STATIC SPOILS CONVENTION. The weather conditions preceeding the storm of early this morning, made the conditions for receiving the radio reports of the democratic national convention last evening far from pleasant and old man Static was found to be right on the job and while the anxious followers of the convention dope gathered early at the V.'eyrich & Iladraba drug store where the large receiving set has been taking off the speeches and votes in fine shape, they found that the static was too rtrong for any intelligent receiving of the reports." Even the voice ot the a nmunccr and Senator Walsh was unable to com pete with the air interference and ithe eager listeners wore compelled tot take it out m surmising what the gathering of democrats was doing. This is the first ti:r.- that the news of the convention ha-, been interfer ed with to any seri;".s extent by the static, aitho slight disturbances have marked several days of the meeting. MACBONMS VISIT IS AID TO HERRIOT Forestalls Poincare's Attack ulei for Today Stirs Controversy. Sched TJp Paris. July 7. Former Premier Poincare's plans for a stinging at tack on the Herriot government to morrow on the policy regarding the reparations commission report- have been sadly deranged by Prime Min ister MacDonald's forthcoming visit, and after a meeting of the various opposition group tonight, it was an nounced that nine hostile speeches scheduled for tomorrow will not be made. M. Poincare's attack has been put off until Friday, as it would be im possiMf to overthrow the govern ment whiie the British, prime minis- 'Iter was carrving 0:1 important con versations. Th" opposition groups are working up steam now over the "trick" sup-po:-"d!y involve'! in Mr. MacDonald's visit. They accused M. Heriott of arranging the af."air in order to stave off th; attack and possible defeat of the government. A violent con troversy in the press and parliament is certain to be precipitated by this attitude, which the Poincarist press is expected to assume tomorrow morning as a result of tonight's meet in go f the opposition forces. Paris. July 7, The swift ma neuver of Premier Heriott of France in getting Prime Minister MacDonald of England to come to Paris tomorrow, thus forestalling for mer Premier Raymond Poincare and his other oppoinen.ts in the senate, who are prepared to put him on the gridiron, has upset all calculations, in political and parliamentary cir cles. The conviction that the Herriot cabinet was in danger had penetrated even government circles. Postpone ment of the debate in the senat?. ne cessitated by the visit cf the British prime minister, makes little change in the situation, but it gives M. Her riot time to make a further effort to come to an agreement with the P.riiish premier before he is interpel lated in the upper house. It is admitted that it will make an enormous difference if the premier is able when the debate comes up probably on Thursday, to tell the senators that Thursday, to tell the senators that France and Great Britain are finally in complete ac cord us to how the reparations plane should be put into effect.

Washington, income of $21, C July 7. A total net 12.530 an amount equivalent to the gross debt of the nation was reported subject to fed eral taxes by citizens of the United 1 States for the calendar year 11)22. it was disclosed in statistics cf incomes for that year, made public by the treasury. On this income the federal gov ernment received $SCl,0.r)7,20S from the fi.787.4Sl persons who admitted tax liability. This shows an increase over 1921 of 141.C70.2U2 or 1G.C9 per cent in tax paid; of 125, 30O in the number of returns filed, and of S 1 ,75!. uoo.Ouo intotal income sub ject to taxation. The average net income per return for 1922 was $3,143.26 per taxpayer, while each theoretically paid $126.- SG toward the upkeep of the govern ment, and their taxes were at the rate of 4.o4 per cent of their net in comes. Average Income of $194.72 Based on the 1920 census, ti.2 per cent of the total population paid taxes and by the basis of calculation, each American citizen, whether man, woman or child, had a net income for 1922 of $194.72, just $10 higher than in 1921. The per capita tax by the federal government amounted to J7.7G almost $1 more than in the previous year, in which, however, a different schedule of tax levies was in effect. The year 1922 produced returns for 67 net incomes of $1,000,000 and over, the highest for this class since IMS, when a similar number were reported. There were 21 such in comes reported in 1921. In the class between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in comes there were 161 returns as compared with 63 for 1921. There were fewer returns showing net income between $400,000 and $500,000 than between $500,000 and $1,000,000. One hundred and four returns in that class were reported, or 4 more than in the preceding year. 12.000 in $50.000-$100,000 Class There were 12,000 persons report ing net incomes between $50,000 and $100,000. a gain of 4,000 over 1921; 2,171 with incomes between $100,000 and $150,000 and 763 with incomes between $150,000 and $200, 000. In the lower brackets the statistics show that 2.4 7 1,1 SI persons paid taxes on net incomes between $1,000 and $2,000, and 2.129.S9S filed re turns of incomes between $2,000 and $3,000. There were 785,267 returns in the class from $3,000 to $4,000; 404, SOS between $4,000 and $5,000; 301,373 between $5,000 and $10,000, and 90.27S between $10,000 and $15,000. In the classes between $1,000 and $10,000, the number filing tax re turns was substantially the same as for previous years. In each case, however, the number was slightly larger in 1922 than in 1921. From this conclusion was drawn that the income of some 5.000,000 taxpayers remained relatively constant, the change in the average number over a period of four years being less than 6 per cent. STORAGE WOULD AVERT CHANGES OF A GOAL FAMINE Urge Householders and Others to Buy Coal on Uniform Demand System. New York, July 7. Danger of a coal famine would be eliminated, in dustry' stabilized, railroads relieved and the consumer's coal bill ultimate ly cut by seasonable storage of coal, it is asserted in the report of the storage of coal committee of the American Engineering Council made public here today. "The storage of coal," the report declares, "is essentially necessary as an aid to the solution of the na tional coal problem and is an eco nomic and practicables means of in suring and edequate supply of coal as needed. "If each coal consumer will adopt the policy of annually purchasing coal on a uniform monthly delivery basis, there will result automatically sufficient seasonal storage to guar antee coal to the consumer as need ed. Furthermore, this policy will bring about uniform demand for coal whereby the coal producer and carrier may establish uniform and standard production and Ehipment schedules. "It wiH aIs remove the evils of ' intermittent operation of coal mines, j frequent panicky market conditions. land coal shortage due to inability of the carriers to meet peak demands. "While this study refers primarily to industrial consumers of bitumin ous coal, 3-et householders also have a direct responsibility. Indeed the householders are In position to aid with the least cost, because no spe- ;the coal be delivered monthly in! equal allotments. It urges that con-j sumers provide necessary storage facilities to meet the terms of such" Contracts.
