LAST DAY FOR INCOME TAX.
Returns Not Filed Today VIII Entail |
Heavy Fines ON De!inquents-

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Giea-
son announced last evening that today
would be the last one for the filing OF
income tax returns at his Office. and all
who come under the law and who fail
to make such returns will be punished
by heavy fine.
Under the law the collectors have no au-
thority TO extend the time in which re-
turns can be filed unless sickness or alb
seuce from the city Is offered as an ex-
euse. and even then the parties making
the application for the extension must
show that they are entitled 10 II, and
that they had no intention OF attempting
- defraud the government.
All persons who do not make returns
by this evening must pay the govern
ment fine of $l.0o and per cent. PEN
atty attaches 10 their income.
While Deputy Collector Gleason would
not say last evening how much the for
tunes OF the individuals and corporations
of this city foot up, IL is known that the
revenue which the government viii get
from the Seattle fortunes alone Will be In
the neighborhood OF $4,000 This Is, OF
coruse. only per cent. Of the fortunes
Mr. Gleason SAYS that the returns have
far surpassed his expectations More
than 2 800 have been made. 80 OF these be
ing filed with the internal revenua Office
last Saturday. Each night the returns
are forwarded 20 the head Office OF the
district at Portland Inere were very
few returns made prior 20 the time thar
the decision was handed down by the
United States supreme court, IN which IL
was held that cert ain portions OF the In
come tax was unconstitutional The part
OF tha law held 10 be unconstitutional VIII
not result IN any great cut IN the revenue
which the government will receive rom
Seattle and vicinity
The court holds that the tax cannot be
collected from rents, but Mr.. Gleason
figures that very little money would have
been derived anyhow from that source in
this city for the reason that most OF the
renting property IS mortgaged and the
incomes Of the owners are mostly deTot-
ed to the y,ayrnent of the interest. Then.
too -~nts have been rather low In the
city. as IN every other city on the coast,
during the past year
All income taxes must be paid by July
1 The returns viii be forwarded To
Washington City and there the levy Will
1,s assessed and forwarded to the internal
revenue Offices of the city for collection.
In the meantime, however, the collectors
and their deputies are expected 10 inyes-
4fyats and find out whether or not those
who have made returns have not faiStlied
them and also find out whether or not
there are any corporations or dtyiduals
who have failed TO make returns who
should have made them. This will be rath-
or difficult work bat under the law Il
must be done and the collectors and dep
mites are given the right TO take possess
sion Of any Of the books belonging 10
