GENERAL GAIN SEEN
IN INCOME TAXES
March Payments for District and
Maryland Increase to
$10,781,676.

Increase in income tax collections
for Maryland and the District. of Co
lumbia as well as for the most of the
Nation, was shown in figures for the

412,739 higher than March lasa year.
The taxes for Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia rose from So ,296,552
to S10,781.676
The figures include payments made
March Is, the firsx regular receiving
date for taxes to be paid this year.
They showed New York with the Iarg-
est collection; Florida with the great
est proportionate increase, and eight
States and Hawaii with lower returns
than last year. States showing de-
clines were Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Alabama. Geor-
gia, New Mexico, Oregon and Wis
consin.
Figures from nearby States were as
follows: Virginia, increased from SO,
563.165 to $5,590,729i West Virginia
from $685. ,191 to $2.9O5, ,S6J; North

The increase in income taxes was
all the more significant. as rates un-
der the 1926 revenue law under which
the increase came in are lower than
those of the old revenue law, under
which taxes were paid in March of
last year.
