LARGE SUMS IN
TAXES EvADED
IS THE CHARGE
Ten Millions of S17,500, 900
Unpaid Has Already Been
Recovered.

Washington. Oct. 17.-lnternal rev.
enue agents have reported that eva
sions of the special tax Of 12E per
cent by munitions manufacturers have
totalled so far approximately s17.500,-
900 More than slO.O00.0OO of that sum
already has been recovered by the gov
ernment.
The amount of tax voluntarily paid
by the munitions manufacturers last
year was approximately s26,So0,0oo.
Field Investigators. checking the re-
turns. notified them that in many cases
the amount was far below the sum &C
tually due the government.
one of the methods said to have
been used in returning minimum taxes
was to charge off a large percentage of
the value of plant under the head of
depreciation In some cases the entire
value of the plant was said to have
been deduced from the profits OF the
concern, representations being made
that at the end of the war the plants
would be of no further use. The
uractice is said to have been quite gen.
eral and to have been followed by some
of the largest manufacturers.

business in Chicago will be parsi- :

made by Fred w. upharr, president
Of the largest coal company in the
city.
"There is less than 10 days sup
