STACKER DOLLARS
Roundup of Hidden Wealth Be.
gins in Senate.
Wants 10 Per Cent Tax on Az
Billion Undivided Profits.
MUTT & JEFF

Washington, Aug. 25.-A roundup
of Stacker dollars and hidden wealth
began in the senate today.
Jones, New Mexico, started a fight
to force corporations to pay sur-taxes
on undistributed profits, amounting,
he said, to 100000:
simultaneously, provisions were
launched to stop up the loop holes
thru which dodgers slip, by widen
ing the scope of the income tax law.
Jones would subject undistributed
profits to a ten per cent tax, raising
$3.50, 100000.
eve want no Stacker men in this
country he said today, land we want
no Stacker dollars. If those great cor
porations had a soul, they would
throw away these dollars they now
hoard"
Ferret Out Secreted Wealth.
Amendments pressed today to ferret
out hidden wealth, provide:
That brokers and boards of trade,
must make a sworn statement of
Misunderstanding forth gains or
losses-to the internal revenue depart
ment. They must also furnish such
information as may determine
whether all income tax due on profits
or gains of customers has been paid"
That banks, trust companies, real
estate dealers. insurance companies,
administrators, receivers and employ
ers, who make to another person any
payment of interest, salary, premium,
or other fixed and determinable gain,
exceeding $500 in any year, must
make a return setting out the sum
paid and to whom.
Fix Penalties.
That any person or concern which
agrees to rebate to a client any por-
ton of income tax assessed by reason
of the other two amendments shall
be fined $1,000.
These amendments have already
been tentatively agreed to but they
may further be expanded.

WILL GO INTO COURT
City to Mandamus Knapp to Compel
Him to Register Bonds.

Mandamus proceedings will be in
stituted against Fred Knapp, state
auditor, to force him to register Sill
1Ol.OS in Topeka city paving bonds.
Announcement that such proceedings
will be started in a short time unless
the state auditor draws in his horns
and registers the bonds. was made to-
day by George p. Hayden, city attor-
ney.
Knapp has wandered way out of
his beaten path to hunt trouble" said
Hayden today. II have explained the
law to him and showed him that he is
wrong. Now if he continues to hold
out We'll let the supreme court set his
mind at ease regarding the legality of
our procedure in the bond issue"
If this years bond issue is not legal,
every issue in the history of Topeka
has been Illegal, according to Hayden.
Knapp is holding out on two points,
one that the city failed to pass an
ordinance providing for the issuance;
the other that the city cannot issue
bonds for improvements until the
work is completed

Though the Democrats have for
