TANNING

By HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK. Sept ss.-with tho
possible exception OF Rabe
Ruth. no athlete in America has
become as proficient and as perfect
N his line as has BIN rilden. the
ennis champion.
Long considered as one OF the
best players of all time, Tllden
never reached the positive state
until this season. largely because
until this year he did not feel like
showing exactly how superior he
VAS over all other players in tho
world.
Tilden. in the unanimous opinion
OF those who have made tennis n
hobby and study. is the greatest
player in all the history OF the
game. Perhaps his skin win never
be equaled. and certainly Il can
hardly be surpassed. as his game
IS perfect from top 20 bottom.
The worlds champion player
Possesses moro strokes and Is more
adept az them than any other play.
er in the world He IS so good
and his game Is so versatile that
he deliberately chooses TO assume
the speciality OF his opponents and
beat them at their own game.
Up until this season. Tilden
never had demonstrated how vastly
he outclasscd every star in the
field His skill never had been cx.

he preferred 10 ease up and give

him and allowing him only two
games. Alfonso Is one OF the finest
players in the world and earlier in
the season. when he had been tour.
Ing with Tilden. he had beaten the
champion once.
The real demonstration OF Tilden's
power. however. came In the final
round when he completely over.

never had a chance. and what
points he earned were only gained
because no had a game heart that
kept him trying when IL was cvi-
dent that he had no more chance
than a novice schoolboy.

The orgy of extravaganza wallowec lin by federal, state, county anc municipal administrations during the past four or five years since the wal has sent the per capita tax of the country up to $3I.6 per person in the last decade and this is surely con servative for the survey was made fol the Big Business" coterie called the National Industrial Conference Board and that body isn't going to make il any higher for the public to study ! than it has to.
 In 1913, the year preceding the out break of the World War, citizens oi the United States paid $2,oo4, ,ooo, ,ooo l in federal, state, county and munici- pal taxes. In 1922 the national tax bill was $7,o6I 100000. The per capita tax i'll 1913. was $22.73, an increase of l Population in that period increased approximately Is per cent.
 These taxes, according to studies under the direction of Dr. L. R Gottlieb, bear more heavily upon the farmer than the rest of the commun- ity, I6.6 per cent. of his income going tu inc .oAccror as ,uInparcu -Ils. II.o7 per cent, paid by the rest of the community.
 These studies show that in the dec ade beginning with 1908 the increase in taxes was but $7I2, 100000, or roughly one-seventh of the increase between 1913 and 1922.
 IT Per Cent Increase.
 Estimating the national income at S53, 500, ,ooo,o ,ooo in 1922, taxes were r per cent greater in volume last year than in 1921, year of poor business, and represented I2.I per cent. of the total national income, whereas o.4 per cent suficed in 1918 to satisfy the tax collector
 Sated otherwise in 1913 every per son contributed three and one-ha1f weeks income to the support of gov ernment. The contribution in 1922 equalled six and one-quarter weeks income
 The term national income" as used by the Conference Board ex- perts, means "the aggregate value of |all commodities and services pro- duced b ythe inhabitants of country or obtained from abroad fo rtheir use, including agricultural products con stunned by farmers and rental values of homes occupied by their owners, but excluding goods and services for for example, the services of house wives The aggregate is net amount after Implications have been eliminated and maintenance and de- preciation charges deducted" One explanation commonly offered for the increase in taxes Is increase in interest on the public debt and in pensions due to the war Detailed studies of the data bearing on this show, according to the board, that the rates of gross and net burden of tax ation in the two periods do not differ very much, the increase in net tax
