His tax bill, established by reports of tax collections from January I to June 1 In 39 states, was 4 35 cents a day or $0.45 for the five months. If he owned an automobile, Mr. Citlwm paid out even more. Besides the pur chase of a license. If he operated a. car he spent $10.03 up to June 1 In gasoline taxes to the state, an aver age of 7-5 cents a day. It la likely, however, that Mr. Citi zen didn't even notice he was spend ing that much money, for he paid the taxes In many waya, frequently handing It to the sta only a few cents at & time. He paid It prin cipally on his real and personal prop erty, his Income, gasoline for his car, on alcoholic beverages and beer, and as a sales tax. ' The rate paid during the first five months was determined by averaging the daily per capita state tax col lections of 39 states. The Individual state per capita to tals were fixed on a basis of total collections for the first five months and the 10 30 population of the states. For the nation, on the basis of 4 27 cents daily per capita and the 1030 census, the direct tax collections of all 48 states amounted to 791. 616.504 from January 1 to June 1. The dally total, on the same basis, was S3. 2 4 2, 404. For all 48 states, on the basis of 7.5 cents daily, car owners paid In 208.B40.895 during the first five months 38 per cent of the total state collections for all taxes.

DEPRESSION OVER ISVIEWATWORLD C. OF I1C0NCLAVE (Continued from Page One.) we must begin somewhere and the breaking down of currency walla brings necessary relief to world trade." A. Ftlene, Boston merchant, told the congress that the world must adopt a system of distribution cap able of supplying an outlet for mass production. The Bostonlan's plea for world adoption of a voluntary chain system of Independent stores for distribu tion and purchase created a stir at the congress and brought approval from many leading European mer chants. Filene cited as an example the United States where he said "unsound radicalism until recently failed to get a hearing and the recent success of radicals la basically due to a bad distribution." He said that unless production found an adequate distribution, the standards of living would drop, and "the msses would not only listen to agitators, but would tend to become agitators themselves."
