Sans Golfers money that would other
wise have escaped him. AS soon as the
news appears the revenue agent promptly
visits the manager; for this gentleman,
by law, must deduct the tax from the
lady's salary. Charlie Chaplin recently
said that his new contract means $3.50, 600
year. Probably the one American most
interested in this astounding news is the
income tax man; for Charlie has kindly

do it as business. I keep books, pay
salaries, run it just like my business here.
Now, last year made $4,000 on this
business; but it cost me $50, 600 to run
it. / put the $4,000 down as income,
and the $4,000 as losses in trade OF
course that's all right"
"No, that's all wrong" says the revenue
agent. "You can't deduct 5O,OOO be-
cause that's not your regular business
it's not loss in trade"
at seems unjust, says the broker, "but
suppose must submit. Those farmers
in Congress have got it in for us New
Workers. But cut out that $40, 900 income
from the farm"
"Oh, no; you must pay on that. That's
taxable income, according to the depart
ment's ruling"
Steam Yachts and Art Galleries
Classed as "Losses in Trade"
NATURALLY, the agent leaves the
Office as expeditiOusly as possible after
breaking this cheerful news. But these
situations confront him constantly. Mil
lionaires deduct, as 3losses in trade" the
expense of keeping steam yachts, country
houses, and art galleries. One has racing
stable on which the income is $4,000 and
the outgo 100000. The law demands
that he pay an income tax on the first,
but that he can not deduct the latter item
as a loss in trade. The agents caught one
venturesome steel man deducting con-
siderable amount as Gloss in trade" which,
on scrutiny, proved to be an expenditure
for acting as an "angel" to musical
comedy show.
But these Investigations concern only
the people who actually file returns. In
addition, many thousands make no re-
turns at all. A man or woman who has
a net income of $4,000, and who does not
furnish particulars to the Internal Reve-
nue. Office, is committing serious offense.
How does the government locate these
malefactors?
The whole United States is divided into
districts, each district being in charge of
a revenue agent and his assistants AS
soon as the tax returns are in, Washington
sends each agent list of all the people
in his district who have filed. The DO
sition of income tax agent presupposes an
intimate acquaintance in his section. Like
an ordinary commercial agency, the in
ternal revenue Office must keep tabs on
the financial standing of individuals The
chief interest of this Washington report,
therefore, is the names that it does not
contain. There is doctor who notori-
ously has a large practice, and yet who
has sent no report to Washington. Here
is lawyer who occupies offices in an ex-
pensive building, and has a stenographer
and other accessories indicating regular
business. Why has he put in no return?
Here is a business man whose house and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-07-16

informed the American government that
his liability for income tax amounts to
about $4,000 year. Charlie will not
pay this tax; his employer will pay and
deduct the amount from the celebrated
contract.
Baseball players who publicly boast OF
their earnings fall into the same trap.
The makers of graphaphone records who
tell us what fabulous prices they pay their
performers do them great financial hurt,
for the income tax man at once comes
around to collect. Indeed, the Washing-
ton officials give particular attention to
public characters of this kind. The other
day they bounced down upon the New
York Hippodrome and obtained full de-
tails of all performers whose salaries justi-
fly taxation. The Hippodrome and the
Metropolitan Opera House have to hand
such tax money over the counter.
Opera singers, especially foreign artists,
cause an infnity of trouble. These people
are not only temperamental, but they
have little enthusiasm in contributing to
the American exchequer. One of the
most distinguished foreign divas failed to
make return last year. When the reve-
nue. agent called, she tearfully apologized
for her oversight, and agreed to notify
her lawyer to comply with the regulations.
Get veel be in tomorrow, she said, as
she charmngly bowed the official gentle
man out. An American member of the
company-our native artists are not over
fond of these foreigners-heard of the
transaction, and called the agent on the
telephone. In accordance with this con-
fidential information, the income tax man
called on the lady again-this time, how
ever, not in her apartment but at her
state-room on an outgoing steamship. As
soon as the official had disappeared the
day before, she had gathered her belong
ings, including her good American money,
and jumped on ship bound for France!
Of course she burst into tears when the
unfeeling agent led her from the ship to
headquarters, informing her on the way
that she had made herself liable to term
in prison. She then paid her tax, which
was large one, and $1,000 fine for the
attempted evasion.
This taught the officials lesson; they
no longer depend on returns from opera
singers, but collect the tax at the source
that is, the box-office. They obtain
itineraries whenever distinguished artist
starts on tour. AS soon as the concert
ends, the box-office furnishes an account
ing. If the earnings of any particular per-.
former exceed $4,000, the theater must
deduct the tax. In any case. the depart
ment has complete details as to income No
one can now get out of the country without
paying his tax, as every one must show
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-07-16

manner of living certainly indicates an
income of at least $4,000 a year; yet his
name is strangely missing from the list.
Although another rides around in an ex-
pensive automobile, he tells Uncle Sam
nothing about his income. Here is man
whose wife dresses extensively and gives
ostentatious parties; certainly he can't
do all that on $4,000 year!
The revenue agent has greater facilities
than the average "credit man." He
studies the real estate transfers and the
tax offices in his search for people of
property. The bank examinations made
by the comptroller of the currency reveal
who the big depostors and borrowers are
Information that is frequently handed
over to the revenue agent Even the in
surance companies must give their policy
holders and the size of premiums paid.
Merchants will tell, when pressed, about
the promptness with which certain people
pay their bills; trustees must open all
their books relating to trust funds. just
imagine yourself sizing up the people on
your street; it is not difficult to pick out
those whose incomes exceed $4,000. A
man, like a revenue agent, who spends all
his time doing this naturally becomes ex-
pert.

the trouble to look at the books.
Here; I'm going to put you down for
$1,000. You've got that much. If You
don't like it, you can sue."
And he hurries out to call upon the
next man. This agent claims to be 50
expert that a mere glance at the premise
enables him to make an assessment
Though trife informal, this method
produces the desired results.

Anonymous letters constantly pour in on

In this country publicity is the great
watch-word, and the revenue agents are
perhaps our most diligent readers of news
papers and magazines. year or two
ago popular periodical ran series of
articles on people with 100000 incomes.
Washington Immediately referred all these
to their appropriate districts for investi-
cation. Leaders in certain occupations
loudly brag of their incomes-an expen-
sive form of publicity, as many have
personally learned. Thus the headlines
inform us that movie actress has signed
a 100000 contract. That habit has
poured thousands of dollars into Uncle
