idling, due to leaky valves or some
other cause, will run fine if the

real cause of the trouble and cor

INCOME TAXES
IN u. S. SHOW
VAST CHANGES
Decreases Credited TO
Expedients for Avoid
ing Payments; Some of
Returns Surprising

CHICAGO, H., Sept IA vast de-
crease n some classes of income taxes
returns Is indicated in lists Of payments
made By hundred or more prominent
Chicagoans, published today in the Chi
cago Tribune and the Herald and Ex-
aminer. Many tax payers in the higher
brackets availed themselves of various
legal and permissible expedients for
avoiding burdensome payments, it was
thought.
The largest tax paid by those listed in
the newspapers came from l.. L. Cooke,
head Of the Chicago Engineering works,
correspondence school. His return was
$300,787 and that of Mrs. L. L. Cooke
$92,7l0.
The largest reduction published by
the newspapers was that of William
Wrigley, Jr., chewing gum manufactur-
er, whose 1925 taxes were listed at S2644
as against $836,565 for 1924, figure
far above any other individual amount
in the Chicago district.
Representatives, of Mr. Wrigley ex-
planned that the new revenue act en-
abled auditors to write off certain
losses suffered by him dating as far
back as 1914. 1t was pointed out the
figures given were for the manufactures
personally and that corporation taxes
for the various companies in which he
is dominant figure have not been
published.
Bankers, lawyers, artists, real estate
men, editors, merchants, and others
were included in the published lists. In
some cases material increases wers
shown in 1925 payments over those OF
last year.
One Of the largest Of these was the
return of Edward n. Hurley, former
shipping board head, who last year paid
$49,197 and this year $136,951.
