FEDERAL REVENUES
UNHURT BY TAX GUT
Lower Rates Create New
SourceS-Decrease From
1924 Is S212,038, ,e8e.

In spite Of the reduced tax rate
effected in the revenue act of 1924,
total tax collections during the fiscal
year 1925 were only $212,038,9S9 less
than the collections made at higher
rates in the preceding IL months.
Treasury officials point this out as
supporting their argument that lower
rates will bring proportionately
greater returns. The reduction of
1924, they explained, has acted as an
incentive to business, resulting in the
creation Of new tax sources by the
withdrawal of money from tax-ex-
empt securities.
The total collections Of the year,
ending June 80. were s2.584,140, ,26S.
compared with total collections Of
$2.796, ,179,257 for the preceding L
months.
Collection Cost More.
1t cost the Government slightly
more to carry on its tax collection
system in 1925, however. than in
| 1924. The bureaus report pointed
out that its appropriation carried
! S9,013,000 for prohibition enforce
| ment and s1.128,000 for enforcement
of the narcotic law in 1925. and ap-
proximately equivalent sums in the
preceding year. Eliminating these
items from consideration in comput-
! ing the cost of tax collections, the
| figure was placed at S1.43 for each
| 500 in 1925, as compared with $124
in the preceding II months.
Income tax receipts were smaller by
The total was S1,761 $50 ,049 in 1925
| The total was sl,761 $50 ,049 in 1926
and S1,841 1896 in the preceding
year. The chief drop in the Federal
tax items, therefore, came under the
| general heading of miscellaneous re-
ceipts, where a decrease OF S13l,93s,-
| 722 was shown by the report. which
gave the totals as 1922 ,481 ,21S for
1925 and 1854 .419 $40 for 1924.
Some Show Increase.
| officials explained that the tax law
of 1924 had completely wiped numer-
Gus taxes off the statute books while
| lowering some others, but among
| those remaining, several important
| increases were shown in receipts.
| The principal increase came in re-
| ceipts from the taxes on tobacco and
tobacco manufactures. This amount
ed to more than $19, 100000.

| ison of the receipts in the two fiscal

British Exempt from Income
 Tax on Horse Race Winnings

LONDON, Apr. 17.-Winnings from bets on horse races, if the winner is not a professional bookmaker and places his bets at starting prices only, are not subject to the British income tax, the Kings Bench Divi- sion of the law court ruled in re- cent case.
