CHICAGO.-"The Age of the Au-

This might we'll be inscribed as the
title Of the annual report of the Gen
eral Motors corporation, for in its
pages is a wealth OF illuminating in
formation on one of the worlds in
dustrial wonders.
This company, producing probably
one-fifth of the country's total output
of motor vehicles last year sold 49,
763 units and received $463,706733,
compared with 246,834 units and
$500, 7o6,o30 in 1918, five years ago. In
1921 it sold 214,799 units and received
1904, 478,243. So last year its unit
sales were more than double those in
1921, but it received only about SO
per cent more, which means that the
American people are getting automo-
biles considerably cheaper
Last year it employed 1924 work
ers, compared with 35,93l in 1921,
which fact has its bearing on the pres
ent vastly improved employment con-
dition, compared with the serious idl-
ness situation of year and a hall
ago.
Furthermore, this corporation has
65 COS stockholders, of whom $4,000
hold common stock To them goes
the $45,066908 that was earned last
year after prior claims-just as from
them came the $44,990,779 which the
"deflation" of 1921 cost the company.
And most of these stockholders are
the common people," as $4,000 own
less than 100 shares and $4,000 hold
10 shares or less. incidentally, one
fourth of them, or 1924, are women
AS for the future, President Pierre
IS. Dupont points out that the ex-
pansion program carried out since
1918 has resulted in a manufacturing
capacity of 100000 units year.
As for a comparison of financial re-
suits, the report shows that net profits
for 1922, after all charges and taxes
were $51, 496,136 equivalent after pre-
ferred and debenture stock dividends
to $40 a share on the 2O,557,75C
shares of non-par common stocks. In
1921 there was an operating loss OF
$38,6S0,770 and a total deficit of $44,-

GEORGIA'S TAX ON
LAND HAS DOUBLED
FEDERAL REPORT SHOWS IT
HAS INCREASED 88 PER
CENT IN EIGHT YEARS.

Only ten states have shown lower
percentage OF increases in taxes on
farm lands during the last eight years
than that reported by Georgia &C
cording to an announcement made by
the u. S. department OF agriculture.
This announcement shows that as an
average for the entire country, farm
land taxes were seventy-one cents an
acre in 1922 as compared with thirty
one cents in 1913-14, or an increase
.of 126 per cent.
Georgia, the report further shows
was eleventh in a list OF seventeen
states in which the percentage of in
crease was lower than the average
for the entire country. In thirty-one
states, it is shown, taxes on farm land
have more than doubled, while in two
states, Arkansas and Colorado, they
have more than trebled.
Farm land taxes in Georgia last
year were thirty cents an acre, as
compared with sixteen cents an acre
in 1912-13, according to the report,
or an increase during the eight-year
period of SO per cent. The 10 states
reporting lower percentages OF in
crease than Georgia are: Maine, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Mary
land. Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona
Utah and California. THE increase,
says the announcement OF the depart
ment of agriculture, commenting up
on the report OF the entire country,
SIS attributed in part to dispropor-
tomato increase in assessed valuation,
based on high land prices during and
following the war, and in part to in
creased cost OF state and local gov
eminent.
Highest farm land taxes" it con-
tinues, "are paid in New Jersey, which
shows a tax of S2.22 an acre in 1922,
compared with 90 cents in 1914; Mich
igan $1.58 compared with 68 cents;
Iowa $40 compared with 90 cents;
Idaho $1.40 compared with so cents;
Ohio $1.24 compared with 81 cents;
Illinois 1928 compared with SO cents;
Wisconsin $1.53 compared with S.
cents; Massachusetts, $1.20 compared
with 90 cents New York $1.13 COM
pared with SO cents, and Pennsylva-
Mai Sill compared with So cents.
Taxes in all other states were less
than 81 per acre in 1922, ranging from
sixteen cents in Montana, to ninety
nine cents in Connecticut. In 1914 the
taxes ranged from seven cents in Mon
tana and Arizona to ninety-siX III New

this loss was more than $20,0OO0OO.
Bradsreet's records for 1922 show
that 885 failures OF business hrms
were due directly to fraud and specu-

takes no account of bucket shop tall
ures and cases of dishonest lndivld-
uals who go into bankruptcy to es-
cape their obligations.
People Refuse to Pay Bills
Investigations by the Harvard
School Of Business Research show
that an average of about two-tenths
per cent on gross sales is charged off
annually because Of bad debts. Jew
elry stores go higher, 1l9 firms aver
aging 0.5 per cent and 263 grocery
stores 0.3 per cent. Drug stores aver
age 0.3 per cent and shoe stores or
per cent. So a general average OF
two-tenths of l per cent cannot be
too high.
Last year. according to estimates OF
the United States Chamber of Com
merce. retail sales of consumption
goods was $25,000,000,000. Check off
two-tenths OF l per cent for bad debts
and the loss is $5O,OOO,OOO The whole
saler has his bad debts that must be
added to the total, and it must be re-
membered that the S25,000,000,000 re-
tail sales includes only consumption
goods that an individual uses for his
personal needs and comforts and ex-
cludes such items as locomotives,
farm machinery, building materials,
factory equipment and machinery and
other items that will total
another $25,000,000,000 as a minimum
against which there are also charges
for bad accounts.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-Dlshonesty
in the United States last year paid an
army of burglars, robbers, forgers,
bucket shop operators, confidence men
and common thieves more than S3,-

Conservative estimates, compiled
by the National Survey Company. OF
this city, place the sum at $3,325 ,0OO,-
600. That is approximately equiya-
lent TO the internal revenue receipts
of the federal government Tor the MS s.
cal wear OF 1922. 1t is greater by halt
billion dollars than the imports OF
the country in 1921. 1t is an average
tax on every man, woman and cnlld
in the country Of more than $50 a
year.
New York's Loss $168,000,000.
In New York city the average loss
would total Sl68,000,000 For Yonk-
ers it is more than $30000,000. This

Bad Debts Total S150,000,000.
Merchants throughout the country
last year, wholesalers and retailers,
marked off something more than
S150,000,000 in bad accounts. They
charge this loss to operating eXpens-
es and the honest consumer toots the
bills. Railroads OF the country last
year paid $12,200,000 in claims for
goods lost by theft or burglary. They
retrieve that sum in higher rates.
William B. Joyce, chairman OF the
National Surety Company, recently
undertook to compile dishonesty loss
es in the country. He gathered rec
ords from the 81 surety companies
and after examination of the assem-
bled figures it was agreed that $525,-
100000 annually for burglary and
SIPS 100000 for embezzlement were
conservative figures. A sum some
where between $25,000,000 and $780,
100000 was added for forgery.
