Murphy Explains Conditions Prevail
ina Now and One Year Ago.

Dubuque, March S.-That the re-
ceipts from the income tax will be
largely increased this year over last
wear. is the declaration of Collector of
Internal Revenue Louis Murphy. The
internal revenue office gives two prin-
cipal reasons why the payments made
in 1914 were disappointing, falling be-
low the estimates Of the treasury de-
partment officials, in Mr.. MURPHY
opinion. One reason is that the law
covered only ten months Of the year
1913 and the other was the Ignorance
of taxpayers regarding their duty to
make return Of income and the deduc-
ton permitted them under the law.
There were hundreds of wealthy per-
sons in Iowa who made no report or
income for 1918. According to the col
lector his office found upon investiga-
ton that the income Of these persons
were largely represented III dividends
from corporations and these dividends
were paid on Jan. !, or two months
before the income tax law became Ell
fectiye and represented practically all
their income. Again there were rlcn
persons who made returns. but whose
returns were small, because a large
part of their income was received prior
to March 1, 1913.
Law Better Understood.
Very few persons making return OF
income understood correctly the de-
duction or losses they were allowed TO
make. Hundreds Of them took credit
to themselves for losses Of capital as
sets. that is of money invested by them
in stocks or bonds and the value OF
which was deprecated. THE trail Oh

Murphy, Tin the claims for deductions

auctions allowed and there will conse-
ouently be large increase in the return
of net income.
Many persons subject to the income
tax law made no return Of income IN
1913 because they did not understand
their obligations or because they
thought possibly to evade the law.

found out to their sorrow that federal
