Corporations Very Slow In
Filing Returns Under
New Law
Scranton, Pa., Feb. 14. 1e1O.

Scranton, Pa, Feb. IA, 1910.
Under the Act of Congress ap-
proved by the President August 5tb,
1909, all incorporated companies are
required to file return before March
LIST next. Collector G. T. Davis,
whose District comprises twenty
Counties In the Northeastern part of
Pennsylvania. reports that many
companies have as yet failed to file
the returns required by law.
Barely two weeks remain in which
TO file these returns, and penalties
will be imposed In all cases where
the return is not received on time.
30 particular is the Treasury De.
partment in this respect that Collec-
tor Davis has been notified that any
return received by hins on March Ist
having been mailed the day previous
must have the envelope showing the
post mark at the Office where the
Same was mailed attached to the re-
turn In order that the company may
avoid having penalties assessed. No
excuse whatever will be accepted for
failure to file the return on time, as
all companies on record have had
blanks and copy OF the Act mailed
II them, and il they refuse or neg
Iect to file the return. they will prob
ably ind their concerns in serious
diniculty.
Companies alleging ignorance of
the law, or that no blanks were re
ceived will be treated as delinquent
corporations, and penalties will in
all such cases be assessed and col
lected.
The officers Of all incorporated C, n
Germs must inform themselves as to
the law and comply with 1t.

The result Of the election In this
Borough and School District simply
indicates tnat the people have grown
in independence and intelligence and
are willing no longer to ratiiy the
acts OF the few who presume to pre-
scribe candidates and party methods
No healthier sign can be found In
any community than the courage Of
citizens to select men as officials who
will do their duty without fear or
or favor and for the best interests Of
the people. This is representative
government and the care and control
Of affairs is in the hands of men se-
lected to perform those duties. No
one wishes to become a private prose
cutor to enforce obedience to laws
which officials are chosen TO see are
obeyed. II is disregarding laws, and
connivance thereat by those in Official
capacity whose duty it is to see that
infractions are punished, which ar
rays citizens in self respecting com
munity against party which would
continue such men in ONCE. A rea-
sonable enforcement OF law estab
fishes confidence and security, and
while people may be slow to recog-
nize this and to shake of partisan
ship, yet the time comes when they
do, and an awakened public senti-
ment rises above party and makes
principles and men and enforcement
Of law its platform. That has beer
the result here and If the men in
trusted with power show themselves
equal to the opportunity and make
our borough law abiding by q firm
and reasonable execution Of the lawi
and also bend their energies TO geneI
al Improvement and economical ad
ministration of affairs they will Der
form the duties with which they
have been entrusted, deserve public
approval and merit the public cona
dence which has been bestowed OF
them. Failing in this they will de
Eerve defeat.
