N A report published by the Treas
ury department it is disclosed that
the internal revenue receipts for the
fiseal year June 30 last, were a little
more than $3.000000000, This was
Just about $100,000,000 more than the
receipts of the previous year,
Most of the Increase was registered
in income taxes, which showed a gain
of $78,000,000 over the 1920 fiscal year,
notwithstanding the fact that the 1
per cent tax reduction voted by con-
gress last December affected the quar
terly payments of taxes paid In March
and June of the present calendar year,
This increase was attributed largely to
the exceptional prosperity enjoyed by
corporations and Individuals in the
calendar year 1020, against which the
taxes collected in these two quarters
were assessed,
There was diversity of opinion nas
to whether or not it would be advis-
able or possible to continue the 1 per
cent reduction for another year,
President Hoover wishes this to be
done If it can, and the Republican
leaders in congress are ready to sup-
port legislation to that effect if the
President recommends it, No definite
statement as to whether business con-
ditions will make this continuance
possible has been lssued from the
Treasury department, but Secretary
Mellon and some of the officials under
him are sald to be very doubtful as
to its wisdom, fearing that a deficit
would be created due to reduced cue.
