CAN'T COLLECT TAX
A Report That Income Tax is
Made Ineffective.
Congress Fails to Provide Means
for Its Collection.
THEY CAN DO NOTHING.
Internal Revenue Collectors
Helpless Till Congress Acts.
Congress is Without a Quorum
and Can't Act This Session.
Chairman Sayers Declares the
Report is False.
THEY CAN DO NOTHING.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga special from
Washington says: In addition TO the long
list of errors found in the German tariff
bill, the surprising discovery has been
made by the treasury department officials
that appropriation has been made for
putting into effect the income provisions.
The collectors of internal revenue can do
nothing under these circumstances in
the direction of preparing to collect the
tax
The treasury officials claim to be
blameless; for they forwarded to the ap-
proprlatiOn committee more than
month ago an estimate for an initial ap-
preparation of $5OO,00O to be used dur
ing the current fiscal year in carrying
out the income tax provisions of the
tariff bill. if it should become a law. The
secretary through the commissioner
of internal revenue estimates that
the appointment of 25O deputy
tional clerks in the Washington Office
would be necessary to begin the prellmi-
nary work.
Whether by accident or design, neither
the house nor the senate appropriations
committee paid any attention to Secre-
tary CarIisle's estimate, and the internal
revenue collectors are therefore helpless
and must therefore defer all arrange
ments until congress provides the neces-
sary money.
This viii not be done at the present
session owing to the lack OF a quorum
in either house, no business can be Trans
acted except by unanimous consent,
which of course cannot be obtained for
the purpose OF saving the unpopular in
come tax law from disaster.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Miller adm IS that congress strangely
failed to provide the necessary money
but Is hopeful that when the two houses
reaSsem BILE in December the amount Of
has estimate will be included in an
urgent defc.e .ency appropriation bill, SO
that the administration OF the new law
will be made possible.
