TAX OODCER TO
SUFFER PENALTY
Campaign TO Disclose All Income
Delinquents-Huge Dragnet
to Catch Offenders.

Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, Daniel c. Roper, has issued
an appeal invoking the aid of the
honest citizen in bringing to jus
tice the tax dodger The bureau is
planning the organization of a huge
drsgnet for bringing into camp all
deliquents. Commissioners Roper'F
statement follows:
I'm Justice to the man who hon
estly and promptly meets his in
come tax obligations the heavy
penalties provided by the new rev
enue bill for failure or refusal
must and will be strictly enforced
Congress has carefully differen
tiated between the person who
fails and the person who 'willfuliy
refuses to file his return and pay
his tax within the time limit pre-
scribed by law. Offenders of the
first class are subject to a fine Of
no. more than $1,000 and those Of
the second class to a fine of not
more than $4,000 or Imprisonment
for one year, or both. together with
the cost of prosecution.
Ignorance of the law cannot
consistently be offered as an ex
cuse by the man who fails to file
his income tax return on time.
Wide publicity has been given the
provisions of the new revenue bill.
The vast majority therefore, of the
American people know the demands
of the government.
Certainly no consideration can
be shown the man who 'willfully
49, nr- n q Mt n
evade his Just share of the tax i'm
posed by his representative in
congress for the support of the war.
Fortunately. | am anticipating few
such cases. / believe the majority
Of persons subject to the tax will
pay their just obligations this year,
as last, cheerfully and willingly.
But the duty of the honest man
does not end with the payment OF
his own tax | call upon him for
aid in bringing into camp the tax
Stacker.
The bureau of internal revenue
is offering taxpayers every assist
ance. Corporations and individuals
unable to file their returns by
March Is, may obtain an extension
of time of 40 days by filing on or
before that date, an estimate Of the
amount of tax due, together with
payment of at least one-fOurth of
the estimated tax. This affords
ample opportunity for the filing o.
the complete return.
The bureau of internal revenue
has at its command innumerablc
sources for rounding up the tax de-
linquent. The new revenue bill
provides that as soon as practi-
cable there shall be prepared and
made available to public inspection
in the Office of each collector and
in such places as the commissioner
of internal revenue may determine
lists containing names and post
office addresses Of all persons
making income tax returns in each
district. This, together with the
information at source provisions
of the act, provides the bureau
with ample groundwork for de-
teruining its course in regard to
the prosecution of delinquentS."

AUGUSTANA WILL
HAVE MONMOUTH
DEBATE APRIL 4

Augustana will debate Monmouth
college in the college chapel April
4. in the first of the collegiate de-
bates of the season. The subject is:
Resolved. that the federal govern
ment should own and operate the
railroads of tho country" Angus
tana will argue the affirmative side
OF the question and will be repre-
scented by Robert Oimstead, leader,
Roy johnson and Luther Kron. The
team is led By n veteran In COL
legiate debate and ia composed Of
men experienced in the forensic
art. Augustana will send another
team to Jacksonville to debate I'LL
nois college the same night. This
team will argue this negative side
Of the question. The personnel Of
the team which will make the Jack
sonville trip has not as yet been
definitely decided. AS Augustana IS
this year represented by three in
teTeollegiate teams either of the
other two will be picked to make the
trip. The personnel of the second
team Is: Hamline Mattson, leader:
Hult Wilson and James Fitzpat-
rick. while the third team is com
posed of Leonard Kendall, leader;
Dewey Lundquist and Carl FTyxeil.
Three practice debates are being
held each week. Each team alter
mates in the clashes and all teams
who are under the tutelage of
Professor ]. F. Page, have received
the practice of debating both sides
of the question. Professors at the
college and lawyers from the city
are present at each practice debate
and pass criticism upon the delivery
and argument of the teams.
The question of government own
ership is an especially timely one
and has been adopted by most of
the schools of the country as the
subject for collegiate debate. The
question is interesting because it
will soon call for settlement from
the American people,
Greater interest is being eFineed
this year than at almost any year
previous Augustana won three de-
bates last year by defeating Mon
mouth, st, OF and Gustavus Adolf
phus and prospects for a successful
season are exceptionally promising.
