Another thing There has been n very much larger increase in. the number of smaller taxpayers than in the number of the largest taxpayers. The first re- turns for 1914 did not cover incomes below $S,O00. In that year fewer than 5000 persons reported incomes rang ing from 5000 to $4OO0, whereas the total for 1922 was fully 7S5,OOO. Those getting from $4,000 to $5,0OO jumped from under 67,000 in 1914 to 4O5, ,0OO in the last report.
 In tn first year when incomes of $1,O00 to $2,000 were reported, 1,64O,- 900 had such incomes, but by 1922 the otal had risen to above 2,471 900, nnd ose having $2,OOO to $3,OO0 a year y,1lper from below 893,0OO to $780, GOO.
 The following table brings much in- formation into little space:

 Those receiving the next largest pro- portion of the total are the $3,OO0 to $0,OOO class; they in turn are followed by those getting $1,000 to $2,0OO.
 Would you believe that o-thirds of America's total taxable income is re- ported by those having taxable incomes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000?
 The very rich, those pleading guilty to taxable incomes running from S5O,- OOO to over $1,000,00O, do not repre- sent One-twelfth of the total amount.
 These figures are so hard to believe that it may be we'll to give the official figures in detail from the report re- gently issued, which covers results of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-06

What has been happening. For one thing far more men and women are now receiving from $2,OO0 to $5,OOO than received such pay in 1914, or even five years ago.
 But it can also be accepted as a fact that the strict measures taken and the penalties imposed by the government have frightened far more individuals receiving small salaries into compiling returns. On the first few years there unquestionably was great deal of tax lodging, some of it through ignorance, some of it by design.
 The relatively small increase in the number of very large taxpayers does not mean that the increase in the new millionaires has been rather small. It means, rather, that more and more citi- zens enjoying huge incomes have re- sorted to tax exempt investments. By so doing, our wealthiest people have es- capped the burdens it was intended they should carry. Look at the showing made by those having incomes of more than $300,000 year; the third column gives the total amount of their taxable incomes:

PICKING PEARS BY SCIENCE
Pressure Tester" is Latest Appliance
of Fruit Growers

Picking pears has been put on a
scientific basis. No longer will this
fruit ripen before it reaches the con-
sumer, nor will farmers have to face
any loss on this account.
A device known as a pressure
tester" has been invented by Prof. A.
E. Murneek, of the Oregon Agricul-
tural Experiment Station at Corvallis
to make pear culture an accurate ag-
ricultural science. 1t does in a sure
way what farmers have long been
trying to do in haphazard manner
tell when the pears are just right
for shipment.
Prof. Murneek based his invention
on the definite theory that the re-
sistance pressure offered by the pear
at its widest diameter is the most
accurate measure of the fruits de-
gree of maturity. 1t consists of a
plunger which, when forced into the
pear at its largest diameter, registers
the pears pressure resistance on a
scale.
| AllCI LllOuSdHOS VI experiments
with all kinds of pears, Prof. Muir
neck has completed a table of pres
sure limits indicating when each
class Of pear is ripe for picking and
shipping. For example, he has found
that harvesting of Bartletts should
begin when the pressure indicates an
average resistance of 335 pounds. The
lowest limit at which it is still safe
to pick Bartletts is at 25 pounds, bu
the lower the pressure the closel
must be the shipping point.
Only freshly picked uninjured frui
should be taken for testing by thi
method. To overcome individual pc
cularities each lot should consist O
10 to Is specimens. They should rep
resent an average condition Of tn
orchard or a particular section of il
This method Of testing pears is nov
in use in several fruit-growing dis
tricts Of Oregon and Washington, an,
it has been found highly satisfactory
It may extend to the practice of pick
ing other fruit than pears.
