ORGANIZATION or THE DEPARTMENT.
After giving statement OF the organization OF the
Office Of Internal Revenue, the Commissioner says
The force OF agents is entirely inadequate to
perform the duties contemplated by law, and there
fore he earnestly recommends that Congress be re-
quested to authorize by law the employment and pay
ment Of fifteen agents in addition TO the present num-
ber. With such force he is confident that the coun
try be thoroughly poted TO prevent the per-
petration of fraud and greatly increase the revenue
The balance Of the report is devoted to the recon-
mendations Of the Commissioner for such changes In
the internal revenue laws experience has demon
strated will tend to the more full and complete coec
tion OF the revenue especially such arise from dis
