SHALL RICH PAY FOR PREPAREDNESS?
= TAX MACHINERY MUST BE REORGANIZED

lax MACHINERY MI
BY BASIL M. MANLY
Noted Economic Investigator
In the preceding articles 1 have
shown you that the fraud and eva
sions under the federal income tax
amount to more than $320,000,-
enough to pay the entire cost
of preparedness" - and that these
frauds cannot be prevented nor the
taxes. collected either under the law
as it now stands, or with the existing
administrative machinery.
The great question now arises,
what are we going to do about it?
These taxes must be collected; the
nation needs the revenue and justice
demands the enforcement of the law.
There are only two effective meth
DDS.
First-The adoption and extension
of the plans which are being urged
by Sec'y McAdoo, providing system
of surveillance over every potential
income taxpayer.
: Second-The adoption of the sim
pie expedient of publishing the in
come tax returns so that the nation
may know who are the honest tax
payers and who are the dishonest
tax thieves.
The publicity plan proved its sue
cess as a means of insuring the pay
ment of the income tax during the
civil war.
J Under the civil war income tax the
individual returns were published
and resulted in the uncovernig of |
large frauds and delinquenoies. But |
in 1870 when congress reached the |
lowest depths of corruption and |
venaI subserviency to the rich, when |
the public lands were being turned |
over to the railroads in return for |
brides almost openly given, when Jay |
IsrIr

published the number showing in
come over $4,000 was 94,887. In 1871
when publicity was prohibited the
number fell to 74,775 and to 72,949 in
1872!
The existing system Of complete
secrecy is at the basis of the present
tax frauds. It is fundamentally wrong
and un-American. Tax paying is pub
lie business, and public business
ought to be public.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
admits and has directed the attention
of congress to the enormous frauds
and evasions under the income tax
law. He does not agree with the es-
Inmates given above as to the prob
able amounts of the frauds, but he
does agree that they are enormous.
l discussed with Sec'y McAdOo on
three occasions what he proposes to
do. This is his answer:
There can be do doubt that thou
sands of persons are successfully
evading the income tax and that
wholesale frauds are being perpe-
trated in all parts Of the country and
among all classes of taxpayers. Peo-
pie are not voluntarily going to pay
this tax any more readily than they
do any other. The must be made to
pay it, and this can be done only
through very large increase in the
number of revenue agents and exam
liners. We must do more than SIM
ply examine the returns. We must
build up a system that will give us
knowledge Of the identity and prob
able income of every person who
ought to be subject to the tax.
Call it espionage if you will. The
tax is just and equitable and can be
collected only by such system as 1
have outlined am asking congress

Are Austria and Hungary to
Keep the Prices Of
Food Down.

tCorrespondence Of the Associated Press.)
VIENNA, Jan. 4.-Further measures
Tor the elimination Of the "mlddleman
whose participation in commerce does
hot add to the value or facilitate the
distribution Of necessities" are being
adopted throughout the Austro-Flun-
garian monarchy. Not alone are new
laws for this purpose being enacted,
but the provisions already made by the
civil and military bodies are now being
enforced with rigor that gives no
quarter to offenders.
Laws in force and in the course OF
enactment provide that nobody within
Austria and Hungary may buy an ar
ticle Of necessity and then sell 1t again
for the sake of personal gain. This
affects transactions in foodstufPs es-
pecially. When the European war
broke out 1t was found that there were
many who wished to profit by IT
through the "cornering" Of certain
supplies. In little time the cost Of
living went up alartningiy, increases
ranging from fifty to 400 per cent. To
curb this tendency the government it.
self took such action as its power and
scope permitted. 1t was found, how
ever, that the legislative bodies Of
Austria and Hungary, had to act in
the matter. Suitable laws were adopt
ed, and these are now being so ampll-
fed as to close the loopholes which

experts and every lecturer will devote
the latter part Of his appearance on
the floor to answering questions.
The speaking list includes some OF the
best authorities on good roads in the
United States and include in the num-
Der is several from our own state.
All kinds Of roads, whether earth,
concrete, tarvia, asphalt, macadam,
sandstone, warrentlte, brick or tel
ford will come in for consideration
and cost of construction and main
tenance will be dealt with in the MI
nutest detail. There will be plenty
of amusement in connection with the
good roads school as the program
committee has not overlooked the
fact that there must be a social end
to the delegates visit here as well as
a business side. State Road Engineer
A. d. Williams has surrounded him
self with corps Of assistants in the
arrangement of the program and as a
result there will be pleasure as well
as business mixed with the short stay
of the delegates.
The sessions will be held In Me-
chanical hall and commencement hall
and the students of the university as
we'll as the citizens Of Morgantown
will take part in the proceedings as
well as the visiting road men. NO
stone has been left unturned that
would add to the entertainment OF
the road men and unless advance In
formation goes wrong the attendance
this year will far exceed that Of last.

The BILL which is sure to pass, pro-
vides maximum penalty OF two
years Imprisonment and a fine OF
$1,000 crowns. Another bill, from the
same source, provides for penalty Of
three years Imprisonment and fine
OF 10000 crowns, for the person who
wilfully destroys or depreciates the
quantity and quality Of foodstuffs. "
Persons convicted Of this offense may
also be deprived for three years OF all

Heretofore speculation in Hungary
has been curbed principally by means

population steady supply of food
stuffs and necessities and to prevent
the forcing up of prices, apply suitable
measures in the production and distrl-
button OF these articles, included
among them such emergency reglla-
lions as are needed even If these be in
conflict with existing laws"

it. Most of those who have done so
have been made to account, and in
dealing with them the civil courts

the military authorities. Meanwhile

(By w. d. linn, County Farm Agent)
II you have a silo and not enough
silage to feed your stock through the
winter remember that it will be bet
ter to feed dry feed for awhile until
you are sure the sllage will CARRY
them to good grass. Our animals
relish little dry feed in early win
ter because they have had green feed
so long, but toward spring they be-
gin to crave a succulent food and "
lage is such. 1t is, therefore. much
better to have them go from silage to
grass.
Have you not noticed how rest
less the cattle become in the feed lot
when the days get warm and along
in April?
II they can have silage then they
will be much more contented and con-
tentment is as necessary for stock as
for men II they would do well.
Those having silos are requested
to make a note Of how much Is spoil
ed on top. This is desired in order
that we may get line on the best
methods Of sealing silos to recon-
mend next year. Some Of you will
receive letters on this subject later.
Please be ready to make an accurate
report.
Impaction.
Already complaint has come from
farmers that they are having trouble

even though an abundance Is at hand:

GETTING RID NOW
OF DLEMAN

various actions at law have disclosed.
A recent ruling in an Austrian su-
perior court in this city is OF interest,
because 1t shows both the letter and
spirit Of the interpretation laws
which have been adoptd.
In this case three Galicians had
bought a relatively small quantity OF
foodstuff, mostly grain. At the trial
1t was shown that the three dealers
had sold the articles again in the same
town, in one instance wheat had been
re-sold to It's original owner. A profit
had been made, and slight increase
in the price Of food made from the
articles in question, had resulted, 1t
was proven.
The court ruled that under the law
this was an offense, because the sale
and resale Of the articles had been
made by the defendants with profit
to which they were not entitled, hav-
ing added neither to the value OF the
articles, nor facilitated their distribu-
ton They had, in fact found the
Judge, rendered distribution more
difficult by holding the articles for a
certain time.
The defense was that the accused
had acted within their constitutional
rights by buying and selling as they
had done, and that they had not ham
pered distribution, because they had
at all times been ready to sell. But
the prosecution obliged the defend
ants to make the admission that they
had held for a higher price, where
upon the court found that this was
now an offense, because to hold neces-
