TAXES 1 ARE DUE TODAY
First Information of Coun- try's Finances Will
 Be Given

WASHINGTON. March 15.- American taxpayers have dug into their purses again to meet annual dues to Uncle Sam but with the gratifying knowledge that on the basis of their income tax payments this year a perman- ent reduction in rates may be possible in years to come.
 Awaiting returns from the first installment of income taxes which must be paid by today, March 15. the Senate Finance Committee is suspending judg- ment on what the total insert of tax reduction in the measure will be as received some time ago from the House. The returns will give the first real guage of the financial condition of the country during last year and if there is any appreciable drop in the nations income it will cloud a prospect of a measureabIe re- duction at this session of Con gress.
