INCOME TAX LISTS

Newspapers Prepare to Give
Names and Amounts
of Payments.

With q Supreme Court decision hav-
ing cleared up the muddle of last year
over publica ton of income tax returns.
collectors Of internal revenue will
open wide their books at O'Clock
tomorrow morning throughout the
nation.
Newspapers of the country have
made plans to publish the names of
taxpayers, together with the amount
of tax paid during the fiscal year ~nd
ing June 80. 1925
For the most part the income tax
figures will he from incomes during
the calendar year 1924 as most in
diViduals and concerns operate on a
calendar year basis. There are some
concerns. however. operating on
fiscal year basis, whose returns will
he based ON another period.
Different This Year.
The present prospect is entirely
different from last year, when the ma
TiOn was in great confusion over the
Two apparently conflicting statutes.
one of which in the new revenue law
authorized throwing open the books 10
provided penalty for publication. -
Newspapers. however, for the most
part on advice of counsel last year
printed the names and figures. and the
Government to test the Law made sew
eral "a ses against newspapers taking
two "a the supreme Conrt for de-
cision. On May 25. this year, the
Supreme Court held that publica tion
was lawful. The two papers in the
test suit were the Baltimore Daily
Post and the Kansas City Post.
As taxpayers records for the Dis
trict Of Columbia are filed atatlfe bffice
OF the collector of internal revenue
at Baltimore. it is there that they
will be made public.
Records of the District of Columbia
taxpayers have not Yet been sepa-
rated from those of the collection dis
trict which comprises both Maryland
and the District of Columbia, so no
figures are as yet available as to the
exact total paid by local taxpayers
during the year to be opened to the
public tomorrow. But preliminary
reports by the collector show that
there was a sharp falling of in the
total paid by the entire district. The
total income tax for both Maryland
and the District of Columbia paid
during the last fiscal year was only
S37 .593 .045.1l as compa red to $40, 1885,

Statistics as prepared by the De-

during the four-week period ending

automobiles in the 81 cities. Dur

the city is "overreculsted" and sub
iected to far too numerous expert
ments" on the part of Mr.. Eldridge' s
Office
From January | up TO May 8. when
the existing traffic code became ef-
fective; % persons were killed, II Sc
riously injured and 94S less seriously
injured. Since May until today
which is almost identically the same
length of time, ~ deaths have occur
red, II persons have been seriously
hart and 9l4 have suffered minor in
juries.
These figures show comparatively
little change in the traffic record of
Washington since the Inauguration OF
the present traffic regulations. Al
though two less persons have been
killed, but three more have been seri-
ously injured. There has been an en-
coura ging drop i'm the number OF
minor injuries. but these include
everything from skinned knuckle tC
victims who needed treatment at hos
pitfalls.
Traffic Director Eldridge pointed
out, however, that there are q pei
cent more automobiles on the streets
Of Washington today than there were
last year. He also called attention to
the fact that included as traffic acci
