WILSON SIGNS BILL MARKING A
STEP TOWARD COLLECTION
OF INCOME TAX
BY Basil Manly

Washington, Sept. 21.-A step to-
ward complete collection of the fed
eraI income tax was taken in the de-
ficiency bill, just signed by the pres
ident, which directs the bureau of
efficiency to overhaul completely all
methods now used by the bureau of
internal revenue.
The necessity for a house-cleaning
in the bureau Of internal revenue
was first pointed out in the articles
published in The Day Book exposing
the wholesale evasion of the income
tax. My Investigations showed that
the methods in use not only failed to
reveal the essential facts regarding
the collections actually made. No
body in the bureau had. any idea of
such elementary facts as: How much
revenue was collected at the, source; ,
how much tax was derived from real
estate incomes, etc.
The internal revenue bureau has
had a shake-up coming for a long
time and it looks like it may get it
now.
The first thing for an efficiency
experts to realize when they tackle
the bureau is that publicity is the
greatest promoter of efficiency.
If the income tax returns had been
public records the internal revenue
bureau would have been kept up to
the mark automatically. The man
who works under spotlight can't

Washington, Feb. 22.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, the same Doc" who said he
had discovered the north pole but who,
scientists said, was slightly mistaken,
is back in Washington again, seeking
vindication He says he has started the
machinery to bring about a congress
sional investigation and that he will
not let up until his story of his travels
in the arctic are proven true by con-
gress.
AS preliminary to his present cam
paign he has gone around the world
and added two more discoveries to
his list. One is that the wild men of
Borneo, whom P. 7. Barnum first
brought to the attention of civilization,
are light complexioned, possess intel
lect and have been much maligned.
His other discovery is a new hair tom
ic. 1t is cold air. The Doc" says hot
air will not start anything worth
while.
The only disappointing thing about
his latest trip was that he did not
climb Mount Everest, in the Himalay-
as, the highest known mountain in
the world, as he had planned to do. He
was ready and the 29,002 foot noun
tain was there, but in Calcutta the
American consul general told him no
one would be permitted to go on an
exploration.
But the DOC" just had to discover
something, so he picked out the wild
men of Borneo and he had a lovely
visit with them.
They have been pictured" he said,
las a hairy lot Of wild devils who
don't know anything AS matter of
fact they are fine specimens The men
are head hunters but not cannibals,
and they only take the heads of their
enemies. Some so-called civilized
people do that"
