SHARP TALK TO THE AGENTS
COMMISSIONER CAPERS URGES
EMPLOYMENT OF JUDGMENT.
Condemns Misguided Activity of Some
of the Employees Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers
has written a circular letter to all internal
revenue collectors and agents in which,
while Cautioning them not to let up in a
vigorous search for violations of the law,
he crticises the misguided activity Of
internal revenue employees nthe field. He
says their disposition to make "a record"
subjects the bureau to endless annoyance
and expense. makes a perfect fiasco in
the courts of their undue and hasty action
in Selling distilleries, making unfounded
assessments, and practically confiscating
property of law-abiding citizens who are
endeavoring to live under the law in a
busness-the whisky business in any of its
forms-always open to suspicion The
letter adds: II have on my desk the record
of q case where three revenue agents or
their employees hung around a registered
distillery, hoping TO find some sin or
omission on the part of the bookkeeper, for
three weeks while during that time there
were five blockade Tor unlawfuD distilleries
In fun operation within seven miles of the
registered distiilery. BY the operation of
these unlawful distilleries the government
was losing probably $500 day tax on
the whisky they were producing, while
these revenue agents were sitting about for
big Same'-the registered distilery.
There are two distinct classes of Of
fendeTs-that is. sins OF commission and
sins Of omission. l am astounded to find
commentators for the Selling of dis
ul.erieS. the upsetting of business enter
prises involving investment of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, because some
Clerk has failed to properly keep some
blank form prescribed by the regula-
tons
Revenue agents and collectors should
proceed upon the proposition guaranteed us
by the Constitution, that all men are in
nocent until proven guilty. and when they
find minor irregularities they should as
sumo the attitude of advisers and coun-
seilors, and. by virtue of their experience
in the service, tel the people who know
less about it what is expected of them.
On the contrary, in too may instances they
hastily use these sins of omission as a
embarrass this bureau and the entire serv-

Year. beginnt July 1, 1908. were placed

quests that the salary Of c. NJ. Lewis. dep
uty Gisbursing officer, be increased from

Mr.. Lewis. he explained is bonded in the
sum Of $4,000, and in the absence of the
disbursing officer acts in his stead and has
all the responsibilities of this important Of
fee. and that there is probably no other
officer in the federal government required
to furnish such q large bond for 80 small

employment Of an additional clerk. In
speaking upon this matter, Mr.. Rogers
said:

Of the fact that on October / OF this year
the financial offices of the District govern
ment must change their methods Of doing
business somewhat. to conform with the
rules and regulations of circular sent out
by the honorable controller of the Treasury,
This will cause a great deal more work for

fiscal year the services of another clerk are
needed"
Mr.. Rogers concluded his estimates by
