INCOME ESTIMATES
BATTLE OFFICIALS.
Treasury Unable to Figure
How Much Taxes VIII Bring
in This Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Treasury experts, who in years past
have forecast almost exactly the
amount of income tax the Government
would collect on March Is each year,
find themselves in a quandary this year
and unable to find basis upon which
to estimate tax receipts next month.
The sharp decline In income in 1880,
which caused income tax collections last
year to drop of $3.50, 900, 900, was con-
tinued in 1881. In addition taxpayers
will write off losses this year, it is
feared, in greater amounts than last
year. The deductions which will be
taken for losses have been the stun
bling block to making accurate esti-
mates of the amount that may be col
lected from the first installment Of tax
In 1881 incomes. This is due the 18th
Of next month.
Volume of Returns Drops.
In all, probably less than 200o, 900
persons will pay income tax this year.
In normal years the number was re-
duced from around 100000 to 2,500,-
900 through broadening of exemptions,
but the decreased business is expected
to take about half million persons off
the list because their incomes have
dropped below the taxable amount.
If the Government collects $3.50, ,000,-
600 from income tax payments next
month officials will feel they are lucky,
but some doubt that this amount will
be realized.
Last year the March IS tax payments
amounted to S334,830, drop of
$225 100000 from the year previous
while in 1929 the first quarter returned
the record amount of $6o1, 1858, 900 and
in 1928, $515,669,Oo
25,O0O Get Notices.
Income tax payments this fiscal year
(since last July u have amounted to
$651, ,058,714, as compared with ST.
162,717,l08 in the same period of the
previous year.
While the experts are fretting them
selves over the amount of tax to be re-
ceived this year about $4,000 taxpayers
throughout the Nation are getting the
sad news that their 1880 income tax
payments are insufficient and they
must pay up in go days the difference
the Internal Revenue Bureau believes
is due, or carry their case to the United
States Board of Tax Appeals.
Under the 1928 revenue law income
tax cases are outlawed after two years
so the 1890 cases would be outlawed
after March is unless the bureau noti-
fed the taxpayers of the deficiency.
Such action suspends the statute Of
limitations until the case has been de-
cided
At about the time the income tax
payments are due. the Treasury will
have to conduct its March financing
to meet maturing securities and to
operate the Government until the next
tax collections come in. This year it is
probable the financing will have to be
larger than usual Some observers
have guessed the financing would be
around $8oO,Oo0,000 in short-term
securities.

Democratic party" said Moses. In
the other branch he has faced a men,

tile to him. Yet in the face of these
difaculties the Presidents program of
domestic legislation has been Quickly
enacted into law. In my opinion this
action is merely reflection Of public
opinion throughout the country.
People know that the President has
studied out difficulties. Thev know
that he has formulated a program for
lifting the Nation out of the economic
depression. They want it tried While
there are a lot of folks who are not

IN seems to have visited the ZOO
to find one OF the newest sports

gone the zebra one-or two or three

And the ways they are used are
legion. II you want something very
different looking. try your stripes
just around the sleeves, from wrist
to elbow.
Wear Them in Scarf
Or just band of them at the
elbow, with the same stripes out
lining the neckline.
Wear them in a scarf on a plain
color dress. In a waistcoat with a
tweed suit. Have them in your
sweaters, knit dresses, jackets and
blouses.

Large Color Areas

A bright color for skirt and a
