WANTS INCOME TAX
PROBE TO LEARN TRUTH
OF FRAUD CHARGES
Representative Heating Asks
McAdoo to Tell Whether Eva
sions Aggregate $780,
100000 a Year
DEMAND FOR PUBLICITY

WASHINGTON. May 3.-Secretary of
nish Congress with statement showing
whether or not s320 900 900 is being an
nually withheld from the Treasury by in
come tax frauds and evasions," in a reso-
luton offered in the House today by Rep
resentative Edward Keating, Colorado.
McAdoo. by the same resolution, Is
asked why he has not recommended TO the
President that all income tax returns be
made public. in order that fraud may be
checked. The law provides the President
may order such publicity on recommended
tion OF the Secretary.
Keating said he based his resolution on
charges by Basil NJ. Manly, who was chief
investigator for the Industrial Relations
Commission.
Manly, in published statements has de-
clared S4O1 .250000 should be received an
nually from the income tax, instead of the
SS0.19O,0OO actually collected.
BY the resolutions, McAdoo Is directed
to declare whether or not the following
findings Of Manly are true:
That of S15.OOO.OOO.OOO paid in
wages and salaries in 1914, S500,000,-
600 was paid to men receiving salaries
larger than $4,000.
That more than $500. 100000
year. above the $4,000 exemption, Is
received as income in the form of
fees.
That $40. 900 100000 is Eeceived as
income from ownership of property
and conduct of business, above the
$4,000 exemptions.
That incomes received by persons
subject to the income tax total S2O,-
S66. 900, 900 that with all proper de-
ductons made, the figure should be
S14,525, 900 900
That. based on this total, with the
supertax enforced on the larger in
comes, the total taxes to be collected
would be S3S1,25O,OOO.
HAS FAITH IN MANLY.
In introducing the resolution, Repre-.
sentative keating said:
IL do this largely because of my faith
in Basil NJ Manly. Through his work
with the Industrial Relations Commission.
Mr. Manly has demonstrated he is an
economist of the first rank and an in
uetatigable investigator who, in his re
searches, would display neither fear nor
favor.
"Mr Manly declares that approximately
$500, 100000 is being annually withheld
from the Treasury of the United States by
income tax frauds and evasions.' You
may discount Mr.. Manly's figures by so
per cent. and still have sum which makes
all other frauds which have heretofore
been perpetrated on the Federal Govern.
ment seem insignificant.
Three hundred and twenty million dol
lars represents the total income of 6OO,O
American workngmen who have labored
every day of the year.
WHAT MILLIONS WOULD DO.
THE nations pension roll is enormous.
but with the sum which Basil Manly says
the milionares of this country steal from
the nation every year we could pay it
twice over.
