START ON SEARCH
FOR TAX DODGERS
People Who Failed to Make
Proper Reports Will Be
Prosecuted Unless They Pay
the Required Amount.

WASHINGTON, July s. Nation
wide investigation Of the returns in
the income tax filed by corporations
and individuals has been begun by
agents and inspectors working at the
direction Of Commissioner Osborne Of
the internal revenue TO ascertain the
correctness OF each payment paid in
TO the treasury.
Fraudulent statements in attempts
TO eVade or defeat the assessment re-
quired by the law is held TO be a mis-
demeanor and the person or officer Of
any corporation rendering false re-
turn is liable to a fins not exceeding
$4,000 or Imprisonment not exceeding
one year. or both, at the discretion
OF the court.
With the expectation Of finding and
Furnishing those persons who have
income and sought TO escape their
rightful assessment the inspectors
have been notified to thoroughly ex.
anime and investigate the returns.
Officials OF the treasury declare this
pursuit will be relentless and those
caught in the dragnet which is being
Thrown out will be required to pay
the additional amount OF their tax or
answer to suits of prosecution. IL is
declared authoritatively that the in
Vestigation OF the inspectors will
probably justify the belief that many
persons in the country are under
their incomes and made false returns
to the collectors.
New York is expected TO furnish
the bulk of the deferred payments in
the income tax collections which will
be made by July 10. and officials of
the treasury are predicting that on
the expiration OF the ten days grace
the totals will have reached $4,000,
600. New York headed the list with
$4,000. 600 OF the $1,000. 600 collect
ed in corporation and individual in
come taxes, buC il is believed this
proportion will even be increased
when the delinquents have reported.
