INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS
SHOW DROP IN TEXAS
Washington.— Income tax col-
lections for the first nine months
of the year compared with the
same period in 1929 show a loss of
$148,286,721, the Treasury an-
nounced Monday. The total col-
lections in the 1930 period was
$1,779,382,127. Of the 1930 loss
reduced individual income taxes
was responsible for $132,972,403,
and the corporation tax for $15,-
314,318. The loss in individual
tax includes the 1 per cent reduc-
tion voted at the last session of
Congress and applying in 1930.
The total Texas collections for
the first nine months of 1930
amounting to $28,032,865, was a
loss of $1,398,424, compared with
the same period in 1929. Collec-
tions in the First Texas District
were $16,191,240, a loss of $194,-
570; while for the second district
collections were $11,841,625, a
loss of $1,203,854.
The corporation tax paid in
the first district amounted to $9,-
917,101, which was an increase of
$658,645, compared with the 1929
period, hut the individual collec-
tions of $6,274,138 was a loss of
$853,216.
Collections of corporation tax
of $6,291,242 in the second dis-
trict was a loss of $446,659, com-
pared with 1929, while the 5,550,-
383 of individual tax was a loss
of $757,194.
BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE
MIRRORED IN STATE REPORT
Austin, Texas.—Although the
seasonal increase in commercial
failures from September to Octo-
ber is 27 per cent this year the
number increased by only one, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Business
Research at the University of
Texas. Total liabilities decreased
as compared to the previous
month.
Comparison with September is
not an entirely accurate index,
however, since defaults during
that month though normally the
smallest of the year were much
greater this year in both number
and total indebtedness than in
the preceding thirty days- Total
liabilities of defaulting companies
during October showed approxi-
mately a normal increase over
August, but the number was 47
per cent greater. August failures
were unusually small in number
with high average liabilities.
Commercial failures through
1930 have frequently been out of
line with normal seasonal devel-
opments. As compared to 1929,
October defaults were somewhat
greater in number and 50 per
cent greater in total indebted-
ness. The ratio of listed assets to
liabilities was higher in 1930,
however. One bank failure brings
the total for this year up to
eight, compared to only two dur-
ing the same period of 1929.
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS NOW
President Hoover has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the
Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale :
“The Christmas Seals of the Na-
tional Tuberculosis Association
which are sold at Christmas time
every year provide funds for one
of the most valuable of all ser-
vices to mankind in helping to
prevent and destroy a disease
which threatens millions of homes

SCHOLASTICS SHOW
A GAIN OF 2273
Austin. —McLennan county
gained 2273 in scholastic popu-
lation, in the census just made
for 1930-1931, over that for the
preceding year, according to final
figures completed by the state
department of education. Total
is now 24,744.
Based on the apportionment of
$17.50, this means schools in the
county will get $39,777.50 more
for the school year ending next
spring, than for the past.
Part of the increase was ac-
and weakens millions of the counted for by lowering of the
children and youth of the nation.
I commend this yearly campaingn
to all our people.”
The Texas Tuberculosis Seals
throughout Texas and they are
the only means of financing the
fight against the great white
plague. Although the deaths
from tuberculosis have been more
than cut in half during the past
25 years and between the ages of
15 and 40, tuberculosis is still
the leading cause of death. The
work of the Texas Associations
will be concentrated on this age
group and the children.
Tuberculosis does not recognize
any economic conditions and at
times such as we are now having
it is imperative that the sale
should increase in order that the
Texas Tuberculosis Association
and its local associations may
take care of the increased nmber
of calls they are recieving.
Now is a good time to plant
trees. Write for catalogue. Ram-

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS
This vitally important item is
everybody’s problem— There are
certain obligations going with
your job. One of these is your ob-
ligation to your company; anoth-
er is your obligation—and )yes,
more, your responsibility to your
fellow worker. Perhaps you are
not your brother’s keeper away
from working hours, but you are
surely charged many many times
with his well being while work-
ing with him.
Accidents can be prevented
and will be when we carry within
ourselves the thought that we
will keep our minds on the mat-
ter of doing; our work safely. Too
many of us use the old shopworn
phrase “Accidents will happen.”
Let’s substitute something mod-
ern in the phrase “Accidents are
preventable.”
This responsibility can not be
a passive one—it must be an ac-
tive one—and if we only give our-
selves half a chance along these
lines we will accomplish some-
thing worth while. Do we give as
much personal thought to safety
procedure prior to an accident
as we do after it occurs? Think-
ing after an accident will not
prevent that accident from hap-
pening. The responsibility is ours
to THINK at the proper time.—
