Only Four Arrests For Intoxication in
Waterloo Since Saloons Closed.


Waterloo, Jan. S.-Waterloo has been
a model city since Jan. l. Only three
arrests have been made for drunken
ness and one man has been guilty of
being arrested twice in the five days.
Pat Cahill is now serving a sentence in
the city Jail on a charge of being
drunk, and it is probable he will be
sent to Knoxville as he has been ar
rested on numerous occasions during
the past month. The police officers
have had few disturbances of any kind
and aside from the arrest of four men
on charges of gambling, there has been
little work for members of the de-
partment. No big private shipments OF
liquor have so far been received in the
city. couple of the druggists hold
ing permits have received liquor ship
ments, but no large quantities billed to
private individuals have been received
at the local freight or express offices.

their earnings, and therefore their taxes,
purely for the purpose of improving their
commercial credit. Last year a concern
that paid an income tax of $4,000
failed few weeks later with huge lia-
bilities. This payment-evidence of which
could be shown in the shape of re-
ceipted bill-was made merely for the
purpose of creating an atmosphere of
prosperity and increasing borrowing ca
pacity at the bank.
About Half the Income Tax Is
Never Collected
FOR the most part, however, these are
not the falsifiers that give the govern
ment trouble. The income tax law is
being evaded on an extensive scale. Ac-
cording to the official estimate made at
the time the law was passed, the personal
tax alone should yield $75 ,OOO, 900 year.
Last year the Treasury Department col
lected only SAL 100000. Evidently this
new law has produced almost as many
moonshiners as the whisky and tobacco
taxes, and smoking them out has added
an entirely new form of adventure to the
life of the internal revenue agent. Dis
covering still in hut in the Vir-
ginia mountains or in a New York ten
ement-house is comparatively simple
task; locating the gentleman whose
income is $1,000, or the millionaire whose
deductions have been illegally made, in
wolves detective work of superior order.
At the present moment every revenue
agent in the service is eagerly on the scent
for suspects. Several hundred are giving
all their time exclusively to the income
tax. People who are filing false returns,
or who are filing no returns at all, must
not imagine that they are going about
unsupported. Many thousands have al-
ready been brought up with sharp turn,
and in most unexpected ways; so that, if
you are not caught yet, there are excellent

Moonshining
the Income Tax
By BURTON J. HENDRICK
Illustrations BY Wiyrid Jones

Another revenue agent tells a similar
story, with somewhat different end
ing. Smoking-cars on expensive railroad
trains, especially those upon which cock
tails are sold, yield an immense amount
of information. This agent, travelling on
the Twentieth Century express, overheard
an extravagantly dressed gentleman brag-
ging about his wealth.
al had an income of $50, 900 last year, I"
he exclaimed.
3Whew!' answered neighbor. "You
must have had big income tax to
pay"
Didn't pay cent! It's easy enough
to escape if you only know how
At this the revenue agent passed over
his card.
4Would you mind telling me who you
are?" he asked.
The discounted braggart glanced at the
card.
"Yes, I'll tell you who am. I'm the
biggest liar who travels between New
York and Chicago
A detailed investigation proved that
this statement was entirely true.
Indeed, people lie about their taxable
incomes for many and devious reasons.
The majority lie with the intent of getting
off the list. There are many, however,
who lie for the purpose Of getting on.
That is, there are thousands of people
paying small taxes who are not legally
required to. The simple fact is that it
tickles their vanity to be included in the
income tax class; for. when man men,
tions his income tax, everybody knows
that he must have an income exceeding
$1,000 or $4,000. according to whether he
is married or single.
aAny newspaper editor remarked

was liable for the income tax would be so

4 FEW weeks ago group OF
~ extremely prosperous look
~ ing business men were sit
4 - ting in club-car ON
train between New York and Wash "
ington. Their conversation, after
touching variety of subjects,
finally shifted to the income tax. All of
the members of the party, it presently ap-
peared, had incomes that demanded a
substantial payment, but all had escaped
the tolls.
"How did you manage it?" The ques-
ton was addressed to portly gentleman,
every line of whose rotund figure sug-
gested steel bonds and country houses.
@Oh, he answered, with wink, al was
entitled to make big deductions. How
did you get around it?"
al had big losses in trade was the
smiling response.
any income was all derived from mu-
nicipal bonds, said third, amid rever-
berating outlaws.
al lost all my income in an earthquake
snorted another.
"And all had went to the bottom in
shipwreck,' howled another.
By this time the members of the group
had lost all self-control. In loud voices
they related how they had discovered
loopholes in the income tax law, the club
car almost rocking with their amusement.
They were having such splendid time
that they failed to notice quiet gentle
man on the other side, sitting attentively
behind a newspaper. After while, when
the anecdotal millionaires had finished
their stories, this person politely ap-
preached the group.
@Would you gentlemen all kindly give
me your names and addresses?" he said.
There was general stupefaction at his
insolence. 9
"Who the devil are you, anyway" one
of them asked.
