ness conditions are undoubtedly re-
sponsible for certain amount OF
this reduction, decreases in tax rates
under the provisions of the new act
have also played most important
part, as will appear from compari-
son of the yield of some of the vari-
Gus taxes under the two acts, in con-
junction with consideration OF
some of the changes in tax rates in
connection Herewith.
Income tax collections during the
year 1921 were $13,S16,803.21. Col
lections during the present year will
not exceed $8,9OO,0O0, or a reduction
of some $4,9OO,OOO. Under the pro-
visions of the new act the personal
exemption of a married person, or
head of family, with an income of
$4,000 or less, was increased from
$4,000 to $4,000. Some 10000 tax
payers in Maine are within the class
having incomes of $4,000 or less.
Under the act of 1918, transporta-
ton of property or persons by rail or
water yielded $1,254,135.02. The
revenue act of 1921 repealed the
transportation tax, effective Jan. 1,
1922. A reduction of 81 100000 in
Names federal tax was effected by
this repeal
Under the act of 1918, during the
year 1921 there was collected under
the soda, ice-cream and beverage
tax the sum of $205,O92.08. The
beverage tax as provided by the act
of 1921 will not yield during the
present year in excess Of $25, 900, a
reduction of some $4,000 on these
articles of general consumption.
This tax was also changed from a
consumers to manufacturers tax.
Under the act of 1918 the sum of

president of the organization since
It's reorganization, was reelected
president and Henry w. Ruark,
treasurer. Two vacancies in the
existing board of so directors were
filled by the election of David Dallas

train schedule has been secured, as
has @ new boat line to the Northern
Neck Of Virginia.

steamer lines involved and finally
had a boat put on between the
Northern Neck and Crisield, thus
giving that territory a direct outlet
to Salisbury.
President Adkins was presented
