Register Your Income Tax Return

Penalties for failing to f,le income
tax returns on or before March I are
severe. As set forth In the regulations
issued by the TREASURY Department
they are as follows:
"In case any person liable to make re-
turn shall neglect 10 make or render a list
Or return Il shall be the duty of the coll
lsctor. after due notice has been given.
to make such list. according TO the best
Information he can obtain. When
duly certified by the collector. the said
list thus prepared shall be the return Of
said person and the tax 90 ascertained
to be due. together with the
penalty incurred. shall be assessed and
collected.
III any person liable to make
returns or pay tax shall neglect TO make
return at the time or times specified in
each year, such person shall be liable to
. penalty OF not less than $40 nor more
than $1,000"
Under the circumstances It would
seem that the Trea sury Department
should provide every necessary protec-
ton to the citizen by supplying him
with evidence that he has filed his re-
turn in proper form and at the proper
time There Is no way Of distinguish
ing between neglect to make return
and the loss at the office Of collector
of internal revenue Of any return duly
filed. The Treasury Department should
require the collectors of internal rev.
enue to furnish receipts for returns
when filed. and the set Of blanks pre-
pared by the Treasury Department to
facilitate returns and collections should
include n receipt to be filled out and
furnished TO the taxpayer making a
return of his liability under the law.
We understand that nothing Of the
kind has been done. At what is prob
ably the most important Of all the in
ternal revenue Offices In the country,
that situated In the Custom House In
this city, the income tax payer submits
his return and goes away without the
least official acknowledgment that he
has been there and filed the statement
required. His return IL taken from
him and tossed into drawer on top
Of the heap already accumulated dur
ing the day. and what becomes Of 1t
after that depends on the merclful prov.
idence which guides the workings of
Government Offices. So far as the tax
payer IL concerned he has not even a
scrap Of writing by way Of acknowl.
edgment which will save him from the
penalties imposed for neglect In ca sc
his return should go sstray In the tax
bureau.
Accordingly We offer the suggestion
10 our friends that instead OF person
ally submitting their tax returns to the
internal revenue collector or forwa ri.
ing them by messenger they send the
returns by registered mail. They will
then have at least the regular return
card which the Post Once Depar tment
supplies to produce as evidence for
what It may be worth Of compliance
with the law In respect to the time OF
rendering statements Of taxable gains.

whence the statistics?

In his gloomy address on the de
terioratlon of the American Physique"
the Rev. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLS as
serted that every time you double the

On what basis do these appalling 6g-
ures rest? II they are deduced from
the proportionate increase In the pOpu-
lation OF insane asylums as compared
with fifty years ago, they are obviously
misleading and worthless. because Of
the great change that has been wrought
in recent years in the Treatment Of de-
mented persons Sufferers who until
recently would have been consigned to
