TAX OF CORPORATION INCOMES
Commissioner Issues Notice to Avoid
Anv Misunderstanding.

Washington, Feb. S.-Corporations
ana other business organizations liable

comes arc required by law to make
their returns to internal revenue Of
fcers for the calendar year 1909 on or
before March next under penalty of
fine Of from 1000 to 10000.
Apparently from inquiries which
have come to hand great deal of mis-
apprehension exists i'm the public mini
on this point. the opinion being that
these returns may be made within any
reasonable time before the tax must
be paid.
In order TO avoid misunderstanding.
collectors OF internal revenue have
been directed by Commissioner Cabeil
To sec that notice of the provisions of
the law on the subject arc given
through the public press to all organ
izations interested, but without further
expense to the government.
Corporations must see To 1t that
they obtain the blank form for making
the required returns. A failure to re-
cclyc them and to furnish the infor-
nation within the prescribed time will
not give relief from the penalties I'M
posed for failure To give ii. Thc
forms will be furnished on application
by collectors of internal revenue.
In order that there may bc no dis
putc as to the time when the returns
come i'm, collectors have been instruct
ed that when they arc received atter
