NO BIG 0vERPAYMENTS
UNDER THE INCOME TAX
Injured Parties Cannot Obtain Re
funds Unless They File Form
al Applications.

Probably no more than a thousand dol
lars in overpayments of income tax is in
VOWED in double assessments enormously
made by the income tax collection divis-
ion of the internal revenue bureau and
paid for out of the income of individuals
liable to the tax. But they are not likely
to receive refunds from the government
unless they discover for themselves that
the error has been made against them
and make formal claim for the return Of
the extra money they are out OF pocket.
Such errors arose in two ways AS
sesors Of the division had to deal with
both monthly and annual reports Of
money withheld from the source for the
two n1snths of the last calendar year
In a number of instances the tax was
not only assessed on the monthly re-
turns but the assessment was made
again on the annual report. Collectors.
sending in reports of individual in
comes, have occasionally sent in both
original and duplicates. with the re-
suit that the double assessment has
been made.

Ambassador Bernstorff, who supplied
him with letters to German diplomats at
Holland and elsewhere, promised him Ger

to facilitate the shipment of chemicals

the interruption of the cable to Germany
Steps for the recovery of non-contra-

Restrictions as to Refunds.

TIE internal revenue bureau is without
authority under the law to refund any
tax collected in error, unless readjustment
is based on formal claim the justice of
which is fully proved. So, only in such
cases where the error is discovered by
the injured taxpayer is correction made.
Also, there can be no correction Of err
ror after two years; therefore, claims

No Serious Hardships.

Tax withheld at the source has not
resulted in large assessments to In
dividuals. so no one person has been
hurt very seriously by these overpay-
ments. But the aggregate amounts of
tax withheld by any one large corpora
ton might easily run up into big fig
ures, although this has not yet hap
pened Still some fair-szed corpora
tions have been subjected to this error.
In cases where the collector has sent
in duplicate reports, and discovery was
promptly made of the fact. the collec-
ton division has been prompt TO call
attention to it, avoiding the possible
doubling of the assessment. But the in
experience of the office in dealing with
something entirely new has allowed
many such duplication of reports to fall
under double assessment. In the cases
of tax withheld at the source. COM
plant has been filed of double assess
ments by a number of concerns and in

pr. Samuel Chilcs Mitchell, president
OF the Medical College OF Virginia
was yesterday elected president @:
Delaware College. at Newark, at A
salary Of $1,000 ~ year. Or. Mitchell
was In Portsmouth yesterday 10 make
the address TO the graduates of the
Portsmouth High school and no Off
ciai statement could bc secured from

college. however. that he will accent

ti"n in time to assume his duties ut
Delaware on June 20
Every possible effort has been made
TO keep Dr. Mitchell IN Richmond. and
members OF the executive committee
OF the Medical College. both ne indi-
Viduals and as a body. have offered
MIN many inducements in the hone
mat he would remain as president OF
that institution. While he has refrain
ed from making public statement rs
TO the course which he viii pursue. Il
Is the opinion Of those who are In =
position 10 know, that no Will accept
the call.
They give as their reasons tho fact
that Delaware College is an institu-
ton devoted 10 the more genorol
causes of education. and Is not strict
~ professional school, as is the Med
icaI Co!ieEc. Delaware has recently
inauPurated n system OF cocducation

fully meet with the approval of DIR
Mitchell, It Is said. He feels that m.
steps already taken toward this end
hY himself ana the college should DO
sufficient. and that any further move
should he made by the university au-
thoritics.
According to statements made az the
college yesterday, 1t is improbable
that successor OF Dr. Mitchell will

that the board OF visitors will con-
