INCOME TAX HIGH TO DODGERS
(CoItinued from page II


to comply with the Internal Revenue
Laws, fully and honestly, the Bureau
| extends a helping hand. Co-opera-
ton with the taxpayer is our watch
| word and objective.
'SThese two contrasts-the teeth
of the law for the tax-dodger and
the violator, and the aid of every
lawful agency for the voluntary tax
payer-are policies necessary to the
administration of tax-dodgers under
| modern conditions.
lone of the most difficult of the
many problems in tax collections is
to classify those who fail to fulfill
the obligations imposed by law The
Bureau is obliged to maintain large
staff and use the utmost discre-
ton in properly labelling the cases.
Even-handed justice is a heavy re-
sponsibility, and only through care
full siftings can delinquents be clas-
sifed.
There are three distinct classes
of delinquency with which we have
to deal. First, the taxpayer who had
reasonable cause, brought about by
exceptional conditions beyond his
control; secondly, the fellow who
didn't look up or didn't realize his
obligations, and thirdly, the person
who wilfully eyaded compliance with
the law.
AS for the man who shows a rea-
sonable cause within certain lines es-
tablished by the Bureau, no penalties
are asserted. All other delinquents
are more carefully investigated be-
fore prosecution is begun. Many Of
these offenses are caused by ignor-
ance and negligence. Failure to
make the reports required by law
may in some cases warrant severe
penalty, as where the delinquent con-
tinues his delinquency after being
warned of the penalty for failure to
make return. However, if the de-
linquent takes immediate corrective
action, and it is clearly established
through investigation that he did not
wilfu1ly violate the law, the Bureau
allows him to compromise his liabili-
ty to specific penalty by rendering
nominal sum of money In such in
stances the money is not really in
compromise but assessed to impress
the taxpayer against future viola
lions
''But there is no relief, no com
promise, for the man who wilful-y
evades, wilfully neglects, or wilfully
falsiies. He is classed with other
law breakers in the eyes of the Blu
reau, and is vigorously prosecuted in
the courts. No other course is open
to the Bureau, in meeting fairly and
squarely the demand of the willing
taxpayers 81 will-the other man

est taxpayer and the Bureau to locate
and punish the dishonest tax-dodger.

! taxation has been from the indirect

Of the cost of government. Gradu-

ITEMS FROM SHIP YARD.
CONTINUED from page II

We have seen Mr.. Geo. Cardone
sizing up ship No. ), and believe he
intends to move his caulking men
over there soon.
Mr.. Joe. Cardone, foreman of ship
No. 5, does not have much to say,
but has plenty to do all the time.
If you don't believe this just call
around for few lessons from Joe.
We often wonder how all the tim
Der can be gotten out so rapidly, but
after taking look at the woodwork
ing shop it can be understood. Mr..
Caddin has a system all of his own
that can surely produce the goods.
Mr.. Haas does not have much to
say about the Abbeville, but we be
lieve that he is willing to bet that
the Bayou Tech and Balabac will
have nothing on his boat.
If you want to know why Mr.. Mer-
rit can hustle all day long just in
quire of him about his quart bottle
(of milk. Mr. Merritt says that
when prohibition goes into effect on
July LIST he has to be prepared.
Mr.. Berry Nichols says that he ex-
poets to have committee from the
Railroad Administration to call on
him relative to track repairs, as he
thinks no railroad can have anything
on his track work.
Mr.. Robert O'Brien's slogan now
adays is, well, that's done; what is
next?"
Just because you cannot see by
walking about the yard what the In
stallation Department is ing, don't
judge that it is not producing the
goods. Just step on board No. 4
and you will see that they are pro-
ducing good results. We will have
more to say about this department
in our next issue.

FOR ONE CONCERT
TRAVELLED 1000 MILES.

That Marie Rappold, the celebrated
concert soprano who viii be heari
here Monday, Nov, IL, at the high
school auditorium is a great traveller
may be assumed from the fact that
during the past summer she travel-
led from New York to Tacoma, Wash
and return for one concert, II distance
OF nearly 1000 miles.
Madame Rappold was recuperatmg
from strenuous winter Of concert
and operate activities at her fine
farm In New York State about 1870
miles from the metropolis, when She
received hurry call from her man
agement for date IN the far north
west. II seems that the Chamber Of
Commerce of Tacoma decided to give
a summer series Of concerts at the
outdoor stadium Of that city, ana
were securing the country for suitable
talent to make such n series success.
A request came by wire for Nine
Rappold at her own price, and the
prma donna gHciously obliged, feel
ing that any city which wanted her
that badly ought not to be disap-
pointed.
The entire trip was made without
a hitch. and Nine Rappold had the
pleasure OF singing to 5000 persons in
the great Tacoma ampitheatre. Her
success may be judged from the fo'-
lowing notice in the Seattle Post-ln-
terigence of July %, 1919.
more than one internationally fa-
nous prima donna. when robbed Of
the gorgeous scenic investiture of
grand opera. and the intricate tonal
background Of great orchestra, fails
ITO triumph SO completely as when In
lher accustomed setting. But Madame
Rappold is not numbered among these.
Last night her magnetic personality,
maided by the painted scene or the
lcaressing harmonics of strings ana
woodwind. Illuminated her singing
throughout the program, captivating
even the least ina aginatiye among her
audience.
Her art is not self-conscious, but
like that of Shelley's sky-lark is ap-
parently unprecedented the full, rich

sequence. without effort, and exert .
