be given priority over all other cities
in the country in the granting Of per-
mits for the building of the giant

primary grain market and will become
the temporary storehouse for much of
the grain grown in the northwest as

vided.

Dubuque. oct. 24.--Twcnty thousand
income tax slackers have been uncov-
cred in the state of Iowa, according to
"A statement issued yesterday at the
offices of Louis II. Murphy, internal
revenue collector of Iowa. Thirty five
field officers in statewide drive in
augurated late last summer have been
unrelentng in their efforts to force
payment of taxes which should have
been paid in April. Since April, PEN
alties amounting to thousands of dol
lars have been levied and collected, to-
gether with the principal.
The record OF one squad Of eight
field workers for five months shows
5000 slackers were rounded up. The
collections of this particular group of
men, netted more than quarter of n
million dollars. A great percentage Of
the delinquents. Mr. Murphy said yes
terday. failed TO make returns thru ig
norance of the far reaching demands of
the government.
Many Ignorant Of Law.
However. many of them should not
be termed as 'slackers in it's broadcast
sense" said the collector. They failed
to realize or understand many phases
of the income tax and took it for grant
ed they were exempt. On the other
hand there were thousands who at
tempted to evade payment or camou-
fiage their returns in such manner
as to apparently make them immune
from payment. These were promptly
checked up with the result that they
were forced to pay sums ranging as low
as Sc and penalty up to $4,000 and pen
atty.
1T would be hard to estimate what
the sum total of all Iowa delinquent
collections will amount to. but they
may be near the half million mark
when all returns have been made. The
system inaugurated in handling de-
linQuents and slackers in Iowa is now
in vogue in practically every state in
the union and will eliminate in the
treasury securing many millions justly
due which otherwise would have never
been paid"
