TO PROSECUTE ALL
 INCOME TAX sLAcKERs.
No Mercy for the Man Who Evades
 His Share of War Burden.

'Tax slaekers will be prosecuted as vigorously and relentlessly under the war revenue act as draft slackers were prosecuted under the selective service act. The aid of all good citizens is invoked in bringing to justice the man who deliberately seeks to evade his just share of the war burden"
 This was the statement of Com missioner of Internal Revenue Daniel IC. Roper. With only a few days left m which to file income tax returns, he has practically completed the organiza- ton of huge dragnet for bringing into camp all persons who fail to file their returns by April |. Revenue off eers in every section of the country are checking up returns with view to beginning prosecutions against tax dodgers. The word has gone forth ttat such offenders need expect no lenieney. Through it's educational campaign the bureau of internal revenue has en- deavofed to cover the field so thor oughly that ignorance of the law ean- not be consistently offered as an ex- cuse,' said Commissioner Roper. 'sThe press, the four minute men, the state and county councils of national de- fense, the field force of the depart ment of agriculture and other govern ment departments, banks, postoffiees and hundreds of volunteer agencies have eo-eperated in bringing home to the. taxpayer his duty.
 .The man who failed to register un- der the selective service act was re- garaed by the war department as a i stacker and prosecuted as such. The man who fails to file his income fax return will be regarded as money slacker,' and, when discovered, as he
 will be, will be made to suffer the full penalties of the law.
 ITO the credit of the nation it may
 be said that I have gratifying and con
 elusive evidence that these income tax
 es will be paid by the great majority of the American people cheerfully ant willingly. But the duty of the homes man does not end with the paymen of his own tax. call upon him tt aid in bringing into camp tax dodgers
 A man so niggardly as to seek t levade what his representatives in con.
 gress have declared to be his just share of tax imposed for the support 0 our arms Is deserving of no consider. ation, and will receive none.
 Congress has distributed this tai Justly and +equihahly. The rate ii fixed so that the rich men and tn, linen of moderate means are assessed
 each according to his income. No rnal can offer the excuse that his neighbo escapes what he is made to pay Therefore, it is incumbent upon al good citizens to aid in carrying ou the intent and spirit of the law, whicl lis that the burden of the war tax b. evenly distributed and every man com
 pelled to pay his just quota.'
