from President Hoover and others for

GET INFORMATION
ON TAX SHRLNKAGE
First Quarter lnstalIments on
income Taxes Expected
Near $2o0,ooo,o00

Washington, March l5.-(R-From
a much reduced army Of income tax
payers the treasury Tuesday receives
returns on the earnings of last year,
learning for the first time just how
great an income shrinkage has &C.
CURED since the years Of booming
prosperity.
The government will be lucky. Of
ficials believe, If the first quarter pay
ments, which must be made with the
returns by the deadline Of Tuesday
midnight, amount to as much as
5000, 0O0, 900. This means. their maxi
mum expectation for 1891 income
taxes is not far from $500, 100000.
Not more than 1000. 900 persons are
expected to pay q tax this year while
q year ago approximately 1850 900
contributed.
Taken by fiscal years, receipts dur
irg the term from last July to next
June are not expected to total more
than $1,000, 000,0 900, the lowest re-
ceived for such period since the In
come tax law went into effect IN 1911.
In 1928 they hit the previous low at
81 800 100000. Ever since then they
had climbed until q peak Of $2,4l0.-
000, 900 was received in 1880.
II the first quarter collections to-
tai In the vicinity Of two hundred
millions, they will compare with $685.
100000 a year ago: $3.50 900 900 In 1890
and $60l 900 900 in 1929.
It will be several days before the to-
tai OF collections can be learned.
Last figures on the treasury condi-
lions, as Of March II. listed a deficit
Of q, 1851, 786.1l7 for the year, repre-
senting the difference between expen-
ditures, and total collections Of 81
500, coo 900. These included $679, $685.
600 income taxes.

revenue by dropping the canned foods
taxes was $ll.000,000.
Consider New Sources
1.-THE committee 1t another meeting
will consider new sources Of revenue

be passed virtually intact.
Representative Cullen Of New York,
leader of the Tammany delegation.

Bismarck established an all-time
voting record Tuesday.
Interest in the capital removal
election brought every eligible voter
to the polls for the presidential pri-
mary with the result that 4,03l bal
lots had been cast at 2 p. m. Since
this figure included only q few alb
sent voters ballots and many Of the
latter remained to be counted, it was
evident that the total count at that
hour was in excess of the previous
maximum Of 4,2l9 registered at the
general election in 1928.
Although the American Legion had
set up an organization to check on
those who had failed to appear at the
polling places, 1t appeared that the
veterans would have little to do.
Bismarck folks came to the polls
voluntarily-and early.
A surprising thing reported in
every precinct was the application
Of hitherto unheard Of voters for
ballots. Many were being sworn in.
