NO EVADING INCOME TAX.
The Law in Force Even Without Col
lection Provisions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Cor
don of Georgia, in conversation with
senators, called attention to certain
provisions of the income tax which
compels taxpayers to make returns
and pay their taxes upon incomes
whether the pending appropriation
passes or not. "The defeat" he
said, "of the appropriation will
not defeat the collection of
the income tax from the people.
Under section 20 of the law all per-
sons and corporations with incomes
above $4,000 are required to make re-
turns according to the form prescribed
by the revenue department and the
secretary of the treasury. This is the
plain duty of citizens and the mere
failure of congress to appropriate
money for the more effective collec-
ton of the income tax cannot, of
course, defeat the operation of the
law, nor the attaching of heavy
penalty provided for on failure to
make such returns. The only posi-
bic way for the opponents of the in
come tax to save the people from
paying this tax is to repeal the
law itself The mere withholding
of the appropriation asked will
have no effect whatever, except, per-
haps, to deceive the uniformed and
beguile them into feeling of securi-
ty and to neglect compliance with
the plain requirements of the law
itself. Those who hope to escape the
payment of the income tax through
the failure of congress to make the
appropriation asked for, and who
are thus led to neglect making
their returns at the time fixed
by law, will find themselves in
volved in fifty per cent heavier
taxes and will be compelled to
pay them. Failure by congress to
appropriate money to collect the in
come tax will not prevent such col
lection and it is wrong to the people
to mislead them in this matter"
