CAN'T DODGE INCOME
TAX, SAYS kRUYER
Revenue Collector Calls Atten-
tiOn to Final Day for Re-
mittanCe, June 80.
Special to The News-Times.


INDIANAPOLIS. June 24.-The
final day for payment of the income
tax, according TO Peter j. Kruger of
South Bend, collector OF internal rev.
enue for the Indianapolis district, is
June 80.
There is no use for anyone to at
tempt TO dodge payment" declared
Mr.. kruger. He affirmed the state
ment of Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
AdoO on this subject. A 90 per cent
penalty attaches to tax not paid by
that date and an additional tax of FIVE
per cent a month will be levied for
delinquency after that date.
Hundreds of blanks have been mail
ed to manufacturers and employers
In the district by Kruger requesting
that they fill in names of persons re-
ceivtng salaries that come within the
taxable limit. The return OF these
slips will be used by the collector in
ferreting out persons who have sought
to dodge payment.
I'VE have the returns here and af-
ter June 80 we will compare them
with the list of taxes paid and de-
linquents will be served with a no.
tice and the penalty will be attached" >"
Collector Kruger said. There will
be no favorites with Uncle Sam It's
a different proposition trying to dodge
a federal tax and evading payment Of
a city levy"
Not only does the penalty attach to
the tax of delinquents but the de-
linquents are liable TO criminal prose-
cutiOn for evading the law. There is
a provision for the assessment of a
fine of from $40 to $4,000 TO which
may be added a term Of imprison-
ment for failure to make a return
and for failure to pay the tax.
