nary compilation Of Bureau of Internal

that 1t had cost the Government an
average Of SLIT per $500 for collection
or the same as last year
Mr.. Lucas statistics disclosed that
there had been a gain over the preced-
ing year lin only four of the nine major
items under which internal revenue re-
ceiptS are classified. The increases
from taxes on incomes, estates, tobacco
and stamps and playing cards was more
than sufficient to overcome the losses
recorded in admissions and dues, cor
poration capital stock and other special
taxes, distilled spirits and cereal bev-
erages and miscellaneous levieS under
which collections of delinquent taxes
assessed by provisions now repealed are
classified.
$4,000, 900 Refunded by u. s.
The detailed figures showed that field
investigations and Office audits had re-
suited in adding S405, 855,475 to the
total shown on first returns of tax
payers. Against this sum, however. the
Government was compelled to refund
$l90.164.3 59 including interest. on taxes
which had been illegally collected in
prior years. Interest on the refunds ag-
gregated $40, .057. the figures showed.
Refunds were made on 1877 1877 claims,
as follows: Capital stock tax, $2,408,-
PAT: estate. $17,234,384 income, $685.
63,94o; sales. $4,996,9 $50: spirits and
narcotics, $l13,314: tobacco, 81 ,841, and
miscellaneous $45.67l.
Taxes on incomes showed the great
est gain over the preceding year. with
net addition OF $l56,70l, 1925, but to-
bacco taxes also were higher than 1923.
The statement showed net gain of
$37,994,502 over the preceding year, to-
tai receipts from the levy on all forms
of tobacco being S434. 444, SAB, or more
han two-thirds of $615 1862 434, COL
lected from miscellaneous taxes.
Miscellaneous Revenue Increases.
The miscellaneous levies yielded
roughly 100000 more in the last year
than in the 1928 fiscal year, a fact
which disclosed the Importance of to-
bacco taxes to the Governments rev.
enue.
Stamps taxes, with which the tax on
playing cards is included, produced
$64.173.530. or almost $l5,000,000 more
than the year before.

you're a bum-bum-bum. In
sweeping the club to the top,
keep in mind that it weighs only
a few ounces, and therefore is
not heavy; certainly it requires
no great effort to lift it up
there. Therefore, at the top,
you should stand in position,
weight largely against your

lightly though firmly. You can
easily attain this comfortable,

VETERANS RIGHT TO APPLY
FOR ADJUSTED SERVICE GER
TIFICATE EXPIRES JAN. 2, 80

January 2, 1880 is the last day on
which World War Veterans who
have not already done so may make
application for Adjusted Service
Certificate, the so-called Federal
Bonus"
In 1924, Congress authorized the
issuance of a paid-up 20-year en-
dowment insurance policy to all
World War veterans, both enlisted
men and officers below the rank of
Major. The amount or face value of
the certificate is determined by the
number of days the veteran was ac-
tually in the military or naval SER
vice.
In fixing the maturity date Con-
gress was governed by two major
considerations. The first was a de-
sire to make the certificate payable
at that time of life when most vet
Grams will be planning to reduce
their hours of labor, or perhaps to
retire from active business. In the
event the veteran died before the
maturity date of the Certificate,
Congress desires to help care for the
bereaved families. The second con-
sideration was the huge cost to the
taxpayers. The Government is al
ready obligated for almost four bill
lion dollars by reason of applica-
tions already received.

Miss Mary Kinder, a member of
the high school faculty, who has
charge of the school banking, this
past week conducted what might be
called a Thrift Campaign Each
grade was visited and told Of the
merits of saving, no matter how
small the deposit. If it is only
few cents, it is saved if it is placed
in the savings fund on each Tuesday
morning. The per cent of depositors
has been so low that the banks as
well as the teachers were much dis
couraged, being only Is per cent. At
ter Miss Kinder explained that it
was the number of depositors they
wished increased rather than the
amount they gave, the response was
most gratifying. The ninth grade
girls with Miss Tatman as the teach
er have the honor of being the only
group to turn in a 1000 envelope.
Miss Markart was next with "a
out of 25 making a desposit. Miss
Kinder was pleased to find the per-
centage has been increased to fifty.
