tell off almost $1,400,000,000 or 10
per cent as compared with the
previous year, according to the an
nual report of the internal reve
nue bureau Issued tonight by Cora
mlssloner Blair. Income and pro
fits taxes, collected during the
year showed a decrease of 11,141,'

Total . tax collection for the
year . aggregated 13, 17, 451,083

Miscellaneous collections arising
from taxation other than that on
Incomes and profits amounted to
11,110,682,618 for 1923, a decrease
of $366,686,770. or 19 per cent.
This slump. Mr. Blair declared
was accounted for moetly by the
reDeal or redaction in rates - of
various taxes provided for in the
revenue act of 1921 effectirs Jan

The net expenditures for -col

compared with 72o for each $100
the previous year.
"The difference in tne relative
cost of collection for the fiscal
years 1921 and 1933," Mr. Blair
said, "Is due mainly to th large
reduction in the revenues of 1922
incident to the shrinkage In bus

and various provision of th law
