Only 81 Per Cent
Pay Income Tax

An analysis by the internal revenue
bureau of statistics of income for 1925
as disclosed by returns filed up to
September l of last year shows some
interesting results. One of these is
that there was q very marked decline
in the number of individuals making
returns of taxable income. In state
ment issued simultaneously with the
report, Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury Mills says that for the full year
1924, 4,4S9,698 individuals made re-
turns of taxable income, while it is
estimated that for the full year 1925
approximately only 2,400,000 individ-
uals will be found to have returned
taxable incomes. This will represent
a decrease OF over 100000 taxable
returns. The total net income report
ed was about $4,000, 100000 less than
that set forth in the preliminary re-
port for the preceding year, and the
taxable income of those reporting was
reduced by about S1,240,000,0 0,000 Not
withstanding this reduction, however,
as we'll as lower tax rates, the total
tax collected was about 5 per cent
greater. The reason for this appar-
ent incongruity is indicated in the
statement that the large decrease in
the number of taxable incomes was
confined to those with net incomes of
less than $4,000, while the number of
those with net incomes in excess of
that sum increased. The larger in
comes exhibited heavy increases; Inc
deed, according to Mr.. Mills state
ment of the total tax returned, APP
proximately one-half was paid by
those with net incomes in excess OF
S95 900, and about 4812 per cent was
returned by those with net incomes
in excess of 100000. A striking
statement by the acting secretary is
that about 10000 persons paid as
much in income taxes as did about q
337 900 individuals who made taxable
returns. It appears from the prelim-
mary returns for the income year
1925, made in 1926, that .29 of l per
cent of the population paid over 50
per cent of the individual income tax,
while II per cent paid less than 5
per cent thereof, and the remainder,
about 80 per cent, paid no income

7 TRUCK LOADS OF BOGUS LABELS

One of the largest distributing houses
in the country has just been uncovered by
Prohibition Administrator Z. {. Yellow
ley in Chicago and seizure was made of
millions of labels, strip stamps, corks and
bottle caps to be used on Old Scotch,
Canadian, Maryland and Kentucky liq-
uors. All of the labels seized were exact
reproductions of the old-fashioned do
mestic and imported liquor labels. Agents
for the Prohibition Administrator found
that these labels and all the necessary
materials for making a bottle of moon
shine look like pre-war liquor were being
shipped to bootleggers from Seattle to
New Orleans and that large quantities
were shipped to Florida for use on the
liquor now being sold throughout the
East and South as having come from the
so-called rum row on the Florida coast.
An outgrowth of the investigation made
by Federal officers was the seizure of
some forty Autograph plates at Water
vliet, New York, by which every known
variety of counterfeit government strip
stamps were printed.

Chicago, October II AP).-Unless Chi
cago night clubs, hotels and cafes ban hip
liquor drinking by their patrons, they will
be padlocked for one year by federal in
junction, Prohibition Administrator Vel
loWley warned tonight. His warning was
made following the decision of the United
States Supreme Court refusing to pass on
the test case brought by propretors of the
Moulin Rouge and Friars' Inn, two of Chi
cago's downtown cabarets, which have
been padlocked by federal injunction be-
cause they served ice and ginger ale to
their patrons and did not take steps to
prevent them from drinking Intoxicating
liquor.
The action of the high court, Mr.. Vel
lowley sad gave prohibition authorities
the strongest weapon they have ever had
to enforce the Vo1stead law the action
"making it imperative that cafe, hotel and
night club owners prevent drinking of in
toxicants absolutely"
Mr.. Yelowley said that the action made
observation evidence" sufficient to war
s-nt convictions.

that the bare, unexplained possession eff
liquor by any person not legally permit
ted to possess it, is proof that such liq
uor is kept and kept unlawfully. II it is
possessed or kept in violation of Title II,
it does not appear to be important how
long or how short a time it is possessed
or kept. The allegation in each complaint
is that the nuisance complained of was a
continuing nuisance. The proofs show
that liquor was brought to these places
by their patrons and there consumed, on
repeated occasions. so often as To amount
to practice or custom. This would seem
to be sufficient to uphold finding that It
was kept there, even if there be included
in the definition of the word kept the Gle
ment of duration or continuance.
1T is urgently insisted that the Vol
stead Act nowhere prohibits the consump-
ton of liquor; that it does not prohibit
persons from eongregating together at
public places, such as these restaurants,
and there consuming their own liquor. In
view of the fact that, with certain excep-
tons not applicable here, mere possession
is forbidden, it is we'll to nemeslber that
consumption is impossible without pos
session by the consumer. II an essential
prerequisite Of consumption-and without
which consumption cannot be accom-
plished-is made unlawful, it certainly
was not intended to encourage consnmp-
ton. In view Of Section 3, declaring that
AL the provisions of this Act shall be
literally construed to the end that the Use
of Intoxicating liquor as beverage may
be prevented the legislative intent to pre-
vent the consumption of Intoxicating liq-
uor as beverage seems clear. TO con-
sumo it is to use it. To say that Congress
meant what it says in the above quoted
sections, of the statute, but did not intend
to declare as a nuisance a public restau-
rant where persons were continually per-
mitted to congregate and consume-use
as beverage-their own liquors, brought
there unlaWfully and there unlawfully
possessed is to give the provisions of the
Act liberal construction to the end that
its object may be defeated, not effected"

Section Is provides:
It shall be unlawful TO have or pos
sess any liquor or property designed for
the manufacture of liquor, intended for
use in violating this title or which has
been SO used, and no property rights
shall exist in any such liquor or prop
erty.'
"As applicable to the question in hand,
this Section Is reads:
1T shall be unlawful to have or pos
sess any liquor which has been used III
violating this title
The evidence shows, and it seems to
be conceded, that the persons consuming
the liquor brought it to the restaurants
that is, transported it there. Under this
section it was, when there, liquor which
had been used in violating the prohibition
against transporting as Set forth in Sec
ton g. and by the very terms of Section
Is above quoted it was unlawful to have
and possess it. So long as they had and
possessed it there, they kept it there in
violating this title
Section 80 of the Act provides:
After February l, 1920, the posses
sion of liquors by any person not legal
1y permitted under this title to possess
liquor shall be prima facie evidence that
such liquor is kept for the purpose of
being sod bartered, exchanged, given
away, furnished or otherwise disposed
of in violation Of the provisions OF this
title
"The use of the word kept in this Sec
ton is significant. The possession OF liq
uor is, on the face of it, made proof that
it is not only kept, but also kept for an
unlawful purpose. A place where liquor
is kept for any unlawful purpose de-
nounced by the statute is nuisance.
at may be suggested that the word
kept involves the idea of time, duration
or continuance; that there is a difference
between having or possessing, and keep
ing liquor The statute gives no warrant
for such a distinction. Section 80, as we
have seen, declares possession of liquor
to be prima facie evidence that it is
kept for an unlawful purpose. /: declares

erred in entering said decree in that un-
der Section p, Title II of the Vo1stead
Act, a place where customers or third
persons congregate and drink intoxicat-
ing liquor brought there by themselves,
is not a nuisance within the abatement
provisions of the said Volstead Act
TN the briefs of appellants it is stated:
The issues, in the MAN, depend up
on the meaning of the word kept as
used in Section q and Title II Of the
National Prohibition Act
at is earnestly contended that if, with
the knowledge and consent of appellants,
persons patronizing their restaurants con-
sumed or drank as beverage intoXicat-
ing liquor brought there by themselves
and not furnished or sold by the proprie-
tors, or if the restaurants were shown to
be places where customers or third per-
sons congregated and drank as bever-
age Intoxicating liquor brought there by
themselves, such facts would not make
the places common nuisances under Sec
ton q.
Section q provides:

eating liquor is manufactured, sold kept,
or bartered in violation of this title, and
all Intoxicating liquor and property kept
and used in maintaining the same, is
hereby declared to be a common nui-
sance.'
Attention is called to the fact that this
section does not say any place where the
proprietor thereof keeps liquor, but de-
clares any PLACE where liquor is kept
in violation of the 1aW-NO NATTER

nuisance. We may, therefore, put to one
side the contention that the proprietors
were not shown to have kept the liquors.
"The question, then, comes to this:
Were the intoxicating liquors, brought to
the restaurants and there consumed as
above stated, KEPT there in violation of
the provisions of Title II?
