The New Law Is Emphatic On That
Point. The Books Must Be
Closed On May list.
Under the new law that went into
effect this year property owners have
Until the first of May-only two DAYS
more-to make their returns. After
that date the board of equalizers
will take charge and all unreturned
property will be double taxed. This
allows but two days more in which
to make tax returns.
Tax Receiver j. D. Laing says there
are quite number of property own
ers who have not made their returns,
and he is of the opinion that some of
them are going to delay the matter
until it is too late. The law is very
emphatic on this point, and delin-
Quent property owners will find
themselves under a double tax bur-
den this year.
The law says: All tax returns
must be filed in the office Of the tax
receiver not later than the first day
of May" And in case these returns
are not made the matter is taken out
of the hands of the tax receiver and
placed in charge of the board of tax
equalizers, who are under instruc-
tions to double tax all such property.

all over the country who besieged the
internal revenue offices in attempts
to obtain revenue stamps TO comply
with the law and who because of their
inability to do so became frightened
over what might happen in the event
they were not on the minute with
their stamping.
There was no need for such fears
and this was made clear in q tele-
gram when Commissioner Osborn of
the Internal Revenue Bureau has sent
to all collectors. The telegram was
in response to frantic calls from col
lectors who told of persons demand
lag stamps and IL was hoped by Off
Gals that the notice would relieve
situation which gave indications of
causing embarrassment to thousands
of persons and which also might have
resulted in considerable confusion to
railroads and shippers.
The telegram is as follows:
Date all special tax returns
November 80 until you are able
to handle applications promptly,
unless you have information that
no effort was uade to ile same
prior to that date. If unable to ,
supply demands for documentary
stamps for bills of lading permit
shipments to go forward, have
record kept and afiix or cancel
stamps when received Notify

Officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau explain that while everything
/ possible had been done to get ready to
, enforce the law they have been ham,

failure of Congress to appoint addi-
tional money for that purpose. While
