2 BILLIONS FIGURED
AS PAID FOR TAXES
Internal ReUenue Offices
SWamped on Last Day.
Special Despdtch TO THE SIN.

Special Despatch TO THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Tax pay
ments under the new revenue law which
have been pouring into all internal
revenue Offices in the country through
the week and which swamped many OF
the Offices to-day are expected by Treas
ury officials to total approximately s2,-
O00, 100000. This was the estimate OF
the Internal revenue bureau late to-
night on the basis of reports coming in
as to conditions in various offices.
Under the law all payments of at least
one-quarter OF the income excess profits
and war profits taxes due the Govern
ment had to be in the hands Of collecting
agents before the close Of business Re-
turns and checks postmarked up to mid,
night tonight will be received without
question, however, and It is likely that
last minute returns for several days will
not be questioned.
Though no official decision has been
made, it is reported from many collection
offices that they are swamped and can
not possibly receive all returns before
the official deadline, and as a result it
is probable that all collectors will be
allowed to use discretion as to delin-
quency In fling.
The payments to-day are OF material
assistance to the Treasury. They will
absorb $500. 100000 in Treasury certifi-
Gates OF Indebtedness issued in anticipa-
ton Of tax returns. They will tide the
Treasury over the period until receipts
begin to be received from the Victory
Loan subscriptions.
Tax payments are being made to the
Treasury through reserve banks and
even the approximate total will not show
for many days. All collectors are in
structed to send them in promptly.
Clearing houses throughout the coun-
try are facing a rush of business, as
the payments are almost all by check.
This situation has permitted many OF
the CLOSE sailers" who skim the margin
Of their bank account several days in
which the make good on the payments
to Uncle Sam. '-.t'.f
Internal revenue bureau officials, es-
innate that fully three months will be
required to check up and audit the
totals on the 100000 or more returns
made to-day before they can be checked
for errors and examined for wilful or
accidental evasionS of the tax law.
Heavy penalties await those who are
| found guilty of wilful evasion.
