DOWNWARD REVISION

Washington, D. ca $7o,o00,000 in
crease in the March collections of in
come and profits taxes as compared
with the March collections of last
year, on which the higher income sur
tax rates applied, gives a practical
answer to the tax problem and Shows
clearly what course further lewiston
should take" Secretary Mellon declsr-
ed III statement last night.
Forecasting in his statement posi-
bic efforts by the treasury to have
Congress further cut the surtax rates
on incomes, Secretary Mellon asserted
that the March collections of $463 ,000,-
900 had fully justified his prediction
that downward revision would have the
effect of increasing rather than de-
creasing the federal revenue. The
secretary viweed the increase in col
lections as proof that the downward
revision had acted as stimulant to
business.
Even the present surtax rates,
which range to a NAHUM of fifty per
cent and have combined maximum
normal and sur tax of So per cent, Mr..
Mellon said, are tending to hamper
business and causing the large tax
payers to seek every possible means
of avoiding the realization of taxable
income. The March collections, he
said, had confirmed his conclusion
that if readjusted to the maximum of
rs per cent recommended by the
treasury the sur-taxes would better
accomplish their purpose and yield at
least as large and probably larger
revenues than the existing rates."

Federal Officials Start Sur
vey to See if Tax is
Being Paid.
UNDER FIRE
Probe of Three Halls Starts
City Wide Investigation of
Methods Used.

Uncle Sam began to show that he
meant business in Kenosha when it
came to the collection of taxes for ad-
mission to halls of the city for dances
and other entertainments when federal
officials here today began thorough
check-up Of all of the dance halls Of
the city to discover whether or not
there had been any delinquency in the
reporting of taxes during the past four
years.
"We have been ordered to take sur
vey Of the entire city," declared Deputy
Internal Revenue Collector Anton
Schnitz this morning. every dance
hall in the city is to be registered and
close tab is to be kept on their ac-
Invites in the future. There may be
little leniency extended to those who
have failed to make proper reports in
the past, but there will be absolutely
no reason for failure to meet the laws
provisions after this date"
Started Weeks Ago.
Deputy Schmitz admitted that the
situation in Kenosha was revealed sew
eral weeks ago when the deputies in
vestigated the reports made by Tatra
hall, Schlitz hall and Polonia hall.
This investigation is still under way,
the officials in charge of those halls
having been ordered to submit their
books to federal officials so that the de-
linquent tax may be computed and pen
alties exacted for failure to meet the
provisions of the law.
The next step in the investigation
was to direct all printing establish
ments to send copies Of tickets printed
for entertainme and dances to the
federal officials. This is demanded by
the, law.
Deputy Schmitz maintained. that the
check-up thus far had revealed that
many of the halls operated by lodges
and fraternal organizations OF the city
had apparently failed to make the
proper reckoning with Uncle Sam and
that the net would bring many Of these
Non the carpet before the deputies.
Chance for Misunderstanding.
It was admitted that there might
have been some opportunity for mis-
understanding. Heretofore the reports
have been sent to Milwaukee and there
has been little opportunity OF check up
on those who failed to make report.
The law holds that the owners of the
hall are liable even in the event that
they suitcase the hall in the event that
ment to a third party and for this
reason the officials maSTllave thought
that the tax had been paid by the ones
who used the hall.
To avoid any further misunders tand-
ings all halls are now being registered
and officials will be required to make
reports regularly regarding the enter
tainments held there.
The investigation does not affect
theatres inasmuch as all of these come
under another provision of the law and
all theatres in Kenosha have lived up
to the provisions of the law to the
letter.

NEW RECORD AT
AMERICAN BRASS
March Shipments Surpass
Those of Any Month in
History of Firm.
EVEN ABOVE WAR PEAK

Kenosha is interested in the report
carried in the "Wall Street Journal"
recently, showing that the American
Brass company, of which Kenosha has
one of the largest plants, had the
largest shipment in March in it's his
tory. The record even surpassed that
of any month in the peak days Of the
war, showing that reconstruction has
been completed in this industry.
The statement carried in the Jour
nal follows:
"Poundage shipments of product,
finished and semi-fnished, by Amer
lean Brass company during March
were largest of any month. war or
peace, in its history.
THAT shipments should be larger
than in war time means even more
than it seems in that during the war
much of the peundage output was in
large discs and castings, involving lit
tie labor in finishing, while at present
most of the output is in products in
volving much expenditure of labor in
their fnishings.
Is Per Cent Greater Efficiency.
despite this fact crews at present
are about 70 per cent of wartime size,
indicating % per cent greater efici-
ency. Brass company is short of la
Dor with all departments booked we'll

es during the last thirty days cannot
get the men it needs.
Brass company and other fabricat-
ors are noting no falling off of book
ings or orders as result of recent in
creases in price of finished product,
and little if any decrease in present
rate of business is at present expected
during the rest of the year. Future
bookings, however, will be dependent
somewhat upon money rates that pre-
vail
THE Brass company and fabricat-
ors other than cable makers are book

about three months ahead, with COM

Typical of Entire Industry.
THAT the condition of the Brass
company's business is typical of the
industry as whole is we'll shown by
fact that an important middle west
ern fabricator reports March business
30 per cent higher than any of the
war months, SO far as his company is
concerned.
while copper buying is temporar-
lily quiet, fabricators are keeping in
close touch with prices, and are eager
to make large commitments should
producers show willingness to shade
prices. That consumers have great
confidence in the situation is we'll
shown by the fact that several are
trying to book large orders with pro-
ducers for shipment throughout last
half year at II cents delivered.
Producers, however, are quite con-
fident >of good quarter buying at
present price range, and so have not
as yet shown any Willingness to. make
even far ahead shipments at such q
concession"
