2O6 NEW MILLIONAIRES

The class character OF the prosperity being
enjoyed n the United States Is made evident IN
preliminary report Of the internal Revenue Blu
reau on incomes for 1925, the report being COM
plled from returns made 10 August 81 last year.
1t Is an amazing story Of enormous profits de-
rived from stocks, the emergence Of more persons
IN the millionaire income class, and rise N the
Level Of net incomes Of those who come within the
provisions Of the income tax.
The periods covered by the report include the
beginning Of the gambling IN stocks that wiped
out the holdings Of hundreds Of thousands Of In
veStors last year The increase IN one year Of the
number Of those who obtain income of a million
dollars and those who receive five million or more
indicates the tremendous riches that are flowing
into the hands Of tiny fraction Of the popula-
ton.
The outstanding features OF the report are:
Recipients Of incomes OF s1,OOO,OOO or more
numbered 400, an increase Of zoe, or more than
20 per cent, over the previous year.
Twenty-four persons had incomes of S5OOO,OOO
OF more, as compared with eleven in the preced-
ing period.
Profits taken IN the stock market and IN the
sale Of capital assets ether than stocks and bonds,
such as real estate, tOtalled s4,7S6152,771, as
against $3.50. ISL .sTs IN 1927,
The aggregate net income Of individuals was
So CPS ASS 175, an increase Of sos, 17026S, or
sOs per cent, over 1927.
The average net income was s607S-eS, the aver
age amount OF tax liability S2S1-97, and the aver
age tax rate 4-64 per cent.
Individual returns filed I'D to August 81, 1929,
numbered 4.O5O.559, with 2,4S4,64O reporting tax
able incomes, decline OF Il ,2S5, from 1927.
significant phase Of the report is the last
item above There were II ,2SS less individual re-
turns made compared with the previous year while
the sums paid By individuals as income tax in
creased by per cent These figures also reveal
the drift Of income into the hands Of fewer num-

does not see the underlying economic conflict II
Imperialism. He thinks that liberal England by
offering the Indian people freedom and self-gOv-
eminent under Dominion status ike that OF Can
ada and Australia, could retain India as con-
tented land Of course immensely importantly mem
Der of the British Empire.
So he gives away his case. He is afraid OF rev
oiution. BY granting dominion status" he
thinks, England can still retain India but ar the
same time avert violent uprising. If England
does not forestan It, India will become "a smold-
ering volcano Of unrest certain in distant day
20 burst into an eruption of the most dangerous
possible character"
~And midas revolution, If It comes" he con-
cudes, will be sympathized by al Asia and by al
intelligent lovers Of liberty n the entire world.
And there viii be no possibility Of Its being put
Gown. India viii emerge q free, independent and
great nation, wholly independent Of Britain"
The volcano Is bursting sooner than Sunderland
expected. And the eruption is Inevitable.
No one who has been IN India can ever forget
the sunken cheeks and under-nourished bodies OF
workers and peasants. Over S2O,0O0,OOO people
and most Of them are hungry most Of the time
But worse than this continuous semi-starvatiOn
has been the terrible submiSsiveneSs OF the Indian

Instantly Indian police officer, serving his
foreign masters roughly pushes aside waiting
line Of Indian workers and ushers the white
woman 10 the stamp window. The stamps bear
the imprint not Of free India but OF the British
empire exacting tribute from q subject race.
Sunderland sees the smOldering resentment that
results What he does not see, IN spite OF al his
vivid pictures Of midas bondage, is that not even
liberal England could avert revolt Certainly
The present policy Of MacDOnald's government is
not averting It. Workers and peasants can stand
it no longer. They are already on strike in 8

Another little 4Steed of the North" has taken the last trail.
 Kobuk, the magnificent speci- men of Alaska malamute and pet of Mrs. Schallerer, proprie- tor of the Alaska Shop, is dead. It Is thought he was poisoned.
 There is little use to endeavor to express what the loss of KO- bulk means to the owner, nor the opinion of this paper as to what 1t thinks of the alleged poisoner; but a brief history of the famous dog should be record ed.
 Kobuk first saw the light of day July 28, 1925, sired by shad- dock and Tduniak, Shaddock be- ing imported from Baffin Land The mother, Tduniak came from Magnetic Pole village and was, perhaps, better known as Arctic Princess
 Mrs. Schallerer purchased Ko- bulk from Wm. A. Thomas, the latter having secured him from Knud Rasmussen. Kobuk was a friendly dog and a pet of all, If he howled a bit at times, or perhaps had killed chicken or two he was but following nat ural instincts; what dog hasn't enjoyed that sport to some ex- tent.
