'A6,OlO DODGE:
THE INCOME TAX
Returns Far Below the Esti-
mates Of Experts.
GOING AFTER THE DODGERS
According To Figures Made Public by
the Secretary OF the Treasury
ss7,sss Returns Were Made
ctnder the Law.

Washington, d. C.--Unless the ex-
perts who figured out the "taxables"
when Congress was working ON the In
come Tax law were far at sea in their
calculations, there are more than 140.-
900 income tax dodgers who have
evaded the internal revenue collector
and failed to pay their share of the
toll.
According to figures made public by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, 1888
returns were made under the law dur
ing the fiscal year just ended. The
estimates on which Congress did much
of its work on the act gave 425, 900 tax
able incomes. These estimates did
not include incomes between $4,000
and $4,000. According to the state
ment, 1926 returns were made on In
comes between these limits, so that
the total discrepancy between the esti-
mates and the incomes is LAG. 1888.
Not single class of incomes lived
up to the hope Of the estimators In
the $1,000 to $4,000 class, however,
the discrepancy was greatest. the esti-
mates being 17S,O0O and the returns
1O1.71S. Incomes from $4,000 to S.. 600
were only found to number 114,4S4,
while the estimate was 10000.
The announcement showed that "A
returns were made on incomes over
$1.000,000, 81 on incomes between
100000 and $1,000. 900, 222 on incomes
between 100000 and $4,000 and 1,241
on incomes between 100000 and $780,
600. In no instance were these figures
near the estimates, which put the ST.
100000 incomes at 100, the next at
$50. the next at 500 and the 100000 to
$250,000 at $500
The lack of incomes between $40, 900
and $4,000 and between $4,000 and
$4,000 was shown by the fact that
there were only 26.S18 returns OF the
first class. with estimates of $4,000,
and 1877 of the latter, with estimates
Of 24,5O0.
There were 6.6S2 married women
who made separate returns. The total
Of all married persons making returns
was 278.835. The single men num-
bered 55,2l2 and the single women
23.551.

of young men. Most people, he de-
clared, believe young men to be arch
radicals" but that he had found them
to be very conservative.
st would be good for men. both
young and DID, Mr.. Wilson said, "to
detach themselves more from business
and think of higher things wonder
how many Of us think of Christianity
as an fundamentally for practical de-
velopment of mankind?
mo man is a true Christian who
does not think of how he can help his
brothers. how he can uplift mankind,
and who does not labor unselfishly for
others.
The duty of Christian young men Is
to uplift the world. They are the
strongest kind of young men. / be-
lieve there is growing to be more and
more a demand for such men in the
world, for the world is growing to ap-
preciate them more and more"
