ing that part of the law which re-
ouires each person having a net in
come of $4,000 or over for the tax
able year to make return, so as to
require each person having a gross
income of $4,000 or more for the tax
able year to make return. By this
change each and every person having
& gross income of $4,000 or more will
be required to make a return, showing
deductions claimed, and the depart
ment will then have the opportunity
of passing upon these deductions and
determining what amount of net in
come is taxable. Such an amendment
would simplify the administration of
the law, assure more complete returns,
materially increase the income tax
revenue, and save an immense amount
of expense to which the government
is now subjected in maintaining suf-
ficient corps of inspectors and inves-
tigators to hunt out the people who
have failed to make returns.

M'ADOO SAYS PEOPLE
DODGE INCOME TAX

Washington, Dec. 10.-Many per-
sons are dodging the federal income
tax and the law should be amended
so as to catch them, William G. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, says
in his annual report made public here
After giving a table showing the num-
her of incomes taxed, by groups, he
comments:
"It is obvious, upon the face of the
returns, that there were more than
1926 persons out of total popu-
lation of approximately a hundre
million in this country who had net
incomes Of from $4,000 to 1888 for
ten months-the taxable period for
the calendar year 1914. 1t may be
said with equal truth that there were
more than 114,484 people out of our
entire population who had net in
come of from 1888 to $4,000, and
more than 101,718 people out of our
entire population who had a net in
come of from $4,000 to $4,000 for
the same period. 1t is clear that
there were thousands of persons who
failed altogether to make return as
required by law.
"The remedy for this is, of course,
to have the collectors of internal reve-
nue. in each district make an assess
ment upon those who, in the opinion
of the collector, are liable to the tax,
and, in addition, to make such inves-
legations as may be necessary to de-
terminate who in each district have
failed to make proper returns.

attention to the necessity for chang

Several Germans, including some

The German government ordered
