To facllilale the wmk Mr Ledeiei
has placed big tables In the conldois
and at these the ttouhled iltlrens fill
out their Income tax letuins 'I his
morning a voung woman occupied u
chair at the head of a table and for ten
minutes busied hei self with one of the

monev.
Her emplovei had delegated her to
Journey to the postolllce bul'dlng and
pay hla Income and excess-pioflt tax
The filling In of the blanks was mere
routine she had a certified check, and,
taking a place In the long line that
moved slowly toward the pijlng tellers
clutched the check In hei left hand and
the blank In her light.
Many Women Mut I'av Tax
Scores of single women whose incomes
exceed $1000 appealed In loda) s
throng.
There were few gioucnes In the g-ilh-erlng,

Inside the offices the counteis weic
divided Into sections and at each one
was h sign Indicating the chaiaitet of
'business transacted At one section the
clerks received floor taxes on distilled
liquors : at another excess prntlt taxes
were received: nt a third the clerks
wrestled with Income taxes paid bv or
dinary, unmatried mortals who reecho
salaries above $1000 a ear,
' It Is Impossible to estimate the Amount
at money being collected at these arl
