Secretary Osborn thinks that by
the end of 1914, $500 automobiles will
be registered In Arizona. Last year
3098 licenses for autos we're issued
from Osborn's office. Though 1914 is
not half over, 4250 numbers have
been issued and new applications
are received daily. There is also
marked increase in the number of
motorcycles. Last year 4S5 two
wheelers were licensed but over 60
numbers have been issued alread,
this year and Osborn thinks that the
number will soon go to 1000.
In 1913 New York had more auto
mobiles in proportion to population
than any other state; California came
second and Arizona third. The
chances are that Arizona will leap to
first place this year.

WILSON RESENTS
WRATH OF GOLFER

Recognition.

Washington. d. C., June 24.-Wssh
ington golfers are still smiling at M
incident which occurred last Saturday
morning while President Wilson anC
Dr. Cary Grayson were playing 6
round OF golf at the Washington Su.
burban club.
President Wilson is partial to the
course of the Washington Country
club, and he has become such a faith
! full follower OF this course that the
other golfing organizations have felt
quite elighted. To remove this feel
ing. several weeks ago he decided to
vary his trips and play at all the clubs
for a time.
The Washington Suburban club,
which he chose Saturday. has q men,
bership made up largely of prominent
Jewish business men and professional
men.
When the president and DR.. Grayson
started out there was a party n short
Wilson does not play a long game of
golf. so he did not take the usual pre-
cautions OF delaying his start until
this party reached the next tee.
Spectators differ as to whe>Ser he
called out "Fore!"-the golfers warn
ing-when he started HIS drive. The
majority say he did not. All. how
ever, agree that the president sent
out the longest, cleanest ball he has
hit in many a day, and II sailed
straight as a shot for the ear OF one
OF the golfers on the green ahead.
a distance of 215 yards. This player |
was so startled by the whizz OF the |
ball past him that he turned around |
in rage to give vent to his feelings.
Then the man discovered he was |
the president of the United |
States. Instantly he was all confusion
and humility and instead of the presi-
dent apologizing to him he was pro-
fusely apologizing TO the president.
A change of temper followed the
change in apology, however, and Mr..
extremely put out, ordered
his caddy to carry his clubs to the
club house. He quit the course then
md there.
The member OF the club, when he
Jaw how angry the president was. i'm
nediately quit the course also, and be-
ore returning to the city wrote Presi- :
ent Wilson a courteous note OF apol- :
gy.
Other members OF the club, how

enue confidently expects to collect the
fines which will be incurred. Besides
the nominal fines OF $50 for a corpora
ton and 500 for an individual the gov
eminent will profit by an extra so per
cent of the tax due but not paid IN
the first instance.
In official quarters it is said that be-
cause of the increase of revenue which
will come to the government from this
source the collection Of the extra PEN
alties will be welcomed in every case.
and that from the present outlook re-
ceipts will be greatly swelled thereby.
That practically all dodgers will be
caught sooner or later is confidently
predicted.

Every Branch of the Local Gov

! WASHINGTON. d. c. June 24.-Mil
lionaire income tax dodgers were the
chief subjects of discussion at yester-
days cabinet meeting. Secretary Nc
Adoo laid his heart open to his col
leagues and declared II they would
lend him their hearty cooperation he
would soon round up all OF the pluto
crat dodgers.
The cabinet promised assistance and,
as indicated heretofore. the entire Sc
cret service OF the government, includ-
fng the investigators OF the depart
ment OF justice. the special agents of
the departments Of commerce, labor.
and agriculture. pOstofice Inspectors.
and the 400 investigators OF the inter
nal revenue bureau. will all be turned
loose on the dodgers.
Enough evidence of evasion has been
collected already. according to Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue o.
borne. to make up at least half OF the
S23. 0OO. 900 deficit In the income tax re-
csipts. Much of this has been obtained
from letters received by the bureau,
pointing out the names Of dodgers and
their incomes.
Other and more comprehensive
sources of information of failure to
make income tax return are available
10 the bureau Last April Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo caused every
corporation IN the country to furnish
a complete list OF all its officers and
agents and the salaries paid them.
Although these records have not been
- q.
the bureau that a number of men
whose names appear on these lists
have forgotten" TO make proper state
ments as TO their salaries.
The officials believe that the few
days between now and the first OF July |
VIII see many tardy persons filing their
returns. but the intervening week will |
not make any difference with respect |
10 the deliberate tax dodgers.
For the benefit OF these an enormous
mass Of data has already been collect
ed. Soon after the income tax law
was enacted the bureau went to work
with this purpose in view and memoir
anda have been assembled relating to
the probable incomes OF many fndi-
viduals who have not dreamed that
their business deals were being check
ed W.
-Four business men in this vicinity
last spring bought a piece OF real es-
tate which has since figured in the
news several times. Within a short
time they had turned il over with a
net profit to each of the four of s27,-

of the four is there any record OF this.
