"Oh, pshaw; oh, pshrw," said Mr.
Rockefeller and then he laughed.
"Why, there's nothing to the story at

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) ,
Washington, D. C, Dec. 1 -Twenty-five
million dollars will be the
amount of revenue collected for the
fiscal year of 1910 under the now cor
poration tax, which was incorporated
in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, no
cording to an estimate contained hi
the annual report of the commlsw
sioner of internal revenue, for year
ending June 30, 1909, which waa
made public today. To collect thin
tax an appropriation of $100,00018
asked for.
Following the passage of the tariff
bill last August, the work of collect-
ing this special tax was imposed uttOn
the bureau of internal revenue;" and
preparations are now being made for
the distribution of blanks to the. var
ious corporations throughout tft -outryupot?Sf'eh-
XV make their
returns to the district collectors" da '
or before March 1, 1910. i
According to the. report, It is esti
mated that there will have beett col
lected by July 1, 1910, $15,000,000,
000 and that an additional sum of
$10,000,000, collectible for the caK
endar year from January 1, 1908, to
December 31, 1909, will be collected
subsequent to July 1, 1910. .
! The receipts for the past fiscal
I year from all sources were $246,212,
719.22, a decrease of $5,453,230.83
! for the year ended June 80, 19flS.
The bureau is rery hopeful, however,
. of showing a substantial increase for
j the current year, as the receipts for
I the first quarter show an increase Of
$2,955,657.45 over the same period
or tne preceding year. It is estimat
ed that the amount of revenue. In
cluding that derlred from the cor
poration tax, will total $280,000,000.
While the total receipts Were less
than last year, the cost Of collecting
this revenue was only 2.02 percent Of
the amount collected, or a little over
$5,000,000. The average cost sln$e
the creation of the bureau Is 2.69 pir"
cent. For the coming year an ap
propriation of $5,302,240 is asked
for to meet the expenses.
Several interesting facts are set
forth relative to the sources of rev
enue for the year.
As usual, liquor and tobacco yield
ed the largest revenues, distilled
spirits amounting to $128,316,
181.45; fermented liquors to $66j
303,496.68 and tobacco $51,887.
178.04. That the panic, combined with th
growing sentiment for local option,
has proven a hard blow for tie Kquor
interests shown in the comparative
table of the amount of dlstirteTj spir
its withdrawn for consumption dur
ing the past ten years'. The high wft
ter mark was reached lit the tftear

1908, only 119,t03,694.4 were with
