Taxes on personal income for 1924
have yielded the government a great
er revenue by $25.4S2,6S0 than did
similar taxes for 1923. This result
was. revealed in figures prepared by
the Internal Revenue Bureau and
published in the Sunday papers.
It is an astounding result. If it is
gratifying in that it exceeds all ex
pectations and forecasts it is also be
wildering. It has scrambled the es
timates and calculations of the Treas
ury Department. It leaves Mr. Mel
lon's expert accountants flat on their
backs, and the astute secretary him
self out on a limb.
For no such bumper yield was in
the books. When the present revenue
act was being prepared, which re
duced the rates on small incomes, in
defiance of the "Mellon plan," dole
ful consequences were predicted.
Prosperity's pinions were going to
droop and industry slow down unless
the taxes on wealth were lightened.
But congress, with the radical ele
ment known as the La Follette bloc
holding the balance of power, pro
ceeded to write a revenue law of its
own, and, instead of disaster, a har
vest of abundance has followed.
This is the outstanding fact of
the Internal Revenue Bureau's sta
tistical analysis of taxation condi
tions under the present law as com
pared with the preceding law. The
comparison discloses a number of in
teresting developments. It shows
there were three incomes of $5,000,
000 or more last year as in 1923,
and that in the million-dollar class
the number 74 was the same in
both years. It shows a substantial
increase in the number of incomes be
low a million and above $50,000. It
places the people's aggregate net in
come at 25 billions. The average in
come is fired at $3,428.55. It paints
a land of such plenty as was never
before known. But the staggering
fact is that increase in revenue not
withstanding the decrease of nearly
400.000 in the number of returns.
In the light of that fact it is clear
that the Treasury Department's pres
tige as a counsellor of revenue legis
lation is shattered. The revelation
coming at this rime, as the draft of
a new revenue measure is nearing
completion, has stirred Washington.
The new revenue measure, it is re
ported, will provide for a searching
investigation of the entire system of
administering federal taxes by a
committee to be appointed by the
president, which will file its report

TWO FAMILIES
"There are," said Cervantes, "but
two families in the world. Have
much and Have-little." Have-little
has a collateral branch, a kind of
sub-family, and its name is Have
naught. The two are so nearly akin
that it is sometimes very difficult to
distinguish between them. Indeed,
one may, at one time or another, find
himself enrolled in any of these
families.
The Community Welfare Associa
tion calls upon the family of Have
much to give in accordance with its
means. It also makes an appeal to
the family of Have-little, for even
this family has the privilege of aid
ing those who are less fortunate.
The Community Welfare Associa
tion gives aid in a practical way to
the families which, usually through
no fault of their own, have fallen in
to destitution. This is not a work of
promiscuous and aimless charity.
There are, of course, some families
that sickness or death have rendered
almost helplessly dependent. But in
the vast majority assistance, aidj
given to tide over a bad time. Im
mediate suffering is relieved, but at:
the same time encouragement and
practical help are given to preserve
self-respect and to inspire re-establishment
on a self-supporting basis.
On the lines of Cervantes apprais
al the human race probably cannot
ever be lumped as one family. There
will always be the family of Have
little. But there should never be a
family of Have-naught. The last
represents not only distress but also
danger to the community. The Com
munity Welfare Association does(
what is needful to bring comfort to
the comfortless and to save the com
munity from the peril of desperation.
