Pay Big Taxes

who are married but who make re-
turns separate from their husbands.
PurpOsely, the figures are combined 50
that the income of each cannot be as
certained, but each of them has an in
come somewhere between $1,O00000
and $1,500,000 year. In the same
class is a single woman.
The next in line are two women
classified as heads of families; which
means either widows with children, or
daughters supporting parents, broth
ers, sisters or other relatives. These
two ladies each receive income Of from
half to three-quarters of million dol
lars year.
Who Are They?
Now comes fascinating group!
There are 10 single women in one
classification each of whom has from
half to three-quarters Of a million dol
lars income a year with no one to sup
port and, apparently, net care in the
world. Who are they? Tho printed
column of statistics reveals nothing.
Are they actresses? Are they stars of
the movies? Are they only daughters
of fond, deceased parents? There are
II Of them somewhere in the United
States. You may be run owe" by ones

There seems to be no lack of mill
lionaires among the women In this
group, that is, class of women who
have approximately $1,0CG 900, the
single ladies again predOminate. Mil
lionaires usually have incomes of
about 100000 year. There are 81
of these single women who have such
incomes. Wives making separate re-
turns rank next. They number ia
The way in which a family cuts down
ones opportunities to amass a fortune
is strongly eXemplified in the fact that
there are only 30 woman heads of
families who can lay claim to the mil
lionaire class.
Here is curious fact which the in
come statistics reveal. The term mil
lionaire has become Il popular one in
the United States. II has certain
glamor. Apparently both men and
women have striven particularly hard
to attain this classification. They have
bent every effort to reach II and. hay
ing done SO, have not been S. eager to
60 higher. This Is revealed By the fact
that the numbers of milliOnaires are
inf Af II ion,
class either Immediately below or i'm
mediately above. This would indicate
that the million mark has become
standard.
Take the single girls, for instance.
There are CT in the class Just under
the million mark, 1S1 in the million
class and only IS in the next higher
class. In the group of wives making
separate returns, there are 68 in the
submillion class, ia in the million
class and only 81 in the next higher
class. The same is true of the heads
Of families There are 90 in the sub
million class, 80 in the million class,
and only II in the next class above.
The rule Is even more marked in the
case Of men. In the submillon class
there are Cos men. in the million class
1872, and in the next higher class only
1906 These are married men. The
single men show 113 in the submillion
class, DOG in the million class and only
IS in the next class.
This Is the more striking in that the
income classes, as to every other
graduation Of income, rise in about the
same ratio. All except that million

Probably the most fascinating fact
about the income Of single women is
