Directors and stockholders of the bank made good the shortage. “I am no more guilty than others INCOME TAXES BEING DODGED ON ALL SIDES (Continuea From Page 1) of course, all the women and children in the country), paid nothing. Tax dodging, to be sure, is not lim- ited to any one class in the communi- ty. It exists both among the rich and the voor. So far as can be seen from ~ careful study of the figures compiled by Mr. Rogers,. there is not much to choose between the two classes. If the wealthy classes hold back from the & cAddress “Mr. Anonymous, Somewhere-in America” - his income, or not. Taxpayers vs. Auto Owners Take for example, the proportion of income taxpayers to automobile owners in various parts of the country. It is certainly a reasonable hypothes- | is to suppose that any person who' can afford to maintain, an automo-} bile is probably in receipt of an in- come of $1,000 a year or more. Yet in 1919 when onlp, 5,300,000,—' ,000 persons filed personal- income tax returns} 9,211,295 automobiles were owned in the United Sates. Inl other words elimating the few instances where, one individual owns more than one automobile, nearly L AND NOL WRITE AND TELL THE GUNY 80! & income tax return and 3,287,948 au- tomobiles. The disproportion was worst of all in nine western states, which had 420,409 tax returns and 1,- 183,205 automobiles, Only in a few states such as Ney York, New Jersey and Maryland did the number of in- come tax retuns exceed the number of automobiles. These figures to be sure are not conclusive. It might be argued that many a iarmer with an extremely small income in cash maintains an au- tomobile because he finds it necessary for business reasons. It is quite true that some other explanation may be found for this one aspect of the mat- The Store That Has Brought the Follow the to Crowds to JOHNSON’S CROWDS CROWDS CROWDS Every Day in the Week.

After a care- ful search in Webester's masterpiece we found the word in Webester’s ap- pendix. Operations for appendicitis were apparently not in style in Web- ster’s day, for there was “Conifer- ales” as big as you please rignt in W ebster’s appendix. From here our search was di- rected to ‘“‘Pinales,” a synonym of “Coniferales”. Believing that these two words have practically the same meaning, we are led to believe that we have at last found the meaning of this word “Coniferales.” “Pinales’” is described as an order of gymnospermous trees and shrubs comprising the Pinaceae and Taxa- ceae. It is practically synonymous with the Conifereae of the older au- thors. Now you know just as much about it as we do. —That Aint Much— “All the world is sad and drcary” Dear Twentieth Century: The cutworms and crows RARKETSY Potato Market Chicago, April 19.—Potato mar- ket, dull; receipts, 47 cars; on track, 164 cars; total U.
