TAXES ARE HEAVY
In MANY STATES
CONTINUED from first page)


the next heaviest per capita payers
of federal taxes, owing, at least as
the former two are concerned,
largely to the heavy payments of
corporation income taxes emanating
from companies whose main offices
are located in these states. The
lowest federal per capita taxes are
Maid by the agricultural states, par
ticularly in the South and the
Northwest, which is explained by
the conference board study as due
TO the fact that the bulk of federal
taxes consists of income tax pay
ments, and most of agricultural in
come is exempt from income taxa
ton by reason of personal exemp-
tions.
The average amount of per capita
federal taxes paid by New York for
the years 1919, 1922 and 1924 was
SSO.48 annually; North Dakota,
(which pays the lowest federal per
capita tax, paid an average of $13.29
for the years indicated. Massa-
chusetts' average was $56.S4, Penn
svlvania's $42.81, Illinois paid S46.94
and Michigan $52.6S average per
annum in 1919, 1922 and 1924.
Five leading industrial states,
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts and Ohio, paid 51.S
per cent or more than half of all
federal taxes in 1919, and 40 per
cent, or a little less than half, in
1924. Including five additional in
1A.soT c4of0e NTiobsUan Cn1ifOr.
mia, New Jersey, Missouri and Wis
consin, the ten leading manufacture
ing commonwealth have paid two
thirds of the total federal tax bill
during the five year period, 1919 to
1924.
But comparing taxes paid in 1924
with those of 1919, it is found that
some of the industrial states, as
New York, Delaware, Massachus-
etts, Rhode Island and others,
which pay the highest federal per
capita tax and contribute most to
the support of the federal govern
ment show a decline in their aggre-
gate tax burden, while the total tax
burden of the agricultural states re-
mains high in proportion to income.
This. the conference board points
out. on one hand reflects the benefit
derived by the industrial states
from recent federal tax reduction,
as they pay the largest portion of
the federal tax bill; on the other
hand it reflects the rising expendi-
lures of state and local administra-
tions, which form the larger por-
tion of the total tax burden in agri-
cultural communities. Agricultural
depression, as in North and South
Dakota and Minnesota, has further
aggravated the burdensOmeness OF
taxation in these states because OF
reduced income.
Per capita taxes paid for state
and local government support aver
age highest in Nevada, with Cali
fOrnia. New York, Minnesota, Mas
sachusetts, Oregon, South Dakota
and New Jersey following in order.
The Southern states rank lower in
per capita taxes raised for state and
local administration purposes, with
Alabama at the bottom of the list.
The per capita is relatively severe
in some of the agricultural states,
particularly in the Northwest and
on the Pacific coast.

BOY SCOUTS

At meeting of the Board of Com

Council, Boy Scouts of America. held
September IS, the Scout contests for
the coming year were approved and
the contest committee was discha rged
after having arranged the best group
Of contests which have ever been of

masters with the bulletin October 6.
The troop efficiency contest for The
Evening star Trophy is the one of
outsta ndng Importance for the COM
ing season. II has been broadened
considera bly, and now stands as
contest that will bring into play every
phase of troop and Scout activities.
Greater emphasis has been placed on
hiking and patrol meetings: the
monthly report to headquarters has
also been made worth attention. and
the value of the civic good turn In
the contest has been greatly enhanced.
In addition, the new regulations pro
vide for a second final inspection Of

to size of tr" OPS. so that small troops
will compete against small troops. me
dium troops VS.. medium troops. etc.
The point scale has been rearranged
and there is now q premium on ten
derfoot Scouts registered. Points will
be figured this year by dividing total
points by active registered member
ship on the first of the month instead
Of last of month. as last year.
In the drill contest the clause re
quiring more than two squads for
large troops was cut out. and this
year. regardless of the troop size. only
two squads will be required. The com.
manders of the group will also be re.
lieved to learn that they may consult
the list of commands while on the
field If they wish.
Some OF the improvements in the
swimming competitions consist Of
three classes of weights. in order to
make the contest more nearly equal ,
