Collector Hammond Reports Inorease
in Corporation Tax Collections.
LAW WAS NOT UNDERSTOOD
Consequently the Ileport. Klr.t Sent
In Were Not According to neu
ulatlon and llnd to De
Readjusted.
Business of the corporations of the state
of Nebraska has been plcklntr up accord
Ing to the corporation reports made to
Ross Hammond, collector of Internal
revenue for the district of Nebraska.
The reports Just made of profits of the
various corporations show that during
the year 1912 there were seventy more
corporations In the state that made over
5.000 than there were the preceding year.
This means some J15.000 more to the
revenue department In corporation taxes
as only those who make over J3.000 are
compelled to pay the corporation tax of
1 er cent of the profit In excess of the
t5.O00.
The Increase Is due to several causes.
There are more corporations doing bus),
ness than there were a year ago. There
are more of them making substantial
profits. Another reason that may be as
signed is the fact that during the three
years in which the corporation tax law
has been In effect there was a mistake
made In the reports sent In by banks and
financial Institutions which showed their
profits to be less than they really were.
Recently the department at Washing
ton has called the attention of the revenue
collectors to the discrepancy and has
asked that new reports be demanded
from all the banks for each of the three
'ast years. The mistakes occurring In that
vvkjt have been Including In the ex-
rrse Items the items of taxes stock'
ic lOers pay on tnelr stock. By this rals.
a s of the oxpense of the hanks on the
- port, the profits were correspondingly
ovred. The commissioner of Internal
.-evenue hat; t'ee'ded tfat the taxes stock
huldcrt. pay on the amount of their stock
air not properly an Item of expense of
int uiiiin. i lie iuii mui uaims arc una
tar making their reports with this item
of expense eliminated tends to bring the
profits of some of them over the $5,000
mark.

CHIEF OF POLICE RETURNS
Henry Dunn Boosts the Everglade
District of Florida.
HAS CONFIDENCE IN SCHEME
Tells of the Efforts Ilrlnir Made to
Cnre for thr Heavy Ilalnfall
Which Annnallr Visits
Florldn.
Chief of Police Henry W. Dunn has re.
turned from Florida, where he spent a
vacation enjoying sunbaths and wadlnj
In the ocean. He also Inspects several
land schemes In which ho was Interested.
Tho everglades, he said, were dry as a
floor, and so he sought to persuade City
Electrician Waldemar Mlchaelsan from
purchasing a houseboat so he could live
on the twenty acres he has purchased In
the everglades.
"I paid about tHO for twenty acres in
the everglades," said Michaelsen. "I ses
a harvester company president purchased
sixty acres there for $160,000 and Is in)
proving It. I Intended to build a wlnte;
home there. Now I've been trying to a
my land by the gallon."
Chief Dunn said that was all foolish
ness, as the everglades would ultimately
be drained and the land would be as val
uable as any In the country and the rich
est in the world In point of fertility.
Real estate men are booming the whoi?
of Florida, tald the chief, who spent
most of his time In Miami. Several years
ago one man purchased a sand Island off
Miami, platted It, and although he only
paid SO cents an acre for it, ne Js now
selling it at from W0 to S5.200 a lot.
As to the drainage work In the ever
glades the chief feels certain the state
will successfully accomplish the task of
ditching It so that the annual rainfall of
fifty seven Inches will be carried off In
time for the gardeners top lant and
harvest their crops.
In the fruit produce business.
Ho Is survived by IiIh wife, a daughter
and two boiib. The funeral and burial
was at Los Angeleo yesterduy afternoon.
