SINKS TO DEATH IN MIRE
AS SNAKES STRIKE AT HIM

DENVER. Colo. Oct. 20.-A hor-
rible death, atone at night in a vast,
tracliless swamp where he gradually
sank from sight into the foul green
miro, while yenomous snakes snapped
at his face. was the fate of Samuel
d. Barry, former resident OF Cold
en-. who escaped from n Colorado
sheriff when being brought back from
New Orleans to stand trial in Golden
on charges of horse stealing.
Barry. IS years old, leaped
through the open window OF Santa
Fe train near Guthrie. Okla, when
the express was making fifty miles an
hour and passing swamp forty miles
square, 1t was nearly 9 o'clock at
night and dark.
Tho train was stopped and search
begun. Traces of blood were fol-
lowed from where Barry landed to
the edge of the swamp, few yards
ngay. Out In the dismal, murky
swamp means and cries could be
family heard, but these suddenly
ceased. BY the aid OF their lanterns
the searchers could see hundreds OF
the wr!thing, wrIggling venomous
reptiles which infest the morass.
Residents Of the region say that
there is no doubt Barry plunged
headlong into the black swamp to
escape and gradually sank below the
surface of the treacherous bog with
in few minutes. They also state
that tho reptiles would have caused
HIS death in few minutes.

PANAMA. Oct O.-Following tho
Inauguration OF President valdes on
October the contest over his election

President valdes has informed the

would probably be less than $25, the
treasury is very apt not to waste any
time in an effort to get the neces-
sary proof.
The law should be amended to re-
quire every one with a gross income
over $1,000 to file a sworn return,
with an adequate penalty for failure.
Furthermore, the treasury depart
ment should be authorized to require
any Individual to make a return
upon proper demand.
Second-The Dividend JOKER"
however, probably results in almost
as many failures to make returns
and in the loss of an even greater
amount of tax.
The Dividend Joker was inserted
in the act very cleVerly by an amend
ment to one of the most complex
sections. It provides that persons
liable for the normal tax only, on
their own account or in behalf of an
other, shall not be required to make
return of the income derived from
dividends on the capital stock or
from the net earnings of corpora
lions, joint stock companies or assO-
citation and insurance companies
This means that unless you have
more than $4,000 a year income
from dividends you need not make
any return, and the treasury cannot
compel. you to do so.
If a collector comes to you and
says: "You are living at the rate of
at least $4,000 a year. Please make.

that I get more than $4,000 from
some source other than dividends
you will get no return"

been literally interpreted by many
taxpayers and lawyers as relieving

BY BASIL M. MANLY
Noted Economic Investigator.
Now that it is established that the
United States income tax is a failure
and a colossal failure@We must
discover why it is failure.
To accomplish this it is necessary
to begin with an analysis of the in
come tax law itsef-to examine it
in order that we may determine
whether or not it is intrinsicaIIy an
adequate instrument, if properly en-
forced.
The weaknesses of the present law
are many, some affecting great prin-
ciples, which are worthy of discus
sion, while others, which affect only
details, need not even be enumerated
at present.
The first great weakness in the
law is the provision that only per-
sons having net incomes over $1,000
are required to file returns. The eff
feet of this is to throw the entire bur-
den of proof upon the government at
the most critical point-that of dis
covering who should be taxpayers.
If the government suspects that
John Doe should make a return it
cannot turn a wheel to compel him
to do so unless it has in it's posses
sion tangible evidence that John Doe
has a net income greater than
$4,000. Now to prove net income
the government must know practi-
caIIy every fact regarding, not only
John Does income, but also his ex-
penses! If the government can prove
that John Doe has a gross income of
$4,000 and tries to force him to
make a return, John Doe need only
say, THAT is all very well, but can
you prove that my allowable ex-
penses and deductions are not great
er than $1,000. 1 will not make a
sworn return until you do"
