The bureau's figures, made public in its annual analysis of personal in comes, disclosed that 7,698,321 per- i sons filed returns in the year covered }>y the statistics, while in the proceed ing year there were 6-787,481 returns. The 7,698.321 taxpayers in 1923 con tributed *703,962,165 in taxes to the government, which was approximately $157,000,000 less than the taxes paid in 1922, largely as a result of the 25 per cent refund voted by Congress. On the basis of the census bureau's population estimates for July 1, 1923, returns were filed in 1923 by 6.34 per cent of the nation s cjtizens, while in 1922 the proporation was 6.2 per cent. - Incomes in the class of "$1.000,000 and over" in 1923 numberef 74, the highest point since 1917, and the third highest in the history of American in come tax collection, the number in 1916 having been 206.

' Feel* Certain of Good Trade. New York. —With no marked change discernible in the surface aspects of business last week, the conviction grew in financial circles that the sum mer months will continue to bring steady, even progress in trade. As in rec#nt weeks, the general busi ness picture was shaded with con trasting movements, but price reces sions and declining operations in cer tain industries were offset by the stfift recovery oif others. Signs multiplied that the closer balance being struck between production and consumption , would do much to avoid the normal midsummer reaction and in the long ; run would have a wholesome effect on industrial activities. Trade reports of the last week un questionably have favored the oil in ' dustry more than any of others. Re | cent announcements of record-break ing gasoline consumption and produc \ tion have been followed by a series of other favorable developments—increas jes in the prices of both crude and re | fined product, a reduction in the week | ly output of crude oil for the Qrst time in many weeks, and accumulating evl i dence that the leading producing and I refining companies were to the strong est financial and operating positions in several years. Petroleum shares were quick to eeflect the brightening outlook for their companies. Riot News Confirmed.

PRE WAR IHE TM DEMANDED UNDERWOOD URGEB SURTAX OF APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF RATE PROPOSED. Montgomery, Ala. —Prompt return to pre-war income tax rates with a blank et normal of two per cent and a maxi mum surtax of thirteen per cent was urged here by Senator Oscar W. Un derwood, of Alabama, In an address before the state meeting of Alabama Tax clubs. This surtax is approximately one half of that proposed in the Mellon plan and one-third of the maximum in the present law which was written by a coalition of democrats and republi can insurgents. ' . Senator Underwood also proposed a reduction of estate taxes from the present maximum of 40 per cent to the pre-war rate of 10 per cent. The Alabama senator, who had a prominent part in the writing of the first income tax law, said he believed the pre-war rates would furnish the needed revenue, but added that if they did not he would "give the president blanket authority to abolish govern ment bureaus, and there are many of them that are mere conveniences and not governmental necessities, until our expenditures did not exceed our revenue.'' "In other words," he declared, "I would slow down the government be fore It slows down the business of the nation." Condemning the present rates cumulated wealth as confiscatory. Sen ator Underwoad'asserted that the pow er to tax "is just- as potent a factor to nse in the destruction of private property as the red flag or the lighted torch." "The tax advocates of communistic tendencies may welcome the dissipa tion of the wealth of the nation," he said, "but when we accept his theories we will come to the dawn of a new era. The question before us is whether this nation is stronger, safer and more pro ductive with a great store of accumu lated wealth or without it. Feel Concern For Minion*. New York. —Grave concern over the immediate future of Christian missions in China and a bewildered pessimism about the more distant prospects, in view of recent outbreaks and the de velopment of an anti-foreign and anti- Christian movement in the tormer Selestial Kingdom, were expressed among representatives in New York of the mt>re than 5,000 American mis sionaries in the China field. The first word of withdrawal of mis sionaries from outlying posts of guarded cities was received today by the department of missions of the Episcopal church to whom Bishop A. A. Gilman, of Hankow, cabled: "Situation serious. Women and children missionaries have been order ed to this port." The Episcopal mission has about 50 families in the Hankow region, which includes the provinces of Hupeh and Hunan, around the middle Langtze. Representatives of other missions expressed opinion that their own workers around Hankow would be or dered to follow the Episcopal example. Bishop Gilman's cablegram did not say whether the consular authorities had ordered the withdrawal or if it was made by his own ( order. Death Claims W. 8. Stone.

II You Need i Medicine You Should Kan the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why H is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says: "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it* shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has eo large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the feet, so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer k Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and inclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
