is seldom purchased by other than
financial institutions, whereas IN Eu-

fords a medium for the ready purchase
or sale Of such paper. IL has been au-
thoritatively estimated that the vol

81 500 600 900 10 $4,000 .000, 900. The

Saturday, August 20, 1917.

1t is not at all improbable, as SEN
ator Lewis charges, that the gov
eminent has been swindled out Of
$500, 100000 through failure of
those with incomes taxable under
the law to file returns or through
failure to make complete returns.
II is, however, altogether likely that
the greater part Of this loss has been
sustained through dishonesty Of
those with moderate incomes rather
than by reason of the dishonesty Of
the rich, as is asserted. Statisti-
clans have variously estimated that
from 10 10 70 per cent of those
with taxable incomes avoid payment
Of the impost by the simple eXpe-
dent Of making no return. Probably
Is per cent is too high an estimate
and Is per cent too low, but in any
event the percentage is larger than
i. should be. The reason for sup
posing that the loss sustained by
dishonesty among those with small
incomes is greater than that result
ing from dishonesty Of those with in
comes mounting up into the hun
Greds Of thousands is not that the
latter are any more virtuous; prob
ably there is no great difference IN
that respect. But the fact is the
number with large incomes is limit
cd, and their incomes are easily
traced, wherefore it is much more
difficult for them 10 escape the tax
collector. Also, it happens that the
appropriation for the collection Of
the income tax has in the past been
inadequate. A Treasury official has
stated frankly that the money ap-
propriated for the purpose was spent
and effort concentrated mainly on
securing full returns from the rich,
simply because that was the most
profitable thing to do. Little at
tempt has been made to check up
the returns of small taxpayers or
to discover the small delinquents
who had failed to make returns.
Congress did not provide enough
money to do the work, and millions
# dollars more could have been
spent at a profit. Now that the ex-
emption limit is to be lowered, it
will be necessary to keep closer
watch on returns.
