954 Million Allotted by Pres.
ident to Entire Coun.

The District has shared to the ex-
tent Of $4,o48, l08 in a total of 1854.
9l6,805 in works-relief funds allo-
Gated to date by President Roosevelt

countersigned by Controller General
McCarl. That represents the sum
actually turned over in cash.
Out Of total Of s7,ll3,245,89l in
applications for w. P. A. projects sub
mitted by all the States, the President
has approved projects totaling 81 ,907.-
632,459, or more than double the
amount actually allocated. Since Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins has only
81, TOO, 100000 at his disposal for
w. P. A. jobs, the amount Of money
released by the controller general
represents only about one-third Of his
goal for spending.
The $4,048,l08 in funds allocated
to the District Works Progress Admin
istration under Commissioner George
E. Allen is only about one-third OF the
total amount he has requested from w.

Twice they were checked by the
Cubs. When the Tigers won their

the Cubs winning to ! victory for

small taxpayer finds their yield small
and the supplemental yield to him

supplemented by a very valuable tax

when Congress, therefore, writes
rates such as apply to the wage earn
ers, salaried men, the small business
men or the professional men. it may
be sure that most of them will pay
the full legal rate upon their entire

rates in the higher brackets, however.
it must be remembered that they will
apply to but a part of the taxpayers

the higher brackets, according to our

Of this fact rates apparently severe

While the regulations require that
tax exempts shall be reported, al
though not taxed, a substantial num-
Der of taxpayers, including some of the

'The So taxpayers reported the
ownership of $461 ,000, 900 tax-exempt
securities and tax-free income there

against taxable income of the group
amounting to $57,015. 900. The exemp-
ton on this group cost the Govern
ment in 1882, 1886, 900 in taxes.
This study indicates that our tax laws
wholly fail to reach about 81 per cent
OF the income actually enjoyed from
all sources by those whose incomes
are over a million dollars q year.
THE study also reveals gross in
equalities of taxation between the

TREASURY BANS
STATE TAX TOKENS
Morgenthau Holds Them
Illegal-Sub- Coin
Drive Reopened.
,Y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Morgenthau will notify
four States that their sales tax tokens
are illegal.
Legal experts in his department
have concluded that use Of tokens
manufactured by States for payment
of subpenny sales taxes is illegal, and
Illinois, Colorado, Missouri and Wash
ington will be notified Immediately Of
the decision. Morgenthau said. The
tokens represent fractions of a penny.
The Treasury's move was interpreted
in some monetary circles as reopen
ing Of drive for congressional ap-
proval Of Federal coinage Of half-cent
pieces and mills (one-tenth OF a cent?.
Morgenthau asked the House Coins,
Weights and Measures Committee a
month ago to legalize fractional COIN
age" but his bill was pigeon -holed on
grounds it was drawn up too
broadly"
The midget pieces are sought by
the Treasury to meet demands from
sales taxes areas. At present, per-
sons making small purchases often
are required to pay a cent even though
the tax may be smaller.
The Treasury's ban against State
coined tokens does not apply to trolley
tokens, Morgenthau said They are
regarded as commodity for exchange
purposes, while tax tokens are given
as change in a monetary transaction.
"The mints are prepared to supply
the need for fractional coins quickly
If the necessary legislation is enacted"
he said, adding he hoped Congress
would not embarraSs States by refus-
ing to pass the legislation.
