Tax Returns Show Prosperity.

Prosperity in the United States is
reflected in the preliminary report on
the income taxes. paid during 1924,
nal Revenue. The report indicates,
Furthermore, that prosperity is wide
spread 1t covers the tax returns for
the income year 1923, and the COM
parison with the figures given for the
year 1922 shows a decided improve
ment-an improvement that it is be-
lieved will be continued to a still
greater extent in the returns for the
income year 1924, when they shall be
available.
The figures for 1923 show that 900,-
goo more persons, or 1912 per cent,
made returns than in the preceding
year. The taxpayers received the ben
eft of the 25 per cent fiat reduction
in the income tax, and the report
shows that while the net income was
$4,000, ,l25,313 greater than in 1922,
the total tax collected was $157,o95 ,143
less than in the earlier year
The American people should be en-
couraged. 1t is evident that they are
making more money. and that the
Federal taxes in 1923 took a very con-
siderable drop. 1t is apparent, too,
that while the tax rate has been re-
duced, the total tax paid has not been
reduced in the same ratio as the re-
duction in the tax rate. There has
been more income to tax. For exam.
pie. the fat 25 per cent allowed in in
come taxes for the year 1923 resulted
not in a IS per cent reduction of the
total tax paid, as compared to the
tax paid for the year 1922, but in a
reduction of only 1924 per cent
The more widespread the industry,
commerce and prosperity of the coun-
try, the more it is possible to reduce
the tax rate and to tighten the bur-
den on individuals who pay taxes. The
contention of Secretary Mellon, back.
ed up by President Coolidge, has been
that the less heavily the taxes are
levied on business generally the great.
er will be industry, commerce and
prosperity in the United States.
Prosperity without business in this
industrial and commercial age is an
impossibility. The contention of Sec.
retary Mellon is borne out by the re.
port now published. In the coming
session of Congress still further re.
ductions in the Federal taxes are
promised. Already those who support
the Secretary of the Treasury in his
line of reasoning-and they include
Democrats as well as Republicans
are preparing for the fray. The slo.
gan will be success should not be
penalized. The more a business can
earn, the more it can pay it's en-
ployes and stockholders, and the more
prosperity and contentment can be
widely distributed.
The total number of persons max
ing income tax returns for their in
come in 1923 was 7,6s8,321. Their
total income aggregated S26,336.337,. ;.
s43. The total paid was s7o3 1862, ,165.
The people of the District of Colum-
bia did their full share in the pay
ment of the Federal tax. OF the total
population of the District, 1876 made
returns showing a net income of
S284, 1922 ,234. and a total tax of $S,-
oS3.o50. This tax was greater than
that paid by "a of the States.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEEELL.

An old. standard ancedote runs af-
ter this fashion:
nervous gentleman retired for
the evening, only to be awakened
about midnight by the roomer on the
next floor.
Now he will drop his right shoe, as
usual, groaned the nervous gentle
man, waiting anXiously for the ex-
pected thump.
Bang Sure enough, the man over
head had dropped his shoe, as he had
done thousands of nights before.
The man below settled himself to
await the impact Of the left piece of
footgear. Seconds went by, minutes
passed into the great void of time
past, yet no thud followed.
1t finally became more than the
nervous gentleman could stand.
Leaning out the window, he yelled,
Drop the other shoe. drat you"
This story has struck, and will
continue to strike, sympathetic
chord in the hearts of thousands, who
have been annoyed at times by per.
sistent. repeated noises,
The occasional noise. no matter how
loud, has no such ability to get on
the nerves" as the sound repeated ad
nauseum. hammered away at time
after time. until the quiet listener
reels as If he could willingly murder
the offender.
Thrice happily are those so consti-
tuted that their nerve ends are hid
den away from these rude buffets by
SKIN OF more than ordinary thickness,
or, perhaps, whose very nerve fibers
themselves are less sensitively con.
stituted.
Such are, perhaps, not ANNOYED now
but they may be later! Time has a
peculiar knack of turning the laugh
on all of us.
The sensitive person gets little
sympathy in this world. He-more
often she-is not understood by
those whose mental and physical
makeup is along entirely differen mt
lines.
Thus the world of men NAV almost
be divided ainto two sections, accord,
ing to whether or not they are nor.
mally or acutely sensitive to outside
physical stimuli The normal man
hears well, for instance, but not too
well. That is where he is lucky.
His olfactory organs function well
enough for all ordinary uses, but his
sense of smell does not bother him
the odor Of a rose.
The unusually sensitive person, on
the other hand, has ears so acute that
they hear sounds which are inaudible
to the other. Bells at night beat In
upon him so powerfully that the
other thinks he is a fool if he at.
tempts TO describe the sensations
The sensitive person has powers of
smell like an animal. A bit OF
drifting smoke, in the night, entering
his chamber window. will wake him
instantly. The other, being insensi
tive TO this stimulus, says it does not
exist.
Yet it does. Flower odors. to a
dog or cat, are baneful, whereas you
and I. with less sensitive smelling
apparatus, find them enjoyable.
Approach a bouquet to a cat. He
is interested, at first. wriggling his
nostrils inquiringly-until he gets one
good sniff. Immediately he backs
away and If you attempt to hold his
head to the flowers will struggle
nightly to break loose.
1t Is all a matter of species, 81
kind, of sensitiveness within the in
dividual. and clearly comprises a
case where every one is law unto
himself In this matter, as in many
others. one cannot judge of Others
from himself.
