Per Cent of Tax, For Failure to
Make Returns.
The war revenue act as it applies
to bankers, brokers, pawn-brokers,
commercial brokers, theatres, bowling
alleys and billiard rooms, commission
merchants, tobacco and cigar deal
ers, became effective November l.,
l9l4. Collector of Internal Revenue
Frank B. Niles, of Toledo, Ohio, de-
sires to call the attention of all per-
sons affected by the law to it's pro-
visions. The law was finally passed
on October %, 1914, and it provides
that the above classes of taxpayers
must make sworn returns during the
month of November 1914, in order to
avoid penalties.
Collector Niles has not yet receiv-
ed blanks on which to make returns.
and he advises all persons and firms
liable to the tax to write him at once.
so he may send them blanks as soon
as received. Particular attention is
called to the fact that failure to re-
ceive blank will not excuse any one
from the penalty for not making a
return during the month of Novem-
Der.
