Governor and Council Wednesday
evening to advocate the continuance
Of the State assistance for the bu-

came to the rescue Of the bureau
through the action last March of the
Legislature, it was thought that Con-
gress would by the end of June at
tend to the situation and provide
funds for the continuance of the
work, which had been very impor-
tant for the returned soldiers and
sailors in securing employment, but
that Congress had so far failed to
do so. although the bill has long
been prepared and under considera-
ton.
Mr.. Hichborn said that the bureau
had been able to save $500 Of the
total of $4,000 advanced by the State

received the carcass of a calf moose
that had been killed on Wednesday
by a train on the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad at Schoodic. The little cnap
was about eight weeks old and a fine
specimen. Mr.. James says he has
standing applica tions from Two Of
the states for specimens of calf
moose. but as our own museum needs
just such an exhibit. he will keep
and mount it for Maine.

Maine Institution for the Blind
The object of this institution is for the

10 directors. elected by the corporation
and five appointed by the Governor.

institution at time of inspection MAY u

The state pays the institution 81 per
week per pupil. All of the blind people
at the institution. including the instruc-
tors. are being billed against the State
appropriation. Previous to 1917, the
State paid the institution a lump sum,
$4,000 annually. In 1917 and 1918 the
price paid was sssS per week. The

The A. G's. Employment Bureau

An interesting point in the finding
of employment for the returned SOL
diers is found in the work being done
by the adjutant generals depart
ment. When the Goth Division came
home from France, Lieut.. Fitzmau-
rice was sent to Camp Devens and
all men of the 103d Regiment, for
merly the I'd Maine, and the 1O1st
Engineers. which had many Maine
men, who desired employment were
listed, a card system being used.
The adjutant generals department
received these cards about the first
of May and Immediately began find
ing employment for the approx
mately 200 boys who had signified
that they would like employment at
once.

WATCH OUT!
Mr.. Tax Dodger; or the
COLLINS will Get You.

How does Uncle Sam deal with tax
dodgers? This inquiry, which was
prompted by the severe penalties pro-
vided in the new revenue bill, has
brought from Commissioner Daniel
c. Roper a frank statement as to the
Internal Revenue Bureaus attitude
toward those who attempt to evade
tayation.
ANY person who deliberately con-
ceals tax liability, or who falsifes a
return in order TO reduce or evade
any internal revenue tax, or who de-
'beratJly abets such concealment of
fraud, frds arrayed against him the
entire strength of>this Bureau press
ing for ,.he full civil and criminal
penalties. That is the attitude to-
ward tax-dodgors, expressed in one
sentence. Whether he is moon
sinner, a stealthy trafficker in habit
forming drugs, iuggler of income
figures, a delinquent in making the
sworn return the law requires, or a
revenue violator Of any other kind,
the Bureau is charged with the duty
Of hunting him out and exacting the
full punishment provided by law.
Toward the taxpayer who means
tc comply with the internal revenue
laws, fully and honestly, the Bureau
extends a helping hand, cooperation
with the taxpayer is our watchword
and objective
These two contrasts teeth of
the law for the tax-dodger and the
violator, and the aid of every lawful
agency for the voluntary taxpayer
are policies necessary to the success
full administration of tax laws under
modern conditions.
"One of the most difficult of the
many problems in tax collecting is to
classify those who fail to fulfill the
obligations imposed by law. The
Bureau is obliged to maintain large
staff and to use the utmost discretion
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-02-27

IN properly labelling these cases.
Even-handed justice is heavy re-
sponsibility, and only through careful
siftings can delinquents be classified
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 did
not look up or didn't realize his OBJ
legations; and thirdly the person who
wilfully evaded con plance with The
law.
GAS for the man VINO shows rea-
5oEable cause within certain lines es-
tabllshed by the Bureau, no penalties
are asserted. All other delinquents
aie more carefully investigated be-
fore prosecution is begun. Many Of
these offenses are caused by ignor-
ance and carelessness. Failure to
make the reports required by law may
IN some cases warrant severe penal
ties, as where the delinquent contin-
ues his delinquency after being warn
ed Of the penalty for failure TO make
return. However, if the delinquent
takes immediate corrective action,
and il is clearly established through
investigation that he did not wilfully
violate the law, the Bureau allows
him to comprimise his liability to
specific penalty by rendering a nom
inal sum of money. In such instances
the money is not really in compromise
but assessed to impress the taxpayer
against future violation.
But there is no relief, no com
promise for the man who wilfully
,vades, wilfully neglects or wilfully
falsihes. 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 opes
to the Bureau, in meeting fairly and
squarely the demand of the willing
taxpayer 81 will-the other mans
must. There IS solemn respon-
sibility thus existing between the hon
est taxpayer and the Bureau 70 locate
and punish the dishonest tax-dodger.
