A—16 *» “OVERLAP" TAXES RAISE 3 BILLIONS J. S. Gets Two-Thirds of Duplicated Revenue, Survey Shows. B7 the Assoclated Press. A Treasury study of overlapping taxation revealed today that while the Pederal Government was raising more than $2,000,000,000 from six sources of revenue last year, the States were obtaining more than $1,000,000,000 from the same sources. The Treasury report embraced a study of eight tax levies, six of which are duplicated by Federal imposts. Both State and Federal revenue from the six taxes—those on estates, indi» vidual incomes, corporate incomes, gasoline, liquor and tobacco—totaled $3,321,300,000 in 1935. Of this aggregate, 1t was shown in the report and by other Treasury sta- tistics, $2,271,400,000 or about two- thirds, went to the Federal Govern- ment, and $1,049,900,000 to the States. Revenue to the States from the en- tire eight taxes, including those on general sales and motor registrations, was set at $1,654,800,000 last year, eompared with $1,262,800,000 in 1930. In both years gasoline taxes ac- counted for a major portion of the revenue with receipts from this source reported at $589,200,000 last year and $470,000,000 in 1930. General sales taxes, which were in effect in only two States and pro- vided $1,200,000 in 1930, pumped $284,400,000 into the treasuries of 25 States last year. Liquor levies were exacted in only three States in 1930 and returned $200,000. Last year 47 States had tapped this revenue source for a total ©of $166,600,000. ‘With income from new sources in- ereasing, State receipts from estate eand inheritance taxes fell off from $183,400,000 in 1930 to $100,800,000 last year, or 45 per cent. Individual income tax receipts dropped from $135,100,000 in 1930 to $100,000,000 in 1935, although the number of States imposing these levies ncreased from 15 to 28. Corporation income revenue de- elined from $104,900,000 to $56,900,000, while the number of States levying such taxes jumped from 16 to 28. All States exacted motor registra- sion taxes in both 1930 and 1935, and revenues declined from $355,700,000 % $320,500,000 over the five-year period. The report did not show how ehanges in the tax rates or income de- elines may have caused the decreases.

SUB-MINIMUM PAY CTEDBY A.F.L. Survey Contends Health of 575,000 Families in Four Industries Menaced. BY the Assoclated Press. The American Federation of Labor asserted in its monthly survey of busi- ness yesterday that 575,000 workers in four large industries had been re- ceiving less than the minimum wage necessary to support their families in health. The federation presented statistics on the wages of employes in the cig- arette, paper box, automobile and steel industries which showed that the number receiving what it termed “to- day'’s minimum health wage” of 73 cents an hour comprised 63 per cent of all workers in those industries. The federation said it selected these four industries because they were the only ones with adequate records avail- able, but added that the same condi- tions existed in other industries. The survey, saying that dividend payments reached the “highest level | in history” in the current month, | added: | “Wage increases reported in the newspapers in November are a step in | the right direction. It is too early yet | to tell whether they are widespread enough to have much effect on buy- | Certainly those cited have been far less in total amount than | | the dividends declared in November. “To create ‘capacity production’ liv- ing level at today’s prices would re- quire an income of $3,623 for every family in the United States. * * * Some skilled workers have already reached this level. For the vast ma- Jjority we must count on steady upward progress, striving first to lift the mini- mum health level.” THE EVENING STAR, BRIDGE PLAYERS VIE FOR 3 THLES 750 Expected to Compete in Tournament Starting in Chicago. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 30.— Top- flight bridge players of the United States sought five national champion- ships in the American Bridge League tournament opening today. Before the daily afternoon and eve- ning play ends next Sunday, said William E. McKenney, league secre- tary, the players will have “pretty ‘well used up” three gross, or 432 decks of washable cards. He expected 750 players, about 50 more than last year. Mr. and Mrs. Oswald Jacoby, New ‘York, were among the leading Eastern contenders. Chicago and the Midwest looked to M. 8. (Red) Rellly, to snatch tourna- ment honors from the East. Reilly’s play dazzled the American Bridge League Summer tournament entrants at Asbury Park, N. J. Secretary McKenney said the ex- pert players cling to their supersti- tions; some will wear the same suit or necktie or gown throughout the tournament if they are fortunate m the opening play. Last year's champion women's teflm of four was intact to defend the title. The team includes Miss Helen White, Los Angeles; Mrs. L. G. Quigley, | Chicago; Mrs. Robert B. Fuller, New York, and Miss Florence Sznt{ord, Cleveland. The champion match point team of | four from Indianapolis also will defend its title. It includes Lary Welch, Joseph Cain, J. E. Wood and F. R. Buck. ‘The amateur champion team—Dr. Louis Mark, Columbus, Ohio, and Lewis Bernard, Cincinnati—may not play to- gether this week. ‘The fifth title to be decided—Con- | sidered by many the choicest of all— | is that of champion open pair, won last year by Jacoby and Edward Hymes, jr., of New York. All championships will be determined by comparison of scores made by con- testants playing identical hands at duplicate boards. SHRINE IS BLESSED Archbishop Curley Participates in St. Matthew’s Ceremony. Archbishop Curley of Baltimore held the position of honor in a pro- cession from St. Matthew's Church to the rectory yesterday afternoon, fol- lowing the blessing of the Shrine of Our Lady.
