RAD|OSPARALLEL
STATE TAXES PAID
Audiences Largest Where
Most Personal Income Is
Returned, Survey Shows.

Radio audiences are largest In those
States whose citizens pay the largest
personal income tax. The number of
sets in use corresponds more closely to
State income tax totals shown in
United States Treasury returns than
to any other factor. This is revealed in
survey of radio receiving sets in use
by States as of January /, 1928, Just
completed by leading New York radio
periodical.
The size of the local radio audience
was found to parallel not only income
tax receipts but also the number of
automobiles in use In the same territory.
In fact, State population was a second
airy factor. Everything seemed to point
to prosperity as the base index to the
largest radio audience, although the
population factor could by no means
be left out of account.
The national radio audience was esti-
mated to comprise about 100000 per-
sons. There was no way of reckoning
the Canadian, Mexican and Cuban audi
ences of American stations. It was
found that IL 10000 to 100000 sets
were in use including hundreds OF thou
sands crystal and one-tube receivers of
obsolete type. It was estimated there
