The Irish Free State which until row has been without a radio "voice," has finally made up its mind to build two or more state owned broadcasting stations. A report received by the Department of Commerce to day says the Minister of Finance of the Free State has approved the plans for the state owned plants.

The plan Is in line with the system that has been put in effect by the British government in England. The first two stations probably will be located In Dublin and they may be in opera A worfderful fall value bent styles tan, patent and brown. Julia makes.

Control of the stations will be lodged in the government and a license fee will be required of listeners throughout the state. Other foreign activities in the realm of radio broadcasting reported to the department to day include the opening of a new station at Nagoya, Japan, and preparations for the next opening on Monday of the new naval station at the Bay of Rio de Janeiro. The Rio plant is equipped with Tele funken apparatus, having a normal estimated range of 4,500 miles. An effort will be made to communicate with Naval radio stations in the United States. A population of 22,000,000 persons live within the crystal range of the new twenty five kilowatt British broadcasting station at Daventry, according to an estimate received here.

With this plant now complete, the British government is preparing to erect a super receiving station in kent, where American programs will be picked up for rebroadcasting from Daventry. This has been arranged through co operation with the Radlo Corporation of America.

CLARK Clothing LITTLE LEARNED BY TAX PUBLICATION Different Manner of Accounting Hides the Real Value of Payments By J. ROYLE Special Correspondent of the Harrisburg Telegraph New York, Sept. 3. Opening of the income tax books and publication of the amounts paid by Indi viduals and corporations has yielded no Information of commercial or business Importance.

That was the concensus of opinion to day of men in widely separated walks of business endeavor. On the contrary, these men asserted, the figures have provided a tremendous amount of misinformation, and are not reliable as indicating either the trend of business in 1924 or the probable developments in the remainder of this year and 1926. Even men who say frankly they would be glad to have certain reliable information regarding trade rivals admit they have been disappointed. They point out that mere knowledge of the sums paid as taxes, without knowledge of how they were arrived at, Is of minor importance. The figuring out of an income tax return with every piece of data available Is a complicated job.

To start from the result and work baqk to the data is almost an 'impossible one. Investments In tax exempt securities have complicated calculations immeasurably. Some corporations are known to have been iusposses sion, on December 31, 1924, of tax exempt Government securities to the amount of several times their current liabilities. Profit and loss surplus accounts are crowded to the limit with bond issues on which no tax is paid. Taxes have been liquidated by some corporations in the form of payments by subsidiary companies under a separate return.

Business men point out that, so far as corporations are concerned, it is possible to gain much more detailed and authentic information from the formal annual, semi annual or quarterly reports of the company itself than from the tax figures, and to do so earlier than the latter are available. Returns Are Confusing As to the uncertainty of basing definite conclusions on the returns becomes at once apparent from the lists themselves. William Wrigley, chewing gum and baseball magnate, for example, paid a tax of $2,644, as against $836,565 the previous year, although no catastrophe sufficient to cause such a difference is known to have occurred in hU business activities. Few believe the $345 paid by Charlie Chaplin Indicates the real income of the movie star. Returns made by Will Rogers, Rodolph Valentino and other stage and screen celebrities are equally confusing.

On the other hand, one manufacturer, whose company in 1924 is known to have had one of Its worst seasons, made a return ot nearly $300,000. Business men In numerous lines here were asked, to day why they objected so vigorously to the publication of the Income tax figures If their rivals could obtain so little valuable Information from them. The attitude of the majority wis voiced by a corporation lawyer, who declared he objected to this publicity for the same reason people curtains to their windows. "It may do a family no physical or financial harm for them to have passers by staring at' them through the windows," he said. "They may be engaged In perfectly innocent activities.

They may have nothing to hide, but the normal self respecting family Is thoroughly uncomfortable under such scrutiny. They are entitled to a certain amount of privacy and protection against idle curiosity. The corporation or the individual in most Instances feels entitled to Just as much protection against idle curiosity In financial affairs." The advocates of the publication of the figures, on the other hand, declare that the publicity given the returns made has acted as a check and safeguard on fraud and has provided Information to which the public is entitled.
