The studies were made at the Public

The same were found also from cases

FAILURE MAY WAIT
GANDH|'S PURPOSE
Indian Leader to Face
Harder Task In Resisting
British Election Edict.

Mahatma Gandhi's dramatic prepara-
tions for a fast unto death" cause
many observers familiar with Indian
problems to wonder whether he will be
as successful in mobilizing world opin-
ion against the British plan for elee-
toral representation in India as he was
in winning sympathy for his tight for
independence.
Gandhi's newest gesture is designed
as protest against the plan announced
by Premier Ramsay Macdonald for
India's 60,000,0G0 "untouchables" and
other minorities in the provincial leg
islatures proposed for India.
The fact that foreign writers have
pictured so tragically the plight of
these 'untouchables" and have spoken
so feelingly of what they term the in
humanity" Of the Hindus fight to pre-
serve the caste system which degrades
these peoples. leads many observers to
believe that Gandhi viii face a heavy
handicap in attempting to turn world
opinion against MacDonalds plan.
England Acted Unwillingly.
When Macdonald announced the de-
cision OF the British government about
Indian electoral representation on AT
gust is. he made it clear that Great
Britain took this action unwillingly and
only because the Hindus were dead
locked and seemed unable to reach any
compromise which might protect the
interests of Moslcrls. Sikhs. untouch-
ables and persons of other creeds and
classes despised by the Hindus.
TIE Hindus number about 238,000,000
of mdia'S total estimated population OF
351 100000. In the Indian Round Ia
BILE Conferences, held by Great Britain
In an effort to find some plan for giving
India a greater degree of self-govern-
ment. they have stood against separate
elections for the n1inoritie5. The Mos
lens and other relieionists have insisted
that such elections are necessary to
guarantee them representation and pro-
tect their interests.
MacDonald's plan for elections was
not final. 1t provided that if the In
dians could agree among themselves
upon some other satisfactory arrange
ment the British government would ac-
Cept it.
Under the Macdonald plan the un-
touchables in some provinces are to
have two votes each. one in general
constituencies and the other for men,
bers of their own class. This arrange
ment is temporary and is to end in 20
years. but is considered necessary by
the British government to give the
doWntrodden people a chance to estab-
lish their rights.

The unusual Christmas gift will
be the rule this year. according to
the pessimists, because it will be
unusual to get anything at all.
Ignoring them, 10 must be &C
knowlsdged that the season so far
has produced no novelty to vie
with the electric worm digger,
which made 1881 a vintage Yule-
tide. And yet there are many
extraordinary items on the coun-
tiers this season.
There is, for instance, a rubber
thing which looks like fly swat
ter. with which a woman may
reach out into the rain and catch
few drops for application to her
cheeks.
This is called a rain patter, and
is supposed to be very good for
the complexion, if it does not run.
1t also proves that one smart
enough to come in out of the rain
may wish to bring the rain in
after one. and it costs only 50.
The rain is free.

Three Out of Four in Magic
Circle Tumble From
Proud Position.
DEEP CUT FOR INCOMES
Corporations Are Especially

BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times STAFF Writer


WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Three
Of every four of Americas million
aires"-persons with income of
$4,000 a year or more-were de-
throned from their eminence be-
tween 1928 and 1881, the treasury's
annual analysis of income tax fig
ures showed today.
And the $1,000 900 a year incomes
reported by individuals dropped
from 5ll in 1928 to only seventy-five
in 1881.
The millionaire" incomes of
$4,000 up totaled 3,184 in 1928, and
actuaries estimated that at least
cne-half of these actually possessed
capital of S1,OOO,000.
But last year this classification
numbered only 10,779. Their aggre-
gate net taxable income was re-
ported at 1892 ,659,75 compared
with more than six billion dollars
which the 43,184 richest" men and
women reported to the tax collectors
in 1923.
Four Get Five Millions in 1881
OF the seventy-five multi million
aires, four had incomes last year
Of more than 100000 each. The
net income of the four together
amounted to $38 1858, ia. Seven other
rich men, receiving between $3000,-
600 and $5,000,000 each a year, re-
ported an aggregate of $25, 633 ,048.
The income reported in 1881 by
all those fortunate enough to be
required to file income tax returns,
whether their incomes were taxable
or not, amounted to $13,231 1852 ,042.
In 1880 the total was more than
seventeen billions, as compared with
twenty-five billions in the peak
year of 1923 and twenty-three bill
lions in 1920.
The individual income tax paid
this year on 1881 incomes amounted
to only $241, 282,875, most of it COM
ing from the middle bracket" in
comes of from $4,000 to $200,00O
year. The four men with incomes
of more than $5,000,OO0 a year paid
SIS, 755, 400 in taxes
Corporations Hard Fit
But the corporation returns
showed even more drastic results of
the depression. Out of 1928
corporation reports, only 1858
showed a net income. The gross in
come of these concerns was $44,512@
100000, the net income was So
110,0O0000, and the tax paid was
1891 100000.
The returns of 269,7O4 corpora
tons which showed no net income,
and therefore paid no tax, listed
deficits aggregating $6,087, 626,724,
on a gross income of $48, 100000, 900.
These figures compare with net
taxable corporation income total
Of $5627 100000 for 1880, and
deficit of slightly more than 81
0O0OOO,O00 by the non-profit report
ing corporations.
Back in 1923 the profit-making
corporations reported gross income
of more than $127,OOOOOO,00O and
taxable income of nearly $4,000
100000.

Technocracy assumes that our
physical and social well-being is
dependent on physical COM
modities and their use.
Everything necessary to this
well-being is produced by energy,
whether that energy is delivered
by men or machines.
And energy, as every one knows,
is definite and measurable. 1t is,
says Technocracy, the only intan-
gible factor of our present-day
scheme which can be measured in
tangible terms.
For example, so many thermal
units of heat produce so much
steam to strip so much iron ore,
which in turn is transported by
determinable number of horse
