INCOME TAX DROPS
FOR THIRD QUARTER
Hope to Keep Cut Retained
as Returns Fail to Dis
turb Treasury.

BY the Associated Press.
Income tax collections for the third
quarter, which were due Monday, are
falling below those of year ago.
Treasury officials said today. How
ever, they were not disturbed over these
returns and still hoped the low tax
schedule could be continued next year.
Several days will pass before the
final returns for the third quarterly
payments are received at the Treas
ury. Income tax payments 80 far this
month totsled $1o7.s21, 1928, compared
with $20e,5s7, 436 for the same period
last year, when the higher rates were
in effect.
The Treasury statement continues to
show increased expenditures this year
for the Government above last year, to-
gether with decreased receipts. Under
secretary Ogden Mills emphasized today
that this condition had been expected
and was taken into account by the
Treasury when it was estimated recently
that there was hope of continuing the
tax reduction. The per cent slash
was made effective for last year only.
Administration officials expect Gus
toms receipts, which have fallen down
this year, to pick UP again after the
unsettling caused by enactment of the
new tariff law has passed.
During this fiscal year which began
on July /. the margin of Government
expenditures above receipts totaled
$2S3, 2oS, 1872.
